Panzer Grenadier: 1940 The Fall of France

2009-09-05T08:39:00.000-07:00

In the spring of 1940, the French Army appeared invincible. They awaited the expected German offensive with great confidence, ready to repel their ancient foes and overwhelm them in 1941 with a massive wave of new armored divisions. Instead it was the German panzers that did the overwhelming. Despite heroic efforts in which over 90,000 French soldiers lost their lives, within six weeks France had fallen.

1940: The Fall of France is a stand-alone game in the Panzer Grenadier series: You do not need any other game in the series to play any of the 50 scenarios. Design is by wargame veteran Philippe Leonard of Belgium, who has crafted scenarios involving the French Army on the attack and on the defense, with units ranging from the elite Foreign Legion and Coloniale to the pitiful second-line reserves.

Bridge Troll

The first of several new games from Z-man this week.

In BRIDGE TROLL, you and your friends are hideous trolls who each guard a troll bridge. Each turn, you throw boulders to bid for travelers, who vary in number depending on the weather for that day.Travelers include fat merchants, pilgrims, poor monks (who make good eating), and if you are lucky, royal personages. As travelers come to your bridge, you use them to collect tolls. But watch out! Knights, bandits, dragons, and vicious Billy Goats Gruff prowl the countryside. You'll have to use some of your boulders to chase them away (which means you’ll have fewer left to use on your bridge!).

Although you need to collect tolls from travelers so you can buy building supplies, working on your bridge makes you hungry, so you will have to eat some of your travelers instead. It is important to balance tolls with food in order to make your bridge very appealing to travelers. If you eat too many travelers or just collect money, you won't be able to fix up your bridge. The player who uses toll-money,food, and boulders to build the most impressive troll bridge operation wins the game.

The cards in this game feature 30 of the most beautiful pieces of art ever created by Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, Degas and Vermeer. Over the course of four rounds, players use these cards to establish the relative value of each artist’s body of work. Unique mechanics and ingenious design make the gameplay unpredictable and even more fun every time you play. Revel in the beauty of Old Masters art, while enjoying the intriguing game of Masters Gallery.

Remember those unknown, starving, but up-and-coming artists from the early nineties – Lite Metal, Yoko, Christin P., Karl Glitter and Krypto? You first met them in the now-classic Reiner Knizia game Modern Art. Now, almost 20 years later, they have all found fame and fortune in the art world and their masterpieces are displayed in major galleries around the world. But even with their success, the group’s artistic rivalry remains as lively as ever. Whose work sells for the most? Which one has the highest standing in the minds of the art-buying public?

In Modern Art: The Card Game, the players are art critics, collectors and gallery owners. All have their own favorite artist in this pantheon of great or at least they do until the game begins. As it is in art galleries the world over, tastes and opinions change constantly in the world of Modern Art. Today’s treasure is tomorrow’s trash, and no one has more influence on the artists’ values than the players in this game.

Which players will exert the most influence on the art market? Who will be the best at anticipating the quickly-changing tastes and opinions of buyers, and thus assemble the highest-valued collection of these new masters? Only the most influential collector will come out on top in Modern Art: The Card Game!

Arkham Horror Innsmouth Horror Expansion

2009-05-30T03:04:00.000-07:00

Of all the cities found in H.P. Lovecraft’s vision of Massachusetts, perhaps none is quite so deadly as the small fishing village of Innsmouth. Decrepit and dying, Innsmouth is being consumed from within by an ancient pact once made to save the town. The investigators will find every hand turned against them as they explore its rotting docks and fetid beaches. In the end, perhaps the only way to save Innsmouth is by destroying it along with the terrible creatures that haunt its waters near Devil Reef.

