Alongside the Blitzkrieg Supplement, the Polish Batalion Piechoty stands as a remarkably adaptable army, worthy of attention. First of note is the core; each company can comprise up to four platoons, meaning that there could be as many as 49 infantry teams in one element. At the same time, while all units are deployed, the platoons can act independently of each another.Link: Nova Open Foundation
Supporting the infantry, a battery of options (pun intended) can be brought to bear against an opposing force. Anti-tank guns, cavalry, light tanks, and scouts are all available to the Batalion Piechoty. A Batalion Piechoty player can also take advantage of four artillery batteries, in addition to an armored train. Given that artillery can double as an anti-tank measure, and that cavalry and tanks add to the army’s mobility, the Batalion Piechoty has options other than being a meat-grinder force.
The mix provided can act as a spectacular core set, while also being noteworthy for the wiggle room present. The mix of artillery, infantry, and more, weighs in at 1620 points, meaning that some units will need to be subtracted before reaching the current standard of 1500 points. 1620 Point Base Army, with a lot of flexibility up and down
It's that time again. The NOVA Open Charitable Foundation (NOCF) opened its charity army raffle ticket sales. As always, we are reaching out to you for your support - because we know tabletop wargamers are among the most generous people on the planet. Hoping we can count on your support again:
The NOCF charity army raffle season begins with one of the most amazing projects to date: The Battle for Craftworld. With Dave Taylor leading the NOCF Artist Consortium in recreating the Battle for Craftworld, it could not be more impressive! John Stiening took the lead over the creation of our Sons of Orar Space Marines; Brian Ballard took lead over the creation of our Alaitoc Eldar. These two armies are being raffled in support of Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres. Since the NOCF began raffling armies 2 years ago, over $16,000 has been raised for this great charity. At $1 a piece, that's a lot of raffle tickets! We would like to see these two armies match that 2-year total in 2015. For that to happen, we need everyone sharing these links and blog posts with all their friends.
Once more:
Nearly 20 miniature artists from around the world worked together with one purpose - to create these spectacular armes in order to support the work of DWB/MSF;
Justin McCoy/Secret Weapon Miniatures, created unique bases for these armies;
Daryl Elms/KRMulticase will provide custom card cases and transports for the armies; and
The NOCF will donate $0.95 cents of every dollar to DWB/MSF!
This a worldwide raffle that begins July 1, 2015. These army raffles will end Sunday, September 6, 2015 at 2:00pm EST. The winners' names will be drawn at the NOVA Open Tabletop Wargaming Convention that evening between 7:00 and 8:00pm EST. The drawing will be live cast and winners NEED NOT BE PRESENT TO WIN! The NOCF will ship anywhere in the world with a deliverable address.
Please help us reach the millions of tabletop wargamers around the world so they can join in this amazing fundraiser for this wonderful cause. Follow Dave's posts on the NOCF blog: http://novacf.blogspot.com/ and visit the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation's website to BUY TICKETS TODAY!
With the help of the talented Thomas Wynn, Secret Weapon was tasked with providing custom resin bases to the artists involved in the charity army events for 2014 -- but the bases are so nice that it seemed a shame not to make them available to the public. Now we're doing one better, and donating 50% of every sale to the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation.Link: Secret Weapon Miniatures
