The ever-resourceful Rommel, however, simply led the Afrikakorps still deeper into the desert, going around Bir Hacheim. Once behind the Allied defenses, the panzers became a threat to the overall Allied position.

A single recon battalion, for example — perhaps supported by heavy mortars — could be tasked to assault a lone enemy infantry regiment defending an outpost.

As the US commander, your mission is to eliminate key German industrial complexes. You select the targets, direct the bombers, and plan a strategy intended to keep the Luftwaffe off-balance. As the German commander, the entire arsenal of German aircraft is at your disposal against the finest in Allied designs. Turns are quarterly, with German reinforcements keyed to that player's production choices. Units are wings and squadrons, and they're rated by type, sub-type, firepower, maneuverability and endurance. There are rules for radar, electronic warfare, variable production strategies, aces, target complexes, critical industries and diversion of forces to support the ground war. Beyond that, the original, classic game system remains essentially sound and hasn't otherwise been changed much. Most of the upgrade was in adding in additional rules, revising the order of battle, and adding more deployment and industrial options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse side of the units now represents a condition of loss of effectiveness, rather than loss of material strength. That's due to a combination of factors: damage to aircraft, an infusion of novice pilots, or to veteran crews suffering combat fatigue. Historically, pilot training and morale were critical factors, and the game now shows that. Replacement points represent not only new aircraft but also logistical support, rest and relaxation time for aircrews, all of which are used to restore fatigued units to good morale. Fatigued units count the same as veterans for stacking on the assumption that a shot up or novice unit would be more difficult to coordinate in the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe orders of battle are much the same as in the original game, though the German player now has to plan ahead if he wants to get jets. We added a US P-61 unit. While P-61s were historically used mostly as night fighters, the USAAF based two groups in France and used them as intruders, so they can be useful in attacking German airbases. The Americans also get a 'Droop-Snoot' P-38. They were P-38s that had their guns replaced with a bombardier and were used as light bombers. While only a small number were built, they were effective as bomber-leaders, so they're included in this edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe German player can now increase his ability to stack by expending fuel points, representing training pilots in large-unit formation tactics. The US player doesn't need to do that, since they had a much bigger training base as well as unlimited fuel. Since the Germans now get additional oil, owing to a more historic evaluation of the Ploesti fields, they can maintain an effective fighter defense as long as they can preserve that reserve of fuel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are also other new targets on the map, such as the Germans' power generation grid. In the original game the US player had to bomb all the targets on the map to win. Given the way the victory point system now works, the Americans need bomb about four out of the five major target systems to win, thereby duplicating the historic result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003cbr\u003e * Rules \u0026amp; Scenario booklet\u003cbr\u003e * 280 Die cut counters\u003cbr\u003e * 1 34' x 22' Map\u003cbr\u003e * Player Aid Cards\u003cbr\u003e * Target Planning pad\u003cbr\u003e * 1 Die\u003cbr\u003e * Storage bags\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Decision Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30597344458,"sku":"DCG1015","price":52.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/luftwaffe_a71a506f-9ddf-4885-8777-06360eee543d.jpg?v=1569058400"},{"product_id":"nine-navies-war","title":"Nine Navies War","description":"\u003cp\u003eWorld War 1 Naval Game\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nine Navies War begins at the start of 1915, after a victorious Germany has overrun France the year before. (Perhaps the BEF didn't land on time or at all, or they got bottled up in Mons, or the Germans kept to their full-blown, keep the right super -strong and pull back on the left Schlieffen Plan scheme, thereby bagging two French armies in the Rhineland, etc.) Italy, seeing the German victory train leaving the station, joins the Central Powers, as do Spain and Greece. All of which makes for a dreadnought showdown in the Mediterranean, Atlantic Ocean and North Seas, as the avidly Mahanist Kaiser Wilhelm seeks to finally defeat the Royal Navy and thus make Germany into a true global power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will be the battleships of Britain, Russia and 'Free France' versus those of Germany, Italy, Turkey, Austria-Hungary and the captured portion of the divided French fleet. (Each French ship is rolled for at the start of every game. Each can be scuttled, go over to the British, or be captured by the Germans.) There will also be the possibility of later US entry when\/if the Japanese switch sides in the Pacific and launch a dastardly surprise attack that finally draws in the Yanks.\u003cbr\u003e Victory is determined on victory points awarded for controlling the various sea zones around Europe. The geography thereby creates a kind of 'two front war,' one in the Mediterranean and one in the Atlantic. The Central Powers player is also able to win a 'sudden death' victory by controlling the waters immediately surrounding the British Isles for one full year (three turns). If he does so, the British have just been starved into submission.\u003cbr\u003e All the battleships and battle cruisers afloat during that era, along with three late-game British aircraft carriers, are represented in the various nations' orders of battle, as well as ships that were scheduled to be completed during 1919 if the war had gone on that long.\u003cbr\u003e Random events account for the larger developments taking place in the ground war still going on in Russia, the Middle East and colonial Africa, as well as accounting for capital ship losses due to mines, unexplained internal explosions, as well as submarine, coastal artillery and land based aircraft attack.\u003cbr\u003e A top of the line German battleship like the Baden has factors (attack-defense-maximum speed) of 6-8-5, while the British battle cruiser Tiger is a 4-4-7. Top -down, full-color, historic ship icons identify every ship.\u003cbr\u003e The game uses a derivation of the classic Avalon Hill War at Sea. 9NW is simple two-player game with a short three-turn '1915' scenario, which can easily be finished in one sitting, as well as a 12-turn 'campaign game' that will require about eight hours to play.\u003cbr\u003e Contents:\u003cbr\u003e * Rules booklet\u003cbr\u003e * 352 large ship die cut counters\u003cbr\u003e * 140 small informational die cut markers\u003cbr\u003e * 1 34' x 22' Map\u003cbr\u003e * 1 Die\u003cbr\u003e * Storage bags\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Decision Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30597345994,"sku":null,"price":42.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/nine_navies_war_889b5c93-c203-4790-ae13-a220d5bc6036.jpg?v=1569058211"},{"product_id":"war-in-the-pacific","title":"War in the Pacific","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn Sunday, 7 December 1941, the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was attacked by Japanese aircraft. For the next four years, Allied task forces engaged elements of the Imperial Japanese fleet throughout the ocean. Marines and army units began their program of island-hopping, wresting from the Japanese the empire that they had expanded in every direction.\u003cbr\u003e War in the Pacific is a multi-level simulation of the Pacific theater of operations during World War II. The game enables players to recreate the entire course of the war, form the opening Japanese attack on 7 December, 1941 to the climatic Allied assaults in the closing days of 1945. Representing some 30% of the globe, the strategic maps let players move and engage in combat on all levels: air, ground and naval. War in the Pacific is not a simple game; there are a number of rules and concepts that will, at first, be unfamiliar to a majority of players. But playing through smaller map sections and scenarios enables the player to become familiar with the mechanics of the game.\u003cbr\u003e Components: 7 full size (22 x 34') strategic maps in full color, new tactical maps with nearly 338 individual islands for new ground units to fight over, 32 die-cut counter sheets, nearly 9,000 counters showing all types of units from the Pacific Theater, rule books, chart books and assorted displays and player aid charts\u003cbr\u003e This is a revamped version of the original game, transforming it (finally, at long last, and deservedly so) from 'valiant-failure' status into a truly impressive monster game. Emphasis is now more balanced between the supply and command sides of the operational aspects of the war; though supply management and planning (now headquarters-based) remain vitally important, detailed and challenging tasks during each Strategic Cycle. \u003cbr\u003e Operational aspects are modeled much more accurately from a historic standpoint, as is the order of battle. Leaders on many levels (and whose combat performance may be unpredictable), often serve to limit players' ability to affect the outcome of every battle to the Nth degree. A player's assignment of the right task force commander (for the right force at the right time), may spell the difference between a tactical victory and defeat. \u003cbr\u003e The ground combat system has been completely revised, substituting a step-loss system adapted from VG's 'Pacific War.' Pitched battles on islands and atolls are now resolved, including maneuver, on expanded tactical maps, rather than simply being abstractly imagined in a single hex.\u003cbr\u003e War in the Pacific's original air and naval systems are retained, in their essences, albeit with substantial modifications. Thus the game still feels like the original in those two chief aspects. Most importantly, extensive play testing has been an integral and indispensable part of this game's development (unlike the original). On the same scale as the original, War in the Pacific remains a monster game, and is not for the faint of heart. But for devotees of the original game, or those who have always had a desire to explore the campaign in the pacific theater on a scale they've never before attempted, neither your money nor your time will have gone to waste.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Decision Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30597350730,"sku":"","price":359.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/war_in_the_pacific_6819177d-c476-4474-bbed-e94fe991491d.jpg?v=1569058407"},{"product_id":"war-in-the-pacific-expansion-kit","title":"War in the Pacific Expansion Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis extension kit is just that,­ a kit to extend \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/22843\/war-pacific-second-edition\"\u003eWar in the Pacific (second edition)\u003c\/a\u003e into late 1945 and 1946 making it possible to explore the possibilities of the war continuing without atomic intervention.

Washington's War, like it's predecessor, pits the forces of a world power (England) against its rebellious American colonists as they fight for their independence. Washington's War is a true re-design that maintains the deep strategy ofWe the People while creating a game with a very short playing time (approximately 90 minutes). Unlike most wargames, Washington's War allows you and your opponent to play twice while switching sides in one sitting. This feature allows for rapid tournament play either face-to-face or on the Internet. Washington's War is the perfect antidote for a time conscious crowd whose only option up to now have been Eurogames. Washington's War features a dice-driven combat system that quickly resolves combat and is very friendly to Internet play. The game also features a new CDG discard mechanic that makes every card in your hand playable by allowing your opponent to buy his discarded events for an operations card. Now, unusual card distributions create challenges adn not insurmountable barriers for advancing your strategy. The biggest design changes between We the People and Washington's War, besides the aforementioned new game mechanics, is the increased emphasis on the asymmetrical capabilities of the two sides. The British are a conventional army with a dominant naval capability that gives them great strengths in the coastal regions. The Americans are an unconvential force with a small Contintental Army led by George Washington who yearn for French intervention. While the British struggle to expand their influence inland, the Americans struggle to keep their militia forces in the field. In th end it is the side that is better able to play to their strengths and protect their vulnerabilities that prevails in Washington's War. Washington's War was broadly tested on the Internet in a tournament format to ensure clarity of rules under the stresses of competition.

A single recon battalion, for example — perhaps supported by air cover — could be tasked to assault a lone enemy infantry regiment defending a key hilltop.

As with all Commands \u0026amp; Colors: Ancients expansions to date, the tactics you will need to execute with thees Hoplite armies will conform remarkably well to the advantages and limitations inherent to these historical units, their weapons, the terrain and history.  A special thanks goes out to Pat Kurivial, Miguel Marqu s, Dan Fournie and all at GMT for their efforts and enthusiasm to bring forth another outstanding expansion for Commands \u0026amp; Colors: Ancients.

Early missions (i.e., before November 1950) for the bomber met with little enemy opposition, with relatively ineffective raids against tactical targets. North Korea's few strategic targets and industries were also quickly disposed of. However, in November 1950 the Chinese Communists were in the war, and the B-29 began facing its first serious opposition with the introduction of large numbers of Soviet MiG-15 fighters. It was now a real contest. However, the MiG-15 had been specifically designed to shoot down B-29s and the aging Superfortresses were outmatched by the jet, even with fighter escorts. Aircraft losses would soon restrict most B-29 missions to night-only attacks, largely in a supply-interdiction role. \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Legion Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30601781450,"sku":"","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/hell-over-korea_a7084320-da66-4175-aa03-1cf84c2d49e4.jpg?v=1569058301"},{"product_id":"amateurs-to-arms-the-war-of-1812","title":"Amateurs To Arms, the War of 1812","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e2 player historical war game\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmateurs to Arms!\u003c\/strong\u003e is a historical simulation game of the War of 1812. One player assumes the role of the British (including Canadian) forces, and the other plays the Americans. This often-overlooked conflict ended in a draw historically, but this was not the only possible outcome. The Americans clearly wished to annex Canada to their young nation, while the British wanted to teach their former colonies a lesson. The game includes all of the theaters of battle from the war: the US\/ Canadian border and the Great Lakes (of course) but also the wilderness of the old Northwest, the Atlantic coast of the US, the Civilized Indians of the south, and the site of the final conflict at New Orleans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-envelope\" ng-style=\"{maxHeight:expandablectrl.maxHeight}\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-body\" ng-transclude=\"\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"game-description-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv ng-bind-html=\"geekitemctrl.wikitext|to_trusted\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach turn represents a few months of time (depending on the season). A typical turn consists of dealing out to each player the number of cards indicated on the turn track. The winter and spring turns require a few special tasks. The Americans will have more resources to commit to the war- until Napoleon is defeated in Europe, and the English player can focus more resources on their efforts in North America.