Innsmouth Horror introduces several new game concepts to the Arkham Horror board game, including Personal Stories unique to each investigator as well as the Innsmouth Look. The town of Innsmouth is hostile to the investigators, and they may well find themselves thrown in jail and fed to a Shoggoth while they search the town for evidence to call in the Feds. However, leaving Innsmouth to fester is a bad idea, since the Deep Ones will gather and rise, bringing with them the Ancient One. Innsmouth Horror also adds 16 new investigators, eight new Ancient Ones, two new Heralds, Epic Battle cards for the new Ancient Ones, over 30 new monster markers, plenty of new encounters, and an expansion board featuring the town of Innsmouth. Over all, this expansion adds over 300 new cards to the base game.

Innsmouth Horror requires a copy of Arkham Horror to play.

Arkham Horror is a cooperative game for 1–8 players, ages 13 and up, that can be played in 2–4 hours.

Space Alert

2009-05-20T07:08:00.000-07:00

At last the Rio Grande version of this great space game is available.

Players become crewmembers of a small spaceship scanning dangerous sectors of galaxy. The missions last approximately 10 minutes (hyperspace jump, sector scan, hyperspace jump back) and the only task the players have is to protect their ship.

And there's the catch. The game really lasts just 10 minutes. On 2 CDs (or Scenario cards if you don't have a CD player available) are 10-minute soundtracks that represent central computer announcements about the presence of threats. These vary from space battleships and interceptors to different interstellar monsters and abominations, asteroids or even intruders and malfunctions on the board of the ship. Players have to agree who will take care of which task and coordinate their actions (moving around the ship, firing weapons, distributing energy, using battlebots to deal with intruders, launching guided missiles etc.) in real time to defend the ship. Only a well working team can survive 10 minutes and make the jump back to the safety.

The game offers several difficulty levels, huge variability and unique experience for two to five player teams. One mission lasts only about 30 minutes, including setup and evaluation.

The Halls of Montezuma

2009-04-05T05:33:00.000-07:00

The Halls of Montezuma is the new card driven design from David Fox and Michael Welker, bringing a strategic and operational look at the American war with Mexico, tracing the war's history from the opening battles along the Rio Grande to the U.S. invasion of Vera Cruz and the occupation of Mexico City by the future American Civil War leader, Winfield Scott. The Halls of Montezuma (HoM) is a card-driven game that rests on the lower end of the GMT game complexity meter, while still capturing all the tension, uncertainty, and chaos of the conflict.

The American player is cast in the role of President Polk, dealing with a reluctant Congress and an army with excellent commanders but few professional troops. The Mexican player takes on the unique role of handling an unstable central government dependent on the popular and patriotic but volatile Antonio López de Santa Anna (who begins the game in exile). Military forces maneuver throughout parts of Mexico, Texas, and territory that would become the southwestern border region of the expansionary United States, depicted on a point-to-point map of the theatre of war.

Formula D Expansion 1 - Sebring & Chicago

2009-03-28T08:56:00.000-07:00

Two new tracks for the Formula D board game.

Sebring. Stretching over almost 6 kilometers, the Sebring track in Florida alternates between straight stretches, quick curves and slow and technical turns. Plotted over a former military training camp turned into an airfield, this track has been a staple in North-America since the 1930's. Each year, the 12 hours of Sebring take place there: an endurance race, whose slightly uneven course gives pilots the chance to test the resilience of their vehicle in the hot and dry Florida weather.

Chicago. The second track of this expansion offers street racing fans the chance to drive wildly in the streets of Chicago - in the East Park area, to be precise. This track offers an urban terrain which alternates between curves and straight lines. This mad race in the heart of city traffic will give pilots a chance to drive along the impressive Aon Center, one of the tallest skyscrapers of the city, to cross the Lake Shore East Park and its three tightly woven lanes (be careful about collisions!), and then rush along the inner port before finally crossing two vertigo-inducing bridges.

Spartacus

It is 80 BC. The Roman Republic is poised for a new era! Sulla, as Dictator, has ousted the Marians, returned power to the Senate, and worked—in his own brutal way—to restore the Republic to its former glory. But his “reforms” have resulted in violence rather than peace, and rebellion has become the watchword of the times.

