Our 30 Years War N-gauge figures continue to be quite popular, so for the month of November, we are offering bags of 1,000 (foot) and 500 (cavalry) figures for $100.00 – This special pricing only applies to our N-gauge 30YW figures, and as always you pick the mix!

I’ve started work on the first of my 50th anniversary (of Scruby Miniatures) games. This will be a 30mm Napoleonic game inspired by battle reports from the 1957 issues of The War Game Digest. In a nut shell, the game will be played with individually based figures and will be played with rules based on the way games were played in 1957. Updates and pictures as the project proceeds.

Construction is nearing completion, we hope to begin moving into the new workshop over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We hope to be into the new office and game room by the end of December! I’ll still need to finish the trim, but the basics (heat, paint and carpet) will be done. Once we are moved in, we will be able to get organized again!

One of the cool things about the new space is that starting in February of 2007 we will be able to startup a new project; Workshop Weekends. What are Workshop Weekends? One weekend a month we will be hosting games at the workshop. If you live nearby (Wisconsin, Illinois, or Minnesota) why not plan on coming by for a game – if you live in another part of the county (or world) why not plan a vacation to the Wisconsin Dells – let the family play at one of the water parks while you pop down for a game? Well, anyhow more details and a schedule of games/events will be available in January…

That should about do it for this time around, I’ll post additional news updates and tidbits as the month progresses.

Last Minute Addition: Concerning the 50th Anniversary game project, I’ve started work on a few new figures for the 30mm Napoleonic line…

What is the “Mike’s Grab Bag” drawing all about?

Well, every month (OK, everyday) there is a bunch of “stuff” on my desk that just isn’t being used. This stuff might be figures or it might be books or maybe some one-off conversions or maybe a new sculpt. I really don’t know what I’ll find on my desk – it won’t be junk, I wouldn’t do that too you, but you never know what it might be!

Here is how it will work, starting in November, on the last day of the month, I’ll clear off my desk and put together that month’s grab bag. Then we will round up the names of everyone to whom we shipped orders as well as the names of any open orders and toss them all into a hat. From there we will draw at least one name each month and that lucky winner will receive the grab bag for the month (if the is a lot of “stuff” on my desk, we may make up two or more grab bags).

There you are, easy as pie – I get a clean desk and some lucky customer gets some “free stuff”.
