COLIN - Beast of wars SALUTE 2014 Review

Not sure if everybody has seen this. Its worth watching all of it but check out from 29:36 for Skirmish Sangin it was nice to be interviewed, but more than a bit nerve wracking. Many thanks to Beast of War for taking the time to talk to us we really appreciate it and for Tim who sent them our way.

Taliban No.2

So eBob has sent us through the latest images of Taliban No.2 and doesn't he just look great. This time its the RPG guy. Instead of the usual kneeling or standing firing, this guy is bossing some lackey about and giving directions. All great ideas from eBob.

 I am really pleased with this figure and I hope you guys like it too.

At this point we are not sure when we will get these in production, all we can say is soon as we wait with baited breath for eBob to complete the final two.

Fingers crossed you'll be able to come and eyeball the greens if you attend SALUTE and visit our stand. We will also be running a participation game, so if you have any questions or would just like to come and play come and find us out.

Colin – Battlecry 2014

So last weekend the whole crew Craig, Chris and I, went on our inaugural 1300km round trip to Battlecry 2014 in Auckland's ASB centre.

We had tried to go the previous year but work got in the way. So it was only now we got to personally introduce the Auckland gaming scene to Skirmish Sangin.

Well to put it briefly we had a ball. This was a chance for us to test out our more mobile terrain; we are taking to SALUTE 2014 and a chance to introduce a whole new batch of wargamers to our skirmish goodness.

To say that we had a warm reception is an understatement. We sold out everything we took on the day and managed to play 4 great games. 

Unfortunately it was a hard day for the Taliban as they suffered 4 pretty decisive losses but as always winning or losing in Sangin is fun regardless with everyone entering into the spirit of the Narrative game.

We even had our first female player, way to go Eloise, you kicked Taliban butt. I would like to say how refreshing it was to see so many women players at Auckland, obviously still heavily out-numbered by the guys, the girls put up a great show, with many of them playing in tournaments.

So if your in NZ and want to go to a great wargames event ,keep your eyes out for Battlecry 2015, it worth the drive. We will be back.

I thought I would share some of the images below:

 The first 4 show the board from each edge.

Where we will be this Summer/Autumn

Well we are going to be at SALUTE 2014 this year.

Yes myself and Craig are making that ridiculous 33 hour flight  to visit you guys in blighty. We will have a store and be running a demo game. So you can come along and ask questions and pick up the latest releases. See below for an idea of SALUTE.


Not to be left out while Craig and I are at Salute, Chris is headed South to Christchurch for NATCON at Easter Weekend, and will be running a demo game over the weekend. Naturally he will have copies of the main rules, Despatches and our range of Kiwis with him.
