On Military Matters is determined to empty the shelves to make room for new items. We're running TMP specials by discounting over 35 wargame rulesets (and a few books) by 20%. All in stock, some quantities limited. Pick up some great rules at a discounted price!

BLACK POWDER RULEBOOK 1700-1900. Full color rules for warfare 1700-1900. Seven scenarios and wargame battle reports, many color photos of painted miniatures. Written by the hugely talented Rick Priestly and Jervis Johnson. 1 vol, 184 pgs 2009, U.K., Warlord Games, new - hardcover

TMP Special: Orig. $48 USD - now $38 USD

Attention OMM Customers who previously ordered Black Powder! You are due a $10 USD OMM credit!

When Amazon initially sold BP for $20 USD, we wondered how... turns out it was an exchange rate accounting error made by the publisher's distributor. It's all sorted out now (Amazon's price is $32 USD), but we complained and worked out an arrangement by which we can pass along a 20% discount for this brand-new ruleset. We now sell Black Powder for $38 USD.

In addition, we feel that unfairly penalized our pre-paid customers who paid full price, so we're biting the bullet (er, cartridge) and offering all our customers who previously bought BP a $10 USD credit towards their next order. So, call or email us here at OMM by February 28, 2010, and we'll credit your next order for $10 USD. OMM may be a small operation, but we always aim to take care of our valued customers.