The game system creates immense replayability by pairing a Tactical Situation card with the Campaign card to create a unique environment for the campaign.

You decide how to arm your aircraft and which pilots are best for the mission. Pilots are rated for skill level. Deciding which pilots to fly each mission is a major consideration. Your pilots will become fatigued with every mission. If you fly a pilot too often, his skills will degrade. Your pilots also gain experience with every mission flown. This makes for some great decision-making. Should you keep flying the top pilots and further fatigue them to get the job done, or fly the new guys to prep them for the tough missions ahead?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMissions are quickly resolved using an area movement system to display tactical combat over the target. Speed and realism take top priority in this game. Terrain cards randomly generate each battlefield. The cards include mountain ranges that block lines of sight from both you and the enemy forces. If you plan it right, you get to fly nap of the earth through the canyons and come screaming over the ridgeline to rain fire down on the enemy before they can react. Beware! During each battle enemy air defenses will pop-up on the map to ruin your day, so watch were you're flying!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get to resolve every missile launched at enemy bandits, and every air to ground attack against the enemy targets. Each enemy tank, S.P. Artillery, APC, Infantry, etc is represented by its own counter on the battlefield. You also get to resolve the enemy SAM, AAA, and Bandit attacks against your aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile performing each mission, you get to decide how your pilots engage the enemy Bandits, SAMs, and AAA Sites. This makes for some tough choices. Do you hit the high value targets first, or take out the enemy SAM and AAA assets?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTAL aircraft are usually able to survive more than one attack. These aircraft are rugged and made to soak-up damage. This also factors into your decision-making. How long should you loiter over the target blowing-up enemy tanks before heading for home? If your aircraft is too shot-up, it won't be able to fly the next day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTAL features an operation combat sheet that tracks the progress of enemy formations attempting to overrun your sector.

Boldly cutting himself loose from his supply line—as Cortes had done three centuries earlier—Scott embarked upon a risky campaign: He had only slender political support; a single reverse—or an inordinately bloody victory—might have spelled the end of his campaign. Instead of an assault on Mexican fortifications east of the capital, Scott circled to the south where large lakes and a lava bed (the Pedregal) gave him numerous approach routes. The Mexicans quickly moved to block him, fortifying the most obvious routes, but they neglected to man the Pedregal itself, thinking it impassable to large units. The US forces, led by an excellent set of engineer officers, repeatedly found paths through the morass. But the US army was roughly half the size of the Mexican army and necessarily was divided.

A House Divided simulates the epic struggle of the American Civil War that was fought over the twin issues of slavery and state's rights. The period from 1840 to 1861 saw these issues brought to a boil, and in 1861 the nation became tangled in a terrible war that lasted four long years.  The game depicts the war between North and South from the First Battle of Bull Run (or Manassas Junction) to Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse or Grant's surrender at Harrisburg... Each player leads one of these two nations and makes the strategic decisions which determine the outcome of the war.  The game board represents the United States, north and south and from the Atlantic coast to just west of the Mississippi. The play map contains a number of boxes, each representing a city, town or locations important to the war.

At Loos, no one moved faster than a man on foot, and fire support was clumsy, unreliable, and inflexible. Thus the strength of that support is variable and serves as a precursor to combat rather than an enhancement of it.

The Israelis were therefore badly outnumbered, but were quickly reinforced by reservists (much sooner than the Syrians had anticipated). More significantly, the Israeli Air Force appeared overhead to impede the Syrian assault.

But Golan also introduces a new element to the battlefield: surface to air missiles. The Syrians fielded numerous SAM batteries during their advance, downing many Israeli jets and compelling that air force to implement new tactics. A single armor battalion, for example — perhaps supported by air support — could be tasked to assault a lone enemy commando brigade defending a fort.

Russian command's infighting and ineptitude lead to one of the greatest victories in German military history. \u003cb\u003eGalicia: The Forgotten Cauldron\u003c\/b\u003e Covering the initial stages of WW I in what today is Southern Poland. The main bodies of the Austro-Hungarian and Russian Armies face each other across the fields of southern Poland. Each side moves to attack and drive the other back. The Austro-Hungarian vacillation between different war plans creates confusion, but the fighting spirit of their professional army produces initial success. Additional Russian Armies join the fray and attack the weak Austrian right flank. A see-saw fight ensues, ending with an Austro-Hungarian retreat to the mountain passes protecting their heartland. Both sides now steel themselves for a protracted struggle that could mean the end of either empire. \u003cb\u003eSerbia the Defiant\u003c\/b\u003e Austria-Hungary invades Serbia as punishment for her role in the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo. Since most of the Austrian Army must confront the Russians, the forces facing each other in Serbia are rather evenly matched. The Serbian Army, battled hardened by years od fighting in the Balkans, aggressively counters Austrian incursions. The Serbs fight for their national existence in one of the greatest �David vs Goliath� campaigns of modern history. \u003cb\u003eGorlice-Tarnow Breakthrough\u003c\/b\u003e With the front in France stalemated across no-man's land, the Germans redeploy powerful forces to the east. Their objective is to save Austria-Hungary from Russian pressure. Initial penetrations at the towns of Gorlice and Tarnow soon unravel the Russian defenses. A dramatic pursuit of the Russian Army across Poland ensues. \u003cb\u003eThe 1916 Brusilov Offensive\u003c\/b\u003e The brilliant Russian general Aleksei Brusilov develops tactics to crush the Austro-Hungarian front lines. His bold plans call for wide-front assaults that prevent the concentration of Austrian reserves against any single thrust. The Russians destroy an entire Austro-Hungarian army and create a crisis that the Austrians and their German allies will have extreme difficulty containing. The Russians have the opportunity to win the war on the Eastern Front. \u003cb\u003eRomania: Trannsylvanian Gambit\u003c\/b\u003e Russian successes bring the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the breaking point. The Romanians seize the moment to grab Transylvania from their once powerful northern neighbor. The Austrians have little left to hold off the Romanian invasion. And ad-hoc formation of Germans and Bulgarians counter-invade Romania from the south. Russia sends reinforcements to their new ally. Each side moves to seize and retain the initiative in an epic campaign. \u003cb\u003eComponents:\u003c\/b\u003e Scale: 20 km per hex 4 days per turn Unit Sizes: Division \/ Brigade 1680 Backprinted Counters Four 34 x 22 inch Maps Two 17 x 11 inch Maps","brand":"Schroeder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30602490826,"sku":"DCGSPW109","price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/eastern-front-1914-17-spw_0352415e-7d4b-40fc-afb7-a84054468c2a.jpg?v=1569058283"},{"product_id":"newtown-includes-bonus-game-oriskany","title":"Newtown (includes bonus game: Oriskany)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor 2 players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolume VIII introduces several new features to the core series rules in order to portray the unique aspects of Indian combat in the 18th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNewtown includes a three-tiered movement system that simulates the individual nature of Indian warfare.

You profit from the country's lucrative opium crop, and your money can talk loudly to the Government's venal officials.

Playing time around 4 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSTORM OF STEEL (SoS) is a complete simulation of World War I. Three maps cover Europe from the Pyrenees to the Urals along with the Middle East. Fighting rages from St. Petersburg to Verdun to Baghdad and beyond. The maps can be combined for one grand campaign game, or they can be used separately for theater-level campaigns of the Eastern front, Western front and Middle East fronts. Nearly two dozen scenarios allow players to focus on one year and one front, one year on all fronts, start a campaign game from the beginning of any year, play the Eastern front for the entire war, play an alternative history 1919 scenario, or play a Grand Campaign of the entire war. Turns are quarterly, with all units able to move and fight in at least one impulse per turn. Campaign Cards simulate the designation of objectives and logistical preparations, and provide additional impulses and potential combat bonuses to recreate the intense offensives of the war. Units represent land, naval and air forces. Ground forces are portrayed at corps level. Each corps is rated for the number of divisions it includes; so players can concentrate for the offensive or disperse for the defense. Corps types include infantry, shock troops, mountain infantry and cavalry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are also specialized armored car and tank brigades, as well as tank corps for 1919, plus the planned-for American airborne division. Each country has its own unique order of battle. For example, the Austro-Hungarians have mountain corps, and there are also additional units representing Bolshevik and independent nationalist forces. Naval units are at the squadron level for capital ships, and flotillas for cruisers and destroyers. Surface engagements, naval bombardment, even amphibious assaults are possible. Naval combat requires opposing fleets to acquire each other and then engage in gunnery. Light fleet units are invaluable for recon and screening, while battleship and battlecruiser squadrons provide killing power. The British Royal Navy is able to impose a blockade that Germany may try to break.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also commerce raiding, including unrestricted submarine warfare, for attacks on merchant shipping, as well as convoy escorts for defense. Air warfare is represented by strategic and tactical wings. A unique feature of the game allows for improving aerial warfare capabilities by increasing air doctrine levels. As air doctrine improves, players can employ increasingly sophisticated aerial missions including interception, aerial supply and para-drops. Psychological warfare is an important element in trying to maintain the morale of friendly forces while undermining the enemy�s morale. Land combat uses three different combat results tables to model variable tactics. Assault combat is bloody and often results in exchanges. Probes are used to try to push the enemy back while minimizing losses. Tank and shock troop units can use infiltration to attempt breakthroughs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMobilization and production give players the capability to produce different forces. Several types of infantry, as well as other unit types and enhancements, allow players to trade quantity for quality or build specialized forces for particular objectives. Industrial output varies as the home front reacts to the need for greater force, but eventually collapses if morale and other factors overtake efforts to sustain the economy. SoS uses cards to generate major operations. Campaign cards give players the opportunity to recreate the major campaigns of the war or refocus those efforts in different ways in an attempt to change the course of the war. Players plan their campaigns, then mobilize and deploy their forces to maximize their campaign card advantages to achieve their objectives. While players can potentially play a campaign card on every front, they will more likely focus their efforts on one front, trying to obtain a knock-out against one country while holding back other countries on other fronts. Other cards provide for improvements in weapons and tactics, such as Air Doctrine, Poison Gas and Tank Brigades. Yet other cards provide for other events and contingencies such as conducting military campaigns in the colonies, reacting to the enemy efforts on otherwise quiet fronts, influencing neutrals to join the war, and attempting to convince enemy countries to quit the war. Some of the cards bring influential personalities into the conflict, such as Hindenburg, Brusilov, Lawrence of Arabia, Foch and Pershing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoS is the comprehensive simulation of World War I. All the elements of the war are simulated, yet the rules are straight-forward and easy to understand. The main rule book is only 32 pages, including optional rules. A supplemental scenario book explains set-ups and special rules. A campaign game lasts 18 turns. It can be played by two players and also makes a great weekend game for four to six. No matter the number of players or the time available, SoS provides an opportunity to study individual fronts and years as well as the big picture. It allows players to examine the interaction of military, economic and political elements and events. You can recreate the sweeping campaigns in the east and the Middle East. You can try alternative strategies to break the trench deadlock in the west.

