Summer of 1941. The Axis invasion of the Soviet Union has begun! Will the vaunted German blitzkrieg prove its invincibility once again? Or will the Soviet Union endure the onslaught long enough to rebuild its might and push back the enemy? Lead the battle-hardened forces of Wehrmacht through unimaginably vast enemy territory or take control of the badly outmatched Soviet Red Army and bide your time for a bloody and devastating counteroffensive. The fate of the war is in your hands! Iron, Blood, Snow & Mud is a low complexity, quick-playing two-player game that gives you control of all German and Soviet forces on the Eastern Front: infantry, armor, and support units (aircraft and fleets). It’s played over the course of four years, each consisting of three markedly different seasons, two of which – the aptly named Mud and Snow – inhibit the use of some actions and units. The movement and its range are predicated on the current season, unit type, and the ability to create and maintain a chain of units. Featuring introductory-level wargame innovative mechanics and fast-paced gameplay easy to learn, hard to master PLAY TIME 60-90 minPLAYER COUNT 2AGE RATING 14+

Most authors relegate the Battle of White Plains to a short paragraph when recounting the New York Campaign of 1776. As the last field battle of that campaign, however, it deserves closer study. Volume 10 in GMT’s award-winning Battles of the American Revolution series by designer Mark Miklos provides such a much-needed analysis.The GameThe game includes three scenarios: the historical fight for Chatterton Hill, an October 31 scenario that explores what might have occurred if Howe had pressed his grand assault that day as planned, and a full four-day campaign game spanning 42 game turns beginning with the arrival of the British army on the field on the morning of October 28 and culminating at 5:00 pm on October 31.Each player has 26 Opportunity Cards subdivided into three decks to enhance play and add elements of variability and historical flavor. As with previous games in the series, some special rules represent the unique circumstances of this battle. Among these are rules governing American sortie restrictions and tactical doctrine, rain game turns, restoring army morale, scorched earth, and additional handicaps for American militia, American fieldwork construction, and an off-board movement mechanism for Tarrytown on the Hudson River, seven miles away where British ships lay at anchor. Even Washington’s own combat prowess at this early stage of the war is randomized.In Volume 10 of the Battles of the American Revolution series, players command two titanic armies: Washington, desperate to salvage something from the otherwise disastrous defense of New York, and Howe seeking a coup de grâce against the “Old Fox.” You will have to manage your forces over the span of four days with lots of inclement weather to contend with. Can you, as General Howe, break through the American line to deliver a decisive blow and end the rebellion? Can you, as General Washington, hold your own on superior ground, hampered as you will be with some 6,700 militia of dubious quality—fully 46% of the total American force?COMPONENTS• 2 hard-mounted maps featuring 1-inch hexes• 245 Unit counters & game markers (1.5 counter sheets), including 7 replacement counters for previous games in the series• 52 Opportunity Cards: 26 American & 26 British• 16 Tactics Cards: 8 American & 8 British• 2 Full color, four-page player aid cards: 1 American & 1 British• 1 Full-color exclusive rule book• 1 Full-color series rule book• 2 dice (10-sided)HistoryAs it occurred, the Battle of White Plains could properly be called the Battle for Chatterton Hill. This relatively limited affair, fought on the American right flank on October 28, 1776, was the only set piece action between the two protagonists. Here some 4,000 British and Hessian troops attacked fewer than 2,000 Americans with the King’s forces ultimately prevailing.The main armies, however, were enormous for the period with 14,500 Americans confronting 13,000 British and Hessians who were eventually reinforced to 15,400, making this one of the largest concentrations of opposing troops during the war and the largest game in the Battles of the American Revolution series to-date. Yet despite this concentration of forces along a front barely three miles wide, the armies sat primarily idle after the fight for Chatterton Hill while the British probed at the flanks, and the Americans improved their defenses.Washington had chosen a strong position which he fortified with two concentric lines of fieldworks that bristled with forty guns. His flanks were anchored on high hills and further secured by the Bronx River to the west and swampy wilderness to the east. Secure in these positions, Washington welcomed the prospect of a frontal assault against his works.For his part, General Howe’s reluctance to launch a frontal attack was due in part to his having witnessed the Battle of Bunker Hill in June, 1775, the memory of that slaughter still fresh in his mind. The weather at White Plains was also a mitigating factor with cold autumn rains falling for much of the week during which the armies remained in contact. Finally, Howe’s own proclivity to hesitate when decisive victory was within his grasp further exacerbated any plans for a major British assault.Washington reacted to the loss of Chatterton Hill by initially refusing his right. Sensing the growing weight of the British host, he eventually swung on a hinge leaving his left where it began, on Hatfield Hill, while pulling the rest of the line back approximately two miles to even higher ground in the North Castle Heights where he dug new fieldworks. Like two heavyweights maneuvering to shorten the ring, each sought an opening—Howe to press the attack on favorable terms and Washington to receive the attack on fortified ground of his choosing.Ultimately reinforced by Lord Percy with six regiments plus some newly-arrived Hessians and having discovered no viable way around the flanks, General Howe determined to attack Washington frontally on the morning of October 31. He stood his men to arms at 5:00 am but driving morning rains cooled his ardor and the army was again ordered to stand down.There was more probing and some long range artillery fire against the American flanks on November 1 to no great consequence. Howe now believed he was facing only an American rear guard in the North Castle Heights lines and saw no value in attacking it, believing that Washington with his main force had already evaded him by marching further north. The armies, therefore, sat staring at one another until November 5-6 when General Howe elected to turn south to complete the conquest of Manhattan by capturing Fort Washington which he did successfully on November 16. As Howe turned south, Washington turned north. He divided his forces into three groups. Major General Lee was to screen the approaches to New England while Major General Heath was to guard the Hudson Highlands and points north. The commander-in-chief with the balance of the army crossed the Hudson River at Peekskill and marched south through New Jersey to stay between the British in New York and the American capitol at Philadelphia.Throughout the White Plains campaign, the prospect for a decisive victory was ever-present. The fact that it didn’t occur is a fascinating story.

