The Lost Oasis: Pimping Your Desert Battlefield in a Box SetsThe Lost Oasis:
Pimping Your Desert Battlefield in a Box Sets
My favourite part of the fighting in North Africa has always been the battle for the Sahara, waged between the remote outposts in southern Libya a thousand miles south of the famous battlefields of Gazala, Tobruk, and El Alamein. Here the desert was the master of the battlefield, dictating the fates of the soldiers fighting there.

Blood, Guts, & Glory Painting Challenge: The Remaining ForcesBlood, Guts, & Glory Painting Challenge:
The Remaining Forces
To celebrate the release of Blood, Guts, & Glory the members of the Battlefront Studio decided to hold a 24-hour painting challenge themed around the forces available in the new book. However, some people decided to take advance of opportunity to either complete other painting projects that had been haunting them for some time or get ahead for future projects Battlefront had planned.

Gary Martin's Guards Heavy Tank Regiment
With the release of Red Bear a good friend of mine asked me to help him get a new Soviet army ready. Luckily he wasn’t looking for a Strelkovy Battalion or a tank horde so I agreed to paint it up for him over the Christmas break.

Battlefront Miniatures is proud to announce that the community which brings you the European Team Championships has added Flames Of War to their team tournament format for 2012. The event will be held August 18-19, 2012 in Gorzow Wielkopolski, Poland. Since the middle of December when the tournament was officially announced 13 of the 20 team slots available have been filled but a team from the United States of America has yet to enter.

The Beasts of War Go Flames Of War!
The team over at Beasts of War have been going crazy over the 3rd Edition of Flames Of War. They have recently created an entire portal dedicated to Flames of War and have added new videos focusing on Third Edition as well as our latest release, Blood, Guts and Glory. We are even sending Matt Sully from our UK sales office to go and have a chat with the lads about what you can expect to see over the next couple of months. He is as nuts as the BoW guys so take what he says with a grain of salt.
