Tactica II: 2nd Edition – PDF Version After 30 years of global play, Tactica receives an updated, upgraded version – Tactica II – that keeps the same streamlined system using multi-based units, clarifies the existing rules, and incorporates improvements to all aspects of this game. Tactical formations represent ancient armies with movement and command control intertwined within the course of a battle. Unit Fighting Value still forms the core of the D6 combat system, and all significant troop types, weapons, and special tactical conditions are included to differentiate armies. Tactica II comes packed with well-playtested rules, plentiful diagrams, and army lists. Scales are approximately as follows: one figure equals 40 to 60 soldiers depending upon troop type, density, tactical operating area, and unit size; one inch is approximately 10 to 15 yards; and one turn equals about 20 minutes. $36.00 USD

Ravenfeast: Viking Skirmish Rules. Set of rules from Little Wars TV. 44 pages offer a good introduction into wargaming, the historical period, and how to start out from pretty much nothing.

Expanded Rules and Extras: Rune Cards can be downloaded and printed off at home, and they give you once-a-game powers which often allow you to break the core rules and do something fun and different. You'll have to work out just when you should be using these to get the most from them. You can also play with Geld – a currency which can be spent and stolen from the warbands in play. $10.00 USD

Napoleon's Stolen Army: How the Royal Navy Rescued a Spanish Army in the Baltic. A Spanish army, commanded by the Marques de La Romana, which was sent to Denmark by Napoleon in 1807, when France and Spain were allies bound by the Treaty of San Ildefonso, signed in 1796. When relations between the two countries broke down in May 1808, they were soon at war with each other, and La Romana's troops became, in effect, a captive army in the hands of the French. When Spain looked to create an alliance with Britain against her erstwhile ally, they found the British government only too eager to help. The Royal Navy's dominant presence in the Baltic provided a ready opportunity to seal the new alliance and, once the political groundwork had been laid, plans for a daring rescue of the entrapped Spaniards by Vice Admiral Keats' squadron were drawn up. However, while efforts were being made by the British to accumulate and prepare a sufficient amount of shipping to carry out the operation, difficulties soon arose in making contact with La Romana in order to convey to him the intentions of the Spanish and British high commands. This almost led to disaster, and the whole operation was saved only by some remarkable strokes of fortune, and remarkable leadership provided by Keats and La Romana. Includes seven black-and-white illustrations, eight pages of color plates, and eight maps. $45.00 USD

At the Point of the Bayonet: The Peninsular War Battles of Arroyomolinos and Almaraz 1811-1812. Rowland Hill was one of the Duke of Wellington's most trusted subordinates, known for caring deeply for the welfare of his men, but the battles of Arroyomolinos (1811) and Almaraz (1812) show that he was far more than just Daddy Hill and a safe pair of hands. He was also a general of considerable skill and daring. At Arroyomolinos, he led his troops for days through appalling weather to outmaneuver and then decimate an entire French division in a perfectly conceived surprise attack. At Almaraz, he advanced far from allied lines to capture and then destroy a vital French bridge, overcoming considerable logistical challenges and substantial defenses, and paving the way for Wellington's victory at Salamanca. Includes 58 photos and illustrations, eight pages of color plates, and nine maps. $38.00 USD
