Battlefront has released its Bagration German book.  I was interested and how, or even if, the Battlefront team could make a unique new book when so much of the standard German units seem already accounted for.  Though I was already quite content with the new book as is, it’s normally the Command Cards that take a new force book to the next level.  That is the case here as I think these new Bagration German Command Cards take an already excellent book product and knocked it out of the park with these new command cards.

I have been a fan of Academy Games well before I met Uwe Eickert, their CEO from playing their series. I got to meet Uwe at Connections 2019 and interviewed him for a podcast and I was impressed with his approach as a game developer. While Academy games does not have dozens of titles, every game in their inventory is a masterpiece that all gamers will enjoy. Their game which covers the space race, is yet another hit in their catalog.

Today we have a special podcast for you. We sit down with Jon Russell from Warlord Games and we ask him all about the new Epic Battles for Black Powder.

Recently sent me some of their brand-new and I got around to finishing them just in time to make sure that they land on your holiday wish list. I usually do not collect too much terrain in 15mm however after recently getting a mat that looks like a torn-up battlefield, I decided to take this project on. Past buildings from Battlefront were usually one to three-story affairs made of resin and came pre-painted, these plastic kits are huge and very well done with five floors to expand your table upwards.

In this article we’re going to focus on infantry for Battlegroup NorthAG by the Plastic Soldier Company. How should we paint and base them?

Painting British

Let’s start out with British infantry, as their camo pattern uniform is a bit more complicated. For the models, I’m using the Plastic Soldier Company 10mm Ultracast, mechanized infantry box.

Starting with a base coat, I primed my British black. Starting with Helmets 888  as the initial coat of Vallejo, followed by a dry brush of 886 Green Grey Vallejo.

Glenn, Tyler and Tom talk about what they’ve been up to since the kickstarter for “Raise the Black” Ended. Tom and Glenn plan their next bet to motivate each other to keep painting. And Tyler and Glenn help walk us through the next two scenarios in their strategy tutorial series (Control the Field and Take and Hold).

Well, the is a wrap and the pledge manager is on the horizon (possibly even available, by the time you’re reading this) and it’s time to start thinking about what boxes you’d like to add to that Admiral pledge.
