From the Warlord Games Website
It’s that time of year again – mince pies have begun appearing (and
disappearing at an alarming rate!) around Warlord HQ, and the Elves of
the Mail Order department can be heard singing merry worksongs for miles
around (merry – yes, in tune and in time – no.)
On top of all of our usual fantastic year-round deals, the festive
season is a great opportunity for us to offer even more bundles – the
festive spirit must be getting to us! All our brilliant offers can be
found in the Deals section
of our webstore, designed to ensure that there are plenty of presents
under the tree – whether they’re bought for that certain special gamer
in your life, maybe for some of the yet-to-be-converted gamers at your
local club, or maybe even as a sneaky gift for yourself?!

Warlord Games Press Release - New: Bedford 30CWT Trucks
From the Warlord Games Website
Our latest resin Bolt Action vehciles bring troop and materiel carrying capacity to British and Commonwealth forces in theatres across the globe. As is often the way in war these would also fall into enemy hands and be fielded by their new owners in appropriate livery.
As the Second World War broke-out, the 30cwt truck was the standard British military truck. With a 1.5 tonne capacity, they were adapted and modified for use within a number of different roles – not only as carriers and tows, but a wide range of specialist modifications were produced in order to overcome all manner of battlefield conditions.
Warlord Games Press Release - New: Early Egyptian Spearmen & Retainer Axemen
From the Warlord Games Website
These figures can also be used for Egyptian armies of the First Intermediate period between the Old and Middle Kingdoms and the early part of the Second Intermediate period up to the native Egyptian 16th Dynasty of Upper Egypt.
Egyptian armies comprised equal proportions of archers and close combat fighters (axemen and spearmen), though they were organised into separate units. The archers did not engage in close combat but provided massed archery fire, softening the enemy lines, before the close fighters engaged the enemy in hand to hand fighting.

It
was pointed out to me exactly how flavorful today's Haruka card is.
Even the flavor text matches up with the ability! I like cards like this
that really bring out the context of the source material.
One of today's Japanese Vanguard cards is drawn by a rather well-known illustrator. Though I didn't recognize the art until I checked the name...

the Mami Chaos cards featured today just pushes all the right buttons
for me. I had a shock when I tried a search for images by the
illustrator on Google though; should have done so on Pixiv.

Scorecard Review – October 2014
October is one of my favorite months. Not only is it the month when Halloween is
but I usually get a lot of gaming is as well.
Unfortunately I was sick on Halloween and that made me late with this
review.
October
In October I played 30 games at 10 events for an average of 3
games per event. I was able to achieve
my goal of player an average of three games per event. I achieved that goal by playing games that
were lighter than I normally do.

Warlord Games Press Release - New: Waterloo Terrain from Sarissa Precision
From the Warlord Games Website
New in from the team that created our La Haye Sainte and Pegasus Bridge terrain pieces, we have a whole range of incredible laser-cut wooden sets. These kits represent the iconic buildings that formed pivotal strongpoints at the Battle of Waterloo – the chateau of Hougomont, Papelotte farm, La Belle Alliance inn and Plancenoit church as well as La Haye Sainte farmhouse (without all the miniatures included in our battle set of the same name), plus a windmill and a watermill.
While these kits are designed for the Napoleonic wars, they look at home on any European battlefield from the Pike and Shotte era through to World War II, especially as the larger sets are modular – Hougomont for example provides enough separate buildings to make a great game of Bolt Action!
