Burning Banners

Yes, I know what you mean - initially, I got caught out by that, but in fact in all cases 'Success' means scoring a 5 or more (Note to those who are not familiar with the game - it uses D6 and D8's, being referred to as 'light dice' and 'heavy dice' respectively. Rolling a 7 or 8 is not only a hit, but may also be critical hits, confirmed by rolling 5 or 6 on a D6)

Yeah it's easy to remember

I got me some nice weighty coins for the game...but I think I'll need more.

Admittedly, though, two lots of these come to half the price of the game...but there's something quite satisfying about the clink of metal as you dish out the coins 

[bob48]

Never mind all that, how are you getting on with the game?

[JudgeDredd]

It's.....waiting patiently

Game Trade's been around a long time, but almost never talks about wargames.

It's focused on "here are the new releases for the next 2 months" and a bunch of distributor info.

They'll have some preview articles that are often little more than rewritten press releases, but they're there to boost enthusiasm for upcoming games.  It's focused on game store employees & super-fans & demo teams, but there's a lot in there that more casual fans would find interesting, too

I cant see anyone selling it on this side of the pond. Pity as i would have liked to get that issue.

I just found it on eBay for $5 so I picked it up. It cost about as much to ship it. 
I'll let you know when it gets here, Bob.

check your FLGS.  They usually give them away at the front counter

I've seen references to a .pdf version, but haven't been able to track it down.

[bob48]

They have a FB page, so i messaged them to see if they have anyone in the UK who sells the mag, or if i can buy a .pdf version.

If you mean actual bricks and mortar shops, then we don't have any - not nearby, anyway, unless you count GW stores. There is a 'Forbidden Planet' shop in town which may have it.
