Warhammer Historical 50% Off Sale! KGN for £24!

[Gibby]

Holy cow! I never thought I'd see the day, but Warhammer Historical are having a sale! Perfect time to get what is a beautiful book for a more survivable price!

Head on over, I'm buying now, in between pinching myself!

[Anatoli]

Holy cow! Thanks for the heads up 

[Gibby]

No worries. It really is a great book and rules look great, so I took advantage of this very generous offer

[Anatoli]

I'm tempted to buy the Gladiator rules and maybe the Trafalgar one's myself. At just £10 it is a bargain  

Edit: Bought the Gladiator rules 

[Galland]

I just ordered KGN and all the Old West books

[Kane]

Perhaps a stupid question, but is Kampfgruppe normandy also playable in 28mm ?

[Galland]

I am not sure, but most games can be used for different scales, if its not too much of a difference. However, there is a dedicated 28mm WWII game; Rules of Engagement by Great Escape Games. I am very fond of those rules, and they have some nice supplements for expanding the rules and to vary the theatres.

[Kane]

Thanks Galland for the info

[Anatoli]

@Kane, from the info I've read and IIRC you can play KG at 15 and 28mm as well as the intended 20.

[Galland]

Thanks Galland for the info

Entirely my pleasure. I must also tell you that they have quite a lot of free PDFs on their site, along with other extra material. That and the fact that the guys at Great Escape Games are very open for suggestions and are willing to help out with creating lists for various units, vehicles and weapons not listed in the core games.

Bought Gladiator, too, and downloaded the freebies.

[NTM]

Took the opportunity to pick up KGN myself, been considering it for a while based on some good reviews but the price was putting me off.

[Axebreaker]

Gave in a bought a copy. I have WWII in 15mm and 28mm and now looks like I'll collect some 20mm now as well!

I'm looking to go cheap on this and I pretty much now where to go for the infantry, but admit I'm not sure about the vehicles. Any recommendations on affordable vehicles, but still nice?

P.S.Also picked up Waterloo, but that's another thing. I think I've bought more rule sets this year then any other.

[NTM]

Armourfast, Italeri Fast Assembly & Plastic Soldier Company provide good, cheap & basic plastic kits. In resin there are Frontline, Britannia and Raventhorpe ready to roll. Like you I have 15mm already but rather than build new forces in 20mm I'm going to use my existing 15mm vehicles and base up a few extra figures on single bases for the game, will work out much cheaper in the long run especially as I won't need to get any new scenery.

@NTM

I thought about doing that too in just using my 15mm stuff I already have which is fine if you play the same season, year and theatre all the time, but if you want to build multiple theatres, seasons and years then actually all the plastic stuff is cheaper and more readily available here in Germany. In Germany unless you live in large city all your 15mm and 28mm usually has to be purchased online, but just about every local hobby store carries WWII in 1/72 making it not only cheap, but convenient for the casual buys.
