North Star Games - Newsletter #181

The latest releases from North Star Games...
-------------------
Hi
Welcome to Newsletter #181
Thank you for opening up our latest newsletter. It's great that you're sticking with us, for news about what's out and about in the world of Wargaming.
This is going to be a great newsletter. I suspect it's because there is a lot of splendid stuff that was saved to be released at Salute last week, and we've got it now.
Photo of Saga: Age of Magic (BP1680)Photo of SAGA Rulebook Version 2 (BP1613)What's top of the list?They all are, but maybe Saga: Age of Magic is pipping everything to the post. This is the massively anticipated Fantasysupplement for the incredibly popular game Saga. It is of course a supplement, you need a copy of the basic Saga II book to play. Photo of Saga: Age of Magic Spell Cards (SPELL01)
There is also 3 sets of dice and a spell deck. You don't 'need' to have these to play, but come on, why not! We are taking orders now for shipping 23rd of April, so please order quickly for priority service.

They went really well at Salute, thank you to everyone who joined us there. Can you use them in Saga: Age of Magic? You bet!Two boxes and you have what you need and a bit more.
Photo of Seven Days to the River Rhine (BP1681)Photo of Seven Days to the River Rhine (BP1681)The other new game release at Salute was Seven Days to the River Rhine. This release fromGreat Escape Games is designed for 15mm Cold War Gone Hot games. The Team Yankeeminiatures you've got are perfect for playing this game.
Celtic Warrior CollectionCeltic Warrior CollectionThere's lots more stuff to show you, but I'll let you find them yourself below. The one range I want to point out are the Celts. This is a range from the 1990's we're doing a limited release on. You can buy the collection (one of each now). After Easter they will be on sale singularly until the stocks have gone. We will then 'mothball' the moulds then for a year or so.
Photo of Death in the Dark Continent. (BP1569)Lastly, we've got something free for you. Chris Peers, along with Kev Dallimore and Mark Copplestone, have put together ten new army lists for Death in the Dark Continent, and you can download them for free from our magazine pages. Even if you don't play the game, have a read. How can you not want to know who theZappo Zaps and the Shire Kololo are?
Thanks for reading
Cheers
Nick

Assemble a warband from one of six factions, recruit new units like Monsters, Creatures and War Machines, and confront your opponents with the aid of powerful sorceries. The Age of Magic is designed to give players all the tools they need to use their existing collections of fantasy figures, and to create their own gaming universe.

Welcome to the Pulp Figures! My name is Bob Murch and I’m the sculptor, mould maker, caster, shipper and chief bottle washer of this plucky, rag-tag enterprise. Pulp Figures turned 10 years old in 2012 and since its beginning, when I often had to explain the term ‘Pulp’ to many gamers, Pulp Adventure gaming has become an established genre familiar to gamers with many excellent rules systems to choose from. The inspiration for Pulp Figures remains early 20th Century ‘Pulp Era’ adventure film and fiction and the minis remain oriented towards table-top gaming. This is not to say that role-players won't find the miniatures exciting and useful. Everything under the Pulp Figures banner is character driven with fun and personality given priority over strict historical accuracy.

River Rhine

Seven Days to the River Rhine is a set of fastplay rules simulating armoured combat during the 1980's in Europe when the Cold War between the NATO alliance and Soviet led Warsaw Pact could easily have turned Hot.It is a game in which simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.The rules are deliberately uncomplicated to allow players to concentrate on the scale of the battle, but the action/reaction system ensures that all players are constantly involved at all times making tactical decisions affecting their own commands.
 
Death in the Dark Continent
Photo of Death in the Dark Continent. (BP1569)Death in the Dark Continent is a full colour, hard back book that takes the reader deep into late 19th Century Africa. At it's heart is a wargame, a game that allows the player to field armies of miniature figurines representing African Tribes, European Invaders and Native Kingdoms.With an emphasis on the people of Africa as well as the Colonial Invaders, Death in the Dark Continent is a unique publication offering 80 different army lists covering all the vastly different forces in Sub-Saharan Africa 1870 to 1899.
New army lists for Death in the Dark Continent
The new army lists for Death in the Dark Continent are worth reading even if you don't play. They cover such peculiarities as The Zappo ZapsTarzan and the Orange River Raiders, & The Shire Kololo that have nothing to do with Hobbits...

Men of Bronze is a wargame that allows you to play out Classical Greek hoplite battles on the tabletop. Players are Strategoi (generals) leading phalanxes of bronze-clad warriors in pursuit of fame, glory, and the honour of their city-states. To win such prizes, however, you must prove your mettle, display your valour, and bring the other Strategoi to their knees!

Team Yankee War in the Middle East
With Europe ablaze the shadow of war quickly crept across the globe. In the Middle East, Iran and Iraq had been locked in a conflict across their border since 1980, and looked unlikely to stop anytime soon. Further west, Israel and Syria had come to blows in Lebanon as Israel fought PLO forces operating from inside their northern neighbour. The oil rich region, already rife with conflict and tension, was about to be drawn into World War III as the Soviet Union and US led NATO set about protecting their interests in the black gold that kept the wheels of industry turning.

What's coming up next?
Look out for new WW2 Soviets from Artizan Design, new ACW from Crusader Miniatures, new 1672 figures from North Star, new Ghost Archipelago miniatures and a new licensed range of figures, Rangers of the Shadow Deep by Joseph McCullough.
