The biggest change in the Sengoku period (1467-1603) would affect the role of missile troops in battle. At the start of the period, these were all armed with the yumi (bow) and fought in coordinated units to pepper the enemy with their arrows. This bow, like the equivalent English Longbow, took many years training to perfect but was deadly when used correctly. Due to the training needed there were never as many yumi armed troops as a daimyo may have wanted!
This would change with the introduction of firearms in 1543 via some Portuguese merchants. It did not take long for clever daimyos to see the opportunity they provided. As in Europe, the relative lack of training needed to use one meant Teppo (muskets) rapidly replaced the yumi as the missile weapon of choice.
From having no gunpowder weapons before their introduction within 60 years teppo would outnumber yumi on the battlefield by a ratio of 4 or 5 to 1. However the yumi did not disappear, there would always be yumi armed troops amongst the teppo to help protect them while they reload.

Heroes of the Soviet Bloc, rejoice! The mighty Molot walks at the forefront of the glorious People's Conquest!
While we work on the plastic Molot kit, due out towards the end of this year, we've got a quantity of resin kits left over from the original starter army production. Rather than recycle them (a fate worse than death!), we're making them available for individual purchase. If you can't wait to get your hands on more Molots - now's your chance!
In addition, everyone who purchases a resin Molot will receive a voucher towards the cost of the plastic kit when it comes out - we'll send these out closer to the launch.
Quantities are strictly limited, so don't miss out if your Soviet Bloc force needs more walker support!

British Commonwealth forces have got reinforcements inbound!

We know you love Konflikt '47... we know you love Mystery Boxes... so there's only one logical conclusion: Konflikt '47 Mystery Boxes!
Packed with amazing value, each box contains a selection of miniatures and gaming accessories for a single faction, and represent a huge saving over buying the contents individually. Of course, you won't know which faction you've got until you open the box - but that's where the mystery lies! Some lucky recipients will also find the mighty Molot amongst their Soviet selection.
Mystery Boxes are always incredibly popular, so these will be available for one week only. Don't miss out!

We’re painting up Soviet Infantry using a classic khaki-beige uniform tone, giving that iconic Red Army look seen across the Eastern Front.
Using a combination of Army Painter Speedpaints and Warpaints Fanatic, this tutorial focuses on achieving a nice tabletop result.
We’ll also look at adding some variety to the force with the distinctive blue tones of the NKVD, along with painting up their loyal four-legged companion to bring even more character for your force.

Armies of Germany
Iv managed to complete my first grenadier squad and a lmg team (need add a separate model for the lmg team) I have actually painted and other squad of 9 grenadier’s and 3 hanomags but will post them separate. So all in all the speedier method for painting is working well. I honestly don’t think they look too bad at all.

Jonathan sent in pictures of his stunning, US Airborne diorama.
He's currently running a Veterans club in Quebec and is using Bolt Action to get people meeting up and making friends.
Mortar crew! Again, my kitbashed Gebirgsjager. All that’s left is the spotter and heavy weapons leader. Cheers!
