    We are into August, and that means things are heating up both outside and in the news space. We’ve got the final house of the USMC Kickstarter, we’ve got releases, previews and more. We even have the first hints for some hard plastic figures coming to the Ultramodern space. Read on for more!

  • The News Stand: 05/08/2025

    Start of the new month and it’s strangely quieter than most weeks here on The News Stand (your main source for Ultramodern Wargaming News). I’m going to assume that most people are out and about enjoying the summer, rather than sitting inside and planning the next military campaign. However, we still have plenty to look…

  • The News Stand: 29/07/2025

    It’s the end of the month, so it’s time for a quick cleanup.

  • The News Stand: 24/06/2025

    We’re getting close to the end of the month, and with a Kickstarter Double Bill coming in July, the previews section is looking pretty full of US Army stuff. But we have content from others, including a massive drop from Spectre’s Patreon. Also, Desk-Ops is releasing vehicles and streaming? Read on to find out more!

  • The News Stand: 17/06/2025

    So this week’s News Stand is going to be a little bit truncated. I’m currently elbow deep in Broken Arrow, a game that fully releases on Thursday and lets you play with all the toys of an Ultramodern battlefield (as well as some prototypes, such as my beloved Comanche). So, as I take a break…

  • The News Stand: 10/06/2025

    June is into its second week, which means it’s the perfect time to get an update of what’s going on in the Ultramodern world. This week? It’s a heck of a lot of previews from all the usual suspects, as well as the Patreon release for Combat Octopus and Modern Miniatures.
