WIP Games and Miniatures: On Bloody Ground – Looking For Trade Partners!


WIP Games and Miniatures: As we continue to expand the range of periods covered by the ‘On Bloody Ground’ series of Mass Combat Wargames Rules, it’s become very clear to us that we’re now at a point where having distributors in all areas is an important step in the growth of the game, so that’s what we’re going to try to achieve!

If you have a business in the gaming industry in any part of the world that would be interested in stocking ‘On Bloody Ground’, or you’re a customer of a business that you think might be interested, please get in touch with us either via the contact us section of our website here

Why stock On Bloody Ground?

1. We have a growing range of products that have already proven popular around the globe.
2. We are releasing regular new products to cover many new periods of wargaming interest.
3. Our rules are not available as PDFs, so you won’t be usurped by electronic sales – ever!
4. Our minimum order is well within even a small store budget.
5. Once you’re a stockist of our products, we’ll help to grow your business too.
6. We do not discount our rulebooks, so your price is the same as our price.
7. Our system requires more than a handful of figures, and wargamers love a new army!

Large companies require constant growth, so they need to sell to anyone that will buy their products. We’re a small, family run company, which means we can promise you’ll never see ‘On Bloody Ground’ for sale at your local newsagent or Grocers where they sell at a discount, after you’ve done all the work to introduce new people to the best Mass Combat Wargame on the planet (Proof pending!).


Badger Games: New 28mm Regiment Games WWII Thai


Badger Games: Regiment Games has just greatly expanded its range of ignored World War Two armies to include the Kingdom of Thailand. Much overlooked by history, the Thai fought bravely throughout World War Two. Thailand fought a brief territorial war with France/Vichy in 1940-1941. 

Briefly invaded by Japan in 1941, Thailand became a part of the Axis Alliance. The Thai army fought against the British-Indian forces in Burma as well campaigns against the Chinese. Finally, after separating themselves from their alliance with Japan, the Thai fought a second brief war with the Japanese. The Thai Armed forces maintained a French-inspired uniform and weapons and armaments from a multitude of countries. This fantastic range contains everything you would require for a very complete Thai force for whatever ruleset you prefer. Much more WWII to come from Regiment Games so watch this space. Regiment Games are available exclusively from Badger Games.

Wargame Shop: New New Warband and Noble Edition Dark Age Wargaming Rules


Wargame Shop: Dark Age Kingdoms is a time in Anglo-Saxon history when the kingdoms of Wessex, Northumbria, Mercia and East Anglia were at conflict with each other and the Vikings. The Brittonic Pics, Celtic Romano Britons, Welsh and Gaelic Irish bide their time for expansion. Fight the saga’s of the period using these Wargame skirmish action rules Available in two editions, The Warband Edition and The Noble Edition.

The figures use HEX bases, oh no I can hear you say, but I have been working with Warbases and they have produced a hex base conversion that a Saga miniature with a 25mm fits into, so that figures can still be used for both. Plus other useful tokens for the game. Check the rules here

WARBAND EDITION softback edition - The Romans have vacated the shores of the British Isles and the Dark Ages have befallen. Crossing from the shores of Europe the Angles, Saxon and Jutes have invaded and divided the land that will later become the unified Kingdom of England. The Heptarchy, the seven Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms of Britain, in name Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, Sussex, Kent, Essex and Wessex. For the past four hundred years a continuous power struggle has been fought between these seven kingdoms for overall supremacy, some have succeeded, whilst others have failed. Amid all this tussle the displaced tribes of the British Isles are still present, the Celtic Romano Britons in the South West/North, The Brittonic Picts in the North, the Welsh in the West. If this wasn’t enough the Vikings are raiding the coastlines from Scandinavia and have invaded with their Great Heathen Army.

Dark Age Kingdoms is set in this traumatic period between 865 to 900, where the four remaining Kingdoms of the Heptarchy, Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia and Wessex are besieged by the Vikings with the fringe tribes trying to hold their own lands against all comers. Choose a faction and defend your Kingdom from friends and foes alike. Truly, Dark Age Kingdoms is an epic struggle of man against man. Each faction selects or buys a warband, this small fighting group of warriors is led by a warband leader. The leader is an exceptional fighter, the strongest and bravest warrior in the warband. This tribal leader or Thegn holds his fellow warriors in check and commands their respect. Enrich your warband with the addition of warrior personalities and special characters. Use the traits and special abilities of your faction to further stylise your warband and increase its skill level over multiple encounters.

Dark Age Kingdoms rules are based on a choice of actions and reactions that are the founding principles of this gaming system. The bound sequence is sub-divided into rounds and action phases. Each phase allows a specific warrior class to choose between inactivity or performing either a normal or special action. Warriors might be able to select a defensive reaction against an attack and the warband leader may even intervene and issue control actions that boost the activities of a warrior.

The gaming system uses two six-sided dice for the majority of all dice rolls that are required, this system gives a more even spread of results. Designed for skirmish games, but allowing for upwards of twenty-five figures aside, the rules are scalable and detailed. Incorporated within the rules are event cards, a set of one hundred cards that allow the warband leader to help or hinder a selected faction by unleashing an event upon them. The rules are designed to give a vast array of options, so no battle should ever be the same. Whether you elect to assemble all of your warband on the battlefield or leave some warriors in reserve in the hope to sway the battle later. The game system uses strategic command, event options, tactical actions and reaction to give a realistic and dramatic flavour to this period of history. Designed for 25mm Dark Age Wargames figures, these rules are fully supported at our website of wargameshop.uk. Where rule support and free downloads are available, including the playing card size event cards. Why not dust off your old Dark Age Saga era figures and give them a new lease of life.

NOBLE EDITION hardback edition - The Dark Age Kingdoms Noble Edition expands on the Warband Edition. The scale of encounters can be increased; the contingents still form warbands each led by a subordinate lord, over these a charismatic leader resides, maybe a Kingsthegn, Ætheling or even the King; The core rules remain the same, but with more actions and special rules, whilst personalities and special characters have been expanded upon. The inclusion of the Irish who have sailed from other the seas or are being attacked at home by the Vikings.

The warband can be enriched with the new inclusion of legendary characters and mercenary warriors. Fight a series of encounters with the continuance rules or quickly construct a mini-campaign with the use of the Kingdoms Campaign rules. This edition also includes the detailed description for the 150 event cards that can be drawn for use within each encounter. This is the original 100 event cards, expanded by an additional 50 noble event cards. Use ploys and treasure reward tokens to give objectives to a battle. Attempt to succeed in expanding your kingdom and become the one true King.