Then the tide of war changed when King Gustav Adolf of Sweden, the \"Lion of the North,\" revitalized the cause of the Protestant princes of Germany. Bankrolled by France, the Swedes pushed their advantage towards the Emperor's most valuable ally, Maximilian of Bavaria. Though Catholic, France sought to keep the power of the Habsburgs in check by financially supporting the Swedish King.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1632 to 1648, Bavaria and the surrounding area became a crucial battlefront to knocking Bavaria out of the war. The Swedes enjoyed success until fate removed their King and their over-extended forces could not hold onto their gains. After the Swedes suffered a sharp defeat at Nördlingen in 1634, France was forced to play a more active role or lose all she had paid for. A series of seesaw campaigns ensued as the French Armée d'Allemagne secured crossings of the Rhine and pushed the war back into the heart of Bavaria. The area became the proving ground of the greatest generals of the age - Turenne, Condé, Mercy, de Werth. Neither side possessed a clear superiority of forces so it was a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse, march, counter-march, siege, and surprise attacks. After several years, a combined French-Swedish campaign finally broke the back of the Bavarians in 1646 and Maximilian made a separate peace. It did not last long; after a year he reluctantly rejoined the Imperial cause. Repeating the winning combination of 1646, the French-Swedish army ended Maximilian's enterprise at Zusmarshausen in 1648.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Game:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWon by the Sword\u003c\/strong\u003e is the first game in Ben Hull's Great Campaigns of the Thirty Years War series.

Each game is centered around a major battle or full campaign season. A Turn is a month divided into a variable number of impulses. Each army has a hand of Campaign Cards that control the amount of activity it may perform, the supplies it must expend, and a special action. Each impulse features one card play per army.

Chapter H distills years of research into pages of detailed notes on the guns and vehicles involved. Included along with three new Finnish squad types are the revised Chapter A rules to handle them. Finnish ordnance and armor throughout this period are represented from the single Landsverk armored car that was the only combat-worthy Finnish AFV at the start of the Winter War, through the end of the Lapland War, when Finnish armor included captured Russian AFVs and Sturmgeschuetz purchased from Germany. Modern tanks like the T-34\/85 or StuG IIIG were in the distinct minority, however, and the Finnish player will often find himself equipped with obsolete tanks such as T-26s and T-28s when facing the enemy. The Soviet Union was Finland's chief adversary, and Hakkaa Paalle! also contains new vehicles and Chapter H notes for the Russians. Fan-propelled sleds (aerosans, both armed and not), ad-hoc armed LANO trucks, early war versions of the T-26 (the two-turreted T-26 M31 and the flamethrower-armed OT-26, among others), up-armed T-28s, and the experimental SMK and T-100 tanks are all included. Additionally, a number of Lend-Lease Vehicles (Lee, Matilda II, Valentine VIII, Churchill III, etc.) now see Russian counter form. To simulate the lackluster performance of the Russian forces during the Winter War, SSR-invoked rules for Russian Early War Doctrine are included. Captured French tanks such as the 38H 735(f) and the 35-S 739(f) used by the Germans in Finland are included in German colors, along with similar German AFV counters whose availability to ASL players was previously limited.

However, here both players have hidden movement, allowing them to concentrate in unexpected locations to surround and destroy isolated enemy units.

Your goals are to take your objectives while trying to keep as many of your men alive as possible during realistic tactical missions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTiger Leader features 7 historical campaigns and 1 hypothetical campaign (Operation Sea Lion) which can be played as individual campaigns or linked to form 1 huge mega campaign which follows your troops from the Invasion of Poland to the final battles on the Eastern and Western fronts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scheduled campaigns include:\u003cbr\u003e The Invasion of Poland\u003cbr\u003e The Battle for France\u003cbr\u003e The Battle for North Africa\u003cbr\u003e The Invasion of Russia\u003cbr\u003e The Fight for Italy\u003cbr\u003e The Fight for the Fatherland - Eastern Front\u003cbr\u003e The Fight for the Fatherland - Western Front\u003cbr\u003e And the hypothetical invasion of England - Operation Sea Lion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA major part of the game is mission planning. You decide which vehicles and infantry units to use and which commanders are best for the mission. Vehicle and infantry commanders are rated for skill level and even personality quirks such as how well they keep their heads while under fire. Deciding which commanders are used for each mission is a major consideration. Your units will become fatigued with every mission. If you push a commander and his men too hard, his skills will degrade. Your commanders and their crew also gain experience with every mission. This makes for some great decision-making. Should you keep fighting with your top commanders and crew and further fatigue them to get the job done, or let the new guys fight in order to prep them for the tough missions ahead?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMissions are quickly resolved using an area movement system to display tactical combat. Speed and realism take top priority in this game. Terrain cards randomly generate each battlefield. Double sided terrain tiles provide everything from cities and farmland to snow covered forests and hills to sand dunes and oases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring combat, you get to resolve every fight with enemy tanks, infantry, anti-tank guns, and squads of infantry. Each enemy tank, truck, infantry, etc is represented by its own counter on the battlefield. A unique fog of war system adds to the tension of the combat as unless you have a clear line of site to the enemy, you may not know exactly what is coming out of the morning fog towards your tanks until it's too late.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter combat, you can rest and refit your vehicles and infantry.

Bishop - Andrew Preziosi - George Pearson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften 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 by the manner in which he successfully defeated the British-led attempt to capture German East Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome 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 resulting from 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 cruise, Fox, announcing the termination of the August agreement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlerted by this and Aitken's openness in his intentions - no attempt at concealment was considered - Lettow-Vorbeck was able to rapidly and substantially reinforce the town's local defence contingent (initially a single company of men). Believing (incorrectly) that the harbour had been mined, Aitken's force gingerly landed approximately 3km south of Tanga harbour on 3 November, and without having performed standard reconnaissance of the area. Next morning Aitken began to march upon the town, again without advance reconnaissance. Arriving German forces quickly and effectively broke up the ill-formed advancing Indian parties; by early afternoon the fighting had taken upon the nature of jungle skirmishing, occasionally interrupted by swarms of angry bees prevalent in the East African bush (hence the action's nick-name). One British soldier commented afterwards, �what with a bunch of Germans firing into our backs and bees stinging our backsides, things were a bit 'ard...�.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough numerically outgunned eight to one, Lettow-Vorbeck launched his own counter-attack on the evening of 4 November, backed by around 1,000 troops trained in the Prussian tradition. Rapidly overrunning the hastily (and badly) prepared British positions, Lettow-Vorbeck's forces obliged the British force to retreat back to their boats, an exercise that took much of the following day, 5 November. A costly defeat, the attack at Tanga had cost the British 847 casualties (including 360 fatalities). In turn the Germans had suffered 67 deaths (from a total of 148 casualties), but Lettow-Vorbeck gained much booty from the supplies left behind by the British in their hasty retreat, including machine guns, rifles and 600,000 rounds of ammunition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame scale:\u003cbr\u003e Units: Each combat unit represents a company or platoon, an individual officer, 2 artillery guns or a machine gun section.\u003cbr\u003e Map: Each hex equals 200 yards. \u003cbr\u003e Turn: Each game turn represents 1 hour\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Legion Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30604057162,"sku":null,"price":56.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/tanga_7a5d6a64-2b5c-4373-98b3-4af00f187c01.jpg?v=1569058253"},{"product_id":"day-of-days-the-invasion-of-normandy-1944","title":"Day of Days: The Invasion of Normandy 1944","description":"\u003cp\u003e2-8 player historical wargame, ages 12+.

While the game focuses on 10 of the historical conferences from 1943 till the end of the war these and much of this design should not be taken literally. Before and after each conference small groups of advisors and senior officials moved between the Allied capitals making the deals that drove the post war peace. Each conference sees one of a group of issues nominated for inclusion in the conference. The issues categories are: Theater leadership changes, directed offensives, production priorities, clandestine operations, political activity, and strategic warfare (A-bomb). Each of the historical conference cards independently puts some number of issues such as directed offensives or production priorities metaphorically put on the table, while the players nominate an additional 7 issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn important feature of the design is it can be played by zero to three players.

Fatal Alliances expands upon the military system of World in Flames to highlight the diplomatic and civilian fronts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we think of the First World War, we often think of miles of static trenches stretching along the Western Front. Indeed trench warfare was a huge component of the war, but many theaters in the Middle East, Russia, the Balkans, and even Africa were very dynamic - as even the Western Front was at times. Moreover, Fatal Alliances focuses on the major technological changes the war brought on, on land, at sea, and in the air. In order to prevail on the battlefield, you must coordinate artillery, elite ace-led air forces, gas units, shock troops, engineering units, infantry, cavalry, and early tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe First World War was truly global, and in Fatal Alliances, the Eastern Front, the Middle East, the Caucasus, Africa, and even Asia and the Americas play a major role. German forces are loose in Africa, and South Africa's loyalty is uncertain. Italy will go to the highest bidder. The Ottomans face Russians in the Caucasus and British Forces along the Suez Canal. China is in turmoil, and could potentially join either side. Japan is nominally an Ally, but Japanese expansionism is already at odds with the interests of other Allied powers. Russia is primed for revolution, with Bolsheviks facing Tsarist forces in a battle for control of the largest swath of land in Eurasia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo guide your nation to victory, you must navigate the world of international politics, swaying both minor and major powers to your side. Can you survive civil unrest or military revolution at home, while instigating it abroad? Can you prevent your troops from refusing to fight, and maintain control of your far-flung colonies? Strategic warfare on the seas and in the air must form a vital part of your strategy, preserving your nation's own will to fight while degrading the enemy's. Whatever your strategy, Fatal Alliances: The Great War is a truly dynamic and all-encompassing simulation of every theater of the First World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1680 counters represent the armies, navies, and air forces, which fought in the Great War.

He was faced by well entrenched Boer commandos who inflicted a reverse upon the British that ultimately led to Buller being relieved of command. Redvers' Reverse is a solitaire, area movement, game that recreates the difficulties for the British in trying to affect a successful crossing of the Tugela River against the Boer commandos (who are played by the game system). The game is at Battalion and Battery level with emphasis upon the leadership of the British at a Brigade level for Infantry and at Divisional level for the Cavalry. The key feature of the game is to present the player with the problems and difficulties that Buller himself faced. The player is provided with the same level of information and ability to influence events. Units are activated by orders sent from HQ to the various commanders, with the caveat that the receiving commander may not react as required. Orders remain in place until a rout or a commander initiative role. The nature of orders are to occupy a designated area. Combat is resolved rolling a 10 sided dice with a minimum number to hit. The impact on the two sides, from hits received, differs considerably due to the asymmetrical situation, both historically and in game terms. In addition there are numerous die modifiers for Dug in (mostly Boer), Terrain of area, Density of units in the area, Flank fire etc etc. Boer fire is usually determined by each Gruppe firing at the closest occupied area but there are certain designated exceptions. Besides combat loses units can become Disrupted, Suppressed or Rout. Leaders can Stand Firm or Panic. Both Units and Leader can recover from these postures during the Recovery Phase. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor the British it is a race against time, the longer he delays the higher the Boer confidence goes, this is measured by a \"Confidence track\" which rises and falls according to events on the Battlefield. As the level of Boer confidence, alongside the extent of the Boer loses, is central to determining if the Boer retire and thus the British win, it must be kept low at all costs. This simple rule prevents the British concentrating against the Hlangwane and turning the Boer flank, he just hasn't got the time to redeploy his forces. There will also be a simple rule to handle Hart's confusion when trying to find a fordable crossing of the Tugela River. The Boer Gruppe are in their historical positions but their exact Firepower can change slightly from turn to turn. The British player does not know the exact firepower of each Gruppe until they are engaged. As loses are inflicted upon the Boer's their firepower will slowly decline and the likelihood of them withdrawing slowly increase. Whether or not they withdraw is determined at the end of each game turn by revealing the full firepower available, the position on the \"Confidence track\" and a die role. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe British can win but it won't be easy.

With blocks, the nature of military buildups remain unknown to rivals unless\/until military conflict breaks out. The game may end peacefully or there may be war.

Throttling\/limiting rival economies by denial of Population\/Resources is a key form of competition. In peacetime, this is primarily done via Diplomacy, committing Action cards to gain control of minor nations and their Population\/Resources, or to deny or reduce Rival control of them. At war, this can be done more directly by military conquest on land, by Naval\/Submarine blockade of trade routes at sea, and by Strategic Bombing of enemy Industry by air forces.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe early phase of the game tends to revolve around: \u003cbr\u003e• Diplomatic infighting (using Action cards), to gain minor nations (Czech, Rumania, etc) for their Population and Resources, and \u003cbr\u003e• Industrial buildup (via Investment cards), with\u003cbr\u003e• Military buildups (with the nature of forces being built being unknown to opponents),\u003cbr\u003e• Technology advancement (also via Investment cards), and some\u003cbr\u003e• Military operations (using Action cards for Command), which can include Violating (attacking) neutral minors to gain Population\/Resources when Diplomacy fails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the game continues peacefully due to imposing defenses or player inclination, pressure builds as players approach a Production of 20, as secret Peace Dividend chits may take someone over the 25 Victory threshold.

