Another is in the books. The 2019 installment was a blast and much different than the others I have attended. The new location and running a tournament for a new game made the experience of this year’s event one I will think about for a long time. It also marked the biggest collection of the NDNG staff under one roof.
The crew is live at Historicon 2019! We talk about Blood and Plunder and the Team Yankee tournaments… and and old friend Luke Melia from my WWPD days pops in.

Find the with Bolt Action Korea authors Steve Smith and Jon Russel, from the NOVA Open 2018 .
Long known as the “Forgotten War” the Korean conflict holds a unique place in history. It was never officially a war and to this day it has not officially ended.

The movie Saving Private Ryan featured a group of US Rangers and Paratroopers working together to defend a bridge right after the invasion of Normandy. Now places the same forces at your command in their new D-Day book.
You will notice that like most V4 lists, these forces are focused more on the actual OOB of these units in 1944. This is due to the fact that if you wanted to play paratroopers in the past, you had to hope that they had the right support features you needed.
