Perry Miniatures have updated their American Civil War army deals page. No specifics on the update.

JR Miniatures have updated their website to indicate that they are removing their ACW Church and Southern Mansion terrain pieces to rework the roof master for the terrain pieces.

Baccus have announced that they have released their Polemos American Civil War rules and starter sets.

From their website:

I’ve been telling people for months now that the Polemos ACW rules will be available by the middle of July and true to my word, I’m delighted to be able to say that they are indeed now available for purchase, bang on schedule.

As ever, these have been the result of a lot of people’s effort and input and I’d like to thank all those involved. The end result is a wonderful set of rules that will give a great deal of enjoyment to ACW players all over the world.

As with all the Polemos systems the ACW rules are fully supported by Baccus ranges with custom designed army and booster packs and a Boxed Starter Set with all you need to get going in what is a classic wargaming period. If you thought the ACW was boring and all about grey and blue then perhaps its time to have another look.

Baccus have announced that their Polemos ACW rules are off to the printers and that they are taking pre-orders.

From their website:

For many of you out there, the long wait will shortly be over. The Polemos ACW rules are now at the printers and I expect to be able to supply them some time in the middle of the month. To that end. I am very pleased to announce that they are now available for pre-order.

This is a pre-order only. Credit cards will not be charged, nor will PayPal invoice be issued until the rules are ready to be sent out to you.

If you are wondering what all the fuss is about or want to get flavour of the rules, I’ve just posted information about the rules in the Polemos section. It looks very much like the unofficial launch of these rules will be on the Baccus Open Day on July 19th. There is still a place available for the morning session, so if you want to come along, please get in contact asap.

Staying with things 19th Century, there are some new releases for the Franco Prussian Wars. The Prussians now get a 12 pdr smoothbore, the Bavarians a Zoller smoothbore and the French a 4 pdr.

So what of new projects, you ask? On the figures side, the sculpting of the ancient Goths nears completion and work is well underway on the Mahdi’s forces for the Colonial Sudanese range. Here’s a couple of piccies to show you what to expect.

On the rules front, I am putting the finishing touches to the next version of the Command Horizon SF rules which should be available for download sometime next week. Immediately after that, work starts in earnest on the layout of the much-anticipated Polemos ACW rules which I hope to have in print by July. Somewhere in all of this I hope to slip in another podcast and the occasional hour or two of sleep…