Or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnit movement is by Command card, which specifies a Command Priority letter that determines order of movement\/combat and a Command Value number that determines the maximum number of units that can be moved. Command cards are only valid during one specified Season (Spring\/Summer\/Fall), so a variety of Command cards in one’s hand is necessary for a Power to be able to move in every Season. But HandSizes are limited, so each player must balance competing demands for card resources with military security.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombat occurs when rival units occupy the same area, and is executed by units firing in order by Type (defenders firing first amongst equal types), rolling dice for hits. Units have different Firepowers (hit values) depending on the Class of unit they are targeting (ground, naval, air, sub). Land combat is one round per Season while sea battles are fought to a conclusion. Ground units without a Supply line lose 1 step per Season and cannot build (except Fortress units which are immune to both effects but cannot move).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTriumph \u0026amp; Tragedy\u003c\/em\u003e is a true three-sided game: there is no requirement that the West and Russia be on the same side (and in fact there are valid reasons to attack each other), and only ONE player can win the game. Table talk is allowed (and encouraged) but agreements are not enforceable. Alliances are shifting and co-operation is undependable. The game can continue as an economic battle of attrition or a sudden military explosion can change everything.

Getting the most out of the various movement segments is essential for both players: as the Axis for plugging gaps in the front line, and as the Allies for exploiting every last opportunity to move ever further into the Third Reich proper. But the German player will quickly learn that a passive defense is doomed to fail, and that selective counterattacks are vital to hold the enemy at bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game includes rules for Soviet and German Command (Stavka), while the effects of Hitler's increasing interference in military affairs is presented through a rule which requires the German player to use OKW (West Front Headquarters) or OKH (East Front HQ) to be able to retreat infantry units from an enemy ZOC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Soviets and Germans begin the game locked in a death struggle at Kursk, the Allies face the early dilemma of where to invade, with a choice of invasion sites ranging from Holland to Greece.

While the northern group of armies (Army Group North) pushed towards Leningrad in a war of rapid maneuver its 16th Army covered the flank in the Lake Ilmen – Valday Hills area. Here, fighting began to settle down in early fall 1941 and by January had become static. Then the Soviets attacked. By late January the Soviet 11th Army had broken the German front in several sectors and threatened to surround perhaps 70,000 Germans around Demyansk. When 3rd Shock Army broke the southern wing of German 16th Army Soviet advances threatened now to destroy 16th Army and open the flank to Leningrad.

One player will control the Axis forces (Germans), while his opponent controls the Soviet forces (Russians). The playing pieces represent the actual units that participated in the campaign and the map represents the terrain over which those units fought. The players maneuver their units across the map and conduct combat according to the rules of play.

Both conventional and nuclear attack options are available to players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplexity: Medium\u003cbr\u003eTime Scale: Varies 1yr\/turn\u003cbr\u003eMap Scale: Global Area Movement\u003cbr\u003eUnit Scale: Armies\/Fleets\/Air Forces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Compass Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50781006036,"sku":null,"price":60.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/triumph-of-the-will_e361aaf7-1401-4e51-abd2-3bd53df1e6ac.jpg?v=1569058187"},{"product_id":"enemy-coast-ahead-the-doolittle-raid","title":"Enemy Coast Ahead: The Doolittle Raid","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-envelope\" ng-style=\"{maxHeight:expandablectrl.maxHeight}\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-body\" ng-transclude=\"\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"game-description-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv ng-bind-html=\"geekitemctrl.wikitext|to_trusted\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnemy Coast Ahead: The Doolittle Raid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003euses the game format to explore the first raid on the Japanese home islands by the United States during World War Two. It is a solitaire game challenging the player to conduct a successful mission where the criteria for success is not purely military. The player must organize, equip, and train a squadron of B-25 medium “Mitchell” bombers to attack a distant and rather dangerous target. The game not only covers the raid from launch to landing, it extends the story on both ends. Threatened from the air and from the sea, the player must do his utmost to strike the Japanese capital, avenging the attack on Pearl Harbor, and then land his aircraft safely. If the raid goes poorly it may boost Japanese morale and deflate the mood in the United States. Getting the B-25s close enough to launch is vital, as is the recovery of aircraft and crewmen, but above all, the player’s main dilemma will be secrecy. The risk is great. Failure could mean the loss of an entire squadron, or worse, the sinking of a precious aircraft carrier. Will the Doolittle Raid add to the dismal news of Pearl Harbor, Guam, Wake Island, and Bataan, or will it signal the turning of the tide?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe History\u003cbr\u003eWashington – April 21, 1942: After two days of rumor prompted by Japanese radio broadcasts, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt finally agrees to a press conference. Deftly avoiding difficult questions, he claims insufficient information to neither confirm nor deny the biggest news story of the four month old war. To placate tenacious journalists, however, he tells the press that the attack on Kobe, Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo by United States aircraft, was launched from a mysterious base he would only call “Shangri-La,” an imaginary island from the recently published novel Lost Horizon. His impish grin, if not his words, tell the press that the top secret operation dubbed Special Aviation Project Number One has indeed been a success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat same day China’s foreign minister hands a telegram to Army Air Corps Chief Hap Arnold. It has taken some time to arrive in Washington, an indication that all may not be well with the mission. Dictated two days ago by the commander of that top secret operation, a distraught Lt. Colonel James Doolittle, it reads:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMission to bomb Tokyo has been accomplished. On entering China we ran into bad weather and it is feared that all planes crashed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTelegram in hand, Arnold immediately admits to the commander of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that the mission has failed. No bombers have been recovered. After sending that telegram, Doolittle himself expects a court marshall, confiding to his engineer that they’ll tie him to a desk for the rest of the war, if he’s lucky. Days later he is astonished to learn of his promotion to Brigadier General, and even more so when he is notified that the president recommended the Congressional Medal of Honor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Doolittle Raid\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eremains an enigmatic and contradictory episode of World War Two, defying easy interpretation even to this day. Was it a victory or a debacle? Was it a minor footnote in the annals of that war or a significant military event? Was it a desperate bid to avenge the attack on Pearl Harbor, or, a harbinger signaling death and horror soon to visit Japanese cities from the sky?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNarrative Sequence\u003cbr\u003eMuch like chapters in a story, the game is organized in six narrative segments, chronologically arranged. Each poses its own set of challenges and prompts decisions that establish the environment and conditions of subsequent chapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanning\u003cbr\u003eNaval\u003cbr\u003eFlight\u003cbr\u003eOver Targets\u003cbr\u003eRecovery\u003cbr\u003eDebriefing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorical Scenarios\u003cbr\u003eBesides play of the full narrative, the game offers a number of historical dissections, each a scenario focusing on a fragment of the raid. They are also a handy way to learn the game, since each scenario uses only part of the rules. For example, Scenario One covers Doolittle’s flight over Tokyo, using only the 8.5x11 Target Map and the Attack Segment. An alternative scenario looks at a night raid by that flight, as Doolittle originally planned it. After playing one or two small scenarios using only the Attack segment’s rules, a larger scenario can be played adding the Flight segment. Graduate next to an even larger scenario that starts with the Naval segment. In this way a player can learn the game in program fashion, little by little, studying the history of the raid by playing it as he learns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayer Aid Folders: The game comes with several 11” x 17” bi-fold aids allowing the play of each game segment with minimal study of the rule book. The mapsheet is designed to interlock with other game components, including those play aids, in order to make the player’s experience fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"closer\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"GMT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043400340,"sku":null,"price":53.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/doolittle-raid_c5093748-ae64-4001-aa8e-96e2d13ca3cb.jpg?v=1569058236"},{"product_id":"panzer-digest-review-special-summer-2010","title":"Panzer Digest Review Special (Summer 2010)","description":"\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#E8B900\"\u003eThis 72-page special issue contains all the wargame reviews appearing in the first nine issues of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#E8B900\"\u003ePanzer Digest\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#E8B900\"\u003e, and was published Summer 2010.  Over four dozen reviews in all, divided according to era--Modern, WW2, WW1, 19th Century, Pre-19th Century, Science Fiction, and Magazines.  Designs from all the major (and minor) companies are here, including GMT, Columbia, Avalanche Press, Decision, Victory Point, Academy, Omega, many more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#E8B900\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#E8B900\"\u003eInserts for this issue: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#E8B900\"\u003eNone.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Minden Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51052969876,"sku":null,"price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"retro-5th-edition","title":"Retro - 5th Edition","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eRetro\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e, 5th edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e is a tactical, squad-level World War II combat variant rules set contained in a 56-page book.  Its goal is to provide players--experienced and inexperienced alike--with simplified rules to enable them to play and enjoy tactical wargames and modules without having to master hundreds of pages of rules and a steep learning curve.  You must own the necessary components (counters and mapsheets) of the \"host\" game to utilize \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eRetro\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eThe variant was originally written as a variant for Avalon Hill's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\"\u003eSquad Leader\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\"\u003e and its modules.

NATO and Russia stare each other down in a \"coopetittion\" in the region, and tensions rise meteorically as not so \"friendly\" fire incidents occur. The West tightens sanctions against Russia and ratchets up its rhetoric; Russia, meanwhile, attempting to regain a place in global power politics, responds with sanctions of its own against Turkey and starts low-level cyber warfare and \"little green men\" incidents in the Baltics. Tempers flare across the world, Turkey shoots down another Russian plane while Russian SAM batteries shoot down a Turkish F-16 in retaliation. Russia declares enough is enough, decides on war with NATO, and invades the Baltics and Poland. Belarus, knowing where it's bread is buttered, joins in.

The first type will be the familiar “standard” DiF campaign to which players of the system are accustomed. Progressive Campaigns give both players a fixed “order of battle” along with reinforcements and replacements they will have to use throughout the campaign.

If you can build up your prestige and maintain order, you may be able to keep the island in the Empire, or at least united in a new post-Roman power. You can rely on the civilian militia to assist you, but—as your peerless cavalry dwindles—you must resort to the traditional Roman offer to barbarians of land for service in your forces as Foederati. As the decay of institutions conspires with the scheming of feckless civilians and the marauding of restless barbarians, you may find that the dream of Empire is dead. If so, with your once proud Army little more than another group of warlords, you still can strive to carve for yourself the most powerful kingdom alongside your new rivals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Civitates represent the Romanized aristocracy ruling the ancient Celtic tribes from lavish villas and prosperous Roman towns, chafing under the distant authority (and taxes) of Rome, mistrusting the uncultured and semi-Barbarian army, and yearning to settle century-old accounts with their neighbors. When the Barbarian storm comes down upon your island, you may find yourself woefully unprepared to cope—materially or culturally—and presented with a fundamental choice: strive to protect your lands, wealth, and way of life via the despised Army and untrustworthy Foederati, or sacrifice Roman comforts to face down the Barbarian challenge militarily and culturally through a return to Celtic traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Saxons represent various Germanic groups including Angles, Jutes, Frisians, and Franks who harried, settled, and eventually took over swaths of Britain. As outsiders, you face a steep challenge just to come ashore against the might of the Roman army and navy. You will chip away at the Saxon Shore system, ravage the provincial economy to weaken the Britons’ capability to wage war, and see some of your best warriors serve as Foederati (often against yourself), but recognize that the more Saxons living on the island—whoever their paymaster—the more opportunities for advancing your nation. Eventually, you must secure footholds, perhaps in the marshy fens of the eastern seaboard that so resemble your homelands, in order to wield your considerable military potential and challenge the old masters of these rich lands to create England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Scotti, named for the marauding groups of Irish raiders, also represent those Celts native to the island of Britain who differed from the romanized Civitates by remaining true (or reverting back) to the old ways. Often, the boundary between the two groups was porous... The biggest such group eventually formed the northern nation of the Picts, forebears of modern Scotland. As the Scotti, you see the disintegration of Roman Britain as an opportunity not so much to expand as to seize riches and renown to assert yourself at home. Raid ceaselessly, surprise and plunder poorly protected communities, kidnap for ransom, and show your military prowess against your unfortunate neighbors across the Irish Sea and Forth-Clyde isthmus… Then establish bases strategically along the enemy shores and entreat local hill tribes to reject post-Roman authority.

