Napoleon Bonaparte’s eleven month exile on Elba ended in March 1815 with his return to France. The French people welcomed him, but cautiously. They wanted no more wars, and Napoleon duly (and probably duplicitously) pledged peace to the French and all of Europe.
His former opponents, then bickering in Vienna over the future of Europe, would have none of it. They formed the Seventh Coalition and put their armies on a war footing; by early spring 800,000 men were under arms.
SAMPLE FROM STRATEGY & TACTICS #292
Félix Philippoteaux’s classic painting of a French cavalry charge at Waterloo gives a good feel for the dense formations and the proximity of opposing soldiers. It is inaccurate on
two important points: the ridge occupied by the Allied army was not nearly so hilly, and the French attacks were not delivered at the run because of crowding and mud.

Dear Fellow Wargamers:
Welcome to Dispatch #28. This issue we are featuring the first three games coming out of our new, re-booted pledge program. First we have Wellington’s Victory with a beautiful, updated map, a fantastic set of counters that were selected through customer choice and feedback over several months on CSW, and an updated game system. Second, we have the classic napoleon’s last Battles. This game has also had a thorough update of the map and counter graphics (please take a look at the samples on the pledge page). The original game system has been loved for nearly four decades so we didn’t change anything in the game system, but we did add several new options, most notably the ability to add additional counters or exchange the original counters for variants that have been proposed such as the addition of Hal force as well as several leaders, and the substitution of the overly strong Prussian artillery for a more accurate OOB (and several other substitution possibilities for the French and Prussian forces). Finally, we are releasing the long-awaited third volume in John’ Butterfield’s D-Day series, D-Day at Peleliu. This game covers not only the landings but the long inland battle (a planned four-day battle turned into a two and a half month brutal campaign). So, we get the same great solitaire system and played and loved at Omaha Beach and Tarawa and now, new terrain and obstacles to overcome. All three games will be shipping by the end of May.
Then, we can only tease you with the upcoming folio and mini game releases that begin in June. We have four folios, three from WWII, each a different theater, and one SF title. alamein covers the first assault with the dramatic battles as Panzer Army Afrika attempts to breakthrough. mortain takes us to a German counterattack during the battle for Normandy. shanghai incident moves us to one of the early battles of the Second-Sino-Japanese War (a conflict that merged into other parts of World War II) as the Japanese attack the Chinese for the first time at Shanghai (the second battle is covered in an upcoming World at War issue). Battles for the galactic empire takes us to the far future as the Imperial and Rebel forces compete for control of a sector of the Milky Way galaxy (from the popular struggle for the galactic empire solitaire game).
We also have 12 new mini-games. These include eight more of Miranda’s minis: long range Desert group (made us all want to see old episodes of Rat Patrol!), Von lettow (WWI East Africa), merrill’s mauraders (WWII CBI), mig alley (Korean air war), suez ‘56, and Khe sahn, and two solitaire SF prequels to the upcoming Free mars boxed game: Phobos rising (about a commando team on Mars), and operation stolen Base (about a Rebel task force attempting to seize the dwarf planet Ceres). Perello also provided four more Musket & Saber Quick Play games: germantown, saratoga, mansfield, and Wilson’s creek.
Alright, so that’s the new game releases. What about a Desert Fox Games offer? How about something we’ve never done before? How about free shipping on all Desert Fox Games? Yes, that’s right, all you guys in Europe and Australia who write us about how it costs more to ship than the cost of the games, free shipping! In fact, let’s include Decision Games in that as well to give you even more choices to meet those minimums (minimum $75 for US, $150 for non-US). So, that’s free shipping on a Desert Fox and Decision Games order right now. Then, 25% off any or all of the three new pledge program games if you complete your pledge order before the 30 Apr 15 deadline. And finally, keep checking back for the release of those four new folio and twelve new mini-games beginning in June.
Thanks again for your support,

The Quest for Annihilation The Role & Mechanics of Battle in the American Civil War
by Christopher Perello
Civil War came to the US when the first shot was fired at Fort Sumter on 12 April 1861. Most, including the leaders of both sides, thought it would be won or lost quickly, with a great battlefield collision. Instead, it ground on for four years. Battles were frequent, but each one rarely decided more than the control of a single town or a few blood soaked fields.The book is loaded with detail, and is illustrated with more than 320 maps, diagrams, photographs, orders of battle and data tables (320 pages).

