Carrying on the theme...
14th Oct 2022

This week, we are rounding out the Russian field artillery with three larger calibre pieces, the 152mm m37 ML-20, the 152mm m43 D1 and the awesome 203mm – a must have piece for those who like monster guns!
We had a great time at Partizan last weekend. Thank to all of you who made the show so busy for us. Our focus is now shifting to the Fiasco show in Leeds at the end of the month. Please do get those collection orders in to us, especially if you want more than a couple of any single pack.
We’ll have all the new releases at the show and, if I get my brush into gear some previews of releases to come.

See you there!

New WW2 Russian Field guns
7th Oct 2022

 

Once more Friday has come around, so it’s time for the weekly Baccus updates. As usual, we start with the lucky order number, which this week is #22034.

The news regarding card payments is improving, as they seem to be functioning for all but those orders coming from the USA. If you are having difficulties with the system, please do get in touch. The tech-chap has now moved on to tapping on various bits of tubing and piping with a screwdriver and humming tunelessly. I am told that this is a sign of progress.

All of which brings us to this week’s new releases which continue the theme of recent works. The Russian forces now have a range of field guns to deploy in the form of a 76mm m36, 76mm m39, 122mm m37 and a 122mm m38.

Next week we’ll see the REALLY big guns!

The Baccus stand will once again be in its usual spot at the Partizan show and we look forward to seeing may of you there. This marks the first of a series of five shows over the next eight weeks which is a pretty brutal schedule for us. As always, please get any collect orders in to us nice and early. We will only have limited time to replace stock, so it makes sense to let us know what you want in advance.

Finally, for those of you who think that we’ve completely abandoned anything new except World War 2, we’ve got some lovely models coming down the line from preceding centuries and I hope to preview some of these in a couple of weeks’ time.

Airborne Museum In Arnhem

Last weekend’s demonstration of wargaming at the Airborne Museum in Arnhem was a definite success and showed the Lard Community at its best. Visitors to the museum were able to see the battle for the Oosterbeek perimeter and take part in games of Chain of Command run by a team of Lardies drawn from across Europe, allowing them to get up close and personal with how wargaming can tell the story of war and shine a light on some of the tactical and command challenges faced by the men who were there in 1944. This was the first time the museum had hosted an event like this, and for them to trust Toofatlardies to lead on it feels very special. We worked alongside the team from WSS Magazine to plan and deliver this and after all the hard work and painting of miniature window frames it was a superb thrill to take the Hartenstein to the Hartenstein and create an event that was educational, inspirational and respectful. A particular reward for the team was talking to local people who had come to the event and who recognized their own houses and who shared the story of what had happened there during the battle.




We also blew our annual entertainment budget in one weekend, but that’s another story.

We’d like to extend a massive thank you to everyone who helped us deliver this event, from 3D printed building through to acting as an ambassador on the day. Some of the games will be seen at upcoming shows.

More WW2 Russians and a couple of updates
30th Sep 2022

The first business of the day is this week’s Magic Number - #21965.  As usual we do have a couple of orders prior to this that didn’t quite make the cut, so don’t panic if you have an earlier number and no notification of dispatch.  It will all be corrected next week.

Before we get on to this week’s new releases, it’s time for an update on card payments on the Baccus site.  We can now accept all UK based card payments with no problems.  However, there still seems to be an issue with overseas payments via this method.   The tech chap has resorted to poking a sharpened stick into the site gubbins, stirring it around a bit and whistling tunelessly through his teeth.  I am told that will soon sort things, and I will give more updates as they come through.  In the meantime, if anyone outside of the UK is having difficulties and does not have access to a Paypal account, please email us at [email protected] and we will try and get things moving for you.

Last week’s release of our WW2 Russian infantry caused quite a bit of excitement judging from the correspondence and orders.  For those of you who are curious, yes, we do intend to do a full range, including all the Lend-lease kit and it will include aircraft at some stage.

For the meantime, this week’s new codes are all Anti-Tank guns:

 

You can find all the details here and more artillery to come next week!

We are now well and truly into the hectic UK Autumn show season which means that there will be an almost constant plea from me to get any orders for collection a forthcoming shows into us nice and early.   The next show on the horizon is Partizan at Newark on the 9th October, followed just a couple of weeks after by Fiasco in Leeds.    Remember that the maximum number of single code packs that we take a show is four, and most are less than that.  Rolling up asking for ten packs of French line infantry is just setting yourself up for disappointment!
