Tom Dalgliesh will be attending the 2007 World Boardgaming Championships in Lancaster, PA, next week.
The Columbia tournament events for this year include War of 1812, Hammer of the Scots, Liberty, Crusader Rex, and Slapshot.
Tom will also have prototypes of several games we're working on here now, and will be organizing test-games. If you'd like to be involved, he'd appreciate knowing in advance. Tom can be reached at tom@columbiagames.com. Playtests of projects on the GamePlan such as Athens and Sparta, Texas Glory, and Shiloh will probably be on hand.
If you're attending the WBC this year, we have a special offer for you:
Order via columbiagames.com by Monday, July 30th, using the coupon code "WBC," and we'll bring your game(s) to the dealer room at the convention. You'll get a 10% discount and free shipping, as well as the convenience of having your prepaid when you arrive.
When you come to pick up your game, you'll also have a chance to get Tom to autograph it (if you ask).
NEW WIZARD KINGS SCENARIOS
A pair of linked Wizard Kings scenarios are now available free from the Wizard Kings scenario page.
The new scenarios are based upon the final battles fought by Harold Godwinson, the last Saxon King of England, in 1066. They may be played as standalone battles, or as linked scenarios. They require only the basic units that come in the Wizard Kings 2.0 boxed set. Thanks to Christopher Brandon for the submission.
As always, we welcome new scenario submissions and other creative ideas.
NEW RULES TRANSLATIONS POSTED
Spanish translations of WestFront 2 and Rommel in the Desert are now available on the pages about those games (click Translations under Free Resources). We're continuing to expand our selection of translated rules, and welcome more submissions in many languages. We "pay" generously with free games! Source files (text and images) are available on request.