Crowns in the GutterA Strategic Analysis of World War I
by Ted S. RaicerIllustrated by Christopher Perello
World War I was the crucial event of the 20th century, as the great European powers — which until then dominated the world economically, militarily and politically — destroyed themselves. That led to a second war a generation later, enabled the ascendance of the United States and Soviet Union, and unleashed the forces of nationalism and self-determination around the globe. Crowns in the Gutter provides a concise analysis of the strategies and tactics employed to try to achieve those goals. The narrative also has dozens of maps and diagrams to further illustrate all the action of the first total war.

With Custer at the Deathby Robert F. BurkeIllustrated by Christopher Perello
The fascination with Custer’s Last Stand hasn’t diminished in the decades since 1876. He led his regiment well ahead of the main body, only to run into an unprecedented gathering of Indians. The first accounts were pieced together by other soldiers arriving on the scene in the battle’s aftermath, and by archaeologists in the generations since. To that information was added the reminiscences of the Indians who fought there.Interleaving and cross-referencing all those accounts provides a minute-by-minute story of the fighting, as Custer desperately and expertly maneuvered his outnumbered troops to face repeated and well-coordinated assaults by bands of Indian warriors. The resultant narrative is supported by dozens of detailed maps and orders of battle for both sides.

Tannenberg: East Prussia, August 1914
In August 1914, two Russian armies, Rennenkampf’s First and Samsonov’s Second, invaded the German province of East Prussia. The lone German army there, Hindenburg’s Eighth, had to rely on interior lines and railroads to concentrate against each Russian army in turn. This game focuses on the southern half of the campaign, with the northern half factored into the victory conditions. Those victory conditions vary with the strategic options chosen by each player so neither knows the other’s intent.
Tannenberg uses a modification of the Fire & Movement game system. Developed to portray the mechanized battlefields of a later generation, F&M stresses the use of rapidly-concentrated fire support to generate breakthroughs, followed by a rapid penetration by mobile reserves. In 1914, although railroads allowed the rapid shifting of forces on a large scale, no one moved faster than a man on foot on the battlefield, making exploitation ineffective. However, here both players have hidden movement, allowing them to concentrate in unexpected locations to surround and destroy isolated enemy units. The clumsy and inflexible fire support is represented by the artillery brigades available to division and corps commanders. It must be brought to the point of decision, then supplied to give it the firepower to affect the fighting.
The historical outcome at Tannenberg was the destruction of Samsonov’s army, but it need not have been so. Both players have options and can achieve decisive success. The player who makes the better choices, and backs his strategy to the hilt, will emerge the victor.
Masuria: Winter Battle 1915
After the Tannenberg campaign of August-September 1914, East Prussia became a strategic backwater as both side focused their efforts in Poland. But the Russian threat remained, and the following winter the Germans set about cleaning up their northern flank. A massive attack on the open right flank of the Russian Tenth Army sent it reeling; only the sacrifice of an entire corps in the Augustowo Forest enabled it to escape.
Masuria uses a modification of the Fire & Movement game system. Developed to portray the mechanized battlefields of a later generation, F&M stresses the use of rapidly-concentrated fire support to generate breakthroughs, followed by a rapid penetration by mobile reserves. In 1915, although railroads allowed the rapid shifting of forces on a large scale, no one moved faster
than a man on foot on the battlefield, making exploitation ineffective. However, here both players have hidden movement, allowing them to concentrate in unexpected locations to surround and destroy isolated enemy units. The clumsy and inflexible fire support is represented by the artillery brigades available to division and corps commanders. It must be brought to the point of decision, then supplied to give it the firepower to affect the fighting.
The historical outcome at Masuria was the clearing of the East Prussian border. It might have gone differently; Russian reserves were available, and the German forces were a hodge-podge of units of widely varying quality. Both sides have a number of options to turn the fortunes of the campaign. The player who makes the better choices, and backs his strategy to the hilt, will emerge the victor.

