Coming up in March Battlefront will release the v4 update to the . Great War, of course, refers to WWI. For those living through the times, they knew it as the Great War.

I’m excited to share with you some of the details about this new book and Battlefront’s plans. The update is absolutely huge, in size and treatment. It features new army lists, new figures, new units types for existing armies, new army boxes, a v4 update to the rules and a whole lot more.  It adds up to a wonderful well crafted set of rules that offer a very fun time.

I hope you have seen the article on NDNGs narrative Team Yankee event we are holding at Cold Wars. This article is meant to get you thinking about what lists you may want to bring to the event.

First of all, as long as you keep to the same side, you can change your lists each game, how many events let you do that? Actually, changing lists is key to the event and I hope I can spell this out to you here.

I know many of you felt 55 points is too low for an event. Well, this would be true if it wasn’t for the fact that for each game you will be teamed up with a partner. This partner will be based on what lists and players will work well together during each round, and your commanders (Chris Jackson is SACEUR and Tim Hladon will be the GSFG commander) will pick teams each round.

Both commanders are great guys so if you wanted to play with a particular partner, I am sure they honor your requests. By picking partners at the event we can have newer players learn from some of the old sweats.

I walked out of the movie theater about three hours ago, and my heart is still thumping. No, it wasn’t Scarlett Johansson or some adventure flick and it wasn’t the next Fast and Furious installment. It was film taken over 100 years ago, of the men who served in the Great War. This blog features a lot of posts about historical wargaming from different eras and genres, and they are read and shared.

But something we don’t write much about is about the real people we are recreating on our tabletops. This isn’t a recount of some historical battle or a game I played, or a system tried out. Rather it will be my attempt to put into words, the images and stories I experienced at the picture show.

The boys are back from break and they look at how to play the new Experimental Missions for Flames of War, How to deal with Spam and look at upcoming events.

As gamers from across the country and around the world settled on Bowie, Maryland last month, there was a buzz in the air. The numbers showing up seemed to be greater than ever and this was to be confirmed by the organizers: 190 registered players. This was by far the greatest Winter Offensive held by (MMP).

Winter Offensive is the annual gaming tournament held every year by the publishers of Advanced Squad Leader (ASL).

It is an open format tournament that features many games into the ubiquitous ASL. Many of these cover various battles of the US Civil War. But there is no doubting the fact that the big draw for Winter Offensive is ASL.

With 2019 now upon us, I thought I would write up an article on what my resolutions are. These will focus on my personal goals as well as some I plan to make to grow my local gaming community.

Run Demo Games at my Local Gaming Store

Back when we had a gaming store in Culpeper, Virginia, two of my buds and myself would run demo games of Flames of War using the old V3 Tank Ace rules. It was a simple way to introduce someone into the game with the basic set of rules, and who doesn’t love tank duels?

Gettysburg is perhaps the iconic battle in American history and has spawned dozens of games in many different formats which enable gamers to re-fight the pivotal Civil War battle.

One of the first games I ever owned was the 1977 Avalon-Hill Gettysburg, a game in which I enjoyed playing for years. The market is full of games that recreate the battle, from small quick to play games to multi-map monster games with thousands of counters.

So, whatever scale you desire to play the battle in you will have no problem finding the title that best suits your interest. While many of the classic games came out decades ago, companies are still producing new games with new mechanics to bring the battle to life on your table.

You are in for a treat with the return of Sean Sarah to NDNG. We catch up with Sean and talk about a ton of different games and why we still love Flames of War. Minis, board and video games are some of the topics we cover.

Setting up a tournament can be challenging as winning a competition. After painting his first FOW army and , NDNG’s Paolo Paglianti decided to set up a FOW competition in his own city.

So, the old way we found out about events is over, I assume smoke signals and town criers were not cutting it, so the folks from Battlefront created the Battlefront Events website which is located This new site is a great one-stop shop for all of your events needs.
