Flames Of War and Battlefront Miniatures Newsletter

Welcome to the Flames Of War and Battlefront Miniatures Newsletter.

NZGT

Last weekend was the 2008 Late War NZGT, and we’ve got results as well as a few comments from a few of the staff talking about their experiences.

We’ve got five new spotlights as well, The IS-2 Tankovy Battalion box, the SU 57 Assault Gun, a 15cm sIG33 Infantry gun, and the much awaited the Jadgpanther! You can also have a look at the new massive Devastating Bombardment Template!

Finally, James spiced up a few of the new river sections from Battlefield in a Box: River set using some Gale Force Nine Basing Kits.
