Announcement from Osprey:

Quote
We are proud to announce our upcoming title, The Silver Bayonet: A Wargame of Napoleonic Gothic Horror from the award-winning creator of Frostgrave, Joseph A. McCullough, available this coming October.
As the wars of Napoleon ravage Europe, chaos and fear reign and the darkness that once clung to the shadows has been emboldened. Supernatural creatures – vampires, werewolves, ghouls, and worse - take advantage of the havoc, striking out at isolated farms, villages, and even military units.
Riflemen, swordsmen, and engineers fight side-by-side with mystics, occultists, and even those few supernatural creatures that can be controlled or reasoned with enough to make common cause. The game can be played solo, co-operatively, or competitively, with players progressing through a series of interlinked adventures with their soldiers gaining experience and suffering grievous wounds, and their units triumphing… or falling in the face of the shadows.
It is a game of action and adventure, where musket and sabre meet tooth and claw.

Getting excited & making jokes about dropping Nepalm on little Asian Children in a Viet' village doesn't make it ok just because 'it's wargaming & not real'. You wanker scum need to look again at the real photographic horror of such chemical weapons. Seriously Disgusting mind set amongst some you.

I love Naploleonics but the sheer  number of troops has always kept me away. Now is the time!  ;)

North Star have been playing around with some of the new figures for Silver Bayonet. I have been attempting to attach one of the photos but I don't think it's taken! If all else fails check out their FB page. Love the Spanish Guerrillas taking on Werewolves.

Well done. Obviously better IT skills than myself. ;D I will definitely be adding those Spaniards to my existing skirmish forces. I also had the latest Osprey newsletter waiting for me this morning, and they have 'officially' announced Silver Bayonet for October.

I hope that they do an early sneak peak at warband creation, like they did for Star Grave. I'm tempted to get converting right away, but I'm concerned I'll make some unplayable figures  ;)

15 Spanish Guerrillas and Militia pictured on North Stars FB page, awaiting the release of Silver Bayonet. One day I'll work out how to transfer these photos to the Forum  ???

I'm eagerly anticipating this game :)

Hi Guys
Bit of a progress report for you.
North Star will be doing a small range of metal figures for this game. Joe is calling the armies/ warbands Units in this game, and they are made up of specific characters with their own skills. We are making a Unit for each nation, French, Spanish and British to begin with. I've included some pictures here of the first figures we have ready. The Spanish are a complete Unit, the others we've got in mould making right now.
We'll also do some Silver Bayonet monsters. There's no need to remake were-wolves when we already have them, but Napoleonic Zombies, the curious Hobgoblins etc we will make.
It's looking very exciting, it's as much a clue gathering game as a tabletop skirmish from what I've read (not playtested this one).
Cheers
Nick

Pictures go Spanish, French, British.
