Exactly what it says above! Blitzkrieg Commander III At The Printer's. Take care Andy

Andy are there any major changes in this version, or is that top secret at the moment?

Next question. Cold War Commander is coming when? :)

From the aforelinked link: "Scale" – established at "1 base = 1 platoon": this is important to remember to understand some of the other tweaks Close assault (steamlined) Off-table support (streamlined) Terrain (movement and cover) revamped Basic actions now set out in defined "actions" Recce actions (streamlined) Engineering actions (steamlined) Unit abilities including profiles revamped Exceptions and special rules extracted into formal "special abilities" for units If you know and love BkCII, then BkCIII should hopefully feel familiar but fresh. Count me among the know and love BKCII (and I), and will definiteley pick up III ^,^

Are there any major changes in this version, or is that top secret at the moment? We'll be putting together a list once we've got the finalised delivery dates from the printers. The chap who helped with the revision just posted this overview on our Forum: "Scale" – established at "1 base = 1 platoon": this is important to remember to understand some of the other tweaks Close assault (steamlined) Off-table support (streamlined) Terrain (movement and cover) revamped Basic actions now set out in defined "actions" Recce actions (streamlined) Engineering actions (steamlined) Unit abilities including profiles revamped Exceptions and special rules extracted into formal "special abilities" for units Cold War Commander is coming when? At this point, no idea. I won't be starting to look at until the summer sometime and we'll update everyone around that time.

Oops, MiniMo beat me to it!
Texas Jack	27 Mar 2017 9:36 a.m. PST
Well thanks to MiniMo and you too Leon!

Is there a US distributor for these?
Leon Pendraken	27 Mar 2017 12:06 p.m. PST
It's not definite, but I'd expect Warstore would be the most likely option as they sell our other stuff.
