Warlord Games Press Release - New: Cromwell with burlap camo

From the Warlord Games Website

The latest resin Bolt Action vehicle to trundle out of the Warlord Games factory is this Cromwell cruiser tank covered in burlap camouflage. Converted from our existing Cromwell by Neil Burt of Troop of Shewe fame, it’ll add bags of character to your British forces.

Burlap camo was a type of netting which was very popular with Commonwealth armies during W.W.II. It differs from ordinary netting in that it has attached to it many strips of material which hang down looking like strips of tape.

AEG Press Release - AEG Announces Code of Conduct

From the AEG Website

At the beginning of this year we sat down and took stock of all things AEG – the company’s products, its player community, its events and much more.  We talked a lot about how we could be a better company and what, now that we have significant growth into new games, are the most important things we could do to be the best we can possibly be.  The top item for us was the community that has grown around our games.  We realized that, while engrossed in making these great gaming products, we hadn’t really addressed our responsibilities to our community regarding an enjoyable and respectful game play environment.

We also talked a LOT about FUN.  When it comes down to it, FUN is why we chose to make games for a living.  A big part of FUN is, of course, the people you play and interact with. AEG has been luckier than most companies in this regard.  In twenty years, we’ve had few major issues and have avoided a lot of the “land mines” the internet often lays for people and communities who interact remotely and sometimes anonymously.  AEG generally, and the Legend of the Five Rings community in particular, has a reputation for being the most loyal but, more importantly, the most friendly community of players and game representatives.
