We've got a useful bunch of releases for the Blitzkrieg Commander players next, with some tokens and templates now available for use in your games!

First up we've got a selection of dice: The D6 Weather dice can be used with the Weather Optional Rule and provide Sun, Overcast, Rain, Snow, Lightning and Fog. We'd suggest using Sun and Overcast as 'Good' weather, Rain and Fog as 'Poor' weather maybe, leaving Snow and Lightning for 'Extreme' weather conditions? The Deviation dice come as a pair, with one containing an arrow and a number, the other being a regular D6 spot dice. The D8 Compass dice can also be used for deviation, as well as in some of the deployment rules.

Secondly we've got some markers for both Suppressed and Deployed. These have been designed as handy doughnut shapes so that they can be hung over gun barrels or placed over the top of an infantry figure.

Next up are a pair of templates, one for the Restricted firing arcs and the other for showing your front, flank and rear aspects during firing and close assault actions. These are both around 100mm diameter with a 50mm internal space to fit around your BKC bases.

And finally we've got some templates for all of your off-table attacks: The Artillery support get either a 20cm circle concentration or 20cm square barrage template, while the Air Support get either a 30x10cm ground attack or 30cm circular bomber template.

We'll be looking at some more tokens/markers for release later in the year, but let us know if there's any particular gaming aids that you'd like to see.

TB Line Teutonics Released!

The next batch of TB Line moulds is complete so we're very happy to announce that the Teutonics are back on sale!

This range has 8 codes covering mounted command, cavalry and infantry with a nice mix of sculpts in each. We've also managed to find a couple of extra poses in the master moulds so both the 'Crossbowmen' and 'Heavy European infantry' have got an extra pose which might not have been available previously. As with the other TB ranges, the horses and riders are separate castings and some of these also have separate shields.

For those who've not had any TB Line figures before, they match up very well to our own in both size and proportions. We've not made any changes to the sculpts but they have been cleaned up for the new moulds and are much crisper castings.

TB Line
Middle Age Teutonics
TB-4163 Mounted command group (15) £5.50
TB-4164 Teutonic Knights (15) £5.50
TB-4165 European Heavy Knights (15) £5.50
TB-4166 Light cavalry with short weapons (15) £5.50
TB-4167 Light cavalry with lances (15) £5.50
TB-4168 Crossbowmen (30) £5.50
TB-4169 Light European infantry (30) £5.50
TB-4170 Heavy European infantry (30) £5.50
(Packs contain 15 cavalry or 30 infantry)

And the pics:

We'd bumped the Teutonics ahead of the Islamics so those will now be the next TB range to come back online. We'll be getting to those once the Indian Mutiny range is all done and released.

V1 Launch Ramp Released!

Well we promised you something special and here it is!  Many years ago we had a V1 with a launch ramp, but it was a single piece casting and quite basic so we decided to upgrade it a little bit...!

This new launch ramp is a fantastic bit of work by John at Ironclad Miniatures and has been given an equally outstanding paintjob by the talented Jason Dawson of JAD Designs.  John has based the design on the launch sites found at du Mesnil au Val or Vacquerie Le Boucq.

Comprising of 8 pieces, the resin launch ramp comes in two base pieces along with a ramp, 4 supports and a sentry box.  We've then added a pair of engineers, plus a couple of sentries and a guard dog.  This is a big kit, measuring 330 x 140 mm overall (210 mm for the ramp) and would make an excellent objective in your WWII games.  You could add a countdown factor for added excitement, stop the rocket before it launches in turn 6...!  It would of course look just as good as a terrain piece on any northern France tables.

Trench Railway Released!

Something for the WWI gamers now, as we've released a complete trench railway system along with a Simplex locomotive to run on it!

These railways were developed during the trench warfare period of WWI to allow the delivery of food, ammunition and construction materials to the front line, where the usual transport networks had been destroyed. These narrow gauge tracks created a connection to the standard gauge railways further back from the front line and proved extremely successful. As well as the UK, similar railways were used by Russia, France and Germany, with a variety of gauges in use from 600mm to 750mm (ours is 600mm).

Simplex were known as Motor Rail during the war and were one of several producers of locomotives and wagons to run on these new trench railways. We've done the early style of tractor with the open top, later versions had a covered roof over them and armoured side doors. We've also done a small handcart as well, which could be pushed along the rail in front of the locomotive with smaller items or wounded soldiers on it.

WWI
Trench Railway
SCN-NTR1 Simplex trench locomotive set (1 locomotive, 2 wagons, 1 handcart) £5.00
SCN-NTR2 Simplex trench locomotive (1) £1.00
SCN-NTR3 Wagons (2) £4.00
SCN-NTR4 Handcarts (2) £1.00
SCN-NTR5 Stowage set (5 pieces) £2.00
SCN-NTR6 Trench railway set (4 large straights, 2 small straights, 2 small curves, 2 large curves) £12.00
SCN-NTR7 Trench railway junctions (2) £5.00
SCN-NTR8 Trench railway, damaged sections (2) £2.50

Railway straight sections are 100mm long, curves are 90mm long, short straights/curves are 50mm long. Junctions are 125mm long and the damaged sections are 50mm.

And a couple of pics:

 

Next in the release queue is a bit of a surprise, so keep an eye out for that!
