1-195520 BORODINO '41 - WWII Eastern Front Battle for the Moscow Highway October 11-18, 1941. Based on the award winning Black Sea Black Death game system, Borodino '41 uses a map scale of 800 meters (one half mile) per hex, three or four impulses per daily turn, with infantry battalions and tanks and anti-tank guns by company (battery). The units are played mostly face down, with dummies, to recreate the Fog of War. Combat involves fire, and assault, which are influenced by troop morale, terrain effects, armor support, engineers, and various other specialized units. Included are some of the best troops of both sides, as well as Soviet reserve infantry, and tanks ranging from Pzkpfw IIIs and IVs, BT-7s, T-26s, T-34s, a few KV-1s, amphibious T-38s, and even a T-28 company without engines!

The game uses an updated version of the Black Sea system, with relatively little chrome and a high level of excitement. The impulse based game system keeps both players actively involved. Localized swings in initiative are common, and the situation presents many counterattack options for the Soviet player, even though he is on the operational defensive. 1 vol, 1 pgs 2011 US, CLASH OF ARMS

1-218120 LA BATAILLE DE LUTZEN: 1813 In May of 1813, Napoleon began the campaign for Germany with a bang - as was his custom. The Prussian and Russian armies attempted to ambush the French main army strung out in road march. Their approach went undetected and they are able to close within two miles. In fact, not until the moment of their assault do the French become aware of them.

But, instead of the expected weak flank guard, they are met by the strong divisions of Souham and Girard and by mid-afternoon, Napoleon and 100,000 French and their allies have swarmed to their support. The battle raged in ever-mounting fury until night finally brought an end to the slaughter. The first major battle of the 1813 campaign ends with thousands of dead and wounded and with the Russian and Prussian armies in full retreat.

La Bataille de Lutzen simulates the first major clash of Napoleon's 1813 campaign. Lacking adequate cavalry and handicapped by a large number of raw recruits, the French player must rapidly consolidate his scattered forces to counter the sudden Allied attack. As the player commanding the Allied forces, you must deal the French a decisive blow before Napoleon can react and bring reinforcements to bear.

Lutzen is ideal for multiple players or solitaire study. Each turn represents 20 minutes of real time, and each hex equals 100 meters. The rules are the Lutzen version of the award winning system developed by the Marshall Enterprises Household and cover the full range of features characteristic of the Napoleonic battlefield. Players are faced with the same tactical dilemmas their historical counterparts faced, though play balance depends upon their own skill.

1-218130 LA BATAILLE DE DRESDE: 1813 1813, Austria ends its neutrality and enters the VIth Coalition against France. After joining contingents of the Russian and Prussian armies this new army marches north out of Bohemia nearly 200,000 strong. The army marches along the west bank of the Elbe into Saxony, its large lumbering columns stretched across the Erz mountains.

From where he has been pursuing enemy forces to the east, Napoleon sees this new threat aimed at his line of communications and the city of Dresden, the main supply depot for his army. Only a single French Corps stands in its way. Outnumbered nearly ten-to-one, it cannot hold. In a flurry of orders Napoleon redirects his guard and several corps to march to its rescue.

La Bataille de Dresde details the titanic battle that ensued on August 25th and raged through the 27th. Up to 4 players control the Prussian, Austrian and Russian forces commanded by Feldmarschall Carl zu Schwarzenberg, while up to a further four command such French personages as Marshals Ney, Marmont, Mortier, Victor, St. Cyr... or Napoleon, himself. Every battalion of infantry, squadron of cavalry or battery of artillery that was present at the battle is included... and are at their command.

1-930285 S&T 285 DUEL ON THE STEPPE 1943 Duel on the Steppe is a simulation of the Winter Campaign in the Ukraine, from 29 January to 17 March, 1943. Known as Operation Star and Gallop, the Soviets arrayed their incredible numerical advantage against some of the best units in the German army.

This game uses the same rules system as Sedan: The Decisive Battle for France, May 1940 (World at War # 24), and Tobruk: Operation Crusader, Nov-Dec, 1941 (Strategy & Tactics # 278), but is modified appropriate to the scale and the theater. Here, the Soviets have air superiority, albeit somewhat uncoordinated.

Duel on the Steppe includes one counter sheet (228 counters), and one map of the Ukraine area of the Soviet Union (approximately 260 miles, or about 418 kilometers) with each hex representing about 6.5 miles (about 10 kilometers). Unit sizes vary from kampfgruppes to corps, the latter which can be broken down into smaller formations for more operational flexibility, or simply to absorb casualties.

1-930310 STRATEGY & TACTICS # 310; American Civil War This ACW game gives players a chance to change the historical outcome. The Confederate player must maintain a viable economic and political core, while the Union player attempts to divide and conquer the southern states. Victory is checked every turn: Union progress can have political consequences or possibly end the game if either player fails to achieve expectations.

During each quarterly turns, players recruit additional forces, then conduct a pair of impulses. During each impulse, each player moves forces and fight battles. Movement rates are high, but enemy forces can react by retreating, blocking further movement, or counterattacking. Battles are decided by a combination of good leaders and relative strength. The Confederacy starts with a decided advantage in leadership. Union leaders appear only after fighting battles: the Union player may have to lose a few battles to get the leaders needed to win the war.

1-930313 STRATEGY & TACTICS # 313: Windhoek: SW Africa 1914-15 Windhoek: The Campaign in German Southwest Africa, 1914-15 is a wargame of the campaign in which British Empire forces, mainly from the Union of South Africa, conquered the German colony of Southwest Africa. In the original campaign, the British won within 10 months, but the campaign could have gone different, as von Lettow Vorbeck demonstrated in German East Africa.

This is a two-player game, in which one side commands the Germans, and the other Allied forces (including South Africa, British and Portuguese colonial). The Allied player must win the game quickly, while the Germans win by delaying the Allies beyond the historical time frame. The central game mechanism is Action Points (AP). These are a quantification of each sides command and logistical capabilities. Players expend AP to recruit units and conduct various military operations. On the map each hex represents approximately 25 miles.

1-930314 STRATEGY & TACTICS # 314: Last Stand Isandlwana Last Stand at Isandlwana, 22 January 1879 is a two-player tactical wargame of low-intermediate complexity simulating the last 90 to 240 minutes of that infamous and legendary battle of the Anglo-Zulu War. The Zulu player is on the offensive, attempting to wipe out the entire British force on the map as quickly as possible. The British is attempting to win by having some remnant hold out longer than occurred historically or, alternatively, by having some portion of his command escape off the map and get back to relative safety at Roarke's drift. Solitaire-play is easily doable.

Each game turn of Last Stand is equal to five to 20 minutes of real time, depending on the tempo of action in each turn. Each hexagon on the map represents 217 yards (200 meters) from side to opposite side. There are 176 5/8-inch counters with each British unit-counter representing a company or a 'detachment' of infantry. On the Zulu side, they individual units each represent temporary battlefield agglomerations of the about 100 to 200 warriors.

1-938025 STRATEGY & TACTICS QUARTERLY #25:The Fall Of Rome The Fall of Rome: New Look. One of the most momentous events in history is the Fall of Rome, usually slated as occurring in the year AD 476. But what exactly happened? Why did the Roman state, which stood for a thousand years, collapse in the face of a series of incursions from over the Rhine and Danube? This issue will explore a wide range of factors. The state of the Roman army in the fifth century AD was potentially a very effective force with an expanded cavalry army. The political structure of the Empire will be examined with the division between east and west, the stratification into a military caste system, and the increasing deals with invaders who were given their own kingdoms within the borders of the empire. Also, great leaders like Stilicho and Aetius, and even emperors such as Honorius (often blamed for the disasters of the early 5th century) and Zeno whose Eastern Empire survived the collapse in the West 1 vol, 116 pgs 2024 US, DECISION GAMES

Hard fought military operations such as the Wilderness (May 5-6), Spotsylvania (May 7-12), the North Anna (May 13-25), and Cold Harbor (May 26-3) traced the bloody path that would ultimately lead Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia to defend the Confederate capital of Richmond, thus forfeiting the advantage of maneuver to counter the Army of the Potomac's superiority in numbers and material. 1 vol, 116 pgs 2024 US, DECISION GAMES

1-956049 WORLD AT WAR # 49: Gertrud 42 Operation Gertrud: The German Invasion of Turkey is a speculative two-player wargame about a German invasion of Turkey during World War II. The historical course of events during World War II precluded any likelihood that the Germans would invade their erstwhile ally, it is conceivable that a different turn of events could have precipitated a German blitzkrieg into Turkey.

The Turks were concerned about this possibility and they endeavored to remain neutral during the war. Unlike World War I, the Turks could not hope to hold Istanbul in the event of a war, and any incursion by one side (Axis or Allied) would certainly invite an incursion by the other. The Turks were most concerned about Soviets, but if Hitler had conceived a notion of invading Turkey, the Germans' most daunting challenge would be the Allied response, not necessarily the Turkish Army.

The Turks had been underestimated during the previous world war, and so it's anyone's guess how well they could have faced up to the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe.

1-956050 WORLD AT WAR # 50: Zhukov's War Covers the pivotal middle period of the titanic struggle between Hitler's Germany and Stalin's USSR, from July 1942 - July 1943. Strategic options abound for both players; victory goes to the one best able to carry out the chosen strategy, while maintaining a reserve to contain sudden enemy action or exploit an opportunity.

The map covers the eastern front from Leningrad to the Sea of Azov at 20 miles per hex. Turns cover one month each for most of the year, two months during winter. Most units are Soviet armies and German divisions, plus a few Axis satellite corps. The turn sequence is built around the random drawing of chits to determine which player moves. Each chit drawn allows a player to both move and attack, but with a twist. One side allows the player to move first, then attack, the other side flips the sequence.

There are two twists to the mechanism. First, chits come in several varieties, with differing penalties or bonuses depending on the chit and the side chosen. Second, during certain turns, one player or the other gets bonuses, allowing selection of the first chit to open the action, and providing a different mix of chits reflecting the overall situation at that point in the war. Victory may occur at one of three times during the game; the end of the first German offensive, the end of the Soviet winter counteroffensive, and finally the end of the game, after the final German summer offensive.

The North Vietnamese player must hold the city for as long as possible, to create a media event and lay the groundwork for a new revolutionary government.

The South Vietnamese and American player must retake Hue before this process can advance too far, but not also jeopardize their own political sensitivities from casualties and heavy-handedness.

The map covers an area of 13 square kilometers (approximately 5 square miles). Each turn represents four to five days. Units represent platoon/detachment to battalion sized units.

Among other things, the game presumes a breakdown in Russian Chinese relations leading to open belligerency. Units represent operational task forces of corps or reinforced size; special forces; airpower; and cyberwar. Additionally, paramilitary forces play a significant role in the game rules. The objective of each player is to seize critical resource, industrial, and communications centers, thereby gaining control of the Far East. Each hex on the map represents 100 kilometers from side to side. Each turn of play represents anything from three days of intense combat to a couple weeks of refitting. Ground units represent mostly corps sized task forces. Special forces units are regiments, brigades or groupings of cadres.

After the first ethnic clashes between Armenians and Azeri, during the death throes of the Soviet Union, Nagorno-Karabakh declared independence from Azerbaijan. The Azeri launched an ethnic cleansing campaign. Faced with annihilation, the Armenians resisted and fought back. The Armenian player must fight a numerically superior foe but he has the advantage of interior lines and a unified command. The AZ player has a greater supply of former Red Army weapons and ammunition but must fight not only the Armenians but also political infighting and low morale. Each hexagon encompasses about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). Units of maneuver are battalions. There are nine game turns each representing three months.

1-ATO049 AGAINST THE ODDS # 49: A Gate of Hell (wargame) Magazine includes ACW wargame A Gate of Hell.

During the summer of 1863, in the aftermath of the Gettysburg and Vicksburg campaigns, battles on land and sea were fought over control of the birthplace of the Confederacy, Charleston, South Carolina. A Union victory here would send an unmistakable signal to the states in rebellion as well as the rest of the world that the Confederacy's cause was lost and further fighting a waste of lives and effort.

A Confederate victory in the face of the tremendous Union host, that included every Union Ironclad on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, as well as some of the most seasoned regiments that numbered among them the first formations of all Black soldiers (free US citizens as well as former slaves), would signify the war would go on and that two nations, not one, could be the result of this 'second' American Revolution.

A Gate of Hell uses an interactive design to portray this decisive battle of the American Civil War. Players use military support points (MSPs), representing the logistical and political support for the campaign, to mobilize and support their forces (ground and naval) on one of the most inhospitable battlegrounds of the war. Both sides have a variety of military assets to deploy, but the planning and effective use of MSPs throughout the game will determine in large measure who is the victor.

Units represent mostly regiments for the ground units, and each ironclad for the naval units. All of the famous batteries and forts, including Sumter and Wagner, are portrayed.

This issue also features an extra game, All or Nothing. By late October of 1777, the British had repulsed the American attack at Germantown, and were occupying Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. American forces still occupied two forts south of the city, blocking the only viable British supply line out to sea via the Delaware River. The British made plans to eliminate these two redoubts.... Can you as the American player hold off the British attack on Fort Mercer? The Pennsylvania State Navy, proud but inexperienced, stands ready to assist. Will you as the Hessian player take the Rebel strong- hold to really secure Britain's grip on the American capital, avenge the defeat at Trenton last year, and perhaps end the rebellion once and for all? 1 vol, 60 pgs 2019 US, AGAINST THE ODDS

1-ATO050 AGAINST THE ODDS #50: Die Atombombe Magazine includes Die Atombombe -- a card game for 2 to 5 players, each representing a faction inside German government, industry, or military circles that sought use research institutes to start work on a nuclear program. Acting through the Director of each center, players will need to size matters up, recruit other scientists, acquire scarce resources, (plus spy on their rivals, this is the Third Reich remember) and certainly go all out if they hope to develop atomic weapons.

Progress is slow at first - the Russians are far away and the enormity of the effort seems clear early on. And there are always other weapons more desperately needed now. As the course of the war darkens for Germany, players may see more official support being thrown their way, or engage in fruitless bickering among themselves over the best theories and resources required to succeed. Their finest scientists may even be drafted to serve as simple soldiers at the front!
Fast and quick playing, Die Atombombe shows just how easy it was to be bewitched by the idea, and how hard it really was to mount an effective nuclear program under the increasing rain of Allied bombs and the Soviet menace looming to the east.

