There you have it folks – Warlord has announced the pre-order date this week, so we’re sure to get a better look at the new rules, how the game works, and what those new plastic kits are in the very near future.
What could the three plastic kits be? We’d love to see plastics for some of the minor powers – it seems that pretty much all the major countries are represented in plastic now. Hungarians would go over super well. As one of the countries that sacrificed a huge amount during WW2 and doesn’t get much historical note about it, Chinese plastic soldiers would be awesome. Romanians would be great as well.
It’ll be interesting to see what they do with the army lists – as we know, they are fully changing up the army lists and will have all new stuff. Will we get Indexes like other companies do, where you have a basic but boring list and then buy a book later with spicier rules in it?
Leave your hot takes below and let us know what you think, then get that credit card ready to pre-order on Friday!
