News from Alternative Armies for June 2020

The Corvid 19 pandemic is still very much with us and our suspension of new print titles and book releases remains in effect. It is certainly possible that restrictions may be lifted this month and allow us to get existing titles such as the Patrol Angis trilogy back in to stock but for the moment we assume not. Titles such as En Garde and new USEME booklets are in the que and waiting. If you wish to be informed of when new and existing titles will appear please contact us on sales@alternative-armies.com and we will let you know. 

This month we will have several new releases in 28mm and 15mm scale. We will also have re-mastered releases of existing codes as well. We are working at a reduced capacity just now but we understand how important the hobby is to wargamers and thus you can expect the following. Pack and Unit codes of the 2nd Heavy Dragoons on foot for Flintloque; these are following up on the mounted Dragoon packs and unit (54523 2nd Heavy Dragoons) in April. The 15mm Vasseth Strike Tank by Loud Ninja Games is returning and will feature a wee offer on it too. New tents and scenics for the 15mm Renaissance range sculpted by the 'Boy of Bronze' Andy Gorman which will be great for Furioso and fantasy settings too. Classic CE codes of Crystal Elf duelling miniatures will return. Plus there will be a free Flintloque scenario and Uniformation article as well. Lots to look forward to.
