Welll I have some good news and some bad news about Battlegroup Kursk.

The good news is… Its printing now!

The bad news is, due to a few 'hitches' the delivery dates for the books is now 17th October 2012.

Warwick is trying his hardest to get them to shift things along but we can only wait and see… If it comes sooner I will let ya all know!

So as way of tiding you over till then, I managed to get some of the final page proofs from Warwick to show you…

Dont mind the odd text… That happened when I converted the PDFs to JPEGs!

Glad to hear it is at least printing. Better to be late and get it done right than to do it fast and half baked.

Piers,
Will the Normandy book be redone at some point?

Dennis,

We are working on Battlegroup Normandy at present.

Just starting playtests on the 13 lists and designing the historical scenarios.

Should be ready April 2013…

I like the look of the "hobby tips" section

Piers, the book looks just great…is there some place where I can find out a little about the rules or are things kind of 'Top Secret' until they're out.

The rules are in many ways like Kampfgruppe Normandy, so if you want to go to The Guild and look at all the reviews and battle reports of that (not to mention the battle reports Piers has been doing for BGK) then you will get a good sense of what is coming.

Yup… As Naz says , over on The Guild we have alot of AARs and reports that go into the mechanics. We have dedicated part of the forum to the game.

It is similar to KGN, but at the same time it has many differences.

Also my blog and Warwick Kinradess blog have more details.

There are also a few AARs posted on TMP too…

Looking forward to seeing how this works out. It is great time to be playing this period of history between what is available in a multitude of sizes/scales and the number of just plain good rule systems out there. The WW II gamer is soiled for choice.

I don't suppose that the rules will be available to purchase as a PDF, will they?

PiersBrand Supporting Member of TMP05 Oct 2012 4:08 a.m. PST

Nope, no PDF at present.
