And, no it's not about Marvel's latest blockbuster.
Following the successful launch of the VIII Corps game the development of the second card game in the Somme Series, X Corps, is now well under way. The new card decks have been designed and tested.
Historically X Corps faced a much easier task than VIII Corps so the game has a finely balanced set of victory conditions although the British still face a difficult task.
The cards and rules for X Corps are built on those used for VIII Corps with the addition of some new cards and mechanisms. X Corps introduces the use of "No Man's Land" reflecting its importance to both sides and the German use of artillery in both tactical defence and in supporting counter-attacks.
The release of X Corps is pivotal to the rest of the Somme Series of card games. In the coming months we will be releasing three further games: III, XV and XIII Corps. They will use the same rules as X Corps with card decks tailored to match the different experiences of each Corps on July 1st 1916. Therefore we are taking extra care to ensure the X Corps rules are "spot on".
III, XV and XIII Corps will be released as supplements to X Corps and contain just a set of cards. You will need a copy of X Corps to play these games.
