Painting The Exclusive Doctor Who Models For the Battlefront UK Open Day everyone who attends will be getting two Doctor Who figures, one in 32mm that is perfect for use with GF9's amazing board game Doctor Who: Time of the Daleks, and one in 15mm standing on a Chieftain tank. James Brown, whose work has graced many of Battlefront's books jumped at the opportunity to paint these great miniatures was also kind enough to write a reference on how he painted the miniatures to look as though they had just stepped out of the Doctor Who episode, The Magician's Apprentice.

Free Nations: Canadian, French, Dutch and Australian Forces The world of Team Yankee continues to expand, and our newest book adds four more nations to the roster of forces with which to play. Free Nations started as an idea to add some of the forces of the smaller NATO nations, but grew into something much bigger with four western nations covered (well, technically five if you choose to run your ANZACs as New Zealanders). In store this weekend you will find the ANZAC forces and coming soon will be the Dutch and French ranges. Check out all the releases and related articles over on the Free Nations Landing Page.

Fate Of A Nation Book Spotlight The 1967 Six Day War and 1973 Yom Kippur or October War were epic in scale and brutal in intensity. The stakes were high for all sides. For Israel it was a matter of survival. If the Syrians or Egyptians broke through they could be in Israeli towns in less than an hour. For the Egyptians and Syrians it was a matter of credibility. Failure could bring down either government.  To read the rest of the book spotlight over on the Fate Of A Nation website click here... Click here to visit the Fate Of A Nation website...

Soviet TANKS Previews It is time for the Soviet juggernaut to once again be unleashed on the TANKS world. Like the British, the Soviets benefited from the Lend Lease program and received Stuart and Lee tanks from the US, as well as Valentine and Churchill tanks from the UK. Of course they had plenty of their own designs including the fearsome KV, the bane of many a Panzer commander as well as an earlier version of the T-34 that was being manufactured in Stalingrad whilst the fighting drew ever closer. Check out these sneak peeks before they release in August and September. KV Tank Expansion... T-34 (Early) Tank Expansion... Lend Lease Valentine Expansion... Lend Lease Churchill Tank Expansion...

We've had a number of requests and suggestions from players about how to field the Bishop so we thought we would turn it into an Unofficial Unit Card. Fielding a Bishop Field Troop...

Building Churchill's Wall Of Steel During the Armoured Fist Live Launch Chris wrote a short article about the Churchill Armoured Squadron he was very tempted to build. Despite having way too many half-started, half-finished and almost complete armies Chris has finally caved in to the pressure and started thinking about how to build them while also giving a touch of individuality.
