Here's a link to an interview Justegarde did with me about RSG. Posted with his permission. If you haven't come across Justegarde's channel before I recommend it. He is also expecting a game design of his own to be shipping from GMT in the next few weeks (Seljuk).

Copy of the latest newsletter:

Blue Panther’s sale on Red Sash Games products is concluded. Their website is now configured to sell component kits for the Print and Play copies. To order a kit from the RSG site, simply click on the Buy buttons linking the product to BP’s website. Instead of reading “order boxed game” they now read “order component kit”.

Kits include maps, counters, and any special components like cards, cubes, etc. Just no paper items like rules and display sheets. A game box is also supplied.

Remember, BP will still be selling complete games to a variety of distributors. A list can be found on the RSG Home page. So far as I am aware all of the older titles will remain available, but of course it will be up to the distributor to order them.

Also, each new title that comes out will be available directly from BP for a period of 12 months from release. Currently, Dreams of Empire and The Coorg War fall into that category. DOE will be available until the end of the year and TCW will be available until May 2026. Then BP will switch to making kits.

Copy of the latest newsletter re Blue Panther's upcoming August sale of RSG games:

Hello everyone,

Just a quick reminder that Blue Panther’s sale on Red Sash Games products is due to start soon.

The sale will run from 4-25 August 2025. 30% off on every Red Sash Game title.

Use promo code RedSash30 at checkout on Blue Panther’s site.

This will be your last chance to buy most of the older games and expansions direct from Blue Panther. Starting 26 August BP will only sell the following titles as complete games direct to customers: Dreams of Empire, The Coorg War, plus all new titles as they are released, each for a period of 1 year from release date.

Complete copies of all titles will still be available from distributors.

BP has committed to providing physical copies of counters, maps, and game boxes upon request for all PnP purchases. Your location may limit availability - no details yet. Pricing will be available shortly.

New games in the pipeline

Regarding new titles, the expansion sequel to Dreams of Empire is on track to be released before the end of the year. It covers the Second Carnatic War (featuring Clive of Injah). This will be a module, not a stand alone game. 80% of the counters and the maps in DOE can be reused. The module will also add a map of the Deccan (Central India) and take a look at the Maratha-Mughal rivalry as well as French expansion in that region.

That’s all for now. Remember, for production questions and issues, please contact Blue Panther. For rules questions please contact me at [email protected]

Best Regards,

Ian Weir

Some very important information about the RSG-Blue Panther manufacturing arrangement.

Upcoming Sale:

Our manufacturer, Blue Panther LLC, has some new production plans. To highlight this, during the month of August all physical copies of their Red Sash Games titles will be on sale at a discount of 30% for direct customers throughout the month of August 2025. (PnP games will not be on sale.)

Changes to Blue Panther's Production:

Starting in September of 2025 Blue Panther LCC will be implementing a number of changes to our product line:

1) New titles will only be manufactured On Demand for a period of ONE (1) year after they are first released.

2) After that time period Blue Panther will continue to manufacture On Demand the maps, counter sheets, and boxes to put them in. They will also provide unique parts, such as wooden cubes or standees, excepting card decks.

3) Starting in September 2025 all old titles will automatically fall under the conditions of (2), except for the two newest games, Dreams of Empire and The Coorg War. Both were released less than a year ago.

4) The above does not apply to orders from distributors, who will still be able to order complete physical copies of all the titles.

What does this mean for you?

1) Customers will continue to have the option to buy a PnP copy of any game or expansion direct from the Red Sash Games website.

2) Customers who buy an older title as a PnP and who desire to have professionally made counters and maps, and a box to put them in, can order them from Blue Panther. (This will include special items for those games that have them, excepting card decks, which can as always be obtained in physical form at DriveThru Cards.)

3) Customers who wish to buy a complete physical copy of one of the older titles may still do so through any distributor that carries them.

4) Customers will also have the opportunity, for a full year from the release of a new title, to purchase the complete physical game direct from Blue Panther.

The RSG product pages:

You will not see an immediate change to the RSG webpages. We will update each page as Blue Panther provides pricing for the various game parts that will be available.

Justegarde has been posting videos of Army of Roussillon game play. Thanks to David Ells for collating them at this url on BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3524500/learning-how-to-play-aorlfde
If anyone is interested in the Lace Wars series and how it plays, please check the videos out.

I highly recommend Justegarde's YouTube channel for anyone interested in seeing in-depth reviews of war games. He is currently focusing on the gunpowder/pike&shot period, from the 9YW to Napoleonic.
