Gentlemen, start your engines (and check your air filters)… it's time to fight in the desert.

Today we are pleased to announce the arrival of the new Bolt Action starter box; A Gentleman's War.

A Gentleman's War focuses on the action fought across the parched, dusty campaign in the Western Desert during World War II. This Bolt Action starter set pits the forces of the British 8th Army (more commonly known as The Desert Rats) against their Axis foes, the German Deutsche Afrika Korps. Although the fighting in this theatre was intense it tended to lack the fanaticism and atrocities seen in other theatres of the war and became known as a gentleman's war.
This new starter box includes everything a new player needs to play a game of Bolt Action in the desert. It's also a great (and economical) way for an existing player to move into the desert theater, and get a few order dice and handy paperback rulebook as a bonus.

It's time to open the Ostfront!
23rd Sep 2022

It’s back to new releases this week, but before we get into this, there are some ‘housekeeping’ issues to deal with. Firstly, this week we have reached order number #21900.

We are currently having some problems with the Baccus shopping cart, which means that some of you trying to place orders using a credit or debit card have not been able to complete the transaction. Work is going on behind the scenes to get this fixed, so please bear with us. The cart is working perfectly if you use Paypal, and for the moment we would suggest that you use that means of payment if possible. Alternatively we can take card orders over the phone during office hours. I will post an update as soon as we get back to normal.

With that out of the way, it’s time for this week’s new releases. It’s time to visit the Ostfront! Our Russian infantry and support weapons are now all available.
As well as the usual infantry, and support weapons, we have some codes specific to the Russian army in the shape of dedicated SMG armed figures and some fearsome armoured Combat Engineers.

As is usual for us, we’ve packaged these together in an all-arms company pack.
Coming behind these will be artillery and vehicles, and this range will form a central part of our new releases for the Autumn season.
I’ll finish today by pointing out that the Partizan show in Newark is now just two weeks away, so if you want to place an order for collection, now would be a very good time!

Gamers who follow us on social media will have seen how busy we are preparing for our trip to Arnhem next week, but this isn't a battlefield challenge or a jolly trip to sample the local beer. Our expedition sees us introduce wargaming to the visitors to the Airborne Museum at the Hartenstein Hotel in Oosterbeek for the very first time.

Why not catch up on the preparations with Lard Island News HERE

This week we are continuing the trend of showing some previews of bits to be released in the next few weeks, but before that, there is the small matter of the weekly order update. This week, we have reached order #21800 which means that we’ve processed 127 orders this week.

On top of this, work has been going on behind the scenes getting the Autumn released prepared and ready to go. This week, here is a glimpse of the first of the Russian artillery, in the form of a group of 45mm, 57mm and 76mm AT guns and crew.

Of course, all of these guns would not be necessary if there were no targets for them to shoot at. Once of the more obvious ‘missing items’ in our German range is the Tiger tank – surely the most iconic German AFV of them all. Well, we will shortly be rectifying this, but until we get the final mould made, here’s a picture of what to expect.

Finally for today, many thanks to all of you who kept us so busy at the Newbury show. We had a great time and it’s was good to catch up with you all. Wargames shows are one of the great joys of our hobby and I think that we appreciate them more as a result of the recent enforced absence. The next event on the horizon is Partizan at Newark on 9th October. It's time to get those advance orders in to us, so that we can make sure you get exactly what you are after!