In late 1941 with senior officials across Germany becoming increasingly aware that Operation Barbarossa would fail somewhere short of Moscow. Many worriedly began looking for an 'out.' Some, like Ernst Udet, head of Luftwaffe Development, and Walter Borbet, a leading industrialist, shot themselves over the shock of the failure. Others, like General Fromm, in charge of the Army Weapons Office, turned their attention to an extraordinary proposal by Germany's leading physicists to unlock the secrets of the atom and provide limitless power, and a possible war-winning explosive device, the atomic bomb. 1 vol, 60 pgs 2020 US, AGAINST THE ODDS

Communist movements have sprung up throughout Europe. Trotsky, Lenin and Stalin plan to blast through Poland in order to support the red revolutions in Germany, France and England.

To simulate the tension of the era due to fog of war, players alternate placing secret orders on their armies in order to bluff, mislead and misdirect their opponents. These concealed orders make it difficult to determine an opponent's plans and are used to hide a player's true intentions and objectives. Players then reveal and resolve the issued orders. They can then disrupt their opponent's moves, cut off supply, and much more.

1-COM1027 ON TO PARIS! : The Franco-Prussian War Uses a wargame system adapted from Victory Games' The Civil War to simulate the grand events of the Franco-Prussian war (1870-71) and challenge players to control the leadership, organization, and military operations of Armies and Corps during the later 19th century.

The Franco-Prussian war was fought using Napoleonic tactics but with weapons of almost WWI lethality that included breech loading rifles, artillery and an early version of the machine gun. The Franco-Prussian war developed many key concepts for the control and movement of large formations in warfare as well as tactical combat.

At a time when the French army was considered the best in the world, the armies of Prussia and her German allies invaded France and in less than three months defeated the armies of Napoleon III. Despite German success, the French refused to surrender and as a result German forces laid siege to the French capital. For five long months, Paris, a city of about two million inhabitants, was starved into submission while surrounded by German armies that had to maintain a long supply line back to Germany, all the time fending off desperate French attempts to break the siege. 1 vol, 1 pgs 2017 US, COMPASS GAMES

One player controls the forces of Prussia and its allies, to include the young Kingdom of Italy and the other player controls the forces of Austria and its German Confederation allies.

Using a shared deck of 55 Operations Cards, each player makes decisions concerning the deployment, combat, and political-military operations in support of his forces and his general strategy. Orders of battle include all the historic corps/divisions (with some brigade counters) and all major generals involved in the conflict.

The mapboard covers an area from Hamburg to Florence and Metz to Cracow. The system includes unique mobilization rules that reflect the difficulties of mobilizing for war while attempting to garner as many victory points before war is actually declared. Once war is declared, you must fight with the forces mobilized so shrewd judgment is required as to what to mobilize, where those forces will operate and who commands them. Always waiting in the wings is the French 2nd Empire under Napoleon III, prepared to intervene if neither side appears able to clinch a quick and decisive victory.

Other features include cavalry superiority, railroads, Prussia's mobilization advantage and coordinated attacks. 1866 includes two scenarios, the Mobilization to War scenario (the Campaign scenario) and the Seven Weeks War scenario (covering the post mobilization situation). 1 vol, 1 pgs 2017 US, COMPASS GAMES

1-COM1070 NIGHTFIGTHER ACE: Solitaire Air Defense Over Germany A solitaire, tactical level game -- based on the popular, action-packed Hunters game system -- places you in command of a German Nightfighter during World War II. Each turn consists of several days, during which a combat mission will be flown from one of many bases in Europe, attempting to intercept incoming British Bombers and increase your prestige, earn skills, and rise in rank through promotion and awards.

The objective of the game is to conduct numerous sorties in the role of a German Nightfighter pilot and rack up kills. Pilots may use the experience gained to improve their odds of success by purchasing Major and Minor skills. As their prestige increases, they may request a transfer to other nightfighter bases in an attempt to get 'closer to the action' or request a newer type of nightfighter. Awards and ace status help to narrate the player's eventual goal - to become the top nightfighter ace of the war.

The system is packed with rich technical detail but without the complexity to capture the key historical facets of the night bombing campaign over Germany. In terms of nightfighters alone, there are 32 nightfighter models available to pilot. The families of nightfighters include: Bf110 (10 aircraft), Ju88 (5 aircraft), Do 215/217 (6 aircraft), He219 (10 aircraft), and Ta154 (1 aircraft).

For each nightfighter, you will be tracking the date of availability, speed, area of operations based on originating base, individual weapon systems, electronic systems, damage, and crew status.

1-DG01018 D-DAY AT OMAHA BEACH: 2nd Edition D-Day at Omaha Beach (Re-print) recreates America's most bloody and heroic day of World War II. In this solitaire game from the designer of the solo classics RAF and Ambush, you control the forces of the US 1st and 29th Divisions landing under fire on the Normandy shore, and struggling desperately to establish a viable beachhead. The game is also great for two players playing cooperatively, each controlling one US division.

US units include assault infantry, amphibious tanks, artillery, engineers and HQs. The game system controls the hidden German defenders in Widerstandsnest resistance points on the bluffs overlooking the beaches. US forces that manage to break through the deadly coastal defenses and reach the high ground must then contend with German mobile reinforcements in the bewildering hedgerows of Normandy's bocage. An innovative diceless combat system highlights unknown enemy deployments and the importance of utilizing the right weapons and tactics.

Event cards keep the action flowing and the rules simple, while controlling German strategy and introducing extensive historical detail. The game includes amphibious landings, German artillery and rocket barrages, US naval bombardment, tides, engineer operations, and intangibles such as US leadership under fire and the initiative of the American GIs.

Scenarios: The First Waves (two to three hour playtime) introduces the basics of the game in a recreation of the initial assault. Beyond the Beach (four to five hours) picks up on the high ground at 10:00 a.m. and adds rules for German tactics. D-Day at Omaha Beach (seven hours) covers the entire day, from 6:15 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Optional rules explore what-ifs, such as more pre-invasion bombardment or the arrival of German armor.

Game Scale: Each turn equals 15 minutes in the basic game, 30 in the extended game; Units are companies for both sides; Map: each hex equals 275 yards (250 meters).

1-DG1631 MASURIA: Winter Battle 1915 After the Tannenberg campaign of August-September 1914, East Prussia became a strategic backwater as both sides focused their efforts in Poland. But the Russian threat remained, and the following winter the Germans set about cleaning up their northern flank. A massive attack on the open right flank of the Russian Tenth Army sent it reeling; only the sacrifice of an entire corps in the Augustowo Forest enabled it to escape.

Masuria uses a modification of the Fire & Movement game system. Developed to portray the mechanized battlefields of a later generation, F&M stresses the use of rapidly-concentrated fire support to generate breakthroughs, followed by a rapid penetration by mobile reserves. In 1915, although railroads allowed the rapid shifting of forces on a large scale, no one moved faster than a man on foot on the battlefield, making exploitation ineffective.

However, here both players have hidden movement, allowing them to concentrate in unexpected locations to surround and destroy isolated enemy units. The clumsy and inflexible fire support is represented by the artillery brigades available to division and corps commanders. It must be brought to the point of decision, then supplied to give it the firepower to affect the fighting.

The historical outcome at Masuria was the clearing of the East Prussian border. It might have gone differently; Russian reserves were available, and the German forces were a hodge-podge of units of widely varying quality. Both sides have a number of options to turn the fortunes of the campaign. The player who makes the better choices, and backs his strategy to the hilt, will emerge the victor.

1-DG1632 TANNENBERG: East Prussia, August 1914 In August 1914, two Russian armies, Rennenkampf's First and Samsonov's Second, invaded the German province of East Prussia. The lone German army there, Hindenburg's Eighth, had to rely on interior lines and railroads to concentrate against each Russian army in turn. This game focuses on the southern half of the campaign, with the northern half factored into the victory conditions. Those victory conditions vary with the strategic options chosen by each player so neither knows the other's intent.

Tannenberg uses a modification of the Fire & Movement game system. Developed to portray the mechanized battlefields of a later generation, F&M stresses the use of rapidly-concentrated fire support to generate breakthroughs, followed by a rapid penetration by mobile reserves. In 1914, although railroads allowed the rapid shifting of forces on a large scale, no one moved faster than a man on foot on the battlefield, making exploitation ineffective.

1-DG1633 SUEZ 1916: The Ottoman Strike The Suez Canal was essential to British strategic communications and trade in the Great War, as well as being an important political symbol. In August of 1916, the Ottoman Empire sent an expeditionary force, which included contingents of Germans and Austro-Hungarians, against the canal. While the British were expecting an attack, the Ottomans gained tactical surprise by attacking at night. If the Ottoman attack had succeeded, Britain's prestige and warmaking capacity would be severely damaged.

Suez 1916 uses the Fire & Movement system. The movement and combat systems are designed around the realities of mechanized warfare, giving motorized and/or specially-trained units clear advantages. Players can augment units at the instant of combat with support fire, provided by weapons ranging from mortars through cannon and light ground attack aircraft to heavy bombers. A seemingly predictable assault can be overturned at the last minute by heavy defending fires, while even small units may develop tremendous offensive punch with the assistance of a heavy bombardment. Winning the battle is a matter of maneuver, firepower and asset management.

The historical battle was a touch-and-go affair, ending with the British pushing the Turks just far enough to keep the canal safe. The British have the stronger force, but the Central Powers has the advantages of surprise, initiative, and strong artillery support. The player who best utilizes his strengths and is prepared to capitalize on opportunities will prevail.

1-DG1634 GAZA 1917: Gateway to Jerusalem By early 1917 British Empire forces had pushed the Ottoman Turks out of the Sinai to a line near Gaza. If the British could break that line, it would open the road to Jerusalem, and after that Damascus. A hastily prepared attack in March was repulsed. After a month spent bringing forward artillery and supplies, the British were ready to try again, going over the top on 17 April.

Gaza 1917 uses the Fire & Movement system. The movement and combat systems are designed around the realities of mechanized warfare, giving motorized and/or specially-trained units clear advantages.

Winning the battle is a matter of maneuver, firepower and asset management.

Historically, the Turks eked out a victory, but it was a close call. In this game, the British have numbers, quality, and firepower on their side, while the Ottomans have excellent defensive positions, superior leadership, and time. The player who best utilizes his strengths and is prepared to capitalize on opportunities will prevail.

1-DG1635 SHANGHAI INCIDENT: Japan vs. China A faction of the Japanese military had been looking for an excuse to extend Japanese control deeper into the Chinese mainland. When several Chinese monks were beaten, this faction paid thugs to fan anti-Japanese activities in the Chinese sector of Shanghai. Seizing the 'opportunity,' a small force of naval infantry invaded Chapei, the all-Chinese northern section of the city of Shanghai. The Japanese had not counted on the quick reaction and effective fighting of the Nationalist Chinese forces from nearby Nanjing.

The initial Japanese thrust was thrown back quickly. It took repeated reinforcements over the next five weeks for the Japanese to push the Chinese out of the city and away from the Huangpo and Yangtze Rivers. Shanghai would become a major springboard for further Japanese advances, but the battle had taken its toll. This game covers those five weeks of fighting.

Shanghai Incident uses the Fire & Movement system designed around the realities of mechanized warfare, giving motorized and/or specially-trained units clear advantages. Players can augment units at the instant of combat with support fire, provided by weapons ranging from mortars through cannon and light ground attack aircraft to heavy bombers. A seemingly predictable assault can be overturned at the last minute by heavy defending fires, while even small units may develop tremendous offensive punch with the assistance of a heavy bombardment. Winning the battle is a matter of maneuver, firepower and asset management.

The Japanese military has greater overall skill and firepower, although the Chinese have two German-trained divisions. Both players have manpower limitations that are eased only when the Japanese player calls a pause to his offensive. Both sides therefore have to weigh time and space against numbers. The player who strikes the best balance will emerge the victor.

1-DG1636 EL ALAMEIN: Wargame In August 1942, Erwin Rommel, the 'Desert Fox,' had just completed his masterpiece of the desert war, breaking the British Eighth Army at Gazala, capturing Tobruk, and driving deep into Egypt. The British reformed near El Alamein, just 90 miles from Alexandria.

After the repulse of a hasty attack in mid-July, Rommel orchestrated a more careful assault for the end of the month. His mobile troops were to swing wide into the desert to flank the British line and unhinge it. Eighth Army was waiting, forewarned by ULTRA intercepts. Its new commander, Bernard Montgomery, arrayed his armor along the ridge of Alam el Halfa. The German assault would pit the tactical finesse of Afrika Korps against greater numbers of tanks and guns. A German victory might complete the clearance of North Africa; a British victory could spell the end of Afrika Korps.

1-DG1716 MIG ALLEY: Air War Over Korea 1951 MiG Alley is a two-player game covering the air battles over North Korea in 1951. One player controls the UN forces and must carry out a series of bombing raids to knock out key targets in North Korea. The other player controls the communist forces, including masses of the new MiG-15 jet fighters, and attempts to inflict prohibitive losses on the UN.

The game uses the Air Wars series rules. Aircraft are rated according to historical type. Fuel consumption is factored into the plane types, so a player must manage the available forces to ensure enough combat power is ready when needed. Each player has a unique set of campaign cards generating movement, combat bonuses, historical events, and reinforcements. Playing the right card at the right time is crucial to winning.

1-DG1717 SUEZ 1956: Anglo-French Intervention Suez 1956 places you in command of British, French, and Israeli forces in Operation Musketeer, the invasion of Egypt. The historical objective was to regain control of the Suez Canal and potentially remove Egypt's President Nasser. Your mission is to achieve those objectives while avoiding the political debacle that marred the actual event.

The game uses the Cold War Blitz series rules, a solitaire game system. You command the allied units, and have a deck of cards to enhance your unit capabilities. A second deck of cards, drawn randomly one at a time, controls Egyptian (OPFOR) activities. Combat is resolved with a quasi-tactical system with opposing units firing at one another.

The historical campaign was something of a race against time as the US high command feared that the North Vietnamese were going to attempt to overrun the base. All resources put into the Khe Sanh fight, however, were subtracted from those available to deal with the Tet Offensive elsewhere. Your mission is to extract maximum communist losses while minimizing the allied effort.

