#preorder alert

Now available on Kickstarter. ‘65 -Squad-Level Combat in the Jungles of Vietnam by Mark H. Walker (Forgotten Heroes, Band of Heroes). A squad-level, tactical game, ’65 recounts the early battles of the Vietnam War, from Ia Drang to Operation Starlight, and most everything between.

The large and beautiful counters (1" to 1.375" square) represent squads, Leaders, Heroes, Snipers, M-48 and Pt-76 tanks, and more. As these units’ commander gamers move and fight over several geomorphic game boards as they try to best their opponent in one of eight, nail-biting historical scenarios.

The game is card-driven, using a system similar to Flying Pig’s Night of Man, adding a sense of delicious uncertainty to the play. “Can I advance my sappers or does the enemy have a fire card he’s just waiting to play?“

Alone in the Storm is available to pre-order now! Alone in the Storm (AitS) provides an exciting and new game experience for newbies and veteran players of War Storm Series games, because this expansion pack includes 2 game modes: solitaire game and semi-cooperative game mode.

Revolution Road is also available to pre-order. Revolution Road contains two separate games encompassing the two Massachusetts flashpoints that ignited the American Revolutionary War in 1775; the running battle between the Colonists and British regulars in the trek to and from Concord and the epic Battle of Bunker Hill that followed.

Blitz! A World in Conflict is a grand strategy game where players fight all the battles and manage all the economies of the five major powers who fought World War II: Germany and Japan for the Axis, and for the Allies: the Anglo-French Alliance (Great Britain, France, the British Commonwealth nations, and all of their colonies), the United States of America, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Developed in cooperation with the Australian Design Group.

Paper Wars Issue 81: Position Magnifique

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

Fatal Alliances: The Great War

Now available for preorder from Flying Pig Games. Back, bigger, and better than ever, Yaah! Magazine issue #4 is up for pre-order. This issue is jammed full with Poland Strikes, a Mark H. Walker-designed tactical World War Three-ish game based on the Sticks and Stones system introduced by Tiny Battle Publishing. While the USSR is distracted by the West, Poland decides to settle the score with Hungary after years of escalating tensions along the border. With four scenarios and 88 counters gorgeously illustrated by wunderkind Christian Sperling (Neuschwabenland), it’s a cold-war-goes-hot tactical combat blast from our Madonna-rich past. If you like tanks, dice, and fun, you’ll lovePoland Strikes.
