New version for the website
Published on 27/12/2009
While we were announcing «HistWar : Les Grognards» release and pre-orders launching, we also were working on the new design for our websites.
We thank Naya O'Connell, and her webdesign agency studio Poids Plume, for the relooking of HistWar : online store, websites and soon, forums. For paintings, I'm sure your recognized our painter : Laurent Abadie, who works with JMM for the game and also creates the Merveilleuses !
We hope you'll like new designs and we wait for you on forums (which are waiting for new design too ! ;) )
Happy Christmas !

JMM and HistWarGames team wish you a great and happy Christmas !
For all «Grenadiers d'HistWar» who pre-ordered the game, you will find a voucher in the private forum to put at the bottom of your christmas tree ;)
And to finish, let's thank Laurent for his new Merveilleuse :
Launch of pre-orders
Published on 19/12/2009
After several years of development, it is time to fully unveil «HistWar : Les Grognards». It is not without emotion that we move on to the first step of the final phase: the beginning of pre-sale!
All information is available at our online store here: http://www.histwargames.com/
The title of «Grenadier d'HistWar» will be assigned to those who will buy the game during the pre sale period (you have to be a registered user on our dedicated forum to get the title). This title will give you access to a restricted forum.
The duration of this phase is without doubt limited, since we plan to make «HistWar : Les Grognards» available around Christmas.
The boxed versions (the collector edition «Napoleon» and the «Grognard» edition) will be delivered in January 2010.
However, the 3 versions (1 online + 2 boxes) will be downloadable at the date of release of the Game; an email will be sent specifying a serial number.
The LAN game requires one license for 2 computers.
That’s all for the essential stuff.
Let me wish you a Happy Holiday season… And as much happiness with the Grognards.
I hope you will have as much fun playing as I had developing it
