Battlegroup Blitzkrieg now on Pre-Order!

News from PSC today and it looks like this edition was well worth the wait and validated the decision to delay publication late last year.  I've already signed up and am also excited that the Western Desert is next (early 2016 I understand). From the PSC website:

Battlegroup Blitzkrieg

£25.00

The next supplement for the ‘Battlegroup’ World War II gaming rules covering the invasion of Poland in 1939 and France in 1940.

Designed to be played in 20mm and 15mm, this latest book contains army lists, vehicle data and special rules for the first two years of the war, including France’s command chaos, the Luftwaffe's aerial superiority and the swift German Panzermarsch!

Nine new army lists for the early war fighting. The Polish and German armies for 1939 and German Panzer and Infantry Divisions to fight French Light Mechanized Divisions, Armoured Divisions and Infantry Divisions, the British Expeditionary Force and Belgian army in 1940.

Nine historical scenarios from Poland to Belgium and France. All in a lavish 184 page, hardback book. Heavily illustrated with inspiring miniature photographs, historical photographs and artwork.

  1. I am interested in these rules, and am hoping they get round to re-releasing the Kursk set...

  2. I'm impressed.
    Plastic Soldier Company surpassing Battlefront as the premier 15mm WWII minigame company would just be a beautiful, beautiful thing to see.
    It seems like they've been taking carefully measured steps since their inception, and since I've purchased a bunch of their tanks, half tracks and troopies I know they make a fine product. Give them a few years and I'd love to see them release a comprehensive WWII minigaming system. In a few years they'll quite likely produce the minis to support it.

    Battlefront has gotta be kicking themselves for not releasing plastic minis sooner.
