And the Long Drought is Over!!!

BG is back! Not that it ever left, but it seems that the parties involved have ironed things out and are going forward with what matters, more Battlegroup!

Here is the press release in it's entirety:

PRESS RELEASE - MAY 2019

Well the long wait has finally ended!

From the end of May 2019, The Plastic Soldier Company will be taking over exclusive ownership of the Battlegroup gaming series from Ironfist Publishing.

What will this mean to our players?

Well not much will change for you but we hope it will finally secure new production and reprints going forward.

Warwick will be writing the rest of the books and finishing the series as always planned. Piers will be looking after the support and promotion of the game along with helping out on books as needed in terms of writing and photos. So in this regard nothing changes.

What will change is that along with the new books, PSC will commence reprinting the currently out of print titles. First up will be the first half of Overlord (D-Day) to pair with Beyond the Beaches. Following this will be Kursk and Fall of the Reich. It's planned all this will be in softback form, in order to lower costs in both production, shipping and retail.

The next hardback book release will be Battlegroup: Pacific War, later in 2019, followed by the series returning to the Eastern and Southern Fronts in 2020.

As regards NORTHAG, we will now be helping PSC with its final production and release, plus looking at a first supplement for the NORTHAG series.

Outside of Battlegroup and NORTHAG with PSC, other rules will be published by Artorus Games, and this will commence with Soldiers of Rome, which is almost complete. Vietnam will then follow.

We hope this brings security and stability to Battlegroup and it's community in the future and look forward to working with PSC on the game and increasing its popularity.

Piers and Warwick

And there you have it. I will keep folks apprised of what I know, when I know it. But for now, rejoice, the drought is over!

UPDATE:

Preorders for the Overlord D-DAY supplement are up on the PSC Site!

And the cover looks amazing!