1-DG1721 MANSFIELD: Crisis in the Pine Barrens In early 1864, Union Gen. Nathaniel Banks led a small army up Louisiana's Red River. His objective, in conjunction with an overland campaign through Arkansas, was the Confederate Trans-Mississippi capital at Shreveport. Poor coordination of the two columns enabled the Confederates to concentrate their slender resources against each in turn. Banks was first, and in early April his spearhead was hit near the crossroads of Mansfield. Historically, the Union forces, strung out on the march, were routed piecemeal, but the battle could have gone the other way.

Mansfield uses the simplified QuickPlay version of the Musket & Saber system of warfare during the muzzle-loading era. Combat is based on unit quality rather than raw numbers, and rewards use of historical tactics. All units are susceptible to rout when weakened, so players must maintain reserves. Leaders enhance unit capabilities. Winning the battle depends on deployment, thoughtful maneuver to concentrate at the key points, the proper coordination of arms, careful use of leaders and special units, and an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each army.

The Red Air Force challenged the Luftwaffe in a series of air battles over the Kuban Bridgehead in early 1943.

1-ATO036 Berg, Richard AGAINST THE ODDS #36 - Defeat into Victory This issue's unique offering begins with the end of the monsoon season in 1944, where the strategic situation in Burma had changed. While Japanese fortunes had declined precipitously elsewhere, the build-up in Allied forces along the Burma/India border did not go unnoticed.

Determined to pre-empt any Allied attack, the Japanese launched an offensive of their own in May, the largest they ever launched outside of China, against the Allied positions in and around Imphal and Kohima. The battles that raged among the jungles and mountainous hillsides of the Indian and Burma frontier, and the subsequent Allied victory that followed in July, marked a fundamental and permanent shift in the war.

The Allied offensive in March 1945 was one marked by extensive planning and preparation, as well as bold and daring maneuvers that not only took the Commonwealth and Indian forces across the Irrawaddy River to Rangoon, but crushed the defending Imperial Japanese Burma Area Army.

Defeat into Victory, by designer Paul Rohrbaugh, covers this neglected aspect of WWII history, using a very interactive and easy to play (chit-pull activation system) design. The game map stretches from Dimapur in the north to Rangoon in the south. Rules cover supply (a crucial aspect in terrain that was among the most inhospitable of the war), various types of combat (fire, maneuver and assault), as well as morale and leadership. Rules also include random events (that simulate the effects of battles and decisions by higher-ups elsewhere), weather, Japanese suicide tank attacks (human combat destruction squads) and changing war goals. 1 vol, 60 pgs 2012 US, AGAINST THE ODDS

1-ATO044 Berg, Richard AGAINST THE ODDS # 44: Vercingetorix His father's name was Celtillus, of a noble family and a chief of the Averni tribe of Gauls -- a people with a remarkably sophisticated civilization and tradition as warriors and craftsmen, but fiercely resistant toward having a ruler at beyond the tribal level. Celtillus tried to assert authority to organize and ally the disparate tribes against Roman incursions, but tradition and habit were against him and he was killed by his own people.

But strife with Rome worsened, and his son elected to try again for tribal unification to survive against the two threats of voracious Rome and ambitious Julius Caesar. The son negotiated, inspired, made alliances, and finally took on the traditional title of Vercingetorix (supreme warlord) denied his father. He bore the title so well that people today think of it as his name (which we do not know). No other Gaul ever bore the title again.

ATO #44 offers Vercingetorix, a new game by designer Richard Berg, that challenges players to unify Gaul in and around the 1st Century B.C.E. From 2-4 players compete for power in all three of the main Gallic areas. The Romans and Germans are NOT active players, but introduced with random and temporary control to interfere with active player intentions.

Players draw chits each turn to improve their holdings, begin campaigns, or obtain more tribal allies. Or, they may draw surprising 'Opportunity' chits that allow them to interfere with other players' turns and even launch revolts that could suppress Roman activities and elevate player esteem.

1-TPS06 Berg, Richard TURNING POINT SIMULATIONS # 06: Chalons 451 AD Now, you can apply those multi-faceted armies against each other in a way that really shows off their diversity. Our Chalons game uses full-sized cards for each unit (rather like our Arbela game by the same designer). Each card has all the information you need for movement, activation, combat, and morale.

Players set up their best available deployments to execute their strategies and win the game (if the gods of fortune smile!). Your leaders allow activations and assist in combat. Some troops may make choices other than what the commanders might have wished (and that can work out well or otherwise). It's all part of presenting this chaotic game in a timely and playable fashion.

Chalons comes with full-sized, coated playing cards, a sheet of information counters, playing field diagram, dice, and rules. A full battle will last 60 to 120 minutes. Then you can swap sides and try it again! Skill Level: Easy.

The Battle of Chalons includes: Over 60 large colorful playing cards; 48 full color, large 5/8-inch die-cut counters; 12-page Rulebook; One hill terrain display. 1 vol, 12 pgs 2019 US, AGAINST THE ODDS

1-914032G Bey, Frederic VAE VICTUS BOARD GAME #32: Wattignies 1793 At the end of summer 1793, the French thwarted the English Army's attempted siege of Dunkerque by their victory at Hondschoote on their Hanoverian allies. This setback did not disrupt the plans of Austria's Prince of Coburg. With the Austrian Army, he lay siege to Maubeuge, one of the last citadels protecting the border from northern France. It could not hold out long.

Jean-Baptiste Jourdan, the new commander of the Army of the North, spurred on by Lazare Carnot, prominent war minister for the Committee of Public Safety, quickly assembled 45,000 troops to clear the area. On October 15, 1793, the French launched disjointed attacks and were unsuccessful.

The next day, the French concentrated their attack on their right wing, toward the village of Wattignies, whose seizure would force the Austrians to retreat. Fog concealed their initial efforts and Carnot took the village. The Prince of Coburg feared for the survival of his army and prudently ordered their retreat as the French commanders had expected. The siege of Maubeuge was lifted and the Coalition was once again defeated by the troops of the young French Republic.

The Protestant rearguard led by Admiral de Coligny is threatened by the entire Catholic army crossing the Charente near Jarnac. The heavily outnumbered Huguenots put up a desperate fight. Threatened with being turned on their right, the Protestants retreated in good order. Conde, at the head of 300 lances, threw himself into the battle to delay the enemy's advance. The gendarmes only managed to push the Catholics back for a short time. At the height of the charge, Conde was unhorsed and immobilized -- he handed his sword to a Catholic gentleman as a sign of surrender. In control of the battlefield, the Royal Army was unable to capitalize on this victory.

Arques: September 21, 1589
Henri IV is waiting near Dieppe for reinforcements and money from England. The Ligueurs, led by the Duke of Mayenne, wish to prevent this landing and attack the royal troops entrenched at the junction of two valleys. The Ligueurs' attack, led by cavalry on the front and lansquenets on the left wing, broke through the Royalists' solid defenses. The latter counter-attacked and drove the enemy back to their original positions. With no way of breaking through the defenses, the Ligueurs withdrew, leaving the victory to the King.

1-COM1078 Beyma, Rob THE WAR FOR THE UNION: Designer's Edition The War for the Union is a strategic level simulation of the American Civil War. It is the long awaited 2nd edition of the game originally published in 1992. Players command the Union and Confederate forces that fought from 1861 to 1865. The map runs from southeastern Texas to the Atlantic and from Harrisburg, PA to southern Florida. The new map is 34x44 inches to accommodate larger counters. Atlanta and Pensacola are now in the Western Theater. Terrain types include forests, rough, swamps, bayou, mountain hexsides, river hexsides (tidal, navigable, and minor), lakes, bluffs, and major and minor cities.

Ground units include infantry and cavalry strength points. Quality varies from Militia (worst) to Volunteers to Veterans (best). There are about 5,000 men per strength point. There are corps and army leaders and a few division leaders. Leaders have a Command Rating which indicates how many strength points (SPs) they can command, a Battle Rating (combat DRM), and a Movement Factor which also affects their force march DRM. Union militia recruits now have 3 MPs but a very poor force march DRM. There are seagoing and riverine naval units, including ironclads. There are also river transports which are very valuable to the Union player in developing campaigns along rivers. Since the Confederates cannot use sea movement, the Union sea movement capability is somewhat abstracted.

The quality of the armies, particularly the Union, improves as the war progresses. The Confederate player starts out with a small qualitative advantage but the Union catches up by the spring of 1863. The Confederates also have better leaders early in the war but the Union gets more and better leaders as the war progresses. Army counters, such as the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia, are central to the play of the game. Armies enable more efficient use of strength points, leaders, and supply.

1-LEG1501 Bishop, Dennis TANGA 1914: Invasion of German East Africa Often referred to as 'The Battle of the Bees,' the Battle of Tanga, an amphibious attack launched by British and Indian forces, established the burgeoning reputation of Colonel (later General) Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck as he successfully defeated the British-led attempt to capture German East Africa. Some 80km from the border of British East Africa, Tanga was sited on a high plateau in German East Africa, and was its busiest sea port as well as being the site of the crucial Usambara railway. Already the subject of gunboat diplomacy by a British warship on 17 August, Tanga had been spared from bombardment by an agreement extracted from the town's population to refrain from initiating local aggression.

However, the British subsequently changed their minds and ordered General Aitken to capture the German colony via a landing at Tanga in November 1914; it was to be the first major action of the war in German East Africa. Something of a fiasco from the start, Aitken's force of 8,000 insufficiently trained Indian reserves (from Indian Expeditionary Force 'B') were preceded by the inopportune arrival, on 2 November, of a British cruiser announcing the termination of the August agreement.

1-COM1135 Blanchett, Greg KHARKOV BATTLES: Before & After Fall Blau -- Wargame Kharkov Battles uses the Fall Blau basic rules to cover the Second & Third Battles of Kharkov.

Stacking is 3 units per hex and combat out of a hex is restricted. Large units (mainly German divisions and Soviet corps) have Combat Ratings which pull a strength chit for combat. Typically only one unit with a strength chit may combat out of a hex along with all smaller units. Movement and Combat phases with Mobile Assaults for mechanized units during certain situations of movement. Combat keys off the defender's terrain and uses CRT column shifts for extras like air support, combined arms, fortifications, etc.

Combat results have some mandatory step losses, but the rest a player's choice on taking step loss or retreating. Advances after combat are along the Path of Retreat for non-mech units, but mech or cav units may deviate. Support Points are used to allow German supply to reach units for mechanized movement and attacks during turn. Support (for Axis attacks) is traced a number of hexes to a HQ and then a number of hexes to a road which leads to the source. Supply is just a general trace to a source.

Given the nature of the covered battles, this game has a shorter playtime and smaller space requirements making it an easier intro into the system used by Fall Blau. Included is a revised Terrain Effects Chart which should ease reference fatigue for either game.

An additional map is included which is made to mate with the Fall Blau maps, allowing players to combine the two games into one Grand Campaign to be played into March 1943. Also included are extra counters and reinforcement charts to allow for this possibility. There are four scenarios within the game: three independent and one which requires Fall Blau to play.

Independent Scenarios:

Second Kharkov (K)(Six Turns/Avg Time 90-120 min)- Soviet attack and German Operation Fridericus to reduce the Izyum Salient from 12-28 May 1942.
Third Kharkov (L)(Six Turns/Avg Time 90-120 min)- German drive to retake Kharkov in March 1943.

The game utilizes the strength chit-pull mechanics originally from the Victory in the West series and further refined in its VCS series descendant.

1-956015 Bomba, Ty World at War #15- Soft Underbelly:Italy 1943 The War in Southern Italy, 1943 (SU). It's an intermediate-complexity, two-player wargame simulating that historic World War II campaign. It may also be used to explore the 'what ifs' inherent in the situation had the German high command chosen to react to the Allied landings in a much different manner: making that effort's defeat Berlin's main strategic goal for late 1943 (Operation Wacht am Tiber). The design therefore combines factual historical detail with studied counter-factual analysis to present players with a situation that will be familiar to most of them, while at the same time allowing for an easy and seamless transition into the less certain realm of alternative history.

Each extra-large-hex on the 34x22' mapsheet equals 11 miles (18 km) when measured from side to opposite side. Each game turn represents between two and 15 days, depending on the exact time of year of each one. That is, as the autumn weather worsens, and attrition and the inevitable declines in soldier morale and force-robustness take their tolls, each game turn comes to represent a longer period of time. That approach allows for the smooth building into the system of what would otherwise be burdensome factors of weather, ground conditions, operational tempo, etc. Every ground unit represents a division or division-equivalent (176 large-size NATO-style).

The game uses the well-liked system originally created by Ben Knight for Victory in Normandy. There are approximately 14,500 words in the rules. A complete game of SU generally takes from four to five hours to complete, and it's suitable for solitaire play. Rules cover such things as: Allied end-run second invasions, Luftwaffe seaport raids, reinforcements, withdrawals, paratroop drops, naval gun support, both sides' army and corps organizational schemes, German tactical superiority, tactical and strategic airpower and much more.

The 34x22-inch extra-large-hex map contains various infrastructure (warehouses, fuel dumps, bridges, and so on) as well as resource hexes representing strategic mineral deposits, such as bauxite, copper and chromium, which the Axis player must protect, along with routes from them back to Germany, while also guarding possible invasion beaches along the coast. 1 vol, 62 pgs 2010 CA, DECISION GAMES

1-ATO052 Bomba, Ty AGAINST THE ODDS #52: Operation Ichi-Go Operation Ichi-Go ('Number One') was the largest ground offensive in Japanese history, with 500,000 troops, 800 tanks, and massive logistics and artillery support. They used their tanks in armored divisions -- the only time in the war they deployed such concentrations.

They had three broad objectives: Open a land and rail route across China to their southern conquests in Indochina and the Dutch East Indies (and bypass the US submarine blockade along the Chinese seacoast); Eliminate all the US B-29 bomber bases in China; and at a minimum, severely degrade Nationalist Chinese capabilities and in the best case, maybe even knock the Nationalists out of the war.

Magazine includes two-player wargame with 22x34-inch mapsheet and 252 die-cut counters to fight out the entire operation, as well as bonus solitaire rules with the player commanding Japanese forces to capture B-29 bases (using the same map and counters).

In the two-player game, depending on Japanese success, the US might launch Operation Causeway, the invasion of Formosa and the Chinese mainland, which had been drawn up and contemplated at the time instead of invading the Philippines.

1-COM1064 Bomba, Ty STALIN'S WORLD WAR III: Wargame Stalin's World War III is a two game package: Volume 1 - Operation Pincher & The Soviet Offensive in Europe; Volume 2 - Operation Sandown & The Soviet Offensive in the Mid-East.