The first drive on St. Louis had been repulsed and Van Dorn was summoned to take command of the force and launch a new offensive into the heart of Missouri. Van Dorn, an Indian-fighting cavalryman by trade, arrived at the Rebel camp and even though he was quite ill (due to a fall into a river) he immediately roused the troops. He proposed to launch an immediate attack, despite the freezing weather and fatigued state of his troops. Van Dorn force-marched the army north and managed to pull off a classic Napoleonic stratagem - the “maneuver sur la derrieres”. He placed his army astride the line of communications of his enemy and by any normal military measure this should have been settled the issue for the two armies. But by doing so at such an ill-advised time and at such an inhuman pace the Rebel troops were little more than a frozen and exhausted armed mob when they finally reached their positions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\" class=\"size10 Helvetica10\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\" class=\"size10 Helvetica10\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eBrig.

What they do not have in abundance is time. The island and its vital airfields must be conquered quickly to allow the 77th Infantry Division to be transferred to Okinawa as soon as possible. Even so the American side must achieve its mission with no more than a modest number of casualties otherwise the 77th will be in no condition to relieve the 96th Infantry Division on Okinawa as it did historically. An economy of force approach must be adopted and assets such as air power, armor, artillery, and the American Navy all used to maximum efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Japanese player has a mixed bag of forces ranging from regular army units to airfield construction personnel to island civilians. Defeating the invasion at the landing beaches isn’t the goal so much as making the invaders pay as high a price as possible. With this in mind the Japanese player must focus their defense on the best terrain—primarily Mount Gusuku and the urban areas adjacent to it—but always be on the lookout for opportunities to upset the American timetable with judicious placement of machine gun nests and pockets of civilian resistance behind American lines. The island’s artillery possesses the capability to inflict attritional losses on the invaders, and the threat of a kamikaze attack on the 5th Fleet is something the American player must account for. The arrival of night each turn opens the door for small Japanese assaults which, along with satchel charges, might produce a local victory as happened historically at Bloody Ridge, or at the very least see the American player surrendering control of the advantage marker to demand a reroll. Changes in the weather are random, but the arrival of rain benefits the Japanese side, as does the appearance of rubble in urban areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn optional rule allows players to experience the uplifting presence of Ernie Pyle being close to the front and the leadership provided by Major Igawa personally joining the combat, though at the risk of seeing these historical figures killed in action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"closer\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Revolution Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12106580131913,"sku":null,"price":24.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/last-battle.jpg?v=1569102833"},{"product_id":"tally-ho","title":"Tally Ho!","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#9e0704\" class=\"size11 Helvetica11\" style=\"color: #9e0704; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTally Ho! \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif\" color=\"#000000\" class=\"size11 Helvetica11\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e is volume 5 in the Battle over Britain game series, covering North Africa, 1940-41.

Fort Sumter is a small footprint game (11x17” mounted map) that takes approximately 25-40 minutes to play. The game pits a Unionist versus a Secessionist player. Each player uses the area control mechanic pioneered in Mark Herman's We The People design and immortalized in Twilight Struggle to place, move, and remove political capital.

Dubbed “Case Yellow” (Fall Gelb), it relied on a surprise attack with armored forces through the Ardennes Forest that the French had deemed impenetrable. A German staff study proved otherwise, and their panzers were pushed through this broken wooded terrain with deft speed, catching the Allies by surprise with their appearance.\u003cbr\u003eIn No Retreat 3, players command the Allied (French and British) or German forces, operating them in accordance to one of several historical plans (represented by Plan cards). Manoeuvring forces over hexes that are approximately 30 kilometers across, over turns that represent 4 days of real time each, the vaunted No Retreat series card-assisted game systems are there to create on-map puzzles around each hex, unit and battle as the tense engagements rage back-and-forth and nothing is entirely predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigner Carl Paradis has made an exhaustive study to answer the question, “Could France have staved off total defeat in 1940?” His research yields a resounding, “Yes!,” and the simulation elements of No Retreat 3, combined with its novel gameplay elements, offer a rich and insightful presentation of this controversial military campaign that shaped the trajectory of World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBonus Game\u003cbr\u003eBut wait, there is more!

Since that this game is fast, a complete contest will consist of two plays, with each gamer taking both sides in turn, trying to best the opponent’s performance. Some intriguing “what if” hypothetical historical options are also added: Could have France intervened more effectively, the USSR acted differently?

Their goal was to capture the forts that guarded the Dardanelles. With that achieved, the British and French Fleets would sail to Constantinople, topple the Ottoman government, and open up a supply line to Russia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, defending the beaches was an equal number of Turkish divisions, hardened in the recent Balkan Wars, led by well-trained Turkish officers, supported by advisors from the German General Staff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn hour before dawn, in complete silence, the Anzacs rowed ashore at Ari Burnu, a place later to be famous as Anzac Cove.

The five-week battle was some of the bloodiest fighting in the Pacific. In one of the costliest intelligence failures of the war, the planners had completely misjudged the situation that would face the Marines. The beaches had been described as excellent and the advance inland was expected to be easy. Instead, the Marines were faced with 15-foot-high slopes of soft black volcanic ash that brought the normally rapidly moving Marines down to a slow plod. In addition, the lack of a vigorous response led the Marines to believe that the bombardment had completely suppressed the defenses. However, Gen. Kuribayashi was far from beaten. Understanding that his forces were insufficient to defeat the massive American invasion force, he had decided to defend the island in-depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn D-Day at Iwo Jima, designer Joe Youst builds on John Butterfield’s award winning solitaire game system.

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 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Block Panel\" id=\"ProductReviews\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Legion Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13366163865673,"sku":"","price":50.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/blenheim-1704.jpg?v=1569121233"},{"product_id":"nemesis-burma-1944","title":"Nemesis - Burma 1944","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"Block Panel ProductDescription current\" id=\"ProductDescription\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ProductDescriptionContainer prodAccordionContent\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subtitle\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ProductDescriptionContainer prodAccordionContent\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\"Nemesis: The spirit of divine retribution against those who succumb to hubris\"\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"arial, helvetica, sans-serif\" style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile Burma was the backwater of WW2, it contained several of the most colorful characters of the war.

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).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHistorical scenarios feature low counter density, quick play time (under two hours), and features a novel 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. At which point he enters and battles these units in the bush. Maori resistance is dependent on village support so as fortified villages fall to British control, resistance melts away. Random battle dispatches reflect historical circumstances. Events such as: SEEK PEACE, NEW RELIGION, and CONCERNED TRIBES force players to deal with new and developing crises. The English may build forts but are penalized for fort-building as they historically caused local uprisings. Canoes and gunboats allow rapid transport and in the case of gunboats waterborne artillery support. Standard British artillery and cavalry are introduced but play only a minor supporting role. Terrain and knowledge of the terrain is the Maori’s secret weapon. Relative troop strength is designed to allow the possibility of historical outcomes not the proportionate historical strength. The overwhelming British superiority of men and firepower made the successes of the Maori forces all the more remarkable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Legion Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21128367702095,"sku":"","price":56.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/maori_wars_cover_155.jpg?v=1569142804"},{"product_id":"1066-tears-to-many-mothers","title":"1066 Tears to Many Mothers","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-envelope\" ng-style=\"{maxHeight:expandablectrl.maxHeight}\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-body\" ng-transclude=\"\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"game-description-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv ng-bind-html=\"geekitemctrl.wikitext|to_trusted\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFor 1-2 players, ages 12+, playing time around 30-60 minutes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecreate the infamous Battle of Hastings!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA promise has been broken, an evil omen is in the sky, a crown is at stake, and history is about to be made...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1066, Tears to Many Mothers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis an asymmetric, competitive, tactical card game in the style of Magic the Gathering, but non-collectable.

The threat of capture by Federal forces was constant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Late Unpleasantness covers the two major attempts to capture the Confederate Capital City. Gates of Richmond covers the Seven Days Battles with Robert E Lee facing down George McClellan.

Will the Union army fail to attack the Richmond works as a result of “Prince John” Magruder’s antics?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf It Takes All Summer covers most of Central Virginia, from Brandy Station and Culpeper to the Cold Harbor north east of Richmond. The Wilderness features prominently in the campaign with a special table to create some of the confusion as a result of fighting in this tangle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basic units are divisions (a bit larger than usual for Civil War, but right in this case). Each unit is listed for strength and overall leadership\/morale quality. Stacks are hidden for limited intelligence. Corps and Army leaders are available to modify the die roll in an attack as well as to help coordinate attacks from more than a single stack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSequence of play is straight forward with supply first. Units out of supply suffer movement and combat penalties and those with a continued lack of supply will suffer attrition. Confederate supply is a simple trace to either Richmond or a railroad, while the Union needs to relocate his base to keep his offensive moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnits move, then attack as a part of the stack’s movement. Terrain, strength and leadership are all die roll modifiers, in combat. Combat losses are in terms of strength points, but a third die is rolled to determine if the combat ends in a retreat or continues. If it continues, you count it up and do it again. (and possibly again) If your leaders are good enough, they may be able to break off a losing battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrown into the mix are random events cards, but the game is not card driven.

You use the cards to enhance your units or mess with the other player (ie. Grant steals a march - all Union units +2 MP this turn, or Rain - 1 left shift on all attacks) Others are one time events (Sedwick gets killed, Jackson falls asleep) that will ruin your perfect plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach game can be picked up and learned in under 30 minutes, and played entirely through in 4 hours or less.

This game is in the \"Battles for France\" series that is being published by Minden. The object of the game for the Americans is to initiate a breakthrough all along the line, and for the Germans, to prevent this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Breakout at St. Lo includes a 12-page illustrated rule booklet, an 8.5\" x 11\" hexagon mapsheet, a set of 90 color, thick-card unit counters (uncut), and a Reference Card. The game uses a straightforward sequence of play, with units being rated for attack, defense, and movement. The map represents the area where the fighting occurred, at a scale of approximately two miles per hex. Each game turn represents one day. Units represent divisions, with each division usually represented by two units. Units represent infantry, armor (panzer), SS, and falschirmjager. The game uses a \"differential\" Combat Results Table. Rules cover cohesion, attack supply, American artillery, with optional rules covering American airpower, isolation, variation (and secret) chit draws that can affect play, and SS cohesion.

However, the number of VP gained by exiting cannot exceed the number of VP gained by eliminating units. The American player must therefore strike a balance between these two goals; a miscalculation here could prove decisive. For the Germans, they must decide on deploying forward to attempt to delay Americans (and probably lose more troops), and withdrawing (and risk giving up ground too quickly). The game therefore gives both players strategic options that are different, but equally tricky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With high playability, low counter density, many optional rules, and rich strategic choices for both sides, Breakout at St. Lo provides players with a World War II game that plays quickly, and rewards sound tactics.","brand":"Minden Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21957427232847,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/stlo.png?v=1569188869"},{"product_id":"battle-over-europe-w-fighter-command","title":"Battle Over Europe w\/ Fighter Command","description":"\u003cp\u003eBattle over Britain Vol 6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorld War 2 Aerial Combat Game\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZip Edition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Minden Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21957507350607,"sku":null,"price":21.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/europe.png?v=1569188871"},{"product_id":"combat-leader-map-set-1-10","title":"Combat Leader: Map Set 1-10","description":"\u003cp\u003eMap set for Combat Leader\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Minden Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21957550440527,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/maps.png?v=1569188874"},{"product_id":"dreadnoughts-battlecruisers-intro-rules","title":"Dreadnoughts \u0026 Battlecruisers - Intro Rules","description":"\u003cp\u003eWorld War I tactical naval game; 2 players\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Minden Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21957668175951,"sku":"","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/intro.png?v=1569188883"},{"product_id":"empire-of-the-sun-second-edition","title":"Empire of the Sun Second Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e2 player historical wargame, ages 12+.

