JOS26 - The pre-show Beer & Curry event

It’s another Joy of Six post this week, so let’s get the Magic number out of the way, and it currently stands at #34360.

The Joy of Six weekend will see wargamers from all over the world descending on Sunny Sheffield for THE Premier wargaming event of the year.  Forget your Salutes and your Historicons and your Partizans.  They are mere 28mm infested shades of the Real Thing.  On top of that only JOS offers the pre-show just for 6mm enthusiasts!

The ‘We aren’t at Salute, so here is a sale to compensate but it’s a week late’, announcement!

I suppose that the title sort of destroys the sense of suspense, so let’s get straight in with this week’s magic number which stands at #34310.  But you really don’t want to know that, you need to know more about our unexpected show of generosity.

The truth is that Peter completely lost the plot last year and cocked up the booking for a trade stand at this year’s Salute.  We know from the emails and calls that a lot of you missed our presence at this prestigious event, including a couple who hadn’t heard the news that we weren’t there and spent the day in a forlorn Baccus hunt.  Sorry guys…

From the Chief Executive

Part of my job as the dynamic, thrusting energetic chief executive of Baccus Megacorp Industries is to impart a dynamic, thrusting, and energetic feel to the weekly updates about the dynamic, thrusting and, yes, energetic business.  So, without further ado, here is this week’s thrusting, dynamic and energetic order number, which is #34299.

Yes, another Joy of Six update.

This week we are talking about the Joy of Six 2026, but first, this week’s order number which currently stands at #34255.

We’ve just updated the games list for JOS26 and it’s filling out very nicely.  We have got 22 games booked with a very diverse range of subjects, periods and scale of actions, all in glorious 3D technicoloured 6mm.

This week, I have mostly been painting Swiss...and Lindy says there's only three days left.

Hi All, welcome to the Baccus weekly update.  Following on from Lindy’s last message I am typing this on my phone huddled up to the casting machine to  which she has ever so kindly chained me.   Enough of this maudlin rubbish – here is this week’s order number, #34232.

Keeping Peter from under my feet Sale!

Hi there, Lindy the Boss Person here. While doing the invoicing I’ve noted that we’ve caught up massively on the order backlog.  Peter has just told me in that smug way of his that we should have caught up pretty much completely by then end of next week and he could therefore relax a little bit.

Magic number and what would you like to see?

This week I am throwing a question or two out there regarding this year’s Joy of Six show, but firstly the magic number which stands at #34200.   We are actually making really good progress on orders and if all goes well, the end of next week should see us bang up to date.

Lindy and I were chatting about this year’s show, and it’s fairly obvious that she regards me as slacking on the day as she ‘suggested’ that I should do some hands-on workshops.  You know, demonstrate painting or basing techniques and just show people how to tackle things that they find hard.

Order update and a note regarding Salute

We’ve been pushing the feckless Baccus casting goblins hard the last couple of weeks and as a result we have new magic order number standing at #34169.  

Joy of Six Update

Yes, everyone's favourite show is now just three months away, and it is shaping up very nicely.   We have lots of games booked in covering a wide range of periods and genres, as well as a growing list of traders all hoping to make your retail experience a happy one.

I've just updated the Joy of Six website with the latest addtions, so click here to go and have a peek.

As ever, the day prior to the show we will be running our popular Baccus workshop tours.  Place on these are booking up quickly, so if you want to reserve your spot, click here to reserve a space.

If you fancy putting on a game at the show, we are still taking bookings.   If you can'tg see your must-have 6mm traders on the list, write to them and give them a poke.  They are a lazy bunch and are dreadful at getting their bookings in to us!

Swiss Army knives and swords and pikes and arqubuses

It’s time for the Baccus weekly update.   No magic number with this post, as Lindy is still working on finalising it, but she has promised to make it available tomorrow while I am at Hammerhead with the Baccus trade stand.

However, that is not the main purpose of this week’s piece. It’s New Release time! As promised, the Swiss infantry is now available for the Italian Wars, and colourful little chaps they are