This is an alternative history monster-size wargame, designed by Ty Bomba, intended to investigate the strategic parameters that would've been in place during the first 10 weeks of operations had that dictator lived long enough to put in motion one of his many plans to start a global conflict in 1953. Had he lived, the most likely start date would've been one coinciding with the signing of the Korean War armistice in July, in order to achieve maximum surprise.

Each two-map volume can be played separately by one to four players or they can both be combined into on Grand Campaign Scenario covering all four maps.

Volume 1's twin-maps (34x33-inch) cover Europe from the East German-Polish border south to Belgrade and Sarajevo and west through Rome to France's Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. Each hexagon represents 20 miles (32.4 km). Volume 2's twin-maps (34x44-inch) cover the Mid-East from Ankara in the northwest to Tehran in the northeast, and south from there to Kuwait City and Suez. Again, each hexagon represents 20 miles (32.4 km).

1-WAHOO Bomba, Ty WAHOO!: The Battle of Washington July 8 1863 -- Board Game Alternate-history game covering the climactic 8 July 1863 Battle of Washington. One player takes the role of Robert E. Lee, commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, while the other player represents a combined Lincoln/Grant persona.

The game postulates that on the second day at the Battle of Gettysburg, the Confederate attack began earlier... Little Round Top was overrun and the bulk of the Army of the Potomac was forced to fall back on Baltimore to regroup.

The Confederate player is trying to conquer the City of Washington while (optimally) also destroying the Northerner's high command. The degree in which the Rebels succeed or fail is measured in victory points. This basically means, barring Lincoln's death, the Confederate player must gain control of the Capitol and the White House hexes to win. 1 vol, 1 pgs 1991 US, XTE CORP

1-COM1039 Borg, Richard COMMAND AND COLORS TRICORNE: American Revolution By design, Commands & Colors Tricorne - The American Revolution is not overly complex. The game is based on the highly successful Commands & Colors game system, where the Command cards drive movement while creating a 'fog of war' and the battle dice resolve combat quickly and efficiently. Commands & Colors Tricorne - The American Revolution, however, introduces many new game concepts, which will add historical depth and provide even the most veteran Commands & Colors player many new play experiences and challenges.

The scale of the game fluctuates, which allows players to effectively portray some of the larger American Revolution battles, as well as smaller size skirmish actions. To further emphasize the differences in battlefield doctrine between the British and Continental forces, each army has its own unique deck of Combat cards.

Players that are familiar with other Commands & Colors games, will soon note that unit combat losses in a Tricorne game are typically not as great as other games covered in the Commands & Colors series. This is a direct result of the linear tactic fighting style of the armies that fought during the American Revolution. Unit morale is the main thematic focus in a Tricorne battle as it was historically.

The 12 battles, showcased in the scenario section of this booklet, feature a stylized battlefield map that emphasize the important terrain features and highlight the historical deployment of forces in scale with the game system. These scenarios are a smattering of some of the better-known engagements of the American Revolution.

1-COM1103 Bullock, Dan NO MOTHERLAND WITHOUT: North Korea in Crisis and Cold War Card-driven strategy game for two players depicting the struggles of North Korea against the West from 1953 to present day.

In the aftermath of the Korean Armistice Agreement, the Korean peninsula divided in two. While its signature marked a cessation of armed conflict, the war was not over. In over six decades since the armistice was signed, three generations of the Kim regime resisted Chinese and Soviet control, endured famine, floods, isolation, and economic sanctions while defiantly pursuing nuclear weapons.

One player will be the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea), seeking a nuclear deterrent to invasion, improving living standards to prevent uprising, and purging elites to prevent a coup.

The other player will be the West, maximizing pressure on the regime by obstructing the missile program to secure the region, implementing sanctions to impede the North Korean economy, aiding defectors, and further isolating the DPRK from the global community.

Play may end sooner than the historic termination time, if the German player is able to do significantly better than his historic counterparts by advancing so quickly he causes the overall political, social, economic, and military collapse of the Soviet Union.

Likewise, if the Soviet player is able to carry out his strategic comeback more efficiently than did his historic counterparts during the second half of the real war, the game may again end earlier than it did historically.

Also includes air army and air fleet counters in the order of battle, as well as the entire Soviet arsenal of Breakthrough Artillery corps. Each full turn represents one to two months, depending on the time of year.

1-COM1201 Collins, Gilbert THE KAISER'S HIGH SEAS FLEET: The Great War at Sea 1914-18 Simple game inspired by John Edwards's War at Sea, first published in 1975. Veteran players will recognize some of the original concepts. As this is a game of World War I, there are some important differences. One player takes the Central Powers, consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey. The other takes the Entente Powers consisting of Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia, and eventually the United States. Portugal and Greece are represented as neutral powers where docking and limited ship repairs are available for the Entente. Players will move and fight the primary ships of the time in order to seize and control ocean areas for victory. The effect of the U-Boat campaign against Entente merchant shipping is represented by the placing of U-Boat counters in ocean areas to score victory points.

1-COM1098 Copley, Ernie THE WAR IN PACIFIC 1941-1945 Simulates the military, naval, economic, diplomatic, and political aspects of World War II in the Asia and the Pacific theatres. TWP may be played on its own or may be combined with The War: Europe 1939-1945 ('TWE') to recreate the entire Second World War. In conjunction with The War's Expansion Kit, gamers can now enjoy the complete TW franchise. The game includes TW: Global rules linking the Asia/Pacific and European theaters.

Features sophisticated carrier-warfare rules that capture the unique features of the Allied naval struggle against Japan. Further, TWP isn't just a naval strategy contest. Unlike some WWII strategy games, Nationalist China plays an active role in TWP, and a player's diplomatic strategy in China may be as important as his military strategy.

As in TWE, there are numerous optional rules and variants, from the Doolittle raid to Japanese Fleet suicide missions. Scenarios include Changsha (Nationalist China vs. Japan, Fall 1939); Guadalcanal; Coral Sea; Midway; the Eastern Solomons; Leyte; Okinawa, 1941-1945 Pacific War Campaign; 1942-1943 Turning Point; and TW-Global, combining TWP and TWE into one monster campaign game.

For those who want to run the full Europe-Pacific campaign, joining both games together, you'll need about 80 hours to recreate all of WWII.

1-ATO043 Cunliffe, Steven AGAINST THE ODDS # 43: Islands of the Damned Includes two solitaire island-invasion WWII games: Pacific Alamo (Wake Island) and Utmost Savagery (Peleliu).

In the early weeks of WWII in the Pacific, Wake Island was referred to as 'the Alamo of the Pacific.' The spirit of the defense heartened a nation shocked over their losses at Pearl Harbor and bracing for invasion. When the word came out about the island sinking two destroyers and inflicting hundreds of casualties, it gave a nation inspiration and seemed to teach the Japanese that the Americans were not as 'soft' as they anticipated.

As a contrast, Peleliu was an island of marginal value and might not have been attacked at all except those in charge expected it to be so easy. Major General William Rupertus, USMC - commander of 1st Marine Division - predicted the island would be secured within four days. The five battleships bombarding the beaches complained that they had 'run out of targets' after a few hours. Both were very wrong. Due to Japan's well-crafted fortifications and stiff resistance, the battle lasted over two months, and has the highest US casualty rate for any battle in the entire Pacific war.

Both games challenge players to mix boldness with good tactics. They must gain objectives but minimize casualties...as the historical commanders would have liked to do.

Games include 175+ large, full-color 5/8-inch die-cut counters and two separate 17x22-inch full color mapsheets.

Magazine also contains articles on 1st Marine Division, 1807 Friedland Campaign wargame, Japan Strikes at US Aircraft Carriers at Pearl Harbor, Modeling Stalingrad (three area-impulse games), and terrain effects in wargame design. 1 vol, 60 pgs 2015 US, AGAINST THE ODDS

1-914019G Dangla, Matthieu VAE VICTUS BOARD GAME #19: Fleures 1794 Fleurus: This name resonates throughout history, alongside Valmy, as one of the most important victories of the French Revolution against the Coalition Army.

In 1794, the war had been going on for two years without either side winning a decisive result. Pitt and Coburg had not lost hope for a military victory over the French Revolution. At the beginning of 1794, the Prince of Coburg decided to concentrate his effort on the north of France in view of a march on Paris that would put an end to the war. To confront this danger, Lazare Carnot, 'the Organiser of Victory,' responded by concentrating forces on Charleroi, in Belgium, in order to threaten the Austrian lines of communication and thereby compel Cobourg to withdraw.

The Battle of Fleurus took place under these circumstances with 75,000 Frenchmen facing off against 50,000 Coalition soldiers (mostly Austrians and Dutch). The battle was particularly unrelenting and lasted the entire day of 26 June 1794. The beginning of the battle was favorable to the Austrians; their first assaults forced the French to withdraw and at times caused them to rout.

But the French under the command of generals like Jourdan, Kleber, Marceau, Lefebvre, and Soult, held strong and reformed a battle line. In the afternoon, the assaults by the Austrian columns smashed against these French positions.

Above the battlefield, a balloon was deployed for the first time and allowed the French army to gather information on the Coalition's movements. It was too much for the enemy soldiers: 'Carmagnoles above, Carmagnoles below, Carmagnoles everywhere!'

Finally, the Prince of Cobourg ordered the retreat. Soon, Belgium would be lost to the Emperor of Austria. After Fleurus, the risk of a military defeat of the French Revolution would be warded off for a long time.

1-914027G Di Silva, Pacal VAE VICTUS BOARD GAME #27: avec Infini Regret III French Wars of Religion, 1562 - 1598 - The battle of Moncontour, 1569 The Peace of Longjumeau, signed on 23 March 1568, ended the second Wars of Religion but was fragile. The royal power no longer trusted the prince of Conde, leader of the Protestant party. A few months after the signing, the Catholics attempted to capture the prince of Conde and Admiral Coligny by surprise. The plot failed and the Protestant commanders reassembled with their armies and took refuge at La Rochelle. Thus began the campaign constituting the third War of Religion at the end of the summer of 1568.

On 3 October 1569, the two armies faced off near Moncontour. De Coligny did not want to engage in battle, knowing he was outnumbered. However, German mercenaries among his troops were unhappy at not being paid and precipitated the movement. The Catholic troops were better prepared, greater in number, and more heavily armed and easily pushed back the assault of the Protestants who were forced into a disorderly retreat. Although it barely lasted two hours, this battle resulted in between 6000 and 10.000 men dead or taken prisoner on the side of the Protestants compared to 1000 for the Catholics. The Swiss soldiers of the Royal Army spared no lansquenet in retaliation for La Roche-L'Abeille.

1-914028G Di Silva, Pacal VAE VICTUS BOARD GAME #28: Typhoon Over the Pacific Simulates WWII between the Japanese Empire and the US and Allies from December 1941 to August 1945. The game does not cover 'the China Incident' of 1937, the Soviet offensive of August 1945, or the attack on Pearl Harbor, which is accounted for in the Allied set-up.

Typhoon is primarily a one-player game since only one side had the initiative at any given time in this war. The Japanese struck first and occupied much of the area, but after the Solomons, they never really acted offensively again. Then the Allies, after a disastrous start, launched their reconquering offensive until Japan's surrender. It is simplest to put the player in the role of the active side and let the rules determine the actions of the non-active side.

The player begins in command of the Japanese Empire, and the game will end with victory, or the end of the success and geographic expansion will lead the player to switches sides and becomes the Allied commander.

Victory is determined at the end of the game by adding the points won by the two sides.
It is also possible to play the game with two players. Simply let each player act during his own Operations Phase, but keep the reaction rules and the Japanese logistical rules.

Pits the communist PLA (People's Liberation Army against the nationalist GMD (Guomindang) with 20km hexes, mostly corps-sized units, and turns representing one week of action.

Both sides can be affected by random events and there are even rules for GMD units defecting and a Deng Xiaopeng marker and effect.

Your base of operations is the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt on duty at Yankee Station. Your goal will be to survive a mission or a campaign.

Facing you will be a determined North Vietnamese force. It is possible you will face small arms fire, AAA, SAM launches, and a rare encounter with a MiG. You will have help. Support Forces allow the player to attack NV defense forces before you attack your target. Their success could make your job easier.

The player may fly a single mission or play one of the three campaigns included in the game. These campaigns are:
First Tour of Duty: Yankee Station: 10 August 1966 - 10 September 1966
Second Tour of Duty: Yankee Station 20 October 1966 - 27 December 1966
The third campaign combines the two campaigns above with additional rules.

The game is not meant to be a detailed simulation of the Rolling Thunder campaign. It is a simple yet engaging, quick game for the player. Concepts for the game come from B-29 Superfortress, Target for Today, Target for Tonight, and Kenney's Boys as well as Able Dog, a free print and play game by Patrick Millin.

TRIUMPH OF CHAOS: The Russian Civil War 1918-1921 - Volume 2 Deluxe Card Game Triumph of Chaos: The Russian Civil War 1918-1921 Volume 2 Deluxe is a two-player card driven strategic board game wherein the players assume the roles of the Red (Communist Forces) and the White (reactionary forces). This epic conflict resulted in the toppling of three centuries of Romanov rule and its replacement by a totalitarian communist regime. Belligerents included the various Russian republics, anarchist and independence movements, adherents of the old regime, foreign contingents of volunteers and the overt intervention of the Major Powers.

Originally published in 2005, Volume 2 enhanced the game to provide more Social Revolutionaries, eastern warlords, and a gaggle of obscure personalities and entities, a bigger map (enlarged 40% and including the Trans Siberian rail line all the way to Vladivostok), better play aids and redesigned cards (setting the stage for more player angst).

The basic structure of the original game is still there with three phases to a turn: Political (players compete to push or pull fractions to their side), Action (players alternate playing cards to move, fight, enact events and build up their armies) and Logistics (replacements and a variety of new intriguing game mechanics).

Contents: A beautiful 44x34-inch double map, 220 cards (action, leader, political decks), three sheets of counters (including approximately 400 military units, 40+ leaders and a bundle of other game tokens), rulebook and supplement, very helpful play aids, and few game bits (wood and dice). 1 vol, 1 pgs 2019 US, CLASH OF ARMS

1-LEG2101 Gale, Tim Decisive Victory 1918: Volume 1 - Soissons Game scale
Unit size: Regiment/Division
Game Turn: 6 Hour Day/ 12 Hour Night
Map Scale: 1 Kilometer per hex
The Battle of Soissons, 18 July to 28 July, 1918, was the first time that the French army used a large-scale attack with tanks supported by a surprise (i.e. not pre-registered) artillery bombardment, similar to the British attack the previous year at Cambrai, and it was the first time that full-size US divisions went on the offensive incorporated in the French army. But most importantly, it was the opening of the Second Battle of the Marne. It not known at the time, although suspected by many, that this battle was the death-knell of the German army.

