For the last time - More Thirty Years War flags

Another week and yes, another load of Thirty Years War flags released.   This time we are making available colours for the French and Dutch armies.

Manchester come to somewhere unspecified in Leicester

Which is my roundabout way of letting you know about our recent weekend at the World Championships, ex of Derby (twice), ex of Castle Donnington and now at Bruntingthorpe, deep, deep in the darkest heart of rural Leicestershire.

The ever reliable Derek Pitman accompanied me in this expedition with his wonderful Siege of Manchester ECW game

Great War ANZACs and, you guessed it, yet more TYW flags!

The latest batch of Great War releases are now available in the form of the redoubtable ANZAC Corps.

WW2 odds and ends and yet more TYW flags

It’s new release time!   We’ve had some little extras to add the WW2 range in various stage of preparation for some time now, and here are the end results.    The British, Germans and US paratroopers all get some drop canisters.

Historical gaming - 'The times they are a changing.'

Bit of a change of tack with this entry.  No new items to pimp or updates to give.  No, I’m going to have a bit of a ramble about the state of the wargaming hobby as I see it.   It might go on a bit, but I hope that you’ll stick with it and let me know what you think on the Baccus forum.

Some 20thC bits and pieces

We've been filling in a few small gaps in the 20thC ranges ahead of the next full scale releases.   First off, we have a meaty 8" Howitzer for the Great War British:

More Thirty Years War flags and some new scenic items

Carrying on from where I left off last time I'm pleased to announce that we have four new Thirty Years War flag sheets on offer.

What I did on my Holidays. Oh, and some TYW flags...

I got wet, got whirled around, and got poorer.  On the other hand, had a great time with a very excited five year old let loose on a theme park.   There you go.

So back to work and it really is a case of landing with feet running as The Other Partizan show is coming up this weekend..   We'll be in our usual spot and be showing off some new items in the shape of the first releases from our new TYW flag sheets.

Baccus goes on Holiday

It's been a gruelling few months for us folk at Baccus Towers and we've decided to take a Summer break.    To that end, we will be closed from 4th August until 14th August.

While we are away sampling the hedonistic delights of the fleshpots of somwhere or other, (that translates as sheltering from a force 10 gale behind a windbreak on a forlorn seafront), no phone calls or emails will be answered.   The site shopping cart will still be functioning and we'll pick up the orders upon our return.

Right, I'm off to pack my bags...

The Joy of Six 2017 – part 2

With the dust settling on the first part of this report, it is now time to dive back into the depths of Sheffield Hallam’s stunning Heartspace atrium and have a look at the other games on display.  Thanks again to Nick Johnson for the photos.
