Today we've added a collection of useful 15mm bits and pieces.
We have some barbed wire - non-lethal, with no spiky bits, but a good scale representation.
The new mini cargo container is the same design as our existing ones, just smaller.
As well as being handy for vehicles and ground installations, the two radars types are designed to fit the turret rings on most of our vehicles.
And to finish things off, two plain bases add to the options in our fireteam bases range.

SF15-923 – Mini Container – £1.50
SF15-925 – Large Radar (x2) – £3.00
SF15-926 – Small Radar (x2) – £1.50
SF15-927 – Barbed Wire (10m) – £4.00
SF15-928 – Plain Base – £0.50
SF15-929 – Large Plain Base – £0.60

MWBG 388

Here's what you can expect in issue 388. Of course, we have our regular spots:

  • The Editor has his Briefing, and covers the online world as it relates to wargamers in his World Wide Wargaming
  • Neil Shuck examines the trends in the hobby in Forward Observer.
  • Diane Sutherland uses her Wargames Widow column to provide terrain-making tips.
  • Fantasy Facts columnist John Treadaway scans the worlds of fantasy and sci-fi wargaming.
  • Conrad Kinch with his Send three and fourpence column writes about the hobby from a slightly eccentric point of view.
  • Boardgame specialist Brad Harmer uses his Hex Encounter column to describe the joys of the two-dimensional gaming world.
  • And our highly respected Recce section reviews all manner of books, rulesets, miniatures and other stuff.

In this issue, we also have:

  • Nikolas Lloyd describes his mammoth, multinational one-day wargaming project Operation Crossfire, where dozens of players across several continents fought WWII battles as part of the same campaign simultaneously!
  • Serving army Captain Charlie M Grant gives us Common sense – A foundation in tactics, posing some fundamental questions about the need for sound knowledge so you can successfully react to a situation on the tabletop.
  • Andrew Rolph refreshes our collective memory that the Napoleonic Wars had covered a great deal more ground than just Waterloo by delivering What! No Wellington? Central and Eastern Europe 1800-1814, a complete set of fast-play wargaming rules.
  • Trevor Halsall is back with another American Civil War scenario, Wildfire in the Wilderness, based on the fighting around the intersection of the Orange Plank Road with the Brock Road in Virginia on May 5th
  • Mick Sayce is well known for his series on the Mongols, but he’s also clever at creating Terrain for Tiny Chaps, and opens a two-parter on creating scenery suitable for 6mm and 10mm miniatures.
  • And of course we have an update from our continuing Battlegames Combat Stress Appeal.

Brigade Models 15mm Buildings

Because of holidays, we haven't properly publicised our latest 15mm releases, so here's a slightly delayed catch-up.

The recently released 6mm Desert Dome buildings have been very popular and we’ve had more than the odd request to produce them in 15mm. So that’s exactly what we’ve done, with the three smallest buildings now available in the larger scale. The tallest cylindrical building comes in at an impressive 120mm tall.

In addition, our British 15mm figures have gained some heavy weapon options. We had trouble casting some of the original pieces, so instead we've used the same tripod weapons supplied with our PacFed figures.

B15-403 - Small Cylindrical Building - £12.00
B15-404 - Small Multi-dome Dwelling - £9.00
B15-405 - Small Oval Dwelling - £9.00
SF15-165a – Tripod MG and crew (x2) – £3.00
SF15-165b – Tripod Railgun and crew (x2) – £3.00
SF15-165c – Tripod Gatling and crew (x2) – £3.00
SF15-165d – Tripod Tri-barrel and crew (x2) – £3.00
