Complete surprise to Warwick and me, Battlegroup Barbarossa has been nominated for an award in the Best Historical Supplement category!

Which is nice.

Other nominees in the category:

+ Battleground Europe
+ D-Day: Battle of Carentan
+ Flames of War: Barbarossa
+ Bolt Action: Tank War

Congrats on being recognized for your hard work! Hope you get it! Then you can advertise it as an "award winning"

Even though i am a FOW player,I would bet that BG suplement is alot better..
How ever i am about ready to jump ship to a different rules system.I checked out BA it just wasnt forme, So now i need to get ahold of a BG rulebook to check out.

Congratulations! Origins is pretty big around here. That's awesome you got nominated.

Any way we can help you win the vote?

I doubt it, Battlefront's products attract as much interest, players and sales as all their competitors put together as far as I can see.

Is that a comment based on actually comparing the products?

As in you own and have played both games Barbarossa supplements?

Just wondering cos it's always nice to meet and discuss our publications with our gamers. I'd be particularly interested in what you thought of the historical scenarios in BG Barbarossa.

I wonder if there is a substantial difference in marketing value between getting nominated and actually winning the award.

No idea... not heard of the awards till they nominated us!

We live a secluded life...

I haven't heard much about these awards in the miniatures gaming context but I have heard of them in the RPG context.

I have the FoW Barbarossa book. It's a pretty standard soft cover FoW book, among the bigger ones. Disappointingly it only has Germans and Soviets, the Axis minors are extra lists on their online army builder. Could have been an amazing hard cover like the Mid War Eastern Front book but it's not and feels incomplete.

I also have seen Battleground Europe and Tank Wars. Tank Wars is a solid supplement and adds a lot of new rules. Battleground Europe is a the best of the three IMO, the extra scenarios and units add a lot for campaign/scenario interested players. I use the similar Ostfront theatre book frequently.

I've not seen Battlegroup Barbarossa to compare.
