NZGT

Last weekend was the 2008 Late War NZGT, and we’ve got results as well as a few comments from a few of the staff talking about their experiences. 

We’ve got five new spotlights as well, The IS-2 Tankovy Battalion box, the SU 57 Assault Gun, a 15cm sIG33 Infantry gun, and the much awaited the Jadgpanther! You can also have a look at the new massive Devastating Bombardment Template!

Finally, James spiced up a few of the new river sections from Battlefield in a Box: River set using some Gale Force Nine Basing Kits.
