Get yer Salute orders in, but first, some more Poles.

Hello all,  and welcome to the weekly Baccus update.   As usual we start proceedings with this week’s magic order number, which stands at #23907.   This doesn’t quite tell the whole story, as we have another fortyish orders that should have gone out this week and are packed and ready , but we simply ran out of time to invoice and process them.  We’ll get on to these first thing Monday morning and get a head start.

As I explained last week, there won’t be any new releases in the run-up to Salute, but get ready for some teaser and previews.   However,  this leaves me without any pretty pictures to brighten up this week’s piece, so I thought I’d show you a couple of releases from the recently released GNW Polish range.   These hadn’t had examples painted up and photographed at the time of release so they haven’t been seen before.

The return of the Magic Number!

After a couple of week’s Sabbatical I am pleased to announce that the Magic Number has returned to us and currently stands at #23862.   However, for some reason, even more than normal we do have a number of orders that come after that which have been completed, and an equal number prior that missed the cut.   For those of you who are ahead of the number, you are now officially ahead of the game, for those behind, please be assured that yours will catch up in next week’s batch.

By way of an apology

This week’s update is a bit of an apology.   Last week’s activity on my part was curtailed by personal circumstances and a snow day which kept me away from work.  As a result, while there were many orders cast and awaiting processing, I was unable to get them on their way.  As a result, no magic number update this week.   The good news is that I will be back on these at the start of the new week and will catch up over the next couple of days, and get everything back to some sort of ‘normal’ by the end of the week.  I am sorry if your order has been held up by all of this, but be assured that I will be working hard to  get things running again.

Joy of Six 2023 - Games and Traders to date

Even as the snow is bucketing down outside, our thoughts here at Baccus HQ are turning to the Sunshine and warmth of early July.  Yes, it's time for another update for the Joy of Six 2023!

We now have sixteen confirmed games in a range of sizes and subjects.   There is room for lots more, so if you fancy joining in the fun book a place with us.   All the details can be found at www.joysofsix.co.uk, but for those of you who can't be bothered to click the link, here they are:

The Winged Hussars are here!

Welcome to a delayed weekly update from your friendly neighbourhood maker of little men.  For various technical reasons there will be no order update this week, but normal service will be resumed with the next entry.

However, we do have a full set of nice new releases…

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...
