Restocks coming soon - Memoir '44

20 Years of Epic Battles


Since its launch in 2004, Memoir '44 invites you to relive the key moments of World War II (landings on Normandy beaches, resistance in the Vercors, liberation of Paris…). Each scenario is designed to offer an immersive, fun, and educational experience.

Memoir '44 challenges you to a duel of tactics! In each scenario, you will alternate between playing both armies. Each game places you in historically imbalanced situations, reflecting the reality of the battles of that time. Move your troops (180 figurines!) across the board to break through the opponent's lines!

White Dwarf 501 – Reality Warping Boarding Actions Missions, Board Building Advice, and More

The June issue of White Dwarf is almost with us, which means we’re about to do our monthly flick through the pages to pick out all the best bits. Before that though, here’s a video on what you can expect from White Dwarf as a new reader.


Issue 501 starts with a trip into the Bunker to catch up on what’s been going on. There are two new Scenarios of the Month to try out, plus rules taking the fight to sandblasted deserts in Kill Team.


There are plenty more rules to dig into, with reality rift rules for use in a Boarding Action that let you shoot around corners in six exciting missions that are more mind-bending puzzles than out-and-out firefights.

For those of you braving the Gnarlwood, there are new rules for fighting in the deepest depths, where the trees are hungrier than ever, and lore, quests, and traits for the Pyregheists and Ydrilan Riverblades.


If lore is what you’re into, there’s the final part of the chronologically compromised Tempus Purgatus story, an update on how the forces of Chaos are getting on over in the Nephilim Anomaly, and for fans of the Mortal Realms, there’s a short story featuring two brothers attempting to escape the vile Skaven.

Speaking of those nasty ratmen, Phil from the Warhammer Studio takes us on a reflective journey through the Era of the Beast, and a new instalment of Arks Arcana sets up the new stage of play in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and explores the aftermath of the Vermindoom.


In last month’s milestone issue, the massive Invasion of Samarkis Battle Report was spread across three simultaneous battlefields. It was a huge undertaking, and in this issue, the pair behind the breathtaking Makhis Cove board reveal how they made this show-stopping battlefield – which you can now play on at Warhammer World!


There is a generous helping of gorgeous miniatures, including an Ironjawz showcase, alongside hobby and tactics tutorials, and the first chapter of a new Horus Heresy campaign – the Raid on Ollanz-Mu.

Plus if you get your copy from us here at KD Games you will only pay £6

Yu-Gi-Oh - Post-Pre Release


This weekend we will be running the delayed Yu-Gi-Oh Prerelease event for the Rarity Collection 2. It will be held in the shop at 7pm on Saturday 8th June and should last around 3 hours. The event will cost £30 and will be a five pack draft event.


A Draft Format is where players sit at tables in a group of 4-8 players, depending on the number participating, with an equal number of unopened booster packs each. (in this case 5). When instructed by the Tournament Organizer, each player picks up 1 of their booster packs and opens it, then takes 1 of the cards and sets it face down in front of them to start a pile. After that, they pass the remaining cards to the left or right, dictated by the Tournament Organizer, pick up the cards passed to them by the player on their other side and select another card. This continues until all of the cards from each player's pack have been selected. Then each player opens the next pack and repeats, passing the cards in the opposite direction. Once all packs have been used up, players construct Decks on their own using only the cards they've selected.

When doing a Booster Draft, the following rules apply:
  • Players may not trade cards pulled in the Booster Draft until the tournament is over.
  • Decks must have a minimum of 20 cards. Maximum Deck size is only limited by the number of cards a player drafted.
  • Decks may contain more than 3 cards of the same name.
  • The Forbidden and Limited Lists used by the Advanced Format and Traditional Format are ignored.
  • Extra Decks can contain any number of Extra Deck monsters.
  • Any cards not used in a player's Main Deck or Extra Deck are placed in their Side Deck, which has no maximum.