These engagements involved General Longstreet’s attack against Sickles’ positions, with troops from Hood’s and McLaws’ Divisions, assisted as well by Anderson’s Division of A.P. Hill’s Corps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game is specifically designed to be a playable regimental-scale game that players can complete in a long evening. It allows the players the immersive experience of tactical combat without the heavy rules overhead normally found in such games, while also delivering a comprehensive experience of limited intelligence and unexpected events. The game features the Blind Swords chit-pull system which emphasizes the three “FOW’s” of military conflict: fog-of-war, friction-of-war and fortunes-of-war. With each chit pull, players will be challenged to make tough decisions based on their assessment of the situation at that moment. Unlike traditional chit-pull systems, the Blind Swords system ensures that no combat units can be counted on, or conversely, counted out. This yields an environment of tense action and constant surprises – an environment that will challenge each player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUNITS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll regiments and batteries of the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac that took part in these actions are represented in the Order of Battle. Each unit has a Strength Point number, with each point equaling 50 men or 1 artillery piece, and a Cohesion Rating, representing the unit’s morale, training and experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombat and Cohesion System: The combat system is “firepower” based and utilizes the unit’s size and Cohesion Rating to determine its effectiveness. The combat system is driven by a unique four-D6 dice mechanic. All four differently-colored dice are rolled simultaneously. The black and white dice generate an initial result ranging from 11 to 66. The other two dice (red and blue) simultaneously give the players the tangible effect of the initial result and represent physical casualties suffered by the unit (the red die) and the morale effect of the enemy’s fire (the blue die).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders System: A player must first choose one of four possible Orders that an activated Brigade will operate under – Attack, Defend, Maneuver or Rally. Each Order has specific parameters that provide benefits and restrictions. This Order choice can be critical to a unit’s performance during its activation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChit-Pull System: The Blind Swords chit-pull system is a unique mechanic and generates challenging actions and difficult decisions for the players. It features four different types of chits, all of which reside in the same cup, each with special effects:\u003c\/p\u003e\nDivision Activation Chits. These activate any one Brigade (not yet activated) from the Division listed on the chit. However, further Brigade activations from this Division are dependent on the Division General’s Command Rating and a die roll. A successful die roll places the chit back into the cup and thereby the other Brigades of the Division have a chance to activate in the future. A failed die roll discards the chit for the turn and the remaining Brigades will not be able to activate normally (however, see below).\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCIC Chits. These are a special kind of Activation Chit. The Union player has a Sickles chit and the Confederate player has a Longstreet chit. These chits allow the player to select any one Brigade in the game for activation - even if it has already activated or will be activated later in the turn. Thus, this is the opportunity to activate a Brigade twice in the turn or activate a Brigade from a Division that has lost its Division Activation Chit.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvent Chits. There are nine Event chits assigned to each player. At the start of each turn, players may select any one of these chits to place in the cup (obviously an Event they really want). Three Event chits are randomly thrown out of the turn and will not be used – the remaining five Event chits are also then placed into the cup with the previously pre-selected chit. In this manner, players are never assured of drawing any particular Event chit, except for the one they chose. Each Event chit has a Unique Event side (all the chits have a different Event listed) and a Command Event side. The Unique Event is a tactical event that can be used on the battlefield and each Event has specific effects and options for the player to consider. Examples are Rebel Yell!, Union Logistics, Quick March and Heroic Stand. The Command Event side is used for more strategic options. The Union player may call for reinforcements from the rest of the Army of the Potomac (only the III Corps Divisions are available at start) and the Confederate player can attempt to better coordinate his attack (by increasing his Division General’s Command Ratings).\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWild Chits. These are the two “chaos” chits. One chit is Fog of War, which can possibly cause units from either side to conduct unexpected attacks or withdrawals, or can cause General officer casualties. The other chit is Fortunes of War which will immediately discard the next chit pulled with no effect – including that special pre-selected Event chit if it happens to come up!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMAP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe map is 22” x 34” hexagonal map of the entire south end of the Gettysburg battlefield.

Counters are formatted much like the units in traditional block wargames, allowing step reduction to show damage or reduced numbers without cumbersome markers or rosters.

It may represent one ship or one hundred - or none at all, as it may be a dummy. Reconnaissance is critical, as you must locate the enemy in order to attack him.

To add uncertainty, each side is subject to a special condition in every operation, which may impose additional requirements or restrictions - or afford additional opportunities - while remaining secret from the opponent. Just like their historical counterparts, Allied players can never be certain that the Germans will not attempt to break out into the Atlantic with one or more heavy ships, and Axis players must beware of a possible attack on Norway; both players may face conflicting priorities and demands that must be met with limited resources. In addition, a 1942 \"random\" scenario enhances replay value by further disguising starting forces and objectives.

Next the Apache player moves the Apache forces and then the Army Player moves the US and Mexican forces. Combat may then occur between opposing player forces that share a location.

However, it left them in possession of the strategically important Halfaya Pass, the gateway to Egypt. In addition, British forces were harassing the German defenders with mobile columns to the South. German General Rommel recognized the need to recapture this terrain in order to stabilize the front. Still fearing the British infantry tank, Matilda, an under gunned, ponderous, mobile fortification, Rommel launched three panzer battalions plus supporting units to sweep the British from the field. The offensive was code named, \"Unternehmen Skorpion,\" ultimately known to the Allies as Operation Skorpion. The battle was brief and violent. Although there was a significant disparity in firepower, the Germans had a definite Achilles heel. Can the Germans accomplish their goals of capturing the Halfaya Pass and clearing its southern approaches before their supplies are exhausted, particularly the remainder of their fuel allotment?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperation Skorpion is a relatively short, fast moving game that introduces a new fog of war game system. Opposing strength is unknown until units enter combat. Once revealed, those combat values can continue to fluctuate during the course of the game based on judicious use of mobile supply units, which can distribute and absorb Allocation Points. Although fighting a defensive battle, the British Player is not without counterattack capability. He will find his artillery arm, both direct and indirect fire, to be a potent force. Game rules such as: Combined Arms, HQ Coordinated Combat, Road Overrun, Engineers, and Reconnaissance Probe, all contribute to an appropriate sense of realism. Operation Skorpion provides exciting, tense, and balanced game play. Determining the ultimate winner often occurs on the last or next-to-the last game-turn.

Roberts Award-winning game Downtown. Red Storm is a standalone game that utilizes the Downtown game system to depict a hypothetical air war in May\/June 1987 over the central portion of the NATO\/Warsaw Pact front in central Germany. Like Downtown and Elusive Victory before it, Red Storm is an “operational” level air warfare game where players manage large strike packages and numerous combat air patrols in an effort to strike enemy targets, protect their own ground troops, and secure control of the air over the land battle raging below. Both sides have highly advanced all-weather aircraft, long-range missiles, precision bombs, sophisticated electronic warfare assets, and dense air defense networks of surface-to-air missiles and radar-guided AAA. The game features aircraft from the United States, Poland, West Germany, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Soviet Union, and East Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the NATO player, you fight outnumbered in the air, but with a qualitative edge in technology and better-trained pilots. NATO faces the daunting task of contesting the air in the face of the initial onslaught from the WP air forces while also getting bombs onto targets on the ground both on the frontline and rear echelon forces of the Soviet and East German armies. As the Warsaw Pact player, you must push your numerous but less flexible forces to the absolute limit in an effort to overwhelm NATO forces in the air and destroy them on the ground, all while supporting advancing ground forces. Both players also have to manage their air defense networks consisting of overlapping layers of SAM and AAA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnits\u003cbr\u003eLike earlier games in the series, units in Red Storm are flights of 1 to 4 aircraft, each tasked with different roles such as bombing, combat air patrol, close escort, or jamming support. Red Storm features more than 50 types of aircraft, including both older “3rd Generation” workhorses like the F-4E Phantom II and MiG-23 Flogger as well as advanced “4th Generation” fighters including the US F-15 Eagle, the Poland\/West German Tornado, and the Soviet MiG-29 Fulcrum. Aircraft from the air forces of Belgium, West Germany, the Poland, the United States, the Soviet Union, and East Germany are provided. Ground units depict various types of troop concentrations, SAMs, and AAA assets. The SAM network on both sides is both more numerous and more dangerous than ever, with low-altitude SAMs like the Poland Rapier, US Chaparral, and Soviet SA-13 Gopher joining a daunting array of medium\/high altitude SAMs like the US Patriot and Soviet SA-12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaps and Terrain\u003cbr\u003eTwo 22” x 34” map sheets depict the rough terrain in the central portion of the NATO front line, reaching from the Rhine river in the west to the Thuringia region of southwest East Germany. The map uses the same scale of approximately 2.5 nautical miles per hex used in earlier games in the series. This densely populated region of Europe features numerous rivers, cities, and airfields dot the map. Unlike earlier games in the series, Red Storm features a frontline that moves steadily west as the Warsaw Pact armies advance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame System\u003cbr\u003eLike the earlier games in the series, Red Storm requires both players to do planning for both their air and ground forces prior to a scenario. Raid forces must be generated, targets and routes planned, and aircraft loadouts determined. SAM, AAA, and radar units must be placed to take advantage of the rough terrain and frequently poor weather of central Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring a scenario, players go through a sequence of phases each turn where they conduct electronic warfare, use various means to detect and track enemy flights, and move and fight with their flights while potentially being attacked from the ground. The heart of game is the movement phase where players use a chit-draw system that allows players to alternate moving one to five flights at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScenarios\u003cbr\u003eThe war depicted in Red Storm is a short one, with just six weeks between the start of the air war and a fateful initiation of nuclear warfare by both sides. More than 20 scenarios feature a mix of day and night operational missions for both sides, including missions to directly support frontline ground troops as well as many missions that “go deep” behind enemy lines to strike enemy airfields, logistics, and air defense networks. These range in size from smaller, partial-map ones that can be played in an afternoon to very large, full-map scenarios that might take a couple of days to complete. There are also scenarios depicting reconnaissance missions, airborne drops, helicopter assaults, special forces insertions, cruise missile strikes, and delivery of nuclear weapons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComponents\u003cbr\u003eTwo 22” x 34” maps\u003cbr\u003e1,260 die cut counters\u003cbr\u003eOne Rules Booklet\u003cbr\u003eOne Scenario Booklet\u003cbr\u003eOne Appendices Booklet\u003cbr\u003eFive Full-Color Player Aid Cards\u003cbr\u003eThree Full-Color Aircraft Data Cards\u003cbr\u003eTwo 10-sided dice\u003cbr\u003eNATO and Warsaw Pact log sheets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"closer\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"GMT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30987331141711,"sku":"GMT1912","price":67.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/red-storm.jpg?v=1571923866"},{"product_id":"normandy-alone-in-the-storm","title":"Normandy: Alone in the Storm","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-envelope\" ng-style=\"{maxHeight:expandablectrl.maxHeight}\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-body\" ng-transclude=\"\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"game-description-body ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv ng-bind-html=\"geekitemctrl.wikitext|to_trusted\" class=\"ng-binding\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlone in the Storm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(AITS) provides an exciting and new game experience for newbies and veteran players of War Storm Series games, because this expansion pack includes\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 game modes: solitaire game and semi-cooperative game mode.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis expansion pack\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ekeeps the main rules and game concepts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eof each game in the War Storm Series.

At close quarters in the jungle, at night, and in hamlets surrounded by rice paddies, American soldiers faced their North Vietnamese and Vietcong enemies on even terms.

Units represent fire teams, heavy weapon sections, leaders, vehicles, and helicopters.

Winning doesn't always mean holding the objective if the cost in casualties is too great. Sudden combat in difficult terrain causes command and control to quickly break down. A chit-pull system means command and control is erratic, and volume of fire is rewarded, but results are fickle.

The real flavor of a war in the theatre, though, comes through in the Advanced Game, where you get much more control over airpower and can more clearly see each side's strengths and weaknesses.

The actions of the players are driven by the cards in their hands, which highlight actual events and personalities of that time, while the combat is dice-driven to allow for quick and exciting game-play.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phalanx Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31717083480143,"sku":"PPHAFRE01","price":53.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/pic4540218.jpg?v=1579713630"},{"product_id":"freedom-solo-mode-expansion","title":"Freedom!

When the current ruler of the Austrian crown lands and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Charles VI died without male issue he had laid the groundwork for his eldest daughter Maria Theresa to succeed to the Hapsburg crown lands. Known as the “Pragmatic Sanction”, this diplomatic effort obtained the agreement of the leading powers of Europe to her accession to the Hapsburg dominions and the election of her paramour as the next Holy Roman Emperor. However, with the opportunistic seizure of Silesia by the young Frederick the Great of Prussia, the agreement unraveled and the war began.

