For those unfamiliar with the first edition, Future War Commander 2 is a set of miniature wargame rules that allow you to play combined-arms games representing futuristic and science-fiction based battles.

The book also includes 17 scenarios for you to try, as well as two example army lists. Full support will be available through our Forum, with further lists for all of our ranges, Optional Rules, a QRS and more, all as free downloads.

We've got more plans this year than we've ever had before! We've got additions to our 10mm Historical ranges, more ranges and items for our 12mm Fantasy ranges, loads of new 10mm/Epic Sci-Fi ranges, plus new resin scenery, online army lists, and more! There's not enough space here to list it all, so head over to our Forum and take a look here (https://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,24058.0.html).
First Look at the Napoleonic Russians!

Our sculptor has been working on these for several months now and the first batch are complete, covering the 1805-1807 period. The number of 1811-15 sculpts is around double this lot, so his current estimate is to have them all done by the end of this year, or early '27.
Our current plan is still to launch these through a not-Kickstarter method, as we've done with the 1809 and Peninsular ranges previously. I don't want to do that until we're a maximum of 12 months from delivery of the figures, so I think we'll be running it around March/April time, with the packages being delivered in spring of 2027.
Head over to our Forum to take a look at all of the early sculpts here (https://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,24056.0.html).
