				<title>New Releases from Battlefront</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Battlefront just put put up some spotlights on some of their new releases for this month.<br /> <br /> First up is the <a href="http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=1150" target="_new" rel="nofollow">Soviet Heavy Assault Gun Company</a> boxed set, with four ISU-122 or 152 assault guns, and one IS-2 heavy tank.  The different hulls are a nice touch, and I particularly like the one with two hatches open.<br /> <br /> <br /> Next is the <a href="http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=1149" target="_new" rel="nofollow">German PaK43</a> boxed set, with two PaK43 anti-tank guns and crew.  This is another kit that I've been waiting on awhile.  I think this gun was already available in one or two of the big army boxes, but it's definitely nice to have it out in its own boxed set now.  I didn't realize until I read the spotlight that these guns have an anti-tank rating of 16.  That's enough to blow the living crap out of basically any tank in the game.  <img src="/s/i/a/baf5f2e54c6b17d5c5d39aecadfa1272.gif" border="0">  These things will definitely be an artillery and smoke magnet though, so using them to good effect might be tricky.  They'd be a great area denial unit though (something that can be absolutely crucial in <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(299);'>FoW</span>).<br /> <br /> <br /> Then we have the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(299);'>FoW</span> mini I've probably been most excited about this whole year!  The <a href="http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=1151" target="_new" rel="nofollow">Hetzer</a> is finally here!  I guess the name "Hetzer" wasn't actually used during the war, the official designation being Jagdpanzer 38(t).  Based off the older Czech-made chassis, these things look pretty sweet.  They're basically like a super-up-armored Marder (Their front armor in-game is as effective as a StuG III or IV).  They've got a couple special rules that I'd bet will make them a popular choice in the near future.<br /> <br /> There's also a spotlight this week for resin <a href="http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=938" target="_new" rel="nofollow">Opel Maultier trucks</a>.  These were only available in metal before, I believe, so it's nice to have them available in resin.<br /> <br /> And finally the Late War <a href="http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=1155" target="_new" rel="nofollow">Panzergrenadier platoon</a> that was only available before in a boxed set with half-tracks is now available in a blister.  These are some of my favorite <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(495);'>LW</span> infantry sculpts that Evan  has done, and it's nice to be able to get them in a blister so I can mix them in with my <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(495);'>LW</span> Grenadiers without buying a boxed set with half-tracks that I don't need.  <img src="/s/i/a/c944477abc92c1c101da485e07ff06d8.gif" border="0"><br /> <br /> Enjoy!]]></description>