Rather than to allow the enemy to go unchallenged Frederick marched his remaining army of 40,000 men composed of Rossbach veterans and Breslau survivors against Charles' nearly 60,000-strong force of Austrians, Hungarians, Imperials, Bavarians and Wurttembergers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a frigid December 5th, in a season when armies usually sought the comfort of winter quarters, the opposing forces met on the snow covered fields surrounding the Silesian village of Leuthen. After deftly maneuvering around Prince Charles' flank Frederick's Prussians attacked with unprecedented fury collapsing the enemy line. However, despite this initial crushing blow the Austrians were able to reorganize their front and fight the Prussians to a standstill leaving the battle's final outcome still in doubt. Only after a climactic cavalry charge did the Habsburg army finally break and retreat to Breslau. Two weeks later the city capitulated and the Austrians evacuated Silesia.

For many across the Finnish political spectrum, the turmoil in Russia looks like an opportunity to fulfill the dream of Finnish national independence.

The White Senate faction, in contrast, has a more traditional war to fight. The Senate will want to enhance their military performance by capabilities such as armored trains, cannons, as well as the Finnish, German-trained 27th Jaeger Battalion.

This gives the German player a strong offensive capability in the first half of the game.

Units are represented by a group of 4 blocks in a hex and a single block represents a leader. Units and leaders may only move and battle when given an order. During a turn when units are battling, the battle dice will resolve combat quickly and efficiently and when the last block of an opposition unit or leader block is eliminated, a player will gain one Victory Banner.

It could only be betrayal - betrayal by communists and the craven factions in government. These were his “Men of 1918.” The German army had not been defeated.

But most importantly, it was the opening of the Second Battle of the Marne.

The French had sixteen infantry divisions, including two US corps-sized divisions, as well as over three hundred tanks. The Germans facing them consisted of ten divisions, the quality of which varied widely although all had taken a battering during the Spring Offensive fighting. The German positions had been reached a few weeks previously during the final thrust of the offensives and therefore there had been no time to extensively fortify it; thus the battle was far more mobile than most of those previously on the Western Front. In addition, German artillery was sparse at the start of the battle because all of the heavy \u0026amp; super-heavy artillery in the area had been sent north for the planned Hagen Offensive in Flanders, giving the French a roughly 2.5:1 advantage in artillery. Although the battle continued beyond when the game ends, it was largely over by the 23 July, progress after that day being very slow, which is why the simulation terminates on that day. The German defence at Soissons was skilfully executed, particularly as the attack had been a complete surprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecisive Victory 1918 is a series of three games that when combined will cover the entire Allied offensive in July of 1918 know as the Second Battle of the Marne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis simulation illustrates the main features of late WWI combat. If the campaigns of 1918 were a far cry from the static trench warfare which had characterized the previous years, defense still retained absolute tactical advantage over the offense. Even with the element of complete surprise and greater numbers of troops and equipment facing a tired enemy, the French army was unable to maintain the pace of the advance attained on the first two days. This was not through any lack of competent commanders: not only could the defender always bring in reinforcements in men and equipment faster than the attacker, but the attacker’s speed, maneuverability, and ability to operate autonomously were still limited. It was very difficult, after the enemy's frontline was breached, to maintain any prolonged advance once the troops had progressed beyond friendly artillery cover and outpaced their logistical services. In addition, a few resolute defenders huddled around a handful of machine guns could inflict grievous casualties and delay vastly superior numbers. To adequately reflect these key aspects of late WWI warfare, the design incorporates elements and mechanisms that depart from the more standard hex \u0026amp; counter systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMoreover, the system emphasizes the need for proper coordination and preparation in order to launch a successful assault: Artillery support, effective command control, and a fundamental factor, most neglected in the vast majority of wargames, time, to draw battle plans, register artillery coordinates, conduct adequate reconnaissance and rest and resupply the troops. Accordingly, the system requires assaults to be prepared one turn in advance. Improvised, “on the move”, attacks are also possible, but are likely to be ineffectual unless facing negligible resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Entente player will have to make the best out of his initial breakthrough, and be careful not to exhaust its offensive power too soon in order to retain some impetus for when German reinforcements move in to consolidate the frontline. Judicious use of his unwieldy and short-lived, but powerful armored assets is critical to the success of the offensive. The German player will have to conduct a methodical retreat, knowing when and where to give ground to preserve his forces and when and where to make a dogged stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe game, playable in one sitting, has a low counter density and is highly suitable for solitaire play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVolume One: Soissons - is a stand alone game that covers the French 10th army sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVolume Two: Chateau Thierry- is a stand alone game that covers the French 6th army sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVolume Three: TBD - is an add-on game (with the previous two) that covers the Eastern half of the offensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"closer\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Legion Wargames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39331465199695,"sku":"","price":63.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/decisive-victory.jpg?v=1619547227"},{"product_id":"commands-colors-samurai-battles","title":"Commands \u0026 Colors: Samurai Battles","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCommands \u0026amp; Colors: Samurai Battles\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003egame rules allow players to portray important engagements of Japanese history.

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 turns of 3-7 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSCS is derived from Breaking the Chains (BtC), but is definitely a different game. How do the two differ? SCS begins with political turns that can lead to victory without armed conflict. For armed conflict, SCS focuses more closely on the South China Sea (45 nmi per hex) rather than the larger southeast Asian region of BtC (70 nmi per hex) and uses smaller units such as air squadrons, ship pairs, and land battalions. Therefore, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"closer\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Compass Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39440965140559,"sku":"CPS1050","price":75.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/south-china-sea.jpg?v=1624551655"},{"product_id":"south-china-sea-vol-ii-indian-ocean-region","title":"South China Sea Vol. II:  Indian Ocean Region","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-envelope\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" ng-style=\"{maxHeight:expandablectrl.maxHeight}\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-body\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" ng-transclude=\"\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"game-description-body ng-scope\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ng-binding\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" ng-bind-html=\"geekitemctrl.wikitext|to_trusted\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-envelope\" ng-style=\"{maxHeight:expandablectrl.maxHeight}\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-body\" ng-transclude=\"\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"game-description-body ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ng-binding\" ng-bind-html=\"geekitemctrl.wikitext|to_trusted\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The profound influence of sea commerce upon the wealth and strength of countries was clearly seen long before the true principles which governed its growth and prosperity were detected. To secure to one's own people a disproportionate share of such benefits, every effort was made to exclude others, either by the peaceful legislative methods of monopoly or prohibitory regulations, or, when these failed, by direct violence. The clash of interests, the angry feelings roused by conflicting attempts thus to appropriate the larger share, if not the whole, of the advantages of commerce, and of distant unsettled commercial regions, led to wars.”\u003cbr\u003e- Alfred Thayer Mahan, The Influence Of Sea Power Upon History, 1660 - 1783\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough advertised as purely commercial ventures, China’s “String of Pearls” (a series of key ports) across the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) gives her the option to assert sea control of that theater, and for good reason. About 80% of the PRC’s oil transits the IOR before bottlenecking at the Strait of Malacca and then going on to terminate at ports in the PRC. Even a Gwadar-Kashgar oil pipeline, designed to bypass the full-length IOR route, would still require some initial sea transport, followed by a vulnerable off load, and couldn’t carry the full load anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, in a modern interpretation of Mahan’s observations, China has used “legislative methods…monopoly…(and) prohibitory regulations” all via diplomacy to secure its oil-toting sea lanes throughout the IOR. Patient cultivation of relations with Pakistan over decades has delivered access to the updated, modern port at Gwadar, Pakistan. Buoyed by Chinese land leases and development projects, Maldivian President Yameen has drifted closer to China while his opposition looks to India. In Sri Lanka, China may have used “debt trap diplomacy” by forgiving debt to obtain certain rights to the port at Hambantota for 99-years. How ironic, after regaining Hong Kong, China is now using tactics reminiscent of Imperial British mercantilists to gain Ceylon! The confidential nature of certain aspects of these deals along with the close association of many Chinese firms to their military and government opens up the possibility of “dual use” facilities that might quickly transition from commercial to military applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThus, as China secures its sea lanes other powers perceive corresponding threats to their own. India can’t help but feel surrounded. The United States has strategic incentive to preserve India as a counterbalance to Chinese expansion. And, any nation drawing oil from the Persian Gulf or Africa must wonder about the possible negative consequences of unrestrained Chinese power. The increasing presence of Chinese naval vessels in the region only strengthens these concerns. So, the IOR is not only a point of potential geopolitical friction, but also a critical theater in any larger global power conflict that erupts over friction elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game Indian Ocean Region enables participants to play out possible future conflicts, circa 2025, from their political beginnings to military endings with the same game mechanics as used in the South China Sea game. Players assume the roles of nations or groups of nations and deal cards in multiple rounds of play each representing three to seven weeks to advance their separate agendas. Each card play might trigger armed conflict. If violence comes to pass, the time scale compresses to three to seven hours per turn and players deploy their military units to resolve matters by force. Those forces include: individual capital ships, pairs or triples of smaller vessels, squadrons of aircraft, and battalions of ground troops all waging war at the far end of logistical shoestrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Information:\u003cbr\u003e• Complexity: 7 out of 10\u003cbr\u003e• Solitaire Suitability: 6 out of 10\u003cbr\u003e• Time Scale: 1 turn = between 3 and 7 hours\u003cbr\u003e• Map Scale: 1 hex = 45 nautical miles\u003cbr\u003e• Unit Scale: aircraft squadrons, pairs of ships\/subs, land battalions\u003cbr\u003e• Players: Best with 2 players but can be played with up to 3 players, or solitaire\u003cbr\u003e• Playing Time: 2-4 hours depending on scenario\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame Components:\u003cbr\u003e• Three 22x 34” map sheets\u003cbr\u003e• Three Countersheets totaling 390 3\/4\" counters\u003cbr\u003e• Deck of 39 political cards\u003cbr\u003e• Two player aid cards\u003cbr\u003e• Rule\/scenario book\u003cbr\u003e• Two Dice\u003cbr\u003e• Box and Lid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame Credits:\u003cbr\u003e• Designer: John Gorkowski\u003cbr\u003e• Artist: Christopher Moeller\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"closer\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"closer\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Compass Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39440966910031,"sku":"CPS1081","price":94.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/south-china-sea-2.jpg?v=1624551800"},{"product_id":"napoleons-wheel","title":"Napoleon's Wheel - Danube Campaign Part 1","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-envelope\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" ng-style=\"{maxHeight:expandablectrl.maxHeight}\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-body\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" ng-transclude=\"\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"game-description-body ng-scope\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ng-binding\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" ng-bind-html=\"geekitemctrl.wikitext|to_trusted\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNapoleon's Wheel\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1805: Danube Campaign I\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScenarios depicted:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUlm — Napoleon's Wheel, 9-15 Oct.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDürenstein — Kutuzov's Trap, 11 Nov.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSchöngrabern — Bagration's Rearguard, 16 Nov.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAusterlitz — The Battle of Pratzen and Sokolnitz, 1-2 Dec.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNapoleon's Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the next games from OSG's The Library of Napoleonic Battles series.

Four powerful Soviet Fronts must be used in close cooperation to overcome the Axis forces, which include two Panzer Armies. The game contains 85% of the total Wehrmacht’s mechanized strength at this stage of the war and 75% of the Red Army’s. The Germans must hold the Dnepr barrier as long as possible, followed by a fighting retreat to the Carpathian Mountains to the west. The Soviets can crush the Axis invader with the advantage of their most reliable ally: General Winter. It is the Third Winter on the Russian Front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Soviets have the initiative and a formidable force, but an equally challenging task. The Dnepr is a huge obstacle and the German panzer formations are wounded but dangerous. The German player has the challenge of active defense in the style of Army Group South Commander Erich von Manstein. Both sides are in for a challenging fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Third Winter is a big game, with 5-mile hexes, 3.5-day turns, and counters for units from battalions up to divisions. The battles from this campaign – the Race to the Dnepr, the Battle of Kiev, Korsun Pocket, the Kamenets-Podolsky pocket (“Hube’s Pocket”) and the splitting of Army Group South in two—merge into the dynamic of whole campaign.\u003cbr\u003eSpecial rules in this 19th game of the Operational Combat Series have been carefully designed to recreate this intense campaign. They include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Soviet Front command structure is modeled by the four Fronts being either on Offensive or Paused posture. The Soviet player can switch one front “off” and another “on” to shift focus and force the Axis to deal with sudden threats in a different part of the map. When Soviet formations are burned out, they withdraw into the “RVGK” for rebuilding, and can reappear suddenly in a new area, enabling Maskirovka surprises. Each Front has a dedicated Air Army and Frontal Barrages to initiate offensives. The game shows the increasing strength and competency of the Red Army in both units and Action ratings.\u003cbr\u003e• German units in play include Kampfgruppe Divisions, German Remnants, German Army and Army Group HQs,Tiger Companies, Hartman and JG52 aces, Hans-Ulrich Rudel and his tank-busting aircraft, and the Romanian Home army\u003cbr\u003e• Random events similar to what are found in the award-winning Beyond the Rhine. These cover things like Soviet Patrol Boat Raids, Lend-Lease, Fuel Shortages, Heroes who affect combat, Arty Ammo Stockpiles, and Partisan Offensives.

