It’s the last weekly post before the Joy of Six 2026, and there’s a lot to cram in, but before all of the excitement, here is this week’s order number, which stands at #32336.

It’s been a long while since we presented a game under the Baccus banner, be we do think the wait wlll have been worth it.   Following our long tradition of producing fast moving and simple participation games, our Lens project will have its first outing on July 13th.   We think it is the best looking game we have done to date – or at least, it will be when we get it all finished.   In the meantime, here is Work In Progress featuring the French army of General Conde.   By the time we have finished, there will be just short of 4000 figures on a 6 foot by 4 foot table.

 

In response to lots of requests, you can download a copy of the very, very, very simple rules that we will be using HERE.

That’s all for now, but there will be a couple more updates in the run up to the show.
