Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago – Lost Colossus The Ghost Archipelago has returned. A vast island chain, covered in the ruins of ancient and otherworldly civilizations, the Archipelago appears every few centuries, far out in the southern ocean. At such times, pirates, adventurers, wizards, and legendary heroes all descend upon the islands in the hopes of finding lost treasures and powerful artifacts. A few, drawn by the blood of their ancestors, search for the fabled Crystal Pool, whose waters grant abilities far beyond those of normal men. It is only the bravest, however, who venture into the islands, for they are filled with numerous deadly threats. Cannibal tribes, sorcerous serpent-men, and poisonous water-beasts all inhabit the island ruins, guarding their treasure hordes and setting traps for the unwary. This book of fiction collects all-new stories set in the Ghost Archipelago. $16.00 USD

Command and Colors Tricorne: American Revolution The game is based on the highly successful Commands & Colors game system, where the Command cards drive movement while creating a fog of war, and the battle dice resolve combat quickly and efficiently. This game, however, introduces many new game concepts. The scale of the game fluctuates, which allows players to effectively portray some of the larger American Revolution battles, as well as smaller-size skirmish actions. To further emphasize the differences in battlefield doctrine between the British and Continental forces, each army has its own unique deck of combat cards. Includes twelve scenarios. $109.00 USD

155mm Long Tom Gun: In Action The Long Tom or more properly, the 155mm gun M1A1 with M1A1 carriage and M5 limber, and the related 8-inch howitzer M1, formed the backbone of the U.S. Army's heavy field artillery during World War II and Korea. These towed artillery weapons initially used the Mack NO 7.5-ton 6 x 6 as a prime mover, which was augmented by the M4 high-speed tractor during the later stages of WWII. With ranges of just over 14 miles for the gun, and 10.5 miles for the howitzer, the duo served for many more years – with an associated change in the prime mover, to the M125 10-ton 6 x 6. This 80-page book documents the development and deployment of these iconic weapons, as well as their prime movers and caissons through 227 archival photos. $20.00 USD

CH-47 Chinook: in Action The Boeing Vertol CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift helicopter has become an icon. Its tandem, contra-rotating rotors whirling above an aluminum fuselage punctuated by round porthole windows make this battlefield beast easily recognizable. Its status is owed to its long service life of more than 55 years. Experts predict its longevity will ultimately reach a century of service for heavy lift and use as a flying bus to deliver troops to the fight. $30.00 USD

Attack on the Somme: 1st Anzac Corps and the Battle of Pozieres Ridge, 1916 The Battle of Pozieres Ridge lasted precisely six weeks. In that time, the 1st Anzac Corps, in whose sector most of the fighting took place, advanced the British line just over a mile and a half in a northwesterly direction. During this period of time, the three divisions of 1st Anzac Corps rotated in and out of the line twice, each time conducting one or more offensive operations against heavily defended German positions. At its conclusion, the fighting around Pozieres and Mouquet Farm had yielded very modest territorial gains at an enormous casualty rate. Includes 37 maps and 25 photos. $60.00 USD
