SANDBAGS

What battlefield is complete without sandbags?

If you're looking to make some sandbags of your own from putty, click on over to this article written and submited by Ronny Noben. However, if you'd like to order your own that's possible too. You can click on over to Toy Soldiers Depot and use the search function to look through what they have to offer. If you're looking to pick something up locally, contact WHATEVER! in the DuBois Mall to order some of the rather cool Pegasus sandbag sets they have to offer. If you are closer to Gatehouse Games, then contact them to get in that order before Christmas.

TOUR 4: CALL TO ARMS

We have just received word that while leading an assault by Cygnar’s 16th Heavy Infantry Battalion into the heart of Sul, Lord Commander Coleman Stryker was killed in action when a Menite temple collapsed and crushed him beneath. The highly decorated warcaster was pursuing the Protectorate’s Priestess and Protector of the Flame, whom Stryker had engaged in several previous battles, when the tragedy occurred.

PORT VLADOVAR RECONSTRUCTED

A thorough inspection by Bolshik Marshal Ustinov and a cabinet proxy for Posadnik Smyvalov, who was unable to attend the extensive two-day tour, at last finalized the reconstruction of Port Vladovar. In the wake of last autumn's horrific Cryxian attack, the city's defenses have not only been restored, but "have surpassed their previous offensive and defensive capabilities", said Ustinov at a ceremony following his inspection.
