ALL SERGEANT COLORS ARE NOW BACK IN STOCK!
We have finally received our restock on all colors including Chaos Pink, which is now a slightly deeper and richer pink than the first production run. Both the new Tactical Orange and Chaos Pink are limited production runs and are sure to sell out quickly so make sure to order yours today.
CUSTOMER REVIEW OF THE APC MINIATURE STORAGE BOX
If you are thinking about getting an APC or are on the fence, check out the informative review on the APC posted by one of our customers.
STOCK LEVELS UPDATE
Unfortunately there has been some further delay with the over seas shipment of all our restocks. We still don't have any details on why, but just that everything is expected to arrive in the first week of February now. We suspect that there are some customs delays still piled up from the holiday season, but we can only speculate at this point.
We did receive a small airmail shipment in December that allowed us to restock enough of the Chaos Pink to get our Breast Cancer prize support out. We also had a small amount of Gun Metal and Army Green bags that went immediately to our distributor.
As of right now we have some Army Green available and plenty of APCs. I also just want to give a quick thanks to our customers and supports for your patience.
STOCK LEVELS UPDATE November 30, 2011
We have received some news that the restocks have been delayed a bit more till January, but we are working on trying to get some Chaos Pink airmailed to us hopefully before Christmas. The moment we get them in, we will send a note out to everyone who has inquired about it and to our normal media outlets as well as the web site here of course. Have a happy holidays.
NEW PRODUCT RELEASE: THE APC
The APC is a new product released today for those miniature gamers who want to safely store their miniatures, but are on a budget. The APC is a bare bones style case that can be used for your daily transport to your local store or as a cheap solution for long time storage in your closet. This product is also great for commission miniature painters to ship out finished minis. Just tape the edge, slap a mailing label on it, and ship it.
The APC features a white clamshell style, finished, cardboard box that measures 19"x9"x2" on the inside. It comes with a charcoal colored pick-n-pluck style foam tray that has an attached foam padding at the bottom and a loose fitting foam topper. The actual depth of the foam tray will allow you to store miniatures up to 1.75" deep.
UPFATE ON STOCK LEVELS July 28,2011
As you can see our stock levels are getting low. As of today we are out of Gun Metal Gray on our web site. Currently the only way to get Gun Metal Gray is to check your local gaming store or to have your local store owner order from our distributor PHD. I suspect the stock level for Gun Metal Gray at our distributor will only last until the end of August. The good news is that we have a production run currently in progress to restock Army Green, Gun Metal Gray, and everyone's favorite, Chaos Pink.
We had hoped to time our production run so that there would be no outage of products for our customers and retailers alike, but this year brings some new challenges with overseas production like labor shortages, shipping demands, the value of the US dollar and a host of other economic factors, so it will unfortunately take a little longer than normal. Our restocks should arrive late October or Early November. We thank everyone for their continued support so that we can make quality products. Stay tuned for some new products announcements coming up in August.
UPFATE ON GUN METAL GRAY BAGS August 26,2011
We have come into some stock of Gun Metal Gray Sergeant bags. However stock is limited. There are only about a dozen left through the web site. Once those are gone, it will be a few months before they are back in stock. If you have any questions, please send us an email. Thanks.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS SUPPORT THANKS Nov 1, 2010
During the month of October, Portable Warfare donated the remaining inventory of the limited run Chaos Pink Sergeant bags to support breast cancer awareness. I wanted to extend a quick thank you to Breast Cancer Brawl (BCB) and all the independant reatilers who held tournaments to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. The Chaos Pink Sergeant bag was very well received at all of these events and I regret that we did not have enough bags to accomodate all the prize support requests.

PORTABLE WARFARE UNVEILS GAMING STORAGE CASES
ORLANDO, Fla. (September 9, 2010) – Portable Warfare, an innovator in organization solutions for tabletop gamers and modelers, today introduced a new case to protect and transport tabletop gaming miniatures, rule books and other gaming accessories.
The new Sergeant™ line, with prices starting under $40, offers sleek designs and secure construction to ensure valued gaming equipment stays safe while looking polished. Each bag provides full-featured functionality: rugged exteriors designed to survive the elements and tests of travel, and smartly-designed zippers for fast access. Optional customizable pick-and-pluck foam trays store a variety of miniatures. This collection is perfect for the miniature gaming enthusiast seeking appealing cases that provide quick access and protection.
With a variety of gamer-friendly pockets and pouches, the Sergeant™ collection comes in Army Green, Gun Metal Gray and Chaos Pink and can be purchased with or without Blü foam.
“Thought by most gamers to be the finest trays in the industry, Blü foam trays are built with the same philosophy as Portable Warfare products,” said Chris Strecker, CEO of Portable Warfare. “It’s all about the gamer.”
When used, in soft sided miniature cases like the Sergeant™, the distinctive blue padding gives the overall tray plenty of firmness to support heavy metal miniatures, but is also soft enough to offer optimum protection. Blü foam rounded corners fit well and are easily removable.
“Understanding the needs of real gamers is critical in developing innovative, high-quality organization solutions,” said Strecker. “As gamers ourselves, we understand that cases must be affordable, functional, durable, and visually appealing. We do extensive field testing in a real gaming environment with active gamers before a product gets the Portable Warfare seal of approval.”
