After many years without one (sadly all the previous cool discussions are lost) I’ve started a new forum. If you’re an Open Combat player (or just fancy finding out more) please join (and share). 🙂

It’s been a long time posting here. But Open Combat is now available in soft back on Amazon using the print on demand service so you should be able to get a copy ‘locally’ (depending on printing house location) whatever country you’re in!
So grab it now!

👀 looks at last time I posted on Twitter.
(I thought I’d been a while off the radar recovering from various health events and surgeries but blimey!)
I’m going to be move to a PoD approach in the future. Not got the space to hold onto lots of stock ‘on hand’. But I do have about 300 of the original KS hardback books remaining with their fancy matt laminate and ‘spot’ gloss covers + two col endpapers.

I’m going to be running a sale in November to promote Open Combat and see if I can attract some new #tabletopgames miniature game players with the last copies of the KS hardback before I move over to the Print on Demand approach.
It's been a very long time but I'm finally back in a position to make some noise again. Here's what's been going on... secondthunder.com/blogs/news…
Thanks to everyone that took the time to visit my stand at @UKGamesExpo it was fantastic to chat to familiar faces and introduce new players to Open Combat. Super pleased with the response to the launch of Lucrum too. I think that’s going to grow a lot over the next few months 🙂
Thanks to everyone for their support that dropped by the Second Thunder stand 1-1036 on Saturday (day two) of @UKGamesExpo Going into to day three! Be sure to check out Lucrum and a Open Combat before the show ends! 🙂
Second Thunder - Open Combat Skimish Rules retweeted
Only actual game I've picked up at #UKGE2022 so far is Open Combat from @second_thunder but tomorrow is the final day and I'm concerned I might go hog wild 😅
Day two @UKGamesExpo about to start. Lucrum strategy board game and Open Combat miniature skirmish game available at Stand 1-1036. Come and have a looksee!
Thanks to everyone that visited me (stand 1-1036) at the #ukgamesexpo today. It was so busy I forgot to get any photos! It was great to introduce so many people to Open Combat and Lucrum. :)
My voice is already at super croaky level. 😅
I’m at stand 1-1036 in Hall 1. Simply walk on down Warhammer Avenue, take a right at Stafford Street and you’ll see me from there on (Mythic Avenue)!
