Bandits 28mm Figures Five 28mm bandits. Metal figures are supplied unpainted. Some of the creatures of darkness employ humans as guards, helpers, or just extra muscle. These are often deserters, criminals and thieves. Whatever their background, they tend to be unscrupulous, uncaring and generally beyond redemption. $20.00 USD
OMM Discount 10%, now $18.00 USD
Goblins 28mm Figures Five 28mm Goblins. Metal figures, designed by Mike Owens, supplied unpainted. The term Goblin is loosely applied to a large group of wingless, 'trickster' fairies, and each nation has their own varieties and terms. While these creatures are small and physically weak, they are also tough, hard-to-kill, and capable of huge amounts of mischief. One of the worst features of Goblins is that their existence seems completely at-odds with technology, and their mere presence causes technology to fail. This, unfortunately, includes firearms. $20.00 USD

AGAINST THE ODDS #55: Lee's Greatest Victory – The Chancellorsville Campaign Area-impulse game, but one unlike anything seen before. Since the appearance of the 'sunset die roll' nearly three decades ago, players have alternated activating a single area, with variation coming in the form of an uncertain turn length. Play has a chess-like feel, with players able to act and react with a great deal of prior calculation. Players no longer know how many impulses they, or their opponent, will have in a turn, creating both opportunities and crises that cannot be anticipated in advance. The 'momentum' swings back and forth but rarely the same way twice. Yet each turn lasts as long as the players wish it to last, ensuring something will happen every turn.
Units of maneuver are Union divisions and Confederate brigades for the most part, with historical leaders present to provide a combat boost though at the risk of being wounded or KIA. Pontoon bridges and entrenchments are part of the basic rules while optional rules incorporate weather and optional units for both sides. It's just six turns long and very playable in one sitting. Components: 22x34-inch map, 176 die-cut counters, and magazine. $45.00 USD
This game forms part of a trilogy of titles by the same designer, with all three games using the same system. Considering ordering the other games, too: ATO #19 Not War But Murder (Cold Harbor, 1864) and ATO #32 Birth of a Legend (7 Days Campaign 1862).