The game features mandatory attacks into multiple hexes, very rigid ZOC, and severe restrictions on disengagement and advance after combat. 'Threat zones' extend beyond the standard 1-hex ZOCs and represent limited knowledge of the enemy's positions, thus preventing unrealistic infiltration through narrow gaps in the frontline.

The Combat system is highly attritional, in terms of casualties and cohesion disruption. Reorganization is a slow process, conducted under the cover of the night. Attacking units rapidly deplete their offensive power. Defending units, on the other hand, are never completely eliminated, and retain (as 'remnants') indefinite residual defensive power. Defensive initiative superiority also translates into special 'fall back' movement, which allows defenders to extricate themselves from dangerously outflanked positions and avoid encirclement.

1-COM1050 Gorkowski, John SOUTH CHINA SEA: Wargame Integrated political-military simulation of near future contention and conflict around the South China Sea. Players take on the roles of China, the United States, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. They simulate current political tensions through card play and structured negotiation keyed to real world events in an effort to move the needle to their side. Unfortunately, the cards with the greatest chance of moving that needle, such as Chinese Coast Guard and U.S. Freedom of Navigation Exercise, are also most likely to trigger armed conflict. If and when that happens, play transitions to traditional hex-and-counter format on a map scaled at 45 nautical miles (nmi) per hex and turn scale of 3-7 hours.

Derived from Breaking the Chains (BtC), but includes political turns and uses smaller units such as air squadrons, ship pairs, and land battalions. The SCS map shows more detail, but less territory. SCS employs streamlined versions of BtC's turn structure and strike mechanisms that expedite play by dispensing with numerous cycles and strike paths. SCS nodded to ergonomics by putting all scores on one side of each counter - less flipping. Most important, SCS allows naval units to move more than one hex in a single turn, but includes a mechanism, based on stealth, that enables the other side to check multi-hex moves to create a more dynamic, variable, and volatile environment. This last adjustment allows quick moves at a distance, but prevents close-in ships from jumping through the beaten zone of modern anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCM), 290 nmi in some cases. And, every turn has the option for a negotiations phase with some structure to enhance political play if desired.

Game Components:
* Two map sheets for a total area about 21 by 41 inches

1-COM1082 Gorkowski, John Red Poppies Campaigns Volume 3: Assault Artillery - La Malmaison Recounts the Battle of La Malmaison, 23-27 October 1917, in which the French employed their Artillerie Speciale (tank force) and creeping barrage to capture Pinon, Vaudesson, and the coveted Chemin des Dames ridge. The French victory confirmed their recovery from the mutinies spawned by the disastrous Nivelle Offensive fought over some of the same ground six months earlier.

In a six-day preliminary bombardment, French guns, with a three to one advantage, silenced most of their German counterparts and smothered German rear areas with dense gas to impeded German reinforcements. At 0515 on October 23, (zero hour) six divisions of the French XI, XIV, and XXI corps attacked on a 7.5-mile wide front. French infantry advanced in the predawn twilight behind an elaborate creeping barrage with 63 Schneider and Saint-Chamond tanks in support. Twenty-seven of the 63 tanks bogged before reaching the front line. A combination of German fire and mud stopped 15 more in no man's land while 21 French tanks (1/3rd of the starting total) actually made it to the German second position. The French 38th Division captured Fort de Malmaison and XXI Corps took Allemant and Vaudesson. From 24 to 25 October, XXI and XIV corps advanced while I Cavalry Corps came forward to exploit a hoped-for German collapse.

1-ATO038 Gorkowski, John AGAINST THE ODDS #38 - Guns of the Askari In March, 1919, a man on a black horse led 120 officers through Brandenburg Gate, wearing tattered tropical uniforms, on the only 'victory' parade German troops would have after WWI. He was Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck, who kept tens of thousands of Commonwealth troops chasing him around East Africa instead of helping out on the Western Front.

From the opening guns, when he disobeyed the orders of the German governor and attacked, von Lettow-Vorbeck's plan for the war was quite simple. Knowing that East Africa would only be a sideshow, he determined to tie down as many British troops as he could, and succeeded beyond anyone's imagination. Depending primarily on his 'Askaris,' well-trained and highly motivated African soldiers, who were better able to endure the climate and diseases, he conducted what some have called the greatest guerrilla campaign of all time.

Guns of the Askari (GotA) recreates the imperial struggle for East Africa during WWI. This often overlooked campaign featured classic land battles, naval engagements between lake flotillas, cruiser duels at sea and finally hit and run guerrilla engagements. It opened with conventional force-on-force battles dominated by infantry, machine guns, and trenches.

But the low troop densities and wide open spaces enabled a war of movement spearheaded by South African cavalry that broke the stalemate in mid 1916. This left Von Lettow-Vorbeck a choice between surrender or guerrilla war. He chose the latter and dragged his weary pursuers through a series of running battles in Portuguese East Africa.

Designed by WWI game specialist John Gorkowski, Guns of the Askari features 280 half-inch full color counters that represent forces as varied as rifle companies, armored cars, naval units for oceans or lakes, and the supply units on which both sides depended. There are even artillery units back-printed with the other side's colors, so that they can be captured and used again.

The game offers four different scenarios, from the complete campaign to the 1918 guerrilla operation and two periods in between. Combat mechanics change as the nature of the conflict evolves, and each turn has a variable end point.

The game can be played by two or three players, giving the option for German, British, and Belgian players, and making it possible for the 'neutral' Portuguese to (perhaps) join the German side! 1 vol, 60 pgs 2012 US, AGAINST THE ODDS

1-COM1020 Gorowski, John BREAKING THE CHAINS: Hypothetical Modern Wargame 2021: South China Sea A hypothetical future military conflict over territorial disputes in the South China and East China Seas around the year 2021. After decades of patient diplomacy, Beijing's new navy could offer military options for finally asserting sovereignty over prizes within the First Island Chain - that string of islands which runs from the Ryukus south through Taiwan, the Philippines and then curls back to the mainland via Malaysia.

BtC presumes that China comes to blows with a Southeast Asian country in a conflict that could expand to possibly include: Australia, India, Japan, the US, and other Southeast Asian nations. However, beyond China and one South East Asian nation, the exact composition of opposing coalitions is not predetermined but rather a function of the decisions players make as the game unfolds.

Includes two reference cards, rules, dice, and 440 5/8-inch counters, and 22x34-inch map where each hex spans about 70 nautical miles (80 land miles) and each turn represents one day of real time. Players alternate maneuvering air, ground, and naval units for up to 14 nations to resolve battles with a universal 'strike' mechanism that applies across all types of combat; missile defense capabilities are central to survival. Air units represent from 30-90 aircraft each, most ground units are regiments, and naval units are small groups of surface ships/submarines or individual aircraft carriers. Specialized chit play simulates black ops, cyber warfare, and various political developments.

Naval operations which dominate play are based on a roll-to-evade model rather than search-to-find model. That means, owing to a battle space awash in electromagnetic emissions, enemy positions - except for motionless submarines - are assumed to be known unless a last-minute dice roll determines a potential target has evaded detection. So there is no hidden movement to stifle solitaire play and the hidden placement of submarines can be forgone. Finally, the special chits that govern black ops can be played at random to further enable solo game play.

1-ATO040 Jelley, Philip AGAINST THE ODDS #40 - Lillibrulero July 12 in Ireland has become a day of pride, anger, lawsuits, and fisticuffs. Called 'The Twelfth,' it commemorates the Battle of the Boyne, 1690, when William of Orange (hence today's Protestant 'Orangemen') and his polyglot army ended the Jacobite hopes for James II to regain the throne and allow (at least) more religious freedom for Catholic Ireland.

In one sense, The Boyne might be considered the last battle of the English Civil War - a conflict that had spilled into both Scotland and Ireland along the way. And it might be considered one of the last battles of the Protestant Reformation, since much support on both sides had to do with which religion other countries wished to prevail, which is evident when you find that William's army included Danes, Dutch, English, Huguenots, Welsh and Protestant Irish. James' army was mostly Catholic Irish but also included a brigade of crack French infantry and some of the best cavalry in Europe.

The Boyne also represents a key transition point in military technology, with the last of the matchlocks and pikes meeting first of the flintlocks.

The wargame uses area movement for the broad area of eastern Ireland relevant to the battle, with units representing the various regiments, battalions, squadrons, and batteries that fought in the battle. Each turn represents roughly one hour of time, with weather, mist, and gunsmoke affecting command and control and unit activations.

Scenarios are included for the full battle with historical deployments, the full battle with free-set-up, and for specific parts of the battle (for shorter playtime). Also included is a smaller battle 'delaying action' that some people say is what James should have done, plus, there are optional rules for units who could have been involved or who had pressing reasons to NOT be involved (Even William might not be there!). You'll have plenty of chances to try various ways of heading off 'The Troubles' of three centuries ago, or of pressing William's claims and making a truly 'United Kingdom.'

Also included in this issue is a second complete bonus game on the final battle at Aughrim that took place in County Galway, just over a year after the Boyne. Gamers can take one last shot at keeping Ireland 'Green' or risk it all falling under the Orangemen. 1 vol, 60 pgs 2013 US, AGAINST THE ODDS

Players run their Empire like a business, but with a bit more blood, bread, and circuses. From Augustus in 27 BCE to Diocletian in 286 CE. You'll control the workings of the empire throughout, although you can pick four distinct scenarios (27 BCE, 70 CE, 138 CE and 222 CE). Each turn represents 5-10 years, with 10 turns in each of the four scenarios.

Historical statesmen are rated for their military and administrative talents, popularity, and skill at intrigue, and each has a special ability. Every turn sees crises and challenges that the player must deal with by expanding the empire and triumphing over enemies such as 'barbarians at the gate' or internal agitators.

You'll select all the statesmen, even emperors, to achieve your goals. You decide where to allocate resources (capital spending), raise new forces (hiring), undertake prestige projects (public relations), pleasing the mob (shareholders), or even setting aside a reserve for a rainy decade or two. You'll need to blend military expansion with careful administration, as well as intrigue, making the most of what you have each turn, just like any modern-day CEO.

Ordering the army to march due north, Villars asks d'Usson's corps of 7000 men stationed at Dillingen to be ready at Hochstadt on the morning of the 20th. In the early morning hours of the 20th the Franco-Bavarian army crosses the Danube at Donauworth, and then marches toward the Austrian army. The vanguard meets Prussian troops who return to Styrum. Styrum decides to move out toward the north and better defensive positions. The train begins its movement toward N?rdlingen. Due to a quiproquo, d'Usson is supposed to attack the Austro-Prussian army from the other side and launches his attack around 08.00. The Austrians are sure this is the principal offensive and change their plan and march on Oberglauheim. One against three, the French troops hold out while Villars is only three hours away by foot.

In October 1703, Marshal Tallard besieges Landau to recapture it from imperial hands. Marlborough's allied army of Flanders sends a corps commanded by the Prince of Hessen-Kassel to lend assistance to the troops of the Count of Nassau-Weilburg. On 13 November, the latter's troops cross the Rhine and join forces with the Prince. The troops camp between Heilingenstein and Dudenhofen in front of Spire (Speyer). The attack against the French forces besieging Landau is planned for the 16th. Tallard has requested Pracontal's help since the 10th. The latter being in Lorraine, the Imperials are sure that he will never arrive in time. On the evening of the 14th, Tallard leaves Landau, and 6000 men, and marches toward Spires. In the morning of the 15th, he reaches Pracontal at the appointed time and, now with 18 000 men, prepares to face off against 20 000 men from the imperial army. At 13.00 the French Army in battle order engages the combat against the enemy's left wing which is only barely deployed and is disorganised. 1 vol, 24 pgs 2023 FRANCE, CERIGO EDITIONS

1-ATO048 Juneau, Jason AGAINST THE ODDS # 48 Apocalypse in the East A.D. 646-656 Ten years after the destruction of a Byzantine army on the Golan Heights in A.D. 636, Dar-al Islam already stretches from the Sahara to the Sind. The war, however, is not finished. The Orthodox Caliph Umar b. al-Kattaab was assassinated in A.D. 644 and the Byzantines remain entrenched in the Nile delta. Clearly, the armies of Islam must finish the job, the conquest of Constantinople itself. The accession of the Caliph Uthman b. Affan enabled Mu'awiyah b. Sufyan, his cousin and the formidable governor of Syria to construct a fleet and carry on the war against Byzantium.

From the highlands of Armenia to the shores of Crete, the elite Syrian army and navy seeks to overwhelm the last Byzantine stronghold at Constantinople. Unfortunately for them, the new emperor, a callous youth named Constans, is equally determined to stop them. Coming to the throne in the wake of murder and revolt, the young sovereign commands only the battered remnants of the army, but it is now fighting on its home ground.

Wargame features yearly turns, regimental sized units, special rules on the Empress Fausta, and random events including the Monothelete Controversy, earthquakes, nepotism by Caliph Uthman, purges in the Byzantine high command and the introduction of Greek Fire.

This issue also features an extra game, Balck Friday. In the winter of 1942, German General Hermann Balck's 11th Panzer Division fought an amazing series of battles along the Chir River in response to the Soviet surprise attacks that surrounded Stalingrad. On Christmas Day (a Friday that year), this single panzer division pretty much destroyed an entire Soviet tank army. And more.

1-ATO059 Juneau, Jason AGAINST THE ODDS # 59: Blind Faith In A.D. 1415, at the Council of Constance, Jan Hus and Jerome of Prague, two church reformers from Bohemia, were burnt at the stake for heresy. In the years that followed, outrage over the execution convulsed civil society in Bohemia, a fief of the Holy Roman Empire. Now, with Bohemia in rebellion as well as consumed by heresy, the Emperor Sigismund must wage war to both extirpate the heresy and secure his throne.

The Hussite player's forces are largely Bohemians (i.e. Czech) and others, who, inspired by the teachings of Jan Hus, supported the taking of Communion with both bread and wine, along with other reforms of the Roman Catholic Church. The Hussites are in turn divided into two to three factions: the Calixtenes (Moderates), the Taborites (Radicals), and a later splinter group called Orphans. Moderates preferred to reform the church, while radicals wanted more comprehensive reforms, not only of the church, but of the state and society. Some even rejected church and monarchy.

