Within the next few weeks the 3rd Edition rulebook of Warlord Games’ WWII platoon skirmish game will hit store shelves and mailboxes around the world. We here at No Dice No Glory were given the opportunity to peruse the upcoming rulebook and I personally scrolled straight to the Armies of Germany section to see what notable changes Warlord Games has in store for the Wehrmacht.

Back in August Warlord Games announced their newest campaign book, Case Blue, and made it available for pre-order. We here at No Dice No Glory were given the opportunity to preview the book and boy-howdie am I ecstatic to share with you what’s in it!
OVERVIEW: Case Blue is a 176 page supplement for Bolt Action written by Alexander Smith and Ryan Smith that covers the southern region of the Eastern Front from December 1941 to July 1943. Within it’s pages are 19 historical scenarios, 33 new units for 5 different factions, 34 new theater selectors for 6 different factions, and a new army list for any players interested in building a Slovak army.
In 2020 a group of veteran game designers kicked off the initial Zenobia contest. This is a competition that mentors historical game designers who are underrepresented within the gaming community. Contestants will have a chance to state why they feel that their community needs a voice within the design space.
The contest had over 150 entries and culminated 11 months later with eight semi-finalists and selected Tyranny of Blood as the initial winner of the contest. The Zenobia II contest is now live, and designers have until 14 October to enter a design proposal. This year’s contest opens the gaming aperture with the inclusion of miniatures game designs.

The next new army book for Team Yankee has made it to our bunker in West Virginia and it is called WWIII Warsaw Pact. This review is one of several that NoDiceNoGlory will be doing on this latest arrival Battlefront. This new book adds new units and upgrades to some of the existing Warsaw Pact formations. In addition, it upgrades your legacy formations to the same V2 standard we saw for the US, USSR, West Germany, and the British.

One great aspect of my “day job” is that I get to see some really innovative wargame designs and meet some very gifted designers. One such designer is Sebastian Bae, who I have written about before with his work in teaching wargaming at Georgetown University.
Sebastian invited me to see the games his students were working on this past December and I featured them right here on NDNG. One game which Sebastian designed is now available for presale and I wanted to make sure our community had the chance to pick this game up.

I was asked to do a comparison of the Flames of War V3 vs the new Bulge American Book.
When Battle Front announced the progression of new books for V4 FOW(Flames of War) some in our local gaming group where not happy that we would have to wait several years for the new Bulge Books. Both the American and German books provided many of our members some of their favorite FOW lists. But like good wine, sometimes it is worth the wait.
This marks the 100th podcast of the NDNG crew! The founders reunite to talk about the past and where we plan to go!
