Libertadores del Sur is a two-player military simulation wargame of the Southern Theater of the Latin American Wars for Independence. The Patriot player controls the Argentine Ruling Directory forces and various federated and allied forces, while the Royalist player controls Spanish Regular Army, trained Loyalist South American forces and militia units. Several other historical armed factions contend for each player's attention when formulating strategy, from a land grabbing Portuguese-Brazilian Imperialist army, to local guerrilla units, breakaway Federal Republics, and a native Incan Rebellion in the Andes Highlands. Each player will face similar daunting logistical and political challenges as they attempt to impose their military will on their opponents over a vast theater of operations spanning Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, and parts Bolivia & Brazil.

Libertadores del Sur is an operational level simulation with a point to point card driven game system. Each turn represents one year's campaigning season. The players have a chance to raise and reorganize new forces prior to beginning operations, and reset their sides' morale, depending on how many provinces they control. During the Operations phase, players take turns playing cards causing historical events and/or activate forces to move and attack. Operations continue until the player's run out of cards, or run out of morale. When operations end, the players have a chance to consolidate political control over provinces where they drove out enemy forces, and combat units fall back to controlled areas. There are three scenarios allowing the players to start at different points of the campaign. The 1810 scenario starts with the first of the local juntas establishing themselves in response to Napoleon's invasion of the Iberian Peninsula. The 1814 scenario begins with Argentine General San Martin superseding Argentine General Belgrano, and the Patriots attempting to recover from various strategic set-backs. The 1817 scenario is a mini-game covering only the liberation of Chile.

Libertadores del Sur es un juego de guerra de simulacion militar para dos jugadores, sobre los escenarios vividos en el Sur de las Guerras Latinoamericanas independentistas. El jugador "Patriota" controla las fuerzas del Directorio Gobernante Argentino y varias fuerzas federadas y aliadas, mientras que el jugador "Realista" controla el Ejercito Regular Espanol, las fuerzas leales sudamericanas y las unidades de milicia. Algunas de las otras facciones armadas historicas compiten por la atencion de cada jugador cuando formulan una estrategia, desde un ejercito imperialista portugues en Brasil, que se aduena desde tierras hasta unidades guerrilleras locales, republicas federales disidentes y una rebelion Inca nativa en las tierras altas de los Andes. Cada jugador enfrentara desafios logisticos y politicos similares, mientras intentan imponer su voluntad militar a sus oponentes en un vasto terreno de operaciones que abarca Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay y partes de Bolivia y Brasil.

Libertadores del Sur es una simulacion de nivel operacional, con un sistema de juego de tarjetas punto a punto. Cada turno representa un termino (periodo) de un ano. Los jugadores tienen la oportunidad de levantar y reorganizar nuevas fuerzas antes de comenzar las operaciones y restablecer la moral de sus bandos, segun la cantidad de provincias que controlen. Durante la fase de Operaciones, los jugadores se turnan para jugar cartas causando eventos historicos y/o activar fuerzas para moverse y atacar. Las operaciones continuan hasta que el jugador se quede sin cartas o se quede sin moral.

Cuando terminan las operaciones, los jugadores tienen la oportunidad de consolidar el control politico sobre las provincias donde expulsaron a las fuerzas enemigas y las unidades de combate vuelven a las areas controladas. Hay tres escenarios que permiten a los jugadores comenzar en diferentes puntos de la campana. El escenario de 1810 comienza cuando la primera de las juntas locales se establece en respuesta a la invasion de Napoleon en la Peninsula Iberica. El escenario de 1814 comienza con el General de Argentina Jose de San Martin, reemplazando al General Manuel Belgrano y a los patriotas que intentan recuperarse de varios contratiempos estrategicos. El escenario de 1817 es un mini-juego que solo cubre la liberacion de Chile.

1066: Year of Destiny is a three player game covering the various claimants to the crown of England following the death of Edward the Confessor in January 1066. The players fulfill the roles of Harald Harada, Harold Godwinson and William of Normandy. The game is split into a number of phases, each of which is designed to illustrate a key component in determining who takes the crown. Never before has this iconic campaign been gamed with all four key facets illustrated (politics, invasion, operational campaign and battles). There are a number of very good battle games but not much for the operational phase and nothing showing the political interplay or the perils of the sea crossings themselves. The game is easily playable in a single session (4-5 hours).