The Imperial player controls those forces under the Emperor and King, Sigismund of Luxembourg. (Note: Sigismund was still only King of the Romans in 1420. Although he was not crowned emperor by the Pope until 1433, he was still the ruler of Germany, in a nominal sense anyway.)

1-LEG1801 Kanger, Kim NEMESIS: Burma 1944 In 1944, the Japanese, being outnumbered and with hardly any supply, attacked. Why not? It worked in 1942. But this time Japanese hubris met British General Slim in the West; Stilwell's well-trained and hard-fighting Chinese troops in the North; and Wingate's Chindit brigades in the middle amongst them, and Chinese Yunnan soldiers in the East.

Uses 'Open Game Turn' system of four phases -- Assault (move/overrun); Attack; Supply Check; and Reinforcement -- with the sequence determined by random chit draw except for the first one, which is chosen by the player. Each player has four chits, so combinations usually change each turn.

Components: One 22x34-inch map, 302 counters, 2 play aids, and 16-page rule book.

1-LEG2204 Kanger, Kim LA PRIMOGENITA: 1941 East African Campaign (Wargame) Wargame covers the Allied invasion into Italian Eritrea in the north in 1941 where the most intense fighting took place, especially around the town of Cheren. The Allies invaded Eritrea with two Indian Divisions and some Free French units. The defending Italians consisted mostly of colonial Brigades, recruited among Ethiopians and Eritreans. They also had two metropolitan Divisions in reserve among which several elite battalions from the 'Grenadiers of Savoy' Division were sent north to Eritrea. These battalions (Alpini and Bersaglieri), together with loyal Eritrean colonial troops held both Allied Divisions at bay for eight weeks at Cheren before the survivors were finally forced to retreat towards the Eritrean capital Asmara. The battle of Cheren is seen as an hour of glory in the Italian army.

Uses a dynamic order chit system where players give orders to attack, move, entrench, bring forward extra ammo, etc. All order chits have a priority number that decides which order is executed first. After executing four orders each, another set of orders are chosen and played. You will have to chose wisely depending on what forces you have at hand, in what order you wish things to happen, and depending on what you suspect your opponent will choose.

1-COM1150 Kirkpatrick, Kirk SNIPER KILL CONFIRMED (Wargame) Card-driven solitaire wargame makes you the sniper with a spotter in search of targets and completing missions. Includes many single missions as well as a 10-mission campaign. As each mission is completed, you will accumulate kill points which may be used to upgrade your weapons or obtain additional equipment.

Play on one of four terrain maps: jungle, desert, countryside, or ruined city. Though you are at distance from your mission target, you will need to score morale points to be able to move into new zones, getting closer to your target. As you do, enemy hostiles may be seen, forcing you to avoid detection or they may need to be engaged to complete your mission. Movement into new zones closer to the target, is achieved by KIA enemy hostiles which gives you morale points that are expended in order to move but beware of the trip wires and claymore mines. Doing this all the while trying not to draw too much attention to yourself. The enemy may call in reserves looking for you. Many items may help you such as scopes and med kits and other useful equipment.

A hand of cards gives the player options to fire, move, crawl, and hide. Location cards are used in each zone and the player will gain cover from these cards but also may find a surprise event. The player will need to earn morale points to be able to move into the next zone, these are earned by killing enemy hostiles. A player only has a certain number of wounds that can be taken during a mission and critical wounds will see the player in real trouble. Taking a shot is a tense moment the wind and other factors could affect the shot, if missed enemy hostiles will move closer towards the sniper and may even attempt to conduct an assault against them.

It isn't intended to be a simulation. It's a gamer's game with quick, user-friendly combat systems.

1-COM1089 Ledford, Mitchell and Gregory M. Smith OSTKRIEG: WW II Eastern Front Wargame A compact, strategic-level game covers the WWII Eastern Front using a unique and fast-paced, card-driven combat/build system first introduced in Pacific Tide. revolving around ground and air operations. While a two-player game, it also includes a solitaire version with different responses depending on the 'personality' selected (aggressive, defensive, etc.).

The card-based combat/build system is a different take on the 'normal' event/operations points driven systems. Separate card decks are provided for the Axis and Russian player. Each year, the players receive that year's cards for free.but must use build points to repurchase older cards. This will cause the player a few agonizing moments, as he typically cannot afford to re-buy every card he needs (or thinks he needs). Players must also decide which aspect of cards to use - many have multiple but exclusive uses (such as, 'Do A or do B') and these uses sometimes give very different results based on operational or strategic needs at the time.

1-COM1117 Leibbrandt, Scott AN ATTRITION OF SOULS: WWI Wargame Light, fast-paced wargame at the strategic scale covering the Great War, designed with a high degree of replayability.

Each turn, you randomly draw tiles based on your industrial points and use them to the best of your ability. Game strategy is key due to the unforgiving combat system capturing the horrific attrition of this conflict; the dice offer no bloodless victories or reprieve for either side. Also offers great variability regarding the length of the war. Some games will end with decisive victories in 1915 and other will draw out into brutal stalemates that last until the end of 1918. No two games play alike. Added to this is a plethora of optional rules that bring additional historical depth to the game as well as balancing the game for players of different skill levels.

The Finnish Expansion completes the entire Eastern Front experience by adding a map that covers Finland from Helsinki, Leningrad, Archangel, Petsamo and Murmansk. The expansion includes the units required to complete the Order of Battle and a 48 page Rules Book/Historical Study to cover fighting in the rugged Arctic terrain. The Finnish Expansion adds a new dimension to Russia Besieged Deluxe Edition in that players can experience the difficulty encountered by the German Army of Norway and the rugged Finnish forces in dealing with punishing terrain, extreme weather and a relentless Russian enemy whose resources never seem to be tapped.

The Rules Book includes a 16 page Historical Study that delves into the history of aggression against Finland by the Soviet Union leading up to the Winter War and eventually, Finland's entry as an Ally of Germany in what was called the Continuation War. Finland's only interest in joining Germany was to regain the territory taken from them by the Soviet Union including land and bases in Karelia and mines in the northern region near the Barents Sea. A gallery of photographs is also included, used with permission from the Finnish Military Photography Archives, providing a unique perspective on the combatants, terrain and fighting conditions in the region.

Kursk Study Variant. Included in the package is an historical Battle of Kursk scenario. Renowned military historian Paul Popejoy, a long-time fan of Russia Besieged has extensively researched primary sources and designed a comprehensive and historically accurate scenario for the Battle of Kursk.

The extensive scenario has a 20-page Rule Book, Order of Battle Cards, and several dozen new counters. This scenario is an essential companion for Eastern Front enthusiasts. As with Paul's previous Historical Russia Besieged variant offered in the Player's Guide, it has been extensively researched but has not been extensively playtested.

Position Magnifique: Mars-la-Tour 1870 is a medium-sized, brigade-scale game for two players (although it is solitaire-friendly). The French player, as Marshal Bazaine, must coordinate his huge army and take advantage of his greater numbers and the French infantry's superior Chassepot rifle. The Prussian player, as von Moltke, must play a cunning game of bluff, hold the line with his deadly Krupp artillery and launch timely attacks as his reinforcements race to the battlefield.

The game is specifically designed to provide an exciting and historically accurate simulation of this incredible battle. The system is driven by a unique chit-pull mechanic that simply but accurately portrays the fog-of-war, battlefield chaos and command challenges that were faced by the commanders on that 'day of battle.'

1-914009G Martin, Lawrence VAE VICTUS Board Game #9: Inkermann 1854 Inkermann 1854 - The End of Russian Hopes in the Crimea

On November 5, 1854, the Russians launched a heavy attack on the allied right flank east of the city. The assault was made by two columns, which when combined would form a formidable army of some 42,000 men. The initial Russian assault was to be received by the British Second Division, 2,700 men and 12 guns. With both Russian columns moving in a flanking fashion, they hoped to overwhelm this portion of the Allied army before reinforcements could arrive. The Russian general, Soymonov followed Menshikov's directive and deployed his force around the Careenage Ravine, where he could not effectively employ all of his troops in combat.

When dawn broke, Soymonov attacked the British positions on Home Hill with 6,300 men and a further 9,000 in reserve. The British had strong pickets and had ample warning of the Russian attack. The British pickets, some of them at company strength, engaged the Russians as they moved to attack Home Hill. The firing in the valley also gave warning to the rest of the Second Division, who rushed to their defensive positions. The Second Division's commander, Pennefather, a highly aggressive officer, ordered his 2,700 strong division to attack some 15,300 Russian soldiers. Russian guns bombarded Home Hill, but there were no troops on the crest at this point

When the British Fourth Division arrived under General George Cathcart, they were finally able to go on the offensive. They launched a renewed attack against the Russians and on their flanks. However, the flanking troops were caught in the rear by an unexpected Russian counter-attack and Cathcart was shot from his horse and killed, leaving his troops disorganized and the attack broken up. The courage of Cathcart and his men had the unexpected effect of encouraging other British units to charge the Russians. This gave the Russian army an opportunity to gain a crest on the ridge. However, as the Russian troops were coming up, they were attacked and driven off by newly arrived soldiers from the French camps. The French poured reinforcements into the entire line, reducing the Russians' advantage in numbers. 1 vol, 24 pgs 2015 FRANCE, CERIGO EDITIONS

1-956022 Miranda, Joseph WORLD AT WAR 22: Minsk '44 The second game in Joseph Miranda's new East Front Battles Series, which began with Guards Tank in issue 13 -- covers the crucial exploitation phase of the great Soviet summer offensive against the Germans' Army Group Center, in June of 1944. The game utilizes the classic quad series rules' mechanics and a retreat-emphasizing differential combat system to encourage encirclement tactics, so typical of Soviet armor strategy during World War II.

Minsk is a two-player (Soviet versus German) operational level game. The game includes 228 medium-sized die-cut counters, with the division as the primary maneuver unit, and also includes air units, untried units, blown bridge markers, and headquarters units. The colorful map features the area of the Third Belorussian Front during Operation Bagration, with each hex representing approximately 2 miles across, and includes such prominent locations as Berezina and the transportation center of Minsk.

The rules entail a variety of standard and unique rules, such as Railroad Movement, 'What if' Optional Reinforcements, Blowing Bridges, Untried Units, and the full range of historical unit formations, such as 5th Guards Tank Army, and the 505th Heavy Armor unit, etc.

Victory in the game is determined by the accumulation of VP for control of important hexes, as well as evacuating friendly units

The historical campaign saw a series of limited actions in the late spring and early summer of 1939 along the Khalka River (Khalkin Gol) on the Manchukuoan/Outer Mongolian border. The campaign ended in a corps-level battle in August 1939 in which the Soviets decisively defeated the Japanese and produced a cease-fire between the two antagonists. The assumption of the game is that both Tokyo and Moscow decided instead to turn this into a full-scale war.

Each turn of play represents a month of operations. Each hex on the map is approximately 30km. Ground units are mostly built around divisions, with breakdowns into brigades and regiments. Air units represent anything from an elite squadron to a mediocre group.

1-956096 Miranda, Joseph WORLD AT WAR # 96: Kriegsmarine Plan Z War Plan Z assumes that Adolf Hitler had not canceled the Kriegsmarine (Germany Navy) expansion program in 1939. World War II in Europe does not begin September of that year. Instead, Hitler waits until War Plan Z is complete (in various stages). The game is a strategic two player simulation of the ensuing hypothetical naval campaigns fought between the Germans and the Allies sometime in the 1940s. One assumption of the game is that since Germany concentrates on increasing the Navy, there is no campaign in the west, so France remains an Allied power. Germany and the USSR still divide Poland, and an uneasy peace remains in effect on the Eastern Front.

The game system shows the effects of various operations. Players conduct actions that encompass discrete combat, logistical, intelligence and other operations. A player can conduct one or more actions per turn, depending on control of bases.

Each area on the map is about 550 miles across. Each turn represents one month of operations. Ship units represent two fleet aircraft carriers, divisions of two or three battleships, four to eight cruisers, flotillas of 19-40 destroyers, or various numbers of other ship types. Most ground units in the game represent corps or divisions. Aircraft units represent six to twelve squadrons of aircraft.

1-956102 Miranda, Joseph WORLD AT WAR #102 Invasion Australia 1942 Invasion Australia 1942 is an operational level two player wargame covering a hypothetical Japanese invasion of Australia in 1942. There was a debate between the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) over the course of the war. The IJN wanted to invade Australia, although the IJA opposed such an invasion on the grounds of lack of troops and shipping. In the end, the Japanese decided to launch an invasion of the Solomons with the possibility of moving against New Caledonia. The game assumes that the Japanese won the Battle of the Coral Sea (in May 1942) and captured Port Moresby in New Guinea, turning it into a base to cover the actual invasion of Australia which commenced in July of that year.

The central game system is Logistics Points (ATP) which represent sea lift capacity (for the Japanese) and ground communications (for the Allies) given the distances from the main Allied bases in southern Australia and the actual theater of operations in northern Australia.

Each hex represents 62 miles (100 kilometers) and each turn from one to three weeks. Ground units are regiments, brigades, and logistical installations. Aircraft units represent from two to six squadrons. Naval operations are handled abstractly.

1-COM1099 Moeller, Christopher Napoleon's Eagles The events of Autumn 1812 to Autumn 1813 marked a pivot point in the history of 19th Century Europe. Despite ominous setbacks in Spain, Napoleonic France before 1812 was at the height of its expansion. The continental system was holding, if imperfectly. Monarchs friendly to the Empire (several, members of Napoleon's immediate family), ruled in every capital of the continent. Only Britain remained unbowed. By the end of 1813 the story had changed dramatically.

Napoleon's Eagles is a highly playable, action-packed card game set during the wars of 19th Century Europe. Two battles are featured: Borodino, the sanguinary clash before the gates of Moscow featured in Tolstoy's famous novel War and Peace, and Leipzig, the great 'Battle of Nations' which marked the beginning of the end of the French Empire.

Two smaller battles are included (Shevardino and Lieberwolkwitz), as well as two campaign games that cover multiple days of battle: September 5th-7th, 1812 at Borodino and October 14th-18th, 1813 at Leipzig. The game includes rules for cavalry charges, artillery bombardment, army morale and army commanders. Emphasis is placed on the role of reserves and the judicial commitment of infantry and cavalry. Key terrain pieces are featured, such as the city of Leipzig and the famous Great Redoubt at Borodino.

