Hi, here is our latest newsletter!

|
We are back from Essen. Happy but exhausted.
|
|
What a great show we had. Whatever I tried in the last years to have no stress before a show, I always fail.
|
This year, I needed to wait with a loaded truck under my feet until the very last moment to receive an air shipment of ASSAULT - PRIMOSOLE BRIDGE. NEITHER KING NOR GOD and dummy boxes of OPERATION VALKYRIE and THE GREAT ESCAPE arrived in the morning.
|
Our booth had double the size as last year and we shared it with our friends from AEGIR GAMES as we will publish the German Edition of Europa Universalis - The Price of Power.
|
|
One of the greatest joy was that Grant and Alexander from The Players Aid joined us this year to visit the convention. On Thursday before the gates opened Thursday they sat down, learned and immediatelly played our new release Neither King Nor God LTD PILOT EDITION. A very special edition which we market in a unique way. The copies were sold out four hours after the show opened and feedback was overwhelming. We are very happy how the game is received by gamers. We have created a unique engine by selecting different types "Courtiers", sending them to Centers in Europe and have them execute their special ability.
|
The promotional offer still runs this weekend, get a copy while you can.

Wolfgang and Erich have been busy demoing the new ASSAULT module: Primosole Bridge, an expansion for the very successful Assault - Sicily 43.
|
After returning from Essen, there will not much to time to relax: organizing shpping to Europe for Battle Commander Vol. 1, Primosole BridgeandNeither King Nor God, catching up with emails and then I will travel to a small convention in Italy, Sorrento, south of Naples before heading to Zaragoza, Batalladores Con. Therefore, if you need to wait a bit longer than usual to get a reply, please forgive me. I will work through my mail box as fast as possible.

|
Please take care of yourself, stay safe and enjoy the games.

P.S. Speaking of our players, who I hope are, for the most part, satisfied with our communication and service, here’s a quick status update on current projects. (More detailed updates will follow in the individual campaign pages.)
|
- Battle Commander Vol. 1 - Printing is underway and the game is almost ready to ship.
- Primosole Bridge - Also currently being printed and nearly ready to set sail.
- Battles of Napoleon Vol. 2 - All the “hardware” is ready; we’re now finalizing the rulebook. I promise, the Wartenburg scenario will be a pleasant surprise!
- Assault Sicily ’43 and 1793 Patriots & Traitors - The books and limited-edition boxes have arrived in the U.S. and are finally ready to be shipped to players. My apologies for the long delay — the logistics were more complex than expected.
|
The good news: Sound of Drums now has its own business registration in the United States, which will make shipping and distribution much smoother going forward.