NATO simulates a potential NATO\/Warsaw Pact conflict in Central Europe during the Cold War years of the 1980's. First published in 1983, this game was Victory Games best-selling title, purchased by over 75,000 gamers worldwide. This new edition is based on an exhaustive two-year study by the Designer of the records that have come to light since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The game combines highly accurate information on the forces the Warsaw Pact actually had with now de-classified reports from the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency regarding what satellite surveillance and HUMINT revealed about their actual plans. The map has also been extensively updated with new satellite geography. Finally, the game system has been reworked to better reflect the fluid, fast paced and deadly nature of modern warfare, while retaining the original intention of simple and intuitive play. Here is the ultimate Cold War game, remastered, and playable in a single sitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNATO is a division\/brigade level simulation of a Warsaw Pact invasion of Western Europe. The game map depicts the area from Denmark to the Swiss Alps, and from France to Poland. The time frame covers the first 14 days of war, after which one side or the other has usually run out of an army. The game offers four different Scenarios, covering 1) a surprise attack from a standing start, 2) an attempt by the WP to quietly prepare without tipping NATO off beforehand, 3) an extended buildup of forces by both sides before war breaks out, and 4) an introductory scenario covering the invasion of Denmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Scenario can be played with an Order of Battle from 1983, when NATO was still relatively weak, or with an Order of Battle from 1988, when NATO had rearmed and reorganized and was at the peak of its strength.

The Mounties retreated, having taken 25% casualties - the rebellion was on.

Each turn consists of one sortie, during which the player will fly a mission to intercept Amerika Bombers which are en route to bomb the mainland of the United States. As the player progresses, he may choose to upgrade to even more advanced interceptors in this alternate history game.

Once you have your initial pilot along with your assignment, play proceeds by taking off when the enemy bomber force nears, then checking to intercept them before they get a chance to bomb a multitude of targets on the mainland United States. Combat consists of interception from your U.S. carrier or land-based aircraft, depending on where the player is currently located, then intercepting one of six historically modelled (albeit hypothetical) Amerika Bombers. After interception, landing operations occur, with the weather playing a factor again as part of the landing procedure. When the mission is completed, you will ascertain if any awards have been earned or Experience points gained prior to you next sortie. Here you can also spend Experience points if desired to gain skills and may request a new interceptor type if one is available. You will repeat this process by going to your next sortie until shot down and killed, or until the end of March 1948, should you make it through unscathed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDefending Amerika\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis designed as a solitaire gaming experience, additional options for play are provided for both multi-player cooperative and competitive gaming sessions, and an option to link the game with\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/zodiakhairteam.se\/products\/amerika-bomber-evil-queen-of-the-skies?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=931da5019\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eAmerika Bomber: Evil Queen of the Skies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScale:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComplexity: 4 out of 10\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSolitaire Suitability: 10 out of 10\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTime Scale: Weekly turns (individual sorties, 4 per month)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMap Scale: Abstract\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnit Scale: Individual aircraft, weapon systems, specific crew members, and ammo rounds\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlayers: One (with option for two or more)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlaying Time: 60-90 minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComponents:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne Counter Sheet of 9\/16\" unit-counters\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEight Aircraft Display Mats\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNine Player Aid Cards\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne Combat Display Mat\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne Pilot Awards Display Mat\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne Air Operations Mat\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRules Booklet\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne Logsheet\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTwo 6-sided, and one 10-sided die\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBox and Lid\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Compass Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39608361648207,"sku":"CPS1133","price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/defending-america.png?v=1631743669"},{"product_id":"soldiers-in-postmens-uniform-companion-book","title":"Soldiers In Postmen's Uniforms Companion Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Companion Book is a primer on the battle for the post office and provides design and development notes for the game.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 gave new territories the right to “popular sovereignty,” allowing residents to choose whether or not to allow slavery. Within months the stream of settlers to Kansas was swelled by parties of sponsored abolitionists and pro-slavers, all more intent on fighting one another than building a new state. Bushwhacks and gun battles punctuated maneuvers by rival legislatures elected through massive fraud. It would not die out entirely until statehood in January 1861.

The clash came in the early hours of 6 June 1944: D-Day. If the Allies failed to grab a large enough beachhead the invasion would be contained and eventually crushed.

With a very low total counter count and density, this quick playing (while still realistic) simulation presents players with deep strategy meriting contemplation. A system of map areas has been adopted and movement has been streamlined. Combat is handled by the two decks of cards (one German and one Soviet) - meaning no combat tables or dice to roll. These cards are the crux of the game system offering even more variety than regular Combat Result Tables. Like in “No Retreat!” they are used to generate events and special game abilities (ex: Major Offensives, Partisan Raids, Siege Artillery, Increased Replacements, etc…) and now also effortlessly resolve all battle outcomes.

After spending 1942 patrolling the US-Mexico border, the First Team (as it was nicknamed), retired its last horses in February 1943 and shipped out that summer with all four dismounted cavalry regiments: the 5th, 7th, 8th, and 12th. Its first action was invading the Admiralty Islands in February 1944, followed by Leyte and Luzon, where in February 1945 it participated in the bloody battle for Manila (an action being depicted elsewhere). Then almost five years of occupation duty in Japan saw its training deteriorate and its combat capabilities degrade. The 12th Cavalry Regiment was deactivated, and the division was reorganized into the now-standard triangular structure. With the crisis in Korea, they hastily shipped out to the Pusan Perimeter. First Team quickly earned a reputation as second rate but just as quickly re-earned respect while first leading the breakout and then charging into North Korea. Surprised (like everyone else) by the Communist Chinese forces in November 1950, they were thrown back into South Korea with heavy losses. Reversing the momentum, First Team took the fight to the enemy for the rest of 1951, regained some of its swagger, and rotated back to Japan in December after almost 18 months of hard fighting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese 16 scenarios tell the story of First Team across two different wars, but they describe more than just the combat results.

Now that this design has finally come home (to GMT Games), I am here to tell you that this is the end of that publishing journey.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePacific War\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a Strategic wargame that takes you from the attack on Pearl Harbor to the climatic summer of 1945… from Australia to China… from Burma to Hawaii… from the defense of Wake Island through the invasion of Guadalcanal culminating in the desperate battles to defend the Japanese Home Islands.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFor the first time in a Pacific Theater game, size, subtlety, and ease of play has come together in a game of sharp action and historical accuracy.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePlayers can become familiar with the layered\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePacific War\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003esystems in the solitaire Engagement scenarios, then fight their way through increasingly panoramic Battle, Campaign, and Strategic two player and multi-player Scenarios.

The original game came with 21 scenarios. This new edition will add at least half a dozen more. The game gains its monster game reputation from the fact that in order to fight all of these campaigns, you need a large number of counters (over 2000) that represent individual capital ships, cruiser divisions, destroyer squadrons, aircraft groups, and land units ranging from battalions to divisions to corps, with all units individually rated based on their historic performance.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe game map is an equal area map (two mounted maps) which is the grandfather of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eEmpire of the Sun\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emap.

So, how is this level of simulation achieved?\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDuring each monthly turn you bid command points (logistics) to determine initiative (offensive player), with the high bid then activating and launching their forces toward their objectives. Secretly,  your opponent (reaction player) determines the operational intelligence level and their potential to intercept the offensive. As the offensive develops, it comes within range of enemy air and submarine forces that tactically attempt to detect the oncoming attack. The reaction player decides how to defeat the attack based on the intersection of tactical and operational intelligence coupled with available forces and logistics.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis entire sequence is set within a telescoping time scale (days to hours) that has naval units seamlessly accelerate (from 12 to 30+ knots), searches seek out the enemy, carriers launch air strikes, combat air patrols defend, culminating with torpedo and dive bomber attacks on individual naval targets. At its core,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePacific War\u003c\/em\u003e’s game systems allows you to fight detailed carrier strikes (sequential and simultaneous) with night surface naval actions (float planes, gunfire and torpedo salvos) integrated with large scale ground offensives on the Asian mainland (e.g., Malaya, Burma, and China) and of course amphibious invasions (e.g., Java, Guadalcanal, and Leyte). If you are looking for a detailed and interactive operational simulation of the War in the Pacific, this is the game for you!\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nBack in 1985\u003cem\u003e, Pacific War\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas designed by a 31-year-old creating his most ambitious effort to date. I was a full-time game designer (like now) with my 2-year-old daughter (now 37) sitting on my lap (now reserved for granddaughters). Over the last 35 years I have continued to study and research this topic, culminating in 2005 with the design of \u003cem\u003eEmpire of the Sun\u003c\/em\u003e for GMT Games. I am now applying this lifetime of research and experience back into this final edition of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePacific War.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSo, what will change in the new version? The structure and feel of the design will be unchanged, so if you played it in your youth, you already know how to play. That said, a devoted number of players have been playing this game for 35 years and I have incorporated the best of their feedback into this new and final edition for this title. I am going over each scenario and updating them with information that I did not have available back in 1985. For example, I now have several Japanese translations of their official records that were only published in the last few years. Toward this end, I am adding at least six new campaign and strategic scenarios, so you can experience the entire panorama of the war in a long afternoon .\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe key question that I consider when buying a new game is will it hit the table? The owners and reviewers who created the game's reputation were excited that\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePacific War\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehad a layered set of scenarios that incorporated fifteen-minute solitaire learning engagements, two hour battles (such as Coral Sea and Santa Cruz that were used in a decade of tournaments), two to eight hour Campaigns (such as Malaya, Guadalcanal and Breaking the Bismarck barrier), and of course the Strategic scenarios that cover the entire war from a single year to the entire war. Will you ever play the entire war? It's unlikely (to date I have only done it three times). However,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePacific War\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis an operational level game and the Campaign scenarios are the heart and soul of this game system. Most play in an afternoon to completion. So, will it hit the table? Only you can answer that question, but from a time and learning perspective this game will support any time commitment you wish to make, to include the 100+ hour Strategic Scenario.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe other question that was not asked back in 1985, but to many is important in 2022 is \"does Pacific War have a solitaire ‘Bot system?\" The answer is no, with an explanation. The only game decision that cannot reasonably be made is the Operations bidding mechanic and the original game included a solitaire bidding mechanic which will be retained. I will look to see if there are any other similar decisions, such as surface action range bids that I have already added. Thereafter, you will need to play both sides. Due to the history and the game system you will likely not notice as you experience the war’s narrative unfold before you. So, although \u003cem\u003ePacific War\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewill not have a ‘Bot (not even sure how to do that with over 25 scenarios), the game will handle all the interactive bids decisions. If you want a full-blown solitaire opponent, this is not the game for you. \n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWith all of this hype I want to be straight with all perspective buyers of this new edition. If you are looking for a light and airy historically-themed game, please do not buy this game. I do not want to disappoint anyone, so read my lips: if you want a light wargame, do not buy this game.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eI am very excited that I am finally going to get this game back into print. But, like Admiral Picard in the new series, this is my last try to \"make it so.\" Also, understand that this is likely a one and done print run - my final word on this design. I do not expect to walk this path again, so if enough of you are interested in owning\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePacific War\u003c\/em\u003e, I'll give you my best effort to make it a purchase that rewards you with hours of enjoyable and challenging game play. As you might imagine, as I prepare a game this big for the publication process, I have no doubt about  what I will be doing for the remainder of my shelter in place phase.