The victory conditions for each player differ slightly, requiring differing strategies for each side. Sweyn of Denmark is waiting in the wings. If no one 'Becomes a Dane' then the system takes over the game system and it will determine if he arrives or not. Leave London inadequately protected and he will take it and without it neither William or Harold can win a decisive victory.

4 Kings, 1 Crown, have you got what it takes to become the undisputed King of England.

Failure on the Tugela covers the attempts by the British to relieve Ladysmith following the failure at Colenso on the 15th December 1899. These attempts took place during the months on January and February 1900, most famously at Spion Kop.

The core game will use the same mechanics as the previously released game Redvers Reverse (the battle Colenso, 1899) utilizing the same scale for the map and counters. To reiterate the games mechanics - it is at Battalion and Battery level with emphasis upon the leadership of the British at a Brigade level for Infantry and at Divisional level for the Cavalry. The key feature of the game is to present the player with the problems and difficulties that Buller himself faced.

However there are key differences. Most notably is the fact that a game system that previously covered nothing more than a few hours will now cover a number of weeks. This is achieved by giving the player the opportunity to make a maximum of three breakthrough attempts in order to reach Ladysmith. This fits with the historical attempts on the Tabanyana Heights, Spion Kop and Val Krantz. Each breakthrough attempt, and its outcome, will have an impact on subsequent attempts. The player will have a series of predetermined target areas, at three different levels for each attempt. The level of success will determine the starting level of the Boer Confidence track for the next attempt. The more casualties inflicted the more diluted will be the Boer variable strength marker pool. However push too far and you own strength levels will be compromised with the increased likelihood of losing good quality leaders for the next breakthrough attempt. For each attempt you can push on into a second day but this is not without risk and will require you to reach a higher level of target area. Failure to reach any of the harder targets may well improve, rather than decrease Boer confidence levels.

The Seven Hex System (SHS) derives its name from the map which is divided into areas comprised of seven hexes which enables the player to adopt various positions within an area to reflect different tactical formations thereby making it more likely that an attack will succeed or defending units will stand firm. The SHS incorporates several unique features intended to replicate in a simple and intuitive way the options available to a commander (the wargamer) of a large army. So whilst the commander has complete freedom to devise a plan, and a good deal when positioning units which have yet to encounter the enemy, once battle is joined the options become increasingly limited and unforeseen events can play a part in determining the outcome. Nonetheless, even at a tactical level a commander's decisions are crucial in shaping events. The key to success is a sound plan with a margin for error which allows for ill-fortune, the shrewd deployment of units so as to be able to implement that plan, and the timely commitment of reserves.

Vindaloo simulates four battles of the 2nd Anglo-Mahratta War in India, in which Major General, The Honorable Arthur Wellesley, later the Duke of Wellington, had field command in the Deccan... plus the important battles of the northern (Hindustan) scene (under General Lake); all of which were part of the ongoing efforts of the British, in the guise of their East India Company, to gobble up an entire continent and civilization. The Mahrattas were tough, albeit unusual, fighters who gave the British something they truly quite didn't understand. Vindaloo, of course, is a standard element of Goan cuisine derived from the Portuguese carne de vinha d'alhos (literally "meat in garlic wine marinade"), a feisty and spicy dish found in virtually every Indian restaurant. It does give ole Welly two Loos.

Prelude to War: Europe 1936-1939 is a detailed historical simulation game, fast-paced and very interactive, that recreates the political, diplomatic and military maneuvering that preceded the outbreak of the Second World War.

Players advance their goals through actions such as Diplomacy, Appeasement, Intimidation, Agitation, Pact Offers, Embargo Enforcement, Military Aid, Minor Country Conflict Arbitration, Regime Consolidation, Annexations, Partitions, or Military Invasions.

In addition to exploring a number of alternative, but plausible, courses of history, the game focuses on detailing the chain of events that lead to the various crises, the inner workings behind their resolutions, and the various aspects of their consequences.

