e return to the show circuit soon, starting at the Hereward convention at the Cresset Centre in Peterborough on Sunday September 1st, followed by Colours at Newbury Racecourse less than a week later (Saturday 7th). As always, we’re more than happy to take orders for collection at either event – simply send us an email with what you require and pay on the day, or you can order and pay in advance via the website using the ‘Collect in Person’shipping option.

As our ranges have grown we’re no longer able to bring everything with us, so to help you plan here’s a list of what we’re intending to cram onto the stand at both events – if we aren’t bringing what you’re after, get in touch and we’ll see what we can do.

  • Celtos – Decent stock of all individual figures, small unit packs and medium and large army packs
  • Aeronef/Imperial Skies – All of the most popular fleet packs (the major powers) but not the smaller nations; a good selection of individual capital ships in blisters; rulebooks and accessories for Imperial Skies. Latest releases (German/French cruisers) also available individually.
  • Small Scale Scenery – the full range of all models
  • Spaceships – full range of fleet packs; no individual models except for new releases
  • Hammer’s Slammers – rulebooks and accessories; the full range of 15mm models; latest 6mm releases as individual models; a selection of 6mm and 15mm detachment packs.
  • 15mm SF – full range of 15mm vehicles, figure packs and accessories; no buildings
  • 6mm SF – full range of army packs, company packs and building packs; no individual models except infantry

  • Magpie Miniatures – individual figures and packs
  • Squadron Commander – full range of blisters packs; no individual models or starter packs

Coming to a Joy of Six near you...
24th Jun 2019

With just two weeks to go to the Big Show, the staff here are Baccus Megacorps Industries are slaving away to get some new goodies on the shelf for your delight and delectation. The first subject to occupy our attentions will be next set of releases for WW2 in the shape of British Airborne forces.

The aim is to have not only the individual code packs for the various and sundry vehicles

and equipment

but also we'll be bundling these together into large formation packs so you'll be able to assemble a complete Airborne Brigade.
We're also working as hard as we can to get the new Wars of Sun King ready for the show.

All of this means that we are going to be very busy over the next few days. We are still accepting orders for collection at the show and past experience tells us that we can sell out of some things very quickly indeed, so it’s worth getting those requests in to us ahead of the show. You can do so by using the Baccus site shopping cart or by email or phone.

Speaking of the Joy of Six, this year's show is shaping up to be cracker. We've got big games, little games, land games, sea games, games to watch, games to play and definitely, most definitely, games to look and go Oooooooooohhhhhh! There are more trade stands than ever, and Dr Mike has promised to put his transport problems behind him and stage his marvellous travelling painting clinic. We have attendees from all over the world coming to this year's show, so come and join them and see what it's all about!

On a final note, we have three places up for grabs on the Baccus Workshop tour starting at 10.00 on July 6th. If you want to grab one or more of these, get in touch as soon as possible. When they are gone, they are gone!

Our next show, the Joy of Six in Sheffield, is less than two weeks away. Jo6 is, as you might guess from the name, an event dedicated to the delights of 6mm gaming across all periods and genres. Organised by Baccus, the show takes place in Sheffield Hallam University and attracts over a dozen traders and features almost thirty micro-scale games.

Since this is a very specialised show, I don’t take all of our ranges with us – instead I have a smaller stand packed with everything 6mm, plus a couple of other related ranges (full list below).

As always, we’re happy to take orders in advance – you can either place an order and pay in full using the collect in person option on the website, or just drop us an email with a list and pay by cash or card on the day. You can advance order anything from any of our ranges, not just the 6mm ones.

Hammer’s Slammers – the full range of 6mm figures and vehicles, along with a good selection of detachment packs
6mm Sci-Fi – our full range of vehicles, figures, buildings and other items, including army packs, company packs and building packs
Squadron Commander – full range of models, starter packs and blister packs
Small Scale Scenery – full range of buildings and other items
10mm Buildings – some people prefer slightly bigger buildings, so I’ll also have our full range of 10mm resin buildings

As well as our recent 6mm releases, we are working on some more new items for the day – I’m hoping to be able to preview something soon.

Our next show is due in a couple of weeks. It’s our local event, Broadside, run by the ever-friendly Milton Hundred Wargames Club. Both Phil and I will be there in our customary spot. It’s held at the Swallows Leisure Centre in Sittingbourne from 10am to 4pm – a convenient ten minute walk from home (although a half-hour drive from Brigade HQ).

