We here at No Dice No Glory were fortunate enough to receive an advance copy of the upcoming army book for Bolt Action Third Edition — Armies of France. In this article I’ll be breaking down what’s included and I’ll be followed by Aaron who will go into more detail regarding the units that caught his eye.

With the release of the book Barbarossa by Battlefront for Flames of War, Early War is about to substantially expand. While the German invasion in 1941 stepped foot into the expansive territory of the Soviet Union, Barbarossa brings a wide range of new units, new armies lists and new scenarios to early war (EW). No matter if you play entirely casual, join in on game night at a store/club or play the tournament scene, Barbarossa packs lots of fun between its covers.

The Eastern Front opens up in Flames of War: the Early War period is becoming increasingly complete.
Battlefront is going all-in on Early War. Following the Blitzkrieg book, which we covered in this article, comes Barbarossa, the volume dedicated to the Eastern Front and the armies of Eastern Europe.
Barbarossa is another comprehensive army book, featuring several different nations. We have the Polish Army, which tried to defend its homeland against the combined invasion by Berlin and Moscow; the German Army, covering not only the invasion of Poland but also – as the book’s title suggests – Operation Barbarossa and the invasion of the Soviet Union. Then there are the Russian army and Finland defending their borders. Four nations, with a wealth of formations and support options, offering very different playstyles. In this article, we’ll take a first look at the book. Over the next few days, we’ll take a closer look on NDNG at each individual faction.

Hey Reader!
Now that our gaming group has their miniatures and we’re not using proxy miniatures anymore (though I’ll take a moment to thank all of the Rohan horsemen who served as Protoss warriors for us – thank you for answering the call!), we’re putting up battle reports, and as I was editing those, I reflected on what I love so much about the in-game play of this new game. I’ve done battle reports for several game systems, but this one felt unique and better, so I thought I’d share some of those thoughts with you.

Hey Reader!
Kreighton gave an excellent overview of the new Third Edition supplement for the Armies of the Commonwealth, and today we’re continuing in our review of the book by looking at some of the highlights for new units in the book.
The Commonwealth includes a whopping six army lists, so we’ll be breaking this into two posts. Today we’ll be looking at the Australian, Canadian, and East Africa Command forces, representing a lot of different theaters across the globe – a real cross-section of the war!

G’day mates! Late last week my copy of Armies of the British Commonwealth arrived in the mail. After hearing and reading great things from those that were fortunate enough to get an advanced copy I was excited to dig in myself. Let’s see what’s in it.

Before the liberation of Italy, there was the liberation of Sicily – Operation Husky. Sneaking in just ahead of the new Late-War Italian Campaign book for Flames of War, Battlefront has published a set of army lists that cover this campaign in Flames of War.
The release is a set of free PDFs published on their website, so this article won’t tell you anything you can’t already see for yourself. But I’m super excited about it, so I want to talk about it anyway.
Huge podcast! We have the multiple award winning designer Steve Jackson (Ogre, Munchkins, GURPS) as our guest. This show is so big I had to get Doug from the Lead Pursuit Podcast to lend a hand. We talk about the newest RPG installment from Steve, Ring of Fire.

The Italian Campaign has finally arrived in the 4th Edition of Flames of War with Battlefront’s announcement of Liberation of Italy. Paolo has given us an overview of the book and its historical context, and in this article, I will dive a bit deeper into the book’s British lists.
