My thanks to Rich for posting regarding LYG's March update - I was my usual tardy self

[limeyyank]

I was determined not to be so lax in posting an update here, this month. So, before announcing LYG's April update anywhere else, I am posting here first.

As with the last several months, and thanks to Rich, we have added a number of Zun Tzu files to those we host. You can get them here (on the ZT site) already of course. So, what might interest you more is the fact that, as for every month in 2023, we have great 20th Anniversary offers. For April we see the LYG Prize Draw and Strategemata discount joined by promotions from Lombardy Studios.

LYG October Update Complete

And there is so much to tell you about. We could almost justify a Newsletter, so I thought I'd cut and paste part of the homepage here:

The LYG Shop is open again!

And we've SLASHED the prices of our maps!!!

Thanks to everyone for their patience as we spent the Summer at out home in France. Unfortunately I don't have access to the equipment necessary to make counters whilst I am there; nor to the print shop that does our maps.

But we're now back in the UK again and so it is back to business as usual - or, actually, not a usual since, not only do we have some exciting new counter sets (including CAMPAIGN FOR NORTH AFRICA), but we're also going to be announcing an entirely new product line next month.

It is going to take a while to work through the backlog of map and counter orders we already have so your continued patience would be appreciated. However, get your orders to us and we'll get around to them just as soon as we can.

Additional good news is that we're likely to be closed for a (somewhat) shorter period next year as our plans are a little different for 2024. Sally and I will be celebrating 40 years of marriage and so we'll spend less time in France but enjoy a 'special' holiday later in the year. Crupes! I've just realised that LYG has been running for more than half of my married life!!!

And yet more good news... As per the heading above, we've slashed the prices of our paper and canvas maps. Our supplier has reduced their prices and so, naturally, we want to pass on the benefit. Take a look at the new prices.

Want more good news? Here it is: We can now offer PREMIUM COUNTERS using superior paper for heavier and thicker counters with more vibrant colours. There is a small premium to the cost too, but counters using the original paper also remain available.
We have another new promotion for October. This time Australian Design Group are offering a discount on their forthcoming NEW EDITION* of 7 Ages. This promotion is somewhat different to those we've had so far - as you'll see, on the LYG site

And we also have the continuing promotion from Strategemata, along with the LYG Prize Draw.

LYG's November Update is Complete - We're Still Here!

First off , my thanks to everyone that has offered support over this last month.

Secondly, as per the heading to the post, we're still here (there was always the chance that, despite upgrading the plan with BlueHost (spits), there may have been issues).

Thirdly, this month's update includes an important statement about the future of LYG, so I thought it worth posting here in full:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE FUTURE OF LYG

You hopefully read the update to last month's homepage stating that BlueHost, our hosting service, have done the dirty on us (and may other customers), by giving just 3 weeks notice of their intention to limit our storage.

This has had Natasha and I rushing around trying to identify a way forward. We think we have the solution. We're going to stay with BlueHost for one more year and have upgraded to a plan that allows us to at least maintain our current storage. We'll then use that year to hopefully move LYG onto another platform. This will involve a complete re-write of LYG (for various technical reasons) and it is unlikely that we will have all the current functionality on the new platform. However, hopefully we'll be able to continue to offer the download facility as well as uploading new files.

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.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone that offered support over the last few weeks be that advice, technical guidance, storage or financial donations. It has been humbling to see how many folk do value the site.

October wasn't the greatest month for other reasons too - including the fact that, having just re-opened the LYG shop following our sojourn in France, I then had to place the taking of new counter orders on hold - as I was being inundated (I know, a nice problem to have). Anyhow, I'm pleased to say that the backlog of orders have been cleared and the influx of new orders now appears to be at a manageable level. So, it is business as usual - get those orders in.
