1871: Franco-Prussian War Rules 1871 fast-play rules for the Franco-Prussian War – the latest in Bruce Weigle's popular 1870 series of rules for the mid-19th Century European wars of transition. While 1871 features the same tried-and-true game mechanics as his earlier 1870-1859-1866 rules, the fire combat, charge/melee, and morale sections have been radically streamlined – effectively halving the time it takes to play each turn. 1871 is completely compatible with the earlier rules, and includes ample designer's notes, color illustrations, examples of play, and twelve new historical battle scenarios (from both the Imperial and Republican phases of the war). However, it does not repeat the extensive historical or bibliographic information already found in 1870. $37.00 USD
Combat Patrol Set: WWII Rules Includes two player decks and one activation deck. Combat Patrol features the G.A.M.E.R. engine. G.A.M.E.R. (Guts, Accuracy, Melee, Endurance, Reaction) is a unique skirmish system in which cards are used not just for activation, but for all aspects of combat resolution and melee. No dice are used to resolve combat. Over three years were spent in development. The result is a system that flows smoothly and supports many-player gamers. Player deck cards record stats and situation. $42.00 USD

Hitler Versus Stalin: The Eastern Front 1943-1944 – Kursk to Bagration: Images of War Series Next in the Images series and the third volume in Nik Cornish's photographic history of the Eastern Front in WWII. Previously unpublished images show the epic scale of the build-up to the Kursk battle and the enormous cost in terms of lives and material of the battle itself. They also show that the military initiative was now firmly in Soviet hands, for the balance of power on the Eastern Front had shifted and the Germans were on the defensive and in retreat. Subsequent chapters chronicle the hard-fought and bloody German withdrawal across western Russia and the Ukraine, recording the Red Army's liberation of occupied Soviet territory, the recovery of key cities like Orel, Kharkov and Kiev, the raising of the siege of Leningrad and the advance to the borders of the Baltic states. $25.00 USD