The diplomatic wrangling and muscle-flexing between the major powers is translated into a "challenge" mechanism where players stake national pride and international credibility until one side caves in, or the escalation culminates in a final "test of nerves" that determines the victor. The resolution of these challenges does not involve any dice rolling and is essentially a mind game based on bluff and risk-management.

The initial scenario may be played by two players, although it is designed to be a solitaire introduction to the system and also a way to let players experience and study this historic battle, to give insight into much of what happened and why. The likelihood is that you will achieve the historical result, a Japanese Tactical Victory. The standard scenario presents all of the forces available to both sides and allows the Japanese player to modify his or her deployment and attack plans up to and including the composition of the two attack waves. If you think you can plan a more successful attack than Minoru Genda did, you have here the tools to try. Conversely, the U.S. player has the opportunity to fight back to the best of his or her ability, and various optional rules - particularly variations in the initial Alert Level - give the U.S. player more assets with which to fight and more assets to save through evacuation.

The battle itself was a grinding slugfest often described as a "soldier's battle" - a deliberate slight to the often uninspired leadership of the generals and a tribute to an allied victory gained only at the tip of the bayonet. Villagers in the surrounding region would do their best in the days after to treat the myriad wounded, and answer as to why Austrians, Hungarians, Czechs, Serbs, and Slovaks were treated as well as the Italians: "Tutti fratelli" (All are brothers). The battle pits two Austrian armies against the combined forces of France and Sardinia-Piedmont, and features the full panoply of colorful period units - Jagers and Grenzers, massed cavalry divisions of all types, Bersaglieri, French Imperial Guard, and the French African Zouaves and Turcos. Advances in infantry and artillery firepower would soon make the tactics of the time obsolete, and the carnage at Solferino reflected the start of this paradigm shift, soon to be highlighted bloodily by the Austro-Prussian and Franco-Prussian wars.

The Allies faced a difficult decision. Abandoning the city would be a huge loss of face that could lead to the eventual loss of all of Germany to the communist bloc. On the other hand, with all land routes into Berlin cut the city could only be supplied by air, and was such a thing even possible? The Soviets didn't think so. When the blockade commenced, Americans were only capable of delivering 300 tons of supply a day. Together with the British who could manage 400 daily tons. Officials admitted the tonnage still fell woefully short.

Supplying a major city by air for an indefinite amount of time? Nothing approaching it had ever been attempted. Despite the overwhelming odds, the Allies determined to give it a go. Veteran pilots and aircrews were recalled as disbanded cargo units were refitted and flown back to Europe. The effort was massive... no, it was beyond massive, nevertheless, Stalin was certain the operation would fail. His determined opponents proved him wrong. This Herculean effort is remembered as the West's most selfless accomplishment.

Over the course of 12 months the airlift provided 2,225,510 tons of cargo for the city's survival. At one point an airlift plane was lifting off every four minutes. In the end, more supply was provided to Berlin by air than could have been provided by rail. The Soviets did not stand passively by. There were 726 recorded instances of Soviet harassment involving everything from aerial buzzing, and ground fire to rockets, chemicals, smoke and balloons. In the course of the airlift 25 aircraft were lost, costing the lives of over 100 American, British and German personnel. And during the course of the airlift, many curious and heartwarming incidents enhanced the legend of their effort, including the candy bomber, the tour of Clarence the camel and the Easter Parade.

The armored units of the 4th Panzer Army partly captured Voronezh on 6 July by occupying the western river-bank suburbs, however German troops were subjected to a Red Army counter-attack. The 4th Panzer Army was to be followed by the Sixth Army, and when Voronezh was occupied the former was to wheel south-eastward and move down the right bank of the Don towards Stalingrad as part of Operation Blau. It took two days for infantry divisions from the Army Group South to reach Voronezh to hold the line and free the Panzer troops; Adolf Hitler later came to believe that these two days, when combined with other avoidable delays on the drive south, allowed Marshal Semyon Timoshenko to reinforce the forces in Stalingrad before the 4th Panzer Army could arrive.
