Formula D Expansion 1 - Sebring & Chicago


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.

Small World


A new fantasy themed game from Days of Wonder.


In Small World, players vie for conquest and control of a world that is simply too small to accommodate them all. Small World is inhabited by a zany cast of characters such as dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs and even humans; who use their troops to occupy territory and conquer adjacent lands in order to push the other races off the face of the earth.

Picking the right combination from the 14 different fantasy races and 20 unique special powers, players rush to expand their empires - often at the expense of weaker neighbors. Yet they must also know when to push their own over-extended civilization into decline and ride a new one to victory!

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.

Components
1 map - 22" x 34" 1 rules booklet 110 cards 2 countersheets Dice
Complexity: Moderate
Playing Time: 3-5 hours
Solitaire Suitability: Fair (due to card-driven dynamic)


RRP £55.99

CUTTHROAT CAVERNS: TOMBS and TOMES


A second expansion this month for the awaiting reprint Cutthroat Caverns.


Cutthroat Caverns has often been described as a diceless RPG game and that has never been closer to the truth than with this expansion. For, introducing players to the devastatingly cruel new monsters, thought provoking additions to the Event deck and even more hugely powerful Relics, are two action-packed, full-on Adventure Modules.Just living and having the most Prestige may no longer be enough to secure a win. And livingis no easy matter. Ragnarok the End Bringer is aptly named. Greed allows any Attack card to be played as a Critical Miss. The Lich will turn fallen friends into fallen fiends. All that and you need to effect a rescue too.


RRP £21.99


CUTTHROAT CAVERNS: RELICS & RUIN


An expansion for the popular but currently unavailable fantasy game.


Relics & Ruin is a larger expansion which introduces a number of new mechanics to the game. The new EVENT DECK has the ability to turn familiar Encounters into whole new challenges. In addition, it provides richer rewards. Some Event Cards indicate a Treasure has been found - but unlike the Items in the base game, these treasures must be earned - and have a unique set of conditions for each card. Those treasures are the next innovation - powerful RELICS which give the characters game changing abilities, many continuously active throughout the game. Then, there are the 15 new Encounters - and they are decidedly more deadly than ever.

Bloody Omaha: D-Day 1944


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


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.
