New Matched Pair Armies now released

24th Feb 2024

Another week, another order number, which this time around stands at #27989.    As ever, don’t panic if your order is previous to this, as it will be sorted out next week, and some of you whose orders come after this may get a welcome surprise.

After getting a lot of feedback from our customers over the past few months, one thing that has stood out is the popularity of our Matched Pairs.  To those of you unfamiliar with this, (how?), it is simply where we offer a number of army packs for historically paired opponents at a better price than purchasing them singly.  

Our current range consists of:

Ancients:

  • Republican Roman vs Carthaginian
  • Egyptian vs Hittite
  • Macedonian vs Achaemenid Persia

 

Crusades :         Crusaders vs Fatamids

GNW :               Swedes vs Russians

Napoleonic :     Peninsular British vs Frenc

ACW:                US vs Confederates

FPW:                 French vs Prussians

WWII:                Late War British vs Germans

 

To these, we are adding:

Ancients:            

  • Marian Roman vs Parthian
  • Early Imperial Romans vs Ancient British
  • Late Imperial Roman vs Sassanian Persian

Early Medieval:       Saxons vs Normans

Wars of the Roses:  Yorkist vs Lancastrian

Samurai Age of War: Samurai army vs another Age of War Samurai army

ECW:                        Essex’s army vs Oxford Army

WSS:                       French vs British

All of the details can be found on the appropriate sections in the Baccus online catalogue.

In addition to adding these extra sets, we are now making them available from the Baccus trade stand at wargames shows.   Just look for stickers like this on the army packs on display.

And…talking of shows, it’s the last call for orders to be collected at Hammerhead on 2nd March, and also definitely time to start thinking about getting those Salute orders to us.   If you wish to pay in advance, then there is a facility on the shopping cart to include collection.  Of you wish to settle up on the day itself, just call or email us with your list.
