December, 2023
No new files and just a few links this month (due to the policy BlueHost has obliged us to implement). However, that doesn't mean there is no news.
I think I've identified a new host that we can move to in just under a year's time. I'm currently playing withthe site builder to be sure it meets our needs. Once we have done that, if suitable, we can start the long and arduous task of transfering content and creating the new links. I'll keep you posted as to how things are progressing with our monthly updates.
December brings our 20th Anniversary year to a close. Hopefully yoou've benefited from the various discounts offered, through the year, by our splendid sponsors. And don't forget, you can still benefit frome the 20% discount that Strategemata have generously had running throughout the year (see below).
And there is still the chance to take part in the LYG Anniversary Prize Draw (again, see below). So far (as of 27 Nov), 211 tickets have been allocated. So, with 3 prizes up for grabs, odds are far better than the Lottery .
The winning tickets will be drawn early in the New Year and will be announced as part of our January update.
And I'm excited to say that we have a new set of counters on offer, these are for Avalon Hill's Freedom in the Galaxy - check out the LYG Shop.
FOR THE NEXT 12-MONTHS (at least), we will only be accepting updates to existing files; we will not be uploading new content (our storage limits don't allow it). With Vassal and ZT we will continue to add cross-links to those platform's sites - but we won't be hosting new files that are available on those sites.
We know this isn't ideal, but it is better than LYG disappearing on November 1st - which seemed a very real possibility a couple of weeks ago.
The LYG Shop is open again!
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.
December's Promotions
UPDATE: C3i are closing off our 20th Anniversary year for us. From the 8th of December, the Discount Code LIMEY will get you a 20% discount off Poster,s Deluxe Games and Shirts.
LYG’s 20th Anniversary Prize Draw
As well as the promotions and offers from many of our sponsors, we are also running a Prize Draw. The draw will occur at the end of the year when the following prizes will be awarded and shipped, for free, anywhere in the world:
- A copy of Ken Demyen’s counters and map* for War of the Ring
- Any map** from our map selection
- Any three counter sheets from our counter selection.
Three names will be drawn, and these lucky winners will have the choice of the above prizes in the order drawn (i.e. the first drawn will have the choice of any one of the three prizes, the last drawn will have the one prize remaining).
Currently there are just 211 'tickets' in the 'hat'. So, the odds of you grabbing one of the three prizes is pretty good. And this is a great way of showing your support of LYG in these difficult times.
How do you enter?
There are 4 ways to enter:
- All current LYG Patron’s will automatically have their name entered
- Anyone making a donation to LYG, will have their name entered once per £5 donated
- All new Patron’s will have their names entered 5 times (in addition to the donation entries – see above)
- Anyone ordering from the LYG Shop will have their name entered once per order
The Small Print
* Paper map
** Single-sheet, standard sized, folded, paper map
- Shipping will include basic (£20) insurance. Higher insurance is available at cost
- Prizes can be upgraded or even changed to another product – subject to negotiation
- All winners will be notified by 31 Jan, 2024.
- LYG’s decision on the award of prizes is final and will not be subject to appeal.
- LYG accepts no responsibility for the promotions offered. Any dispute should be taken up directly with the company offering the promotion.
And finally...
My thanks as always to our sponsors, advertisers, contributors and visitors.
