Cry Havoc and let loose the Shopping Cart of War(games figures)!

2019-10-12 00:00:00

 

Emerging through a heady atmospheric mix of brick and saw dust mingled with good old workshop muck, the Baccus team are taking a well deserved weekend break following a three week marathon of moving stuff, dismantling stuff, rebuilding stuff, moving stuff again, rebuilding other stuff and finally realising that everyone had been working from a different version of the plan. 'Stuff that for a game of tin soldiers!' was the heartfelt response to all of this.

Shopping cart closed for a while as we rebuild the workshop

2019-09-23 00:00:00

We've now closed the shopping cart to new orders for three weeks.   The reason?   Well, after a decade or so of organic growth, adding bits of kit  and cobbling storage together, the workshop layout is buckling under the strain of an extra casting machine, extra staff and lots and lots of extra moulds.   The time has come for a complete reorganisation of how we do things here at Baccus central.

It's too quiet out there - just TOO darned quiet...

...and yes, in any halfway decent film the actor uttering those fateful words has approximately 1.5 seconds of employment ahead of him before an arrow buries itself in his chest and he slides off his horse, a lifeless corpse.

New WW2 Releases - British Airborne

2019-07-15 00:00:00

We put this group of new releases on sale at the Joy of Six 2019, and it is safe to say that they made a lot of people very happy indeed.  And so, without further ado, shilly-shallying, beating about the bush, prevaricating or, indeed, holding up proceedings needlessly, I shall persevere in my resolve to get this deed done, speedily, with alacrity and the utmost urgency.   Indeed I will go so far as to say that the speed of this announcement will be matchless, nay peerless in its determination to part the clouds of obfuscation and get directly to the point!

Now where was I?  Oh, yes, British Airborne...

JOS 2019 - Thanks to all concerned

2019-07-08 00:00:00

Just a quick note to thank everyone who made the Joy of Six 2019 such a vibrant, enjoyable and successful event.    I'll start with the very hard-working 'yellowshirts' for doing the hard work on the ground and my long suffering partner Lindy for all the behind the scenes admin and organisation.   I'll move on to the traders for travelling long distances, (VERY long distances in the case of GM Boardgames).   Next comes all the individuals and groups who put the huge amount of time and effort into producing and staging the stunning games.   You all deserve gold medals.  Finally, all of you who turned out and coughed up your entry fees and then put a smile on the faces of all the traders.   Without traders, exhibitors and visitors, there is no show.   Thank you for coming together to make the event work.