This epic period of Roman crisis comes to life in SPARTACUS: Crisis in the Roman Republic! Sparatcus is a two-player, card-driven game (CDG), pitting the multiple threat Sertorians against the might of the Roman Republic. This turbulent situation is played out on a beautifully rendered, point-to-point map covering Spain, Gaul, Italy and Asia. The goal of the Sertorian player is to either occupy Rome, or cause the Empire to plunge into anarchy. The Roman player must prevent both of these events both militarily and by managing the crisis.

2009-03-02T09:47:00.000-08:00

BLOODY OMAHA: D-DAY 1944 is a detailed new ATS system game that tells the story of the D-Day landing at Omaha Beach with incredible detail. The three maps depict Omaha Beach at 50-yards per hex scale. The game maps stretch from Vierville to St. Laurent and provide every draw, house, and German Stuetzpunkt (Strong Point).

The map takes the American landing from Dog Green to Easy Green, with the Dog White and Dog Red landing beaches in between. As for depth, you will be battling almost a mile inland before the ATS gamer can consider his lodgement in Normandy secure. German players will have something to say about all this as they attempt to coordinate fire from Strong Points Wn71 through Wn 66.

A complete beach-landing presentation is provided, taking the ATS gamer personally through a historical experience akin to the first 20-minutes of the seminal film Saving Private Ryan with the difference being their personal attachement to involvement in the action. Will your leaders rally your men off the beach? There will only be two kinds of men on this beach, those that are dead and those that are going to be dead and you will need to summon all your personal willpower and intellect to see your men off the beach and into the hinterland of Normandy.

A super sized complement of counters is provided so you can play the monster scenario and the entire campaign!In keeping with the ATS approach you will receive a stack of small, fast-playing scenarios to get you on that gorgeous map right away. But this is also a monster game that will include a super-sized supply of counters, all you need to play a giant, full-map scenario!You will also receive a copy of the new ATS Campaigns Rulebook, a separate addendum to the system that will allow you to recreate the long, bitter struggle, replete with ebb-and-flow, reinforcement decision making, and outright battle fatigue as you push your cardboard soldiers—and yourself—to the very limits of endurance!

Command At Sea Volume 7: Atlantic Navies Box Set

2009-03-02T09:42:00.000-08:00

Latest in the Command at Sea series.

Three books cover the naval forces of Great Britain and her Commonwealth, Germany and France.

La Guerre Navale: The French Navy in WWII. Scenarios, history and data for the ill fated French fleet in World War II. Well built and equipped, "La Royale" never had a chance to defend the motherland or prove herself in combat. What might have happened as well as what did happen are given equal emphasis.

Gruppe Nord: The Kriegsmarine in WWII. Scenarios, history and data of both the German Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe covering their numerous actions in the North Sea.

Home Fleet: British & Commonwealth Navies in WWII. While some of this data has appeared before in other Admiralty Trilogy publications, it has now been collected in a single volume. New units and equipment have been added, and all values updated to the new unified standard.

Also includes the new, 4th Edition Command at Sea rules - Command at Sea, 4th Edition: An overhaul and streamlining of the award winning 3rd Edition. New rules for dogfighting and air attacks; naval and air attacks are more closely integrated with unit skill factors to allow individual and historical differences between otherwise identical weapons platforms.
Standardization: These Fourth Edition rules have now been brought in line with the other games in the Admiralty Trilogy: Fear God/Dreadnought and Harpoon. Statistics for any ship or aircraft can be used in any Trilogy game without modification or conversion.

All of this information is fleshed out in multiple magnificent countersheets of ships and planes. Atlantic Navies represents the efforts of over a dozen people over several years: Game and scenario designers ofcourse, but also expert contributors like Alexandre Sheldon-Dupleix, artists like Terry Leeds and Mal Wright, and reviewers who not only maintained a standard of excellence, but raised it.
It is simply the most complete and accurate information on the World War II navies of France, Germany and Great Britain to be found anywhere... and comes boxed with the most complete and palatable set of World War II naval rules ever published.
