If you are waiting for the winged hussars to save the day...

A very good evening/afternoon/morning (delete as appropriate) to all our readers.  It’s time for the weekly Baccus update, and as usual we will start with the much-anticipated magic number.  This week we are up to order #23633.

A Crusader and an Oddity...

Once again, Friday comes around and with a certain degree of fatality, so does the all-important order number, which this week rests at #23582.

The new releases this week revert to type as we add a couple more vehicles to the Second World War range.

Joy of Six 2023 update

It’s time for a quick update on this year’s Joy of Six show.   The site at www.joysofsix.co.uk has just been updated.  We now have fifteen games booked in and more to come.   As usual, the variety amazing in terms of size, subject and style with the Second World War and various science fiction settings being most popular.  

Glorious Technicolour!

Welcome to the Baccus weekly update and the news that this week, the completed orders have reached the dizzying, nay vertiginous heights of #23530.  

All of which moves us on to this week’s new release.   To be honest, it’s more of a re-release in the form of our all new, full colour edition of our very popular Polemos Napoleonic rules.   

A little tank, some light armour and some armoured cavalry

Welcome all the Baccus weekly update.  I’ve a few bits and pieces to cover, so let’s get the immediate issue out of the way with this week’s order number reached, which this time is #23454.

Read on for the new goodies and to find out more about these...

Little Wars TV Baccus Open Day video

I'd like to draw some attention to a new video from the Little Wars team. When Greg et al came over to the UK to attend last year's Joy of Six show, they also joined in our Baccus Open Day workshop tour.

Given that these chaps seemed to be permanantly attached to a camera while they were ever here, they recorded their experience and the result is a nice little ten minute video which you can find here https://youtu.be/1Z4udPcB0xs

The release is great timing, as we are now taking bookings for the 2023 Baccus Open Day. This will take place on Saturday 1st July, the day before this year's Joy of Six.

Places are limited, so it's always best to get your booking in early. There are two sessions, morning and afternoon. If you want to reserve your place(s), then do get in contact.

Old friends revisited.

Welcome to the Baccus weekly update, and what is currently a rare occurrence – the weekly new releases without any shades of olive drab, khaki or dunkelgelb.  But more of that later, as it’s time for the order number update.  This week we have reached the dizzying heights of #23380.

The first of this week’s releases is more of a new look for an old friend...

Just your average weekly Baccus update

Welcome to another week and another Baccus update.  As ever, we’ll start proceedings off with this week’s milestone of the order number which is #23298. 

Before we get into the new releases for this week, I thought I’d share something of a behind the scenes process we are doing with the Baccus website.   While we have the vast majority of our codes illustrated with a photograph, some of the photos themselves are not of the best quality.   We are constantly looking to upgrade older images.  This week, it has been the turn of the Dacians in our Ancients range.

Magic number, new releases, the Joy of Six and Vapnartak.

Another Friday, another  week gone and time for another Baccus Magic Number.  This week, we have arrived at #23191.  With the formalities out of the way, it’s time for another batch of new releases.  This week we have two offerings, both second world war British.

The Joy of Six 2023

It's that time of year again!  If you want to present your wonderful game at the best 6mm themed wargames show in the world, then booking are now open.  If you want at trade stand to display your 6mm wares to the biggest collection of potential customers to be found in any one place, then you too can book your space.  If you want to come along and be part of the most vibrant show on the UK wargames circuit, then get the date in your diary!

Just toddle along to www.joysofsix.co.uk to make your bookings.   As we fill our the list of traders and games, the site will be updated to reflect this.   I am also working on getting galleries of games for previous shows up and running.

2023 will mark our tenth year of the show.  In the decade, the event has grown steadily from a small hall with  about 50 attendees to the sbow that we have today.   Let's see if we can make our tenth show one to remember.
