May, 2023
For May, we have another great promotion to help celebrate our 20th Anniversary - this time from Europa Simulazioni - 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.
May's Promotions
Europa Simulazioni are offering a great deal on their latest game, Piacenza 1746.
The well received, Piacenza 1746 covers the important battle fought during the War of the Austrian Succession in Italy. A French-Spanish army marched to relieve Piacenza. The allied army’s attack ultimately failed, and the Austrians won the day. This new game system focuses on linear infantry manoeuvres. Cavalry has a marginal, but not trivial, role in the battle. A contemporary map of the battle is adapted for the game. Unit scale: regimental, space: 300m per hex, time: 1-2 hours per game turn.
Piacenza 1746 has an innovatove system and great graphics. and deserves to be better known. Hopefully LYG's 20th Annivarsary promotion will help with that.
Europa Simulazioni are offering a 20% discount on Piacenza 1746 throughout the month of May. Simply use the Discount Code LYG20 on the Europa Simulazioni site.
As well as dscounting Piacenza 1746, the same core (LYG20) will also get you a 20% discount off Custoza, Fields of Doom.
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.
