Products

Publisher of Beer and Pretzels Skirmish (20th Century). Formerly published Battles for Empire (a set of Napoleonic rules) and a scenario book.

"A few years ago, a friend of mine and I wrote a set of rules for the Napoleonic Wars, called Battles for Empire. People told us that since no one had heard of us, we might sell 300 copies. As it turns out, we sold well over 3000 in the U.S., England, and Canada. The book was glossy paper, color art (Keith Rocco) on the cover, and over 150 photographs inside. We also published a second book, Napoleonic Scenarios, with similar success.

"When my partner had a mid-life crisis (got divorced, remaried, quit the Army, moved twice, and dropped off the face of the earth), I was left with a bunch of debt and the company name."
Payment If you live outside the continental U.S., please email to get postage costs. Bank charges on non-U.S. currency and non-U.S. banks are negotiable. Accepts Visa, MasterCard, and any Novus Cards (Sears, Discover, Novus, etc.).

Battle Standard Miniatures
Distributed by Vulcan's Forge
Email sculptor@bellsouth.net
Products "The figures are packaged the same as Old Glory, the cost however is only US$16.95 per bag, and all of our future releases will be in lead-free pewter. The figures are like a hybrid of Old Glory and Battle Honors/AB miniatures.

"Battle Standard Miniatures currently have out A.C.W., and are releasing complete lines of Napoleonics including Spanish, British, Allies and secondary countries, Swedes etc. Each pose within a line includes 30-40+ variations. They are also releasing American War of 1812 in '96, and will lead off '97 with Mexican-American War figures. All of our figures so far are 15mm."

Jeff Stuckey is the sculptor. "I have only been doing this for a year, and I have been improving the figs dramatically. I am currently averaging about 5 new lines a year, and hope to maintain that pace indefinitely."
