June 2020 Update - Thursday, June 4, 2020

Hello everyone,

For those who don't subscribe to our emails (you can subscribe at the top of this page), here is the information that went out this morning in our June 2020 update. Note one correction: in the email I inadvertently said that Iron Curtain has two countersheets. It has four countersheets. My apologies for the error.

We are happy to announce that we have been allowed to return to the office and we are hard at work shipping orders, getting products printed, and moving other games towards production. We have the ASL Starter Kit Expansion Pack #2 components in the warehouse now. The ASL Starter Kit #1 is back in stock, as is the ASL Rulebook. OCS Hungarian Rhapsody is at the printer and should soon be in the warehouse. After that we plan to release Last Stand, TCS Ariete, and SCS Rostov '41.

We have three pieces of information to cover today: a new preorder process for some games, a new Standard Combat Series game on preorder, and an upcoming YouTube show covering the events of D-Day 76 years ago.

NEW PREORDER FORMAT

Preorders for most games (with the exception of ASL and GCACW) will have an 'early bird' bonus. For the first 30 days on preorder these games will be priced 30% below retail, after which the discount will change to 20% below retail for the remainder of the preorder period. The first game to follow this format is our new Standard Combat Series game Iron Curtain, which will retail for $85. For the first 30 days (ending June 28) the preorder price will be $60. After June 28 the preorder price will change to $68 where it will remain for the rest of the preorder period.

IRON CURTAIN

As for Iron Curtain, this is a new Standard Combat Series game, the first design by Carl Fung who has done much Order of Battle research for a number of our games.

Iron Curtain posits several conflicts between East and West in the years spanning 1945-1989, with scenarios set in 1945, 1962, 1975, 1983, and 1989. Forces for each scenario are different, reflecting the changes over time in weapons, Orders of Battle, and the effects of culture. Each scenario begins with a variable 'run-up' time that can affect starting positions, giving the game considerable replay value. Scenarios are all one month in length.

Iron Curtain contains an SCS Rulebook (Version 1.8 ), a game-specific rulebook, one map, four countersheets, two full-colour player displays, two full-colour, 2-sided Game Charts and Tables, plus box and dice. You can read more on Iron Curtain on its preorder page: http://www.multimanpublishing.com/tabid/59/ProductID/380/Default.aspx

D-DAY LIVE STREAM ON YOUTUBE

And finally, Multi-Man Publishing is proud to announce that we are the official sponsor of Paul Woodadge's World War II show on D-Day, on his YouTube channel WW2TV.

Paul will broadcast this show from his home in Normandy with guest historians joining via Zoom to talk about D-Day and Overlord subjects. The show is scheduled to start on June 6 at 0900 local time in Normandy (0300 EDT) and will run 14-15 hours. Paul and his guests will cover a wide variety of subjects which you can check out on his YouTube page: https://youtu.be/IYHY5clcamk

Note that after the show is over it will remain on YouTube so you will be able to watch or re-watch at a later date.
