Lost Battalion Games is publishing Nanking

That is GREEAAT news!! Lost Battalion Games has just announced that they're about to publish Nanking. A lot of work yet to do, but we're very happy to work with them on this project, because we feel that there is a strong consistency between Nanking and other of LBG games.

Lost Battalion Games is an American publisher of wargames. They manufacture card games, boardgames and miniatures games dedicated to a variety of historical periods: WWII, American Civil War, Napoleonic Wars, naval warfare... Battelines, Enemy in Sight and Napoleon's Battles are some of their current titles: Quality games that are fun to play!

See their January newsletter for the official announcement.
