Today Assault Publishin announced that they're offering special X-mas gift sets containing a basic 15mm sci-fi army for PMC 2640 along with a .pdf of the rules packaged in... a metal can! I know Marcin has some weird ideas from time to time, but this is completely bonkers!
Today I’d like to announce an uncommon product: ‘Cannon Fodder’ PMC 2640 starters. They are intended as special gift sets for wargamers and are far from typical, hackneyed X-Mas “we’re going to clear our stock at the end of the year by giving a few percent discount” offers.

All packs include a basic PMC 2640 army and a code allowing you to download the PMC 2640 e-book (alternatively, it might be used to get a discount on the printed version or the printed/pdf bundle). But one thing makes them really differ from other similar products: all sets are packed in real metal cans with specially designed labels, which gives them a really extraordinary appearance!
As a rather uncommon product, they are planned to be prepared only occasionally in very limited amounts. If you are looking for a really original gift for your friend or yourself which would merge a fine ruleset, a nice starting army, and superb packaging, consider the Cannon Fodder packs! But better hurry, as there only a few cans were prepared!
You can get the Cannon Fodder cans only in the Assault Publishing on-line store!

Apart from the unusual packaging, the deal is solid - minis are made by Oddział Ósmy (figurines) and Rebel Minis (vehicles), and the rules are quite really nice, with some interesting additions (solo scenarios, "make your own mercenary company" campaigns, etc.).

I saw this, crazy.
I'm starting to get interested in Assault Publishing rules - time to try them out I think.

minis are made by Oddział Ósmy (figurines) and Rebel Minis (vehicles*),
* also figurines (e.g. Penal troops, Irregulars)
But still, a good idea for a gift.

I think my local candy store does this sort of packaging for gifts. lol
Still is a fun idea. Reminds me of a kickstarter I will let go unnamed that were planning to ship their deluxe set in ammo boxes. (those things are pretty cheap to get)

That is really cool. It would have been cooler if they included a USB drive like this one with the rules:

Of course that would have added to the cost...

Good idea, but how vague... it took me a dozen clicks to find out what scale these are... :(
-
Of course the first sentence of the opening post does mention these are 15mm.

So it does, but I saw the pretty picture and clicked through, reading is for traffic wardens... :P

Game night at the local club.
Gamer: "PMC 2640, baby. I'm gonna open a can of whoop-ass on you!"
