April 2023
We have some good news, and some not so good news...
The good news is that, from Monday (3 April) we should have a working die-press again.
The not so good news is that we start our annual sojourn in France on 21 April - and won't be back until October.
As we will have less than a three-week window, we'll not be taking new counter orders until October (instead we will focus on trying to satisfy the small backlog of orders and enquiries we already have). Map orders can still be satisfied, but there will be a cut-off on 16 April.
Our apologies if you've been waiting to place a counter order but things really have been beyond our control. However, I promise you, the wait will be worthwhile, as we have some great addditions (and I mean GREAT) to the counter range to announce once we're fully back up and running.
We have a great new promotion for April - This time from Lombardy Studios - as well as the continuing promotion from Strategemata. See below...
It was 20 Years Ago Today...
Well, perhaps not 'today', I'm not exactly sure which day, but 2023 is
LYG's 20th ANNIVERSARY!!!
Time passes in the blink of an eye. I originally created LYG as a project to allow me to practice my HTML. Now, 20 years later, we’re still here. We have 25 great sponsors, we host 1,200 files, we have over 15,000 users each year and our map and counter printing services are great successes.
I think all of that deserves some form off celebration and many of our sponsors agree. So…
To celebrate
20 Years of Limey Yank Games
We are having a full year of promotions and offers.
During each month of 2023, there will be at least one offer from one or more of our sponsors, as well as a prize draw, running throughout the year, from ourselves.
April's Promotions
Lombardy Studios publishes innovative history–themed books, games and other items, from products that make exploring history entertaining and fun to “hard-core” histories for in-depth research. Lombardy Studios was founded by Dana Lombardy, who has nearly 50 years experience in publishing. April sees Lombardy Studios offering FREE downloads and special discounts to help clebrate LYG's 20th Anniversary. Take a look here: Lombardy Studios.
Strategemata got the ball rolling for our celebrations with a fantastic offer. And the great news is that the offer remains valid. Strategemata will discount each order by a massive 20% - all you must do is quote the Discount Code LYG20.
