New WWII Vehicles Released!

With BKC-III away at the printers we've found a few spare moments to get some more releases sorted out, so we've got a couple of WWII vehicles ready for you now.

First up is a Sherman for the Soviet range!  After the UK, the Soviets were the biggest users of Sherman tanks through the lend-lease program, and they took over 2000 of this M4A2 version with the 76mm gun.  As we've been giving so much attention to the Shermans recently it made sense to sneak this one in as well.

Our other release here is the oft-requested M11/39 for the Italians.  This one was moulded a short while ago but we'd not managed to get it photo'd up and released properly.

WWII
Soviet
SV79    Sherman M4A2, early 76mm turret  £3.00

Italian
ITA26    M11/39 tank    £2.80

And the pics:

New 10mm Scenery Released!

First up we've got some MDF fencing, in both regular and snakerail versions.  We've been doing some tests with resin fencing for some time now but at this scale it can be quite fragile, so while we continue with that we thought we'd release some MDF ones as well.  These packs contain 10 lengths of fence, each 80mm long and 7/8mm high, with the regular fencing coming with an integral base included as well.  We've included a shot of some ACW figures with them to give an indication of size.

Next up is some more craters for the 20th C. crowd.  The smaller ones released last month have proved extremely popular, so we've added these larger sizes as well, ranging from 40mm-55mm in width.  There's a pic of them with a tank to give an indication of size.

And finally we've got some broken stone walls!  We've already added irregular versions of our hedges, so it made sense to add some broken/breached stone walls to the range as well.  As with the other walls/hedges packs, there are 4 sections per pack (2 of each type) with each section being 80mm long.

Scenery
Walls & Hedges
SCN-WLH16    4 x Stone wall broken sections, to make 320mm of walls.    £3.00

Generic
SCN-GEN2    Shell craters x 8, sizes range from 40mm-55mmm    £4.00

MDF Products
SCN-MDF1    Wooden fencing x 10 lengths   £3.00
SCN-MDF2    Snake rail fencing x 10 lengths   £3.00

And the pics:

SCN-WLH16 - Broken stone walls

SCN-GEN2 - Large shell craters

SCN-MDF1 - Wooden fencing

SCN-MDF2 - Snake rail fencing

It's been a long time coming, but it's finally here!

Blitzkrieg Commander is one of the most popular WWII rulesets of the past decade with over 5000 copies sold and we're delighted to announce that the highly anticipated 3rd Edition is now available for pre-order!  We'll officially be launching BKC-III at the Salute show on 22nd April, but if you won’t be attending the show you can pre-order your copy in advance, ready to ship out on Monday 24th.  And as an added bonus, we've got a special discounted launch price of £20! (RRP £25)  This launch offer will only be available until Sat 29th April, so head over and grab your copy now: http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Rules-c37/Blitzkrieg-Commander-III-sc362/

Blitzkrieg Commander III
- Suitable for any scale miniatures, from 2mm right up to 28mm.
- Simple command system that emphasises the fog of war.
- Effective mechanism for casualty resolution.
- Flexible figure ratio meaning one base represents a platoon.
- Minimal setup time, simply assemble your forces and play.
- Contains 49 army lists covering all nations and theatres.
- Includes 15 scenarios.
- Suitable for solo, two player or multi-player games.
- No supplements, everything you need to play WWII games in one book.
- Quick Reference Sheet included.

For the existing BKC gamers, you'll probably want to know what's changed in BKC-III?

Generally, this 3rd Edition remains true to the BKC you're familiar with, but with a bit of a refresh on the text.  All of the core elements remain in the game and everything should run much the way it always has.  Things that you may find work slightly differently include:

Scale - Established at '1 base = 1 platoon'
Terrain (movement, visibility and cover) - Revamped and simplified in places.
Basic Actions - Now set out in defined actions list.
Unit Abilities (including profiles) - Revamped.
Command Units - Revamped and can now fight and be knocked out like other units.
Close Assault - Streamlined.
Off-table Support - Streamlined.
Engineering - Streamlined and moved to command phase.
Recce Actions - Streamlined.
Exceptions & Special Rules - Extracted into formal 'special abilities' for units.
Army Lists - Revamped and increased.

If you know and love Blitzkrieg Commander already then BKC-III should hopefully feel familiar but fresh to you.  For those new to these rules, grab yourself a copy and see what everyone is talking about!

To pre-order yourself a copy, you can either buy directly through our website here: http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Rules-c37/Blitzkrieg-Commander-III-sc362/ or by contacting us using the Contact form on our website: http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Contact.aspx.  For anyone attending Salute, you can also pre-order a copy to collect on the day by contacting us through that same Contact Us method.

For those who prefer their rules in a digital format, BKC-III will also be launched as a pdf download on Wargame Vault on the same day as Salute, so Sat 22nd April.  We'll also have a range of 1000pt Starter armies ready for the launch, more details on those coming soon.