    A sweeping conflict in the South Pacific where naval might leads to air superiority. Axis and Allies: Guadalcanal challenges you to control sea zones and island groups while managing troop and supply transport and directing land, sea, and air forces in one of the decisive campaigns of the Second World War's Pacific Theater. Created by Larry Harris, designer of the Axis and Allies board game. Incorporates crucial elements that were key factors in the historical campaign, such as air strip construction, troop and supply transport, and furious land, sea, and air battles. Introduces the Cruiser unit as well as mechanics for land, sea and air combat in the South Pacific using a randomized casualties system. Provides fans with the historical counterpoint to the World War II experience offered by Axis and Allies: Battle of the Bulge. Note the following errata from the AH website:The rulebook states that players get 5 reinforcement points, plus 2 per island they control. This is incorrect due to an error in the rulebook. The correct reinforcement scheme is that each player gets 10 reinforcement, plus 4 per island they control. The game is playable either way, but Avalon Hill recommends playing the correct way (10 and 4 per). We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

This miniatures set is compatible with both Fallout: Wasteland Warfare and Fallout: Factions, as part of the Nuka World wave for Wasteland Warfare and Season One of Factions. ‘They say money makes the world go round, with the way Operators make money, it’s going to be an empty world.’ Without wanting to give them any props, the Operators are a well organised group, more like a crime syndicate than a raider gang. They follow orders, take on jobs, make their own gear and most of all, remain professional. Well armed and armored, Operators don’t kill for fun (unlike the other gangs of Nuka-World), they kill for profit, or out of annoyance, which is occasionally fun. I guess they also kill for fun.

Does that matter if everyone knows you’re just waiting for an excuse to kill them? Fizztop Mountain may have once been a nice place to visit, once. Now it keeps its namesake alive by being packed to the brim with mountains of corpses. A lot like The Pack, most Disciples would describe their perfect Sunday as one full of blood and murder, though they tend to try and at least pretend they’re not thinking about flaying the skin off everyone they meet most of the time. Fans of quick and efficient kills, the Disciples are thrill killers extraordinaire, always eager to move on to their next ‘project’.

This miniatures set is compatible with both Fallout: Wasteland Warfare and Fallout: Factions, as part of the Nuka World wave for Wasteland Warfare and Season One of Factions. ‘The Pack are a lot like eating centuries old candy, bright, exciting and probably going to kill you.’ Brightly coloured, bedecked in whatever interesting knick-knacks they can tape to themselves and wholly ruled by their moment to moment instincts, The Pack are less of a gang and more of… well, a pack. Following their Alpha to the end, members of The Pack tend to be spurred on to random acts of violence throughout the day, not too worried about the reason why, just if it’ll be fun or not. Every choice they make tends to follow that logic, fun over all other things, sadly for everyone else, they think fighting is really, really fun.