1-COM1175 Moeller, Christopher NAPOLEON'S EAGLES 2: Hundred Days Wargame of the final four battles of the Napoleonic age: Quatre Bras and Ligny (June 16, 1815), and Waterloo and Wavre (June 18, 1815). Two campaign games allow the battles of the 16th and 18th to be played together, as well as a grand campaign that combines all four battles.

While there are multiple scenarios presented in the game, each with its own special rules and conditions for victory, most battles are won by inflicting nine demoralizations on an opponent's army, before they do the same to you. Combat is a back and forth affair, using specially designed decks of playing cards. Combat units, featuring glorious period artwork, represent infantry and cavalry formations, massed artillery formations, and those leaders operating at the highest levels (Wing and Army command).

1-ATO033 Moore, Perry AGAINST THE ODDS #33: Meatgrinder Two years after the last US troops left Vietnam, People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) General Van Tien Dung launched Operation 275, a 'limited' offensive designed to set up an attack on the provincial capital of Pleiko. Rapid collapse of South Vietnamese (ARVN) forces caused a change in plan, with PAVN forces quickly taking one city after another, pausing only before an attack on Saigon itself. Based on previous performance, when three full PAVN divisions, supported by tanks and ample artillery, attacked one depleted ARVN division at Xuan Loc, Dung expected a cake walk. What he got was a Meatgrinder instead.

For two bloody weeks, a division regarded as 'unreliable' held back everything the PAVN could throw against them, inflicting heavy losses. No one, on either side, expected such heavy fighting. And hardly anyone thought that this would actually be 'the last battle' of a 30 year conflict. It was.

Now, Against the Odds lets you refight this key moment in history, with Meatgrinder: Battle for Xuan Loc, 1975. The design uses a variable initiative system that keeps both sides uncertain, and features all the weapon systems that made this battle, and this period, so distinctive. The ARVN player employs cluster bombs, daisy cutters, M-48 tanks, and helicopters against seemingly overwhelming numbers of PAVN troops, artillery, and T-54 tanks. Leadership, close assaults, and airborne operations are also included...all the tools for attack and defense that made this a classic confrontation.

Bonus Items Included: All copies of this issue contain an extra solitaire game, Bloody Hunlikely! covering Atilla's rampage across Europe, plus a small expansion kit (rules and counters) for our earlier The Pocket at Falaise featured in ATO #27.

1-ATO056 Moore, Perry AGAINST THE ODDS #56: Hitler's Stalingrad - Breslau 1945 Examines the 1945 Soviet siege of the city of Breslau. With 324 counters and a 22x34-inch map scaled at about 650 yards per hex, a game turn represents one week. The game captures the flavor of planned, grand assaults quickly degenerating into gritty, street-level fighting, with players alternating conducting operations during the turn. Skillfully positioned reserves and sharp counterattacks can blunt massive thrusts, but sometimes at a frightfully high rate of casualties.

Special rules model rubble and barricades; the multi-level city buildings; surprise and ambush during combat; Soviet command directives; the armored train 'Porsel'; remotely controlled Goliaths; and the possible use of nerve gas (Breslau was the major repository of both Germany's remaining stocks of the little AFVs and also the deadly nerve agent Tabun).

1-ST168 Moore, Perry ST #168: Operation Shocktroop: Drive on Damascus, 1973 Operation Shock Troop: The Israeli Counterstroke Against Syria, 1973, is an operational level game depicting the Israeli offensive on the Golan Heights during the second half of the Yom Kippur War, 11 to 23 October 1973.

From the game rule booklet, 'The massive Syrian armored attack in the Golan Heights had finally been stopped, with tremendous equipment losses on both sides. The gallant but weary soldiers of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) now prepared a daring invasion of Syria that could put them in artillery range of the enemy capital in a matter of days. Somehow, the IDF reformed the battered 7th Armored Brigade and the 21st Tank Division and sent them forward with the 20th Brigade's old Super Sherman tanks in support. Brilliant flanking maneuvers, a spirit of improvisation, and further reinforcements created a miniature blitzkrieg. Syrian troops and leaders alike panicked. The call went out for help from brother Arab nations. Only the timely arrival of the Iraqi 3rd Tank Division halted the advance of near Damascus. At that point, the United States put its forces on global nuclear alert to head off a Soviet para drop into Syria, and both superpowers proceeded to clamp down on their clients, ending the operation and with it the 'Yom Kippur War.''

1-COM1074 Moortell, Ross TINIAN: The Forgotten Battle Wargame Most people have never heard of the Battle of Tinian. Overshadowed by the Battle of Saipan to the north and the Invasion of Guam to the south, Tinian seems like a small side show that had no real impact on the war. Some people may hear the name and remember that the B-29s, the ones that dropped the atomic bombs on Japan, flew from there but for the rest it has become a minor part of military history - a forgotten battle.

Tinian: The Forgotten Battle is Volume 3 in the Marianas Campaign and is a perfect introduction to Adam Starkweather's Company Scale System (CSS). This wargame is played on a single map and includes three scenarios (Jig-Day, Mount Lasso, and Final Round-Up) and three campaign games (Historical, Hypothetical, and Free Set Up).

Includes rules for: Caves, Beach Landings, Naval Support, Air Support, Sealing Caves, Mines, Japanese Tenacity, Inter-service Rivalry, Banzai Charges, Japanese Naval guns, Flamethrowers, Napalm, Under water demolition Teams, Aerial Reconnaissance, Tropical Storms, Japanese Knee Mortars, and drunken Japanese Admirals. There are also rules for additional Japanese troops that could have been on the island if you wish to make it tougher on the Americans.

1-COM1097 Mortell, Ross COMBAT! Solitaire Wargame Solitaire game on man to man combat in the 20th century. At the start of each turn, the player will play 1 card from their hand to the Initiative track to determine the initiative values for each of the player's friendly teams and may have other effects depending on the card.

After this, the player assigns orders to each character on his side to determine the actions that the character can take this turn. Once the friendly characters have orders assigned to them, the player will draw an Enemy AI Card for each Alerted Enemy Character. These cards will determine the Initiative value for each Enemy Team and the Order that they will receive. The Order determines the actions that an Enemy Character will take that turn.

The game turn is then played through in 4 Impulses. From the lowest initiative value to the highest each Character (Friendly and Enemy) will perform the action specified on their Order counter. All Characters will act on Impulse 1 before moving to Impulse 2, then Impulse 3 and finally Impulse 4. At the end of the turn all Orders are removed and the played cards returned to the respective decks. Each soldier (friendly and enemy) is represented by a 1-inch counter with 5/8-inch informational markers showing morale, wounds, orders etc.

1-PWAR082 Newberg, Stephen PAPER WARS: Issue 82 - I Will Fight No More, Forever: The Retreat of the Nez Perce, June-October 1877 Magazine and Game. I Will Fight No More Forever is a game of the retreat of the Nez Perce Indian tribe, the longest contested retreat in history.

It is played on both the strategic and tactical levels so as to as fully as possible place the entire situation in the hands of the players. In the strategic game, played on a map of the Northwest and Northern states, a set of counters are used to represent the major units and bands involved in the campaign. Each is rated for its movement abilities and its Search or evasion potential.

The major objective of the U.S. Army player is to coordinate his forces in such a manner as to be able to locate the Indian forces at will and to bring them to battle in the tactical game. The major objective of the Nez Perce Indian player is to maneuver his forces so as to avoid being trapped by the U.S. Army player, moving into contact only when he wishes to fight tactically and, after crossing to the plains, head into Canada with as few causalities as possible to end the game. Whenever a contact does occur on the strategic map the strategic counters involved are examined to determine their identity and then the surviving tactical counters that compose them are set up in a manner determined by how the contact occurred on one of four tactical maps (which tactical map is determined by the location hex type on the strategic map). After the action is concluded the players go back to the strategic map to continue the play until another contact leads to another action.

This is a large game for a magazine, with a strategic map, 4 tactical maps, 1 and a half counter sheets, and a set of rules for both the strategic and tactical games. 1 vol, 56 pgs 2016 US, COMPASS GAMES

1-ATO039 Nunez, Andy AGAINST THE ODDS # 39: These Brave Fellows Austerlitz was Napoleon's classic battle, in his own estimation, but it was not the only battle of the war and had a the battle at Durenstein three weeks earlier gone differently, Austerlitz may have garnered another meaning, if it would have happened at all.

As Napoleon and most of his army headed for Vienna, the French VIII Corps chased the Austrians out of Bavaria. VIII Corp commander Marshal Edouard Mortier separated his cavalry, leaving him without recon, and his three-division advance straggled. The lead division under Gazan stumbled into a trap set by Russian Army commander Kutuzov.

The battle lasted for hours as Gazan's French division battled Russian forces that outnumbered it 4-1 in infantry, 20-1 in guns, and 'lots' to 'almost nine' in cavalry. Yet the Russians exhausted, starving, and freezing -- hardly in condition to be launching an assault. Still, had not Dupont's division covered a day's march in half the time, the stalemated outcome may have proved different. Although both sides claimed victory, Gazan lost 60% of his division.

The wargame includes 22x34-inch full color map, 216 9/16-inch full color die-cut counters, charts, and only 10 pages of rules.

The magazine also includes other articles and columns, including a Wally Simon article on Napoleonic game design edited and enhanced by Russ 'Snappy Nappy' Lockwood, The Evolution of a Superior Warrant Officer in South American Military History, profile of The Incomparable Ninth Legere, and more. 1 vol, 60 pgs 2013 US, AGAINST THE ODDS

2-COM054 Perello, Pete COMMAND #54:When Dragons Fight When Dragons Fight is an operational level game on the hypothetical invasion of Taiwan by the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) circa 2003-2004. The simulation is based on the premise that the PRC opens with a massive missile attack and is able to use their economic and military leverage to keep America out of the conflict. With no foreign power intervening, the PRC must conquer the island within 15 days or the Republic of China (ROC) wins. The war itself is conventional and fast-paced.

The game is of low-to-intermediate complexity. The system covers a wide spectrum of modern operational warfare, including rules for amphibious landings, air mobility, and land and air combat. Victory is determined for the PRC by seizing a significant portion of the island's population centers, which would render Taiwan's continued existence as an independent country economically and strategically impossible. The Taiwanese win through denial of Communist Victory Points or the capture of the landing beaches.

Units portrayed are mainly brigades and divisions, ranging from about 5000-10,000 men, and some 50-250 armored fighting vehicles in the mechanized units. The game map covers the entire island of Formosa (also known as Taiwan) with terrain types limited to clear, beach, mountain, cities & large towns, rivers and highways. 1 vol, 60 pgs 2000 US, XTR PUBLISHING

2-COM040 Pfost, Richard COMMAND #40:Buena Vista & Moscow Burning (2) games Buena Vista is a simulation of the 23 February 1847 battle between Zachary Taylor's American Army of Occupation and Santa Anna's Army of North Mexico. Santa Anna hoped to defeat Taylor's force before returning south to stop Winfield Scott's invasion of central Mexico. this game only covers the second day of the battle (the decisive period of this conflict). The colorful map shows six types of terrain found around Buena Vista Hacienda as it existed in 1847.124 counters, of which 16 are double-sized, one 22'x34' mapsheet, 7 pages of rules. This game is of low complexity and can be played by two people in about 3 hours.

Moscow Burning is a 'what if' game simulating the first 30 days fighting that could occur in the Russian ethnic heartland if that nation's current experiment with capitalism and 'democracy' fails.
Though the game does allow for the accidental or terrorist detonation of individual nuclear weapons, it does not simulate the possiblity of a new Russian Civil War escalating into any kind of strategic nuclear exchange. The game system contains no ZOC, replacement or supply rules. Hex control and unit loyalties are the primary components to winning. Militia, regular Russian army and Ministry of the Interior units start the game without having any particular identification, indicative of the confusion and fluidity inherent in the opening phases of the conflict, while the Elite units are more crucial to determining the course of any new civil war in Russia and bear the specific I.D.s of their real-world counterparts. A player can bid with VPs to change the loyalties of elite units. Militia is converted by occupation of a city through advance after combat. 1 vol, 60 pgs 1996 US, XTR PUBLSHING

1-LEG1802 Poinske, John MAORI WARS: Simulation of the principal uprisings that took place between 1845 and 1872 due to British colonial incursions into native Maori lands on the North Island of New Zealand. Conflict involved the destruction of numerous villages, pas (strongly fortified villages that featured intricate trench-works), and colonial settlements. The war introduced the British to a wily well-armed enemy whose defense works and strategy of ambush surprised and stymied them.

As scenarios progress, so does the extent of the conflict. More British regulars, native-born Australian troops, and New Zealand militia enter and are allied with increasingly more tribes who tend to change sides at the most inopportune times (those supporting the British came to be known as Queenites).

Historical scenarios feature low counter density, quick play time (under two hours), and bush-raiding rule that allows the Maori player to move units temporarily off the map and then back in a location of his choice. As the British player gains experience he learns to track these tribes for battles in the bush. Maori resistance depends on village support so as fortified villages fall to British control, resistance melts away. Random battle dispatches and events reflect historical circumstances.

Contains: 22x34 inch map, 264 counters, 1 play aid, and 16-page rule book.

1-LEG1703 Pole, Steve BLENHEIM 1704: August 13th, 1704 The Battle of Blenheim 1704 is a tactical level, two-player game covering one of the pivotal battles during the War of Spanish Succession. One player takes the role of Marlborough, commanding the British and Allied forces, and the other of Tallard, leading the Franco-Bavarians. At Blenheim Marlborough found himself confronted by a superior Franco-Bavarian force in a strong defensive position. Like Hannibal's great victory at Cannae, Blenheim was won by the successful implementation of a bold and imaginative plan. The flanks of the Franco-Bavarian forces were pinned by furious attacks at unfavorable odds which denuded their centre of troops re-deployed to buttress the hard-pressed wings. Then Marlborough released his cavalry to smash what was left of Franco-Bavarian centre and cleave Tallard's army into two. The threat that Louis XIV's France would come to dominate Europe was over.

