For those of us in Blighty!
Pleased to see Dave has had a restock as these figs were becoming difficult to source here in UK…especially as Dave DOES NOT CHARGE POSTAGE IF ORDER EXCEEDS A TENNER! Basically, buy two packs and get 'em post free.

WARGAMES RULES SPECIAL - UP TO A THIRD OFF

Every week a new set of rules appears (mostly from us!!), yet most doggedly stay in print and we justify our claim of having the world's largest selection of rules by keeping them all in stock as much as we can.

As we have no room to add to the 18 metres of shelving full of rules we have already (and that doesn't count our own), we thought that we'd have a bit of a clear out.

So to encourage you and your wargames club to experiment with some of the older, less-well-known sets, we've come up with a complicated but money-saving offer.

Buy 5 or more wargames rules or supplements and get 2.5% off the whole amount per set - so buy 10 sets, and get 25% discount off your order.

Postage will be on the amount you spend, so you could save even more.

CONDITIONS

There is a maximum discount of 30% per order.

Only one copy of each item allowed per order.

Doesn't include rules not currently in the shop as of June 6th (Shako, Kriegkunst, etc). We will not backorder out-of-stock items.

You must have rules from more than two publishers (i.e., Warhammer and Partizan Press).

OFFER ENDS JUNE 15th to give you time to get orders from your club.