We’ll have decent stocks of most lines, including our newest releases. As always for any show, we welcome advance orders – you can either place an order and pay in advance using the collect in person option on the website, or just drop us an email with a list and pay on the day. You’ll see from the list below that we can’t bring everything, so if you would like anything from ranges that we’re not bringing with us then you’ll need to order it in advance.

Celtos – Decent stock of all individual figures, small unit packs and medium and large army packs
Aeronef/Imperial Skies – All of the most popular fleet packs (the major powers) but not the smaller nations; a good selection of individual capital ships in blisters; rulebooks and accessories for Imperial Skies.
Small Scale Scenery – the full range of all models
Spaceships – full range of fleet packs; no individual models except for new releases
Hammer’s Slammers – rulebooks and accessories; the full range of 15mm models; a selection of 6mm and 15mm detachment packs

The Joy Of Six 2019 Show News

As we are now approaching the end of the month of May, it’s that time of year when thoughts turn to THE Wargaming event of the year. I am, of course, talking about the incomparable Joy of Six 2019!

For reasons which remain obscure to even me, JOS continues to grow and the line-up for 2019 only goes to show this in action. We have more traders than ever before. This year attendees will be able to lighten their pockets and fill their bags at the following trade stands:

GM Boardgames
Heroics & Ros
Christopher Morris Books
Brigade Models
Leven Miniatures
GS Miniature Workshop
Warlord Games
Rapier Miniatures
Baccus 6mm
Wargame Emporium
Scotia Grendel
Commission miniatures
Timecast models

Then there are the games. Some of these have been two or three years in the planning and all will be spectacular. The range from the tiny, to the truly epic, and most will be there for you join in and play.

Doncaster Wargames Society:  Riot: The Brexit Yers
Nick Overland:  Target Saigon - 1975
Dan Hodgson:  Battle of Hoth
Wargames Collection Calculator:  Little Big Horn 1876
Robert Dunlop:    Gnila Lipa, 1914
Deeside Defenders:    Franco Prussian War, 1871
Chesterfield Open Gamers Society:  Qadesh 1275BC
South London Warlords:  Hell’s Highway, XXX Corp 1944
Luton Lancers:  GNW Siege of Viborg
Grantham Strategy and Gaming Club:  Chariot Racing
Per Broden, Nick Dorrel and Wyre Foresters:   Poltava 1709, Twilight of the Nordic Lions
Chris Sharp and the Northern Renegades:  Tough day at Bad Oeynhausen
MADGamers:   Allied intervention in the RCW, 1919
Peter Wilkes and the Legion of Blokes:  Battle of Kolin
GM Boardgames:  Gods of War: Lee
Warlord Games:   Cruel Seas
Commission figurines:   Napoleon 1813
Cold War Commanders:  D-Day
Tony Morphett and Mike McKnight:  Normandy 44
Milton Keynes Wargames Society Ancients:  Byzantines v Arabs
Kevan Baker:  Battle of Vimeiro
Wakefield and District Wargamers:  Cruel Seas
Mailed Fist:   WW2: Normandy ‘44

And with more requests for spaces coming in, I expect that list to grow before the show. In addition to all of this, we’ll have a Bring and Buy and that that maestro of small scale brushwork, Dr Mike will once again be opening his painting clinic to all-comers.
Add to all of this, cheap local parking, very convenient public transport links, nearby hotels and the best catering on the show circuit, there really is no excuse to miss this show.
Not into 6mm? Come along anyway if only to see why 6mm gamers are so passionate about what they do. You can get in for free on a ‘6mm Sceptic’ ticket and it will be a cheap day for you as there won’t be any discounted boxes of 28mm plastics or burnt mdf buildings for you spend money on.
The Joy of Six 2019 will be taking place on Sunday 7th July at Sheffield Hallam University, Howard Street
S1 1WB. Doors will open at 10.00 am and we’ll kick you all out at 4.00pm. We’ve a Facebook page which should keep you up to date and allow you to ask all sort of awkward questions HERE

Now if all that was not enough excitement, on the day prior to the show, (Saturday 6th July for those of you who haven’t been keeping up), we’ll be holding our annual Baccus Open Day. This is where the dark portals of Baccus Megacorp Industries are flung asunder and we offer tours around what has jokingly been called a ‘manufacturing facility’. It is a great way to see behind the scenes, to see how we do what we do and perhaps get some sneak previews of what is to come in the way of new releases in the coming months. Places are limited and bookings made, but we do have a few places left. If you want to come to the Open Day, please get in touch by phone, email or Messenger and we’ll do our best to fit you in.
