Greetings fellow naval gamers!
First of all, I have a big announcement to make. As those of you who follow the blog and the MBS Facebook page are already aware, MBS is launching a naval wargaming podcast! The first full episode is scheduled to be released on 7 December 2015. A preview episode is posted and can be accessed here:

With that out of the way, a lot of other things have been happening on MBS since the last newsletter! First of all, there has been a couple of big news stories. GW has announced they are revitalizing their “specialist” games, which includes Battlefleet Gothic:

Overall, lots of great things happening in the MBS community! Don’t forget, if you have any naval gaming-related files you would like hosted on MBS, or if you know of a cool naval gaming website or company, please let me know! I am more than happy to upload files to the Downloads page, and the various sub-forums have stickied Resources topics in them.
Until next month, Good Luck and Good Hunting!