The Seven Hex System (SHS) derives its name from the map which is divided into areas comprising of seven hexes which enables the player to adopt various positions within an area to reflect different tactical formations thereby making it more likely that an attack will succeed or defending units will stand firm. The SHS incorporates several unique features intended to replicate in a simple and intuitive way the options available to a commander (the wargamer) of a large army. So whilst the commander has complete freedom to devise a plan, and a good deal when positioning units which have yet to encounter the enemy, once battle is joined the options become increasingly limited and unforeseen events can play a part in determining the outcome. Nonetheless, even at a tactical level a commander's decisions are crucial in shaping events. The key to success is a sound plan with a margin for error which allows for ill-fortune, the shrewd deployment of units so as to be able to implement that plan, and the timely commitment of reserves.

Contains: 22x34-inch map, 88 counters, two play aids, and 20-page rule book.

1-ATO055 Prados, John AGAINST THE ODDS #55:Lee's Greatest Victory - The Chancellorsville campaign Area-impulse game but one unlike anything seen before. Since the appearance of the 'sunset die roll' nearly three decades ago, players have alternated activating a single area, with variation coming in the form of an uncertain turn length.

Play has a chess-like feel, with players able to act and react with a great deal of prior calculation. Players no longer know how many impulses they, or their opponent, will have in a turn, creating both opportunities and crises that cannot be anticipated in advance. The 'momentum' swings back and forth but rarely the same way twice. Yet each turn lasts as long as the players wish it to last, ensuring something will happen every turn.

Units of maneuver are Union divisions and Confederate brigades for the most part, with historical leaders present to provide a combat boost though at the risk of being wounded or KIA. Pontoon bridges and entrenchments are part of the basic rules while optional rules incorporate weather and optional units for both sides.

It's just six turns long and very playable in one sitting. This game forms part of a trilogy of titles by the same designer, with all three games using the same system. Considering ordering the other games, too: ATO # 19 Not War But Murder (Cold Harbor, 1864) and ATO # 32 Birth of a Legend (7 Days Campaign 1862).

1-ATO2014 Prados, John AGAINST THE ODDS 2014 ANNUAL: Set Europe Ablaze Set Europe Ablaze captures the spirit and complex choices involved in Occupied Western Europe. Award-winning designer John Prados, who last gave us Beyond Waterloo, again focuses on action in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Prados brings us a card-driven game pitting the Occupying Axis forces against the combination of Allied intelligence efforts and brave local citizens, fighting the shadow war that made 'the Maquis' a name to remember proudly.

Unlike many board strategy games, the focus is not on movement and combat by military units but on political-economic strategy. The Axis player wants to extract as much raw materials and finished goods as possible, to aid the war effort, and the Allied player seeks to avert this. Allied tactics include sabotage, interdiction, and intelligence gathering.

Axis responses include partisan sweeps, counterintelligence operations, and labor pool mobilization to repair damage. Turns abstractly represent about six months each, with rounds within each turn varying according to cards played. While there is no combat in a literal sense, there are competitions for resolving actions that have both players rolling dice. Excitement levels will be high, as players wonder what the next card will bring.

Allies will take advantage of infiltration and special units (SAS, Jedburgh, OSS) while the Axis will use Security forces, the Abwehr, Gestapo, and even Vichy police. 'Barbie' competes with 'Passy' and 'Giskes' versus 'Jean Moulin.' There is even Stalag XVII.

1-192620 Racier, Ted CROWNS IN THE GUTTER - A Stategic Analysis of World War I World War I was the crucial event of the 20th century, as the great European powers-- which until then dominated the world economically, militarily and politically-- destroyed themselves. That led to a second war a generation later, enabled the ascendance of the United States and Soviet Union, and unleashed the forces of nationalism and self-determination around the globe. On the battlefield the war ushered in the age of the internal-combustion engine and wireless communication, making factories and science as important as manpower and generalship.

In the midst of all that, politicians and generals still had a war to win, and soldiers a war to fight. Crowns in the Gutter provides a concise analysis of the strategies and tactics employed to to try to achieve those goals. The chapters cover the entire war chronologically. They weave together the campaigns and battles with political events, improvements in weapons and changes in combat methodology, into one seamless story. The narrative also has dozens of maps and diagrams to further illustrate all the action of the first total war. 1 vol, 362 pgs 2010 CA, DECISION GAMES

1-ATO2021 Rinella Michael AGAINST THE ODDS 2021 ANNUAL:Operation Roundup Operation Roundup was the code name for a plan prepared by Allied forces to invade Northern France in 1943 in the Pas de Calais area. This two-player game explores the first month of this never-run plan, set in September 1943 (instead of the historical landings at Salerno in Italy).

Allied forces are not the mighty invasion armada of 1944 lacking both the armored 'funnies' and Mulberries that worked so well in Normandy. For the Germans at this time their 'Atlantic Wall' and panzer arm are more promises of what is to come than actual impenetrable defenses.

Yet the game remains highly re-playable time after time as, at start, neither player knows Hitler's reaction to the invasion until it is rolled for during the first turn of the game. Will he give orders to:

Only three units types (infantry, armor, and pioneer) use a new movement system that ends movement points and includes momentum movement. Unit scale is roughly regimental, with some battalion sized formations. Offers a more realistic modeling of German combat attrition and a much more accurate Soviet order of battle based on most recent publications of post-Cold War Soviet sources. Includes a five-turn basic game, a tournament game, and a historical option that mandates the Germans capture all the areas along the river, where players may agree to play through to an automatic German victory or the end of Turn 15 with no consideration of victory points.

1-ATO032 Rinella, Michael AGAINST THE ODDS #32: Birth of a Legend - Lee and the Seven Days The Seven Days Campaign, fought from June 26th to July 2nd, 1862, represented the Union's finest chance to put an early end to the American Civil War, and the Confederacy's best shot at 'bagging' an entire Union Army.

Virtually unknown when appointed to command the month before, Gen. Robert E. Lee promptly renamed his force The Army of Northern Virginia, defining a future theater of operations the present defenders of the swampy ground east of Richmond could scarcely imagine. Aggressive and imaginative by nature, Lee summoned virtually every spare unit the South could muster for that rarest of Southern advantages, numerical superiority.

His planned counterattack, a massive turning operation designed to roll back the divided Yankee forces and seize their main supply base, would ultimately fail to destroy all Union forces due to inexperience and command failures. Yet Lee so dashed and demoralized the Union leadership at all levels that the Army of the Potomac could do little more than defend and then evacuate the peninsula 'prison camp it had been forced into. Here indeed was where a legend was born..

1-ATO041 Rinella, Michael AGAINST THE ODDS # 41: Circle of Fire -- Siege of Cholm 1942 Though now largely forgotten, the successful defense of Cholm by Kampfgruppe Scherer ranks as one of the great small unit sieges of WWII. Now you can relive the first 10 days of this epic battle, when the underfed soldiers of the Soviet 3rd Shock Army attempted to capture the town, its food, and its vital road hub on the march and avoid what would ultimately become a long and unsuccessful siege.

As the Soviet side, you have more men, stronger artillery, and armor. As the German side, you have the town, the high ground, and air power. Hitler has declared Cholm a festung: there will be no withdrawal. In the waist-deep snow and sub-zero temperatures the battle will be fought to the last man and the last grenade.

Circle of Fire: The Siege of Cholm, 1942, by designer Michael Rinella, uses an updated version of the low-complexity area-impulse system first used in the award-winning Avalon Hill classic Storm Over Arnhem. Unlike that game, however, this design includes a hallmark of later area-impulse games: the sudden death mechanism to end turns unpredictably.

The game includes a full size area map produced directly from aerial photographs and situational maps, and 176 large counters. Easy to learn, quick to set up, and fast to play, Circle of Fire is both a great introduction to the area-impulse system and a great introductory conflict simulation game. 1 vol, 60 pgs 2013 US, AGAINST THE ODDS

But with the surprise and the wretched weather working to his advantage, Charles virtually killed or captured the entire Russian army, along with their artillery and equipment. Years later, having knocked the Saxons out of the war, Charles turned again to Russia. Charles aimed for Moscow, and this time, it was a Swedish army that vanished from the map at the Battle of Poltava in 1709.

Thunder Upon the Land brings you both battles of Narva and Poltava, with full color maps and over 264 die-cut counters. Each turn represents about one hour of real time and each hex represents about 500 yards.

1-LEG1502 Rouy, Didier Quatre Batailles en Espagne: Vive l'Empereur Series -Vol. VIII Peninsular War, 1808-1814 Vive l'Empereur Series is a simulation of the battles fought during the Napoleonic Era in Europe, between 1805 and 1815. The scale is the regiment, a good compromise between the brigade level (with no formations) and the detailed battalions. The scale is 250 m/hex and a turn is 30 minutes.
Vitoria, fought on June 21, 1813, was one of the most decisive battles of the Peninsular War. It was the last major battle between the allied British, Portuguese and Spanish forces and the French armies, and opened the way for the invasion of France. It opposed 60,000 French soldiers commanded by King Joseph to 80,000 allies superbly trained and equipped attacking on three sides. Looking like a one-sided battle, things are far from obvious for the Allies and many what-ifs make the situation very interesting.

Oca?a, fought on 19 November 1809 was a major Spanish defeat that ended any chance of success in the Spanish Junta's autumn campaign of 1809. The largest Spanish army under general Areizaga, more than 55,000 men, moved toward Madrid but allowed Marshal Soult and King Joseph to concentrate around 30,000 men. A brutal clash occurred at Oca?a, and a French cavalry movement on the flank rolled the Spanish line.

Salamanca, fought on 22 July 1812, was a turning point in 1812. The battle saw the Anglo-Portuguese army under the Duke of Wellington defeat Marshal Marmont's French forces among the hills around Arapiles, south of Salamanca. Both armies, 50,000 men each, have been marching and countermarching for days trying to outflank each other. Wellington eventually caught the French in an over-extended position and struck at the center. A very well balanced battle, where a better concentration gave the advantage to Wellington.

Sorauren is the last battle of the counteroffensive by Soult's reorganized army of Spain in July 1813. It was part of a series of engagements in late July 1813 called the Battle of the Pyrenees in which a combined British and Portuguese force under Sir Arthur Wellesley held off Marshal Soult's French forces attempting to relieve Pamplona. Attacking a thin red line in a very good defensive position, the French were eventually pushed back, but the battle could have turned very differently. 1 vol, 1 pgs 2015 US, LEGION WARGAMES LLC

1-914012G Sauvage, Denis VAE VICTUS BOARD GAME # 12: The Marshals III - Augereau - Eugene 1814 The Marshals III covers the campaigns of winter 1814 that took place in France north of Lyon and in Italy on the Mincio. These theaters of operation are considered to be minor since they occurred far from the Emperor's view who was engaged in the north of France. Nevertheless, important and little-known battles took place there where the young Marie-Louise, the conscripts of the French army, displayed extraordinary courage. The first campaign, that of Marshal Augereau in France, recounts in three scenarios the march on the flanks of the Austrian army engaged against Napoleon.

In the first, the Lion of Castiglione must seize Geneva to cover his march on the enemy lines of communication. The second relates the Austrians' offensive return from Dijon and the fall of Lyon after the battle of Limonest. The third covers the whole campaign from the beginnings of Augereau's timid offensive to the loss of the capital of the Gauls.

The second campaign, led by Eugene de Beauharnais, describes the fierce combats for the supremacy of northern Italy. Threatened at his rear by the betrayal of Murat who is moving up from the south with his Neapolitans, Eugene withdrew from Verona to Mantua. The first scenario, very brief, simulates the about-turn of the French on the Mincio to counter the Austrian advance. The second covers the whole campaign from the evacuation of Verona to the victories of Eugene against various enemy threats.

With this new volume, The Marshals series evolves. The more imposing strengths of these campaigns required some adaptations that allowed for simulating the march of an entire army corps. These new rules are compatible with the previous modules with some minor adaptations.

Game components: One 59 x 41 cm map (printed front and back); 216 die-cut counters and markers; 1 rule book including five scenarios; and 1 color player aid. Rules in English and French.

Game components: One 59 x 41 cm map (printed front and back), 216 die-cut counters and markers, 1 rule book including five scenarios, and 2 color player aids.

Units: 1 SP = 1000 infantrymen 500 horsemen, 1 artillery battery
Scale: 10 km between two zones
Turn : One Day

The three scenarios describe Moreau's entrance into the campaign with the hazardous crossing of the Rhine, the grueling march through the Black Forest, the concentration of the three army corps from Sainte-Suzanne, Saint-Cyr and the army reserve coinciding with the flank assault from Lecourbe's corps, the counterattack of the Austrians under Kray, and the undecided battles of Engen, Molsskirch and Biberach. The French must demonstrate their resourcefulness as Bonaparte grows impatient and demands reinforcements from Moreau to support his offensive in Italy. Time is running out; advance in the direction of Ulm before the order arrives for the troops to depart toward the south.

The next three scenarios that follow relate the events in Bavaria that lead up to the clash at Hohenlinden in deplorable weather. The Archduke John, propelled by his ardor, decides to assault the French at Munich while the latter marched toward them. This battle of encounter is decisive, contrary to the battles of the spring. With this victory, Moreau succeeds in bringing to an end this war with Austria. 1 vol, 24 pgs 2016 FRANCE, CERIGO EDITIONS

1-COM1210 Smith, Gregory BRITISH TANK ACE 1940-1945 Solitaire, tactical-level game that places you in command of a British tank during World War II in North Africa, Italy, and the European Theaters of Operation. You will make the tactical decisions a tank commander faces and control the actions of your crew while trying to survive. You will be assigned missions to attack, defend, or conduct movement-to-contact, depending on the current tactical situation. As time progresses and players survive, they may use the experience gained to improve their odds of success by purchasing skills. As their prestige increases, they may request improved versions of tanks when they suffer the loss of their previous tank. Awards and promotions help to narrate the player's eventual goal -- to survive the war and help defeat Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany.

Gameplay moves quickly. Once you have your initial tank and commander, play proceeds by rolling for a mission and then conducting it. Enemy forces range from Penal units to SS or Fallschirmjaeger, all randomly generated, ensuring no two careers will ever be the same. Combat is swift and sometimes deadly, as many of the Axis tanks, SPGs, and AT guns can destroy your tank. Terrain and weather also have an impact on operations, as well as smoke. Players must pay attention to hull down status, the orientation of their hull and turret, and decide when it is prudent to 'button up.' Artillery and mortar fire can sometimes support either side, and random events will add to the uncertainty of combat. Due to its streamlined play, a single mission can be completed in as little as 10 minutes.

While British Tank Ace is designed as a solitaire gaming experience, additional options for play are provided for both multi-player cooperative and competitive gaming sessions.
