Combat Storm Free Download Sandbag Terrain

Combat Storm Banner Small

Last August we shared information on a new FREE building pack for Combat Storm. We even shared a video tutorial, crafted by Dave Reiter, to show you how to construct the buildings in the pack.

Today I received another e-mail from Dave Reiter, one of the geniuses at Strategy Wave Studios that makes the game, about a new FREE download. You heard that correctly. Combat Storm players and would be players can download the free building pack. This pack lets you make sandbags perfect for any location.

Before you download the building pack be sure you have Adobe Acrobat Reader as the pack is a pdf file. You can get Acrobat Reader, for FREE, at Adobe Acrobat Reader. I have version 8.1.1 for Mac OS X Leopard and the building pack shows perfectly!

According to Dave

I just wanted to let you and your site know that we’ve released another free papercraft terrain pack on our website. We decided to make sandbags, this time around, due to popular demand.  Also, the Official Combat Storm Online Store is back up and running with a new storefront. We currently have some really nice Green and Tan Army Tanks in stock and are waiting to receive some new Plastic Army Men in the near future.  Shipping is flat rate ($5 for U.S, $6 for International) and each additional item is $0.99.

The new Tanks are in limited supply. Check out the product pages below to
orders yours before they’re all sold out:

World War I and WWII Naval Miniatures Auction

 Our newest member, Garlieston, is a retiring wargamer from the United Kingdom.  Recently he contacted me to see if I could help him out.  He is selling off a lot of his gaming material, supplies, and items including models and board games.  Normally I’d politely decline because the CWF Game Cast is a New England focused gaming blog.  But, we are a global village and I’m always happy to help someone out across the pond.

Garlieston is auctioning his items over at Ebid.net, which is like eBay but it costs less for sellers.  You can find his auctions at Garlieston’s wargaming auctions where he has a lot of cool things for sale.

I asked him if he’d be kind enough to share some information on the items he’s selling.  Below you will find what he said.

I’m auctioning a very extensive range of WWI and WWII naval models, rules 
and a boardgame, Dreadnought, because I’m retiring from mainstream wargaming 
and its a shame to see these models unused.

The two auctions can be found at E-Bid.net at the following address:

http://uk.ten.ebid.net/  or www.ebid.net 

The auctions are being held under the Toys and Hobbies section.

Briefly, the following items are being auctioned:-

WWI collection………………
136 metal alloy 1/3000 scale ship models (manufactured by Navwar)
General Quarters Wargames Rules Part 2 (two new copies)
SPI boardgame ‘Dreadnought: Surface Combat in the Battleship Era, 1906 to 45’

WWII collection…………………
227 metal alloy 1/3000 scale ship models        (manufactured by Navwar)
79 1/300 scale metal alloy scale model aircraft (manufactured by Navwar)
General Quarters Wargames Rules part 1 (2 copies)
Campaign scenarios for: Convoy PQ18, Convoy JW55B, North Sea Convoy June 1941

And all for £75 each whch is very reasonable for the quantity and quality of 
the models being auctioned, the rules, professionally researched scenarios and 
the boardgame.

Anyone buying these items will be able to instantly run a very exciting naval 
wargame – especially Convoy PQ18 which was the pivotal Arctic convoy battle of 
WWII.

The naval miniatures in particular, we think, will be of interest to fans of War at Sea.  Please head over to Ebid.net and check out his auctions.  I’m sure you’ll find something very useful.

Hi There,
We have three new releases this newsletter for the Space Marines and Orks, while here at Forge World we are stepping into high gear in preparation for Christmas. But before we get to the cool new models, I`d like to say a big thanks to everybody at Games Day Italy for making it such a great show! We had a really fantastic time and it was great to meet many Italian hobbyists for the first time.

Thanks
Alan Bligh

BG Weird War II: The Elder Gods Awaken!

The Battleground Weird War II battle reports with The Elder Gods Awaken!  This time we share the battle report in its entirety with permission from batrep author, and BG Weird War 2 creator, Brian Cottrell.  Brian wears many hats and is also half of the genius behind What The?! Miniatures.

We hope you enjoy the below battle report.  You can always find lots of great BG Weird War II weirdness at the official Battleground Weird War II website.  If you have your own BGWW2 battle reports you can share them here or on the official forum.

 

The Elder Gods Awaken!

We played a game last weekend were a group of cultists had taken over a church that had hidden in it a relic that could be used to control the masses.  The local military commander was tipped off by a phone call from a nun from the church just before the phone went dead.  The Major mustered what men he had available and they headed off to save the captives and neutralize this threat.