Suez 1916: Ottoman Strike
The Suez Canal was essential to British strategic communications and trade in the Great War, as well as an important political symbol. In August 1916, the Ottoman Empire sent an expeditionary force, including contingents of Germans and Austro-Hungarians, against the canal. While the British were expecting an attack, the Ottomans gained some tactical surprise by attacking at night. If the Ottoman attack succeeded, Britain’s prestige and warmaking capacity would be severely damaged.
Suez 1916 uses the Fire & Movement system. The movement and combat systems are
designed around the realities of mechanized warfare, giving motorized and/or specially-trained units clear advantages. Players can augment units at the instant of combat with support fire, provided by weapons ranging from mortars through cannon and light ground attack aircraft to heavy bombers. A seemingly predictable assault can be overturned at the last minute by heavy defending fires, while even small units may develop tremendous offensive punch with the assistance of a heavy bombardment. Winning the battle is a matter of maneuver, firepower and asset management.
The historical battle was a touch-and-go affair, ending with the British pushing the Turks just far enough to keep the canal safe. The British have the stronger force, but the Central Powers has the advantages of surprise, initiative, and strong artillery support. The player who best utilizes his strengths and is prepared to capitalize on opportunities will prevail.
Gaza 1917: Gateway to Jerusalem
By early 1917 British Empire forces had pushed the Ottoman Turks out of the Sinai to a line near Gaza. If the British could break that line, it would open the road to Jerusalem, and after that Damascus. A hastily-prepared attack in March was repulsed. After a month spent bringing forward artillery and supplies, the British were ready to try again, going “over the top” on 17 April.
Gaza 1917 uses the Fire & Movement system. The movement and combat systems are designed around the realities of mechanized warfare, giving motorized and/or specially-trained units clear advantages. Players can augment units at the instant of combat with support fire, provided by weapons ranging from mortars through cannon and light ground attack aircraft to heavy bombers. A seemingly predictable assault can be overturned at the last minute by heavy defending fires, while even small units may develop tremendous offensive punch with the assistance of a heavy bombardment. Winning the battle is a matter of maneuver, firepower and asset management.
Historically, the Turks eked out a victory, but it was a close call. In this game, the British have numbers, quality, and firepower on their side, while the Ottomans have excellent defensive positions, superior leadership, and time. The player who best utilizes his strengths and is prepared to capitalize on opportunities will prevail.

Wellington’s Victory The classic 1976 game covering the battle of Waterloo returns in this revamped version. Napoleon’s French Army of the North faces Wellington’s hodge-podge Army of the Low Countries, who are fighting for time while awaiting the arrival of Blucher’s Prussian Army of the Lower Rhine.
The maps use natural contours to show elevations, with terrain features including the critical chateaux, villages and farms, walls, woods, hedges, sunken roads, slopes, streams, and marshes. Most of the vividly colored counters represent combat units: infantry battalions, cavalry squadrons, artillery batteries, and engineer detachments. Many battalions have additional counters for specialist skirmishers, or additional counters to represent greater size. Unit capabilities are modified by a number of formation markers, from infantry squares to cavalry vedettes. Individual leaders enhance unit performance, while each army’s high command is represented by key commanders and unit headquarters.
The game mechanics have been streamlined; a single dice roll inflicts casualties and disorder. Units and larger organizations wear down over time and must be rested or risk a catastrophic collapse. Finesse trumps brute strength in combat; players must utilize a variety of arms, formations, and tactics to seize key ground and destroy enemy units. Hidden movement allows each player to prepare surprises for the other.
Multiple scenarios cover everything from the historical battle to a fight for an individual chateau. The French player may decide on an early start, or even on turning the battle into a demonstration. The Prussian arrival can occur early with fewer troops, or later with more, at the will of the allied player. It’s all here, from massive cavalry charges to grand bombardments to skirmishing to wild melees, with the fate of Europe in the balance.

D-Day at Peleliu is a solitaire game simulating the amphibious invasion of Peleliu in the Palau Islands. The Marines assaulted with the primary goal of capturing the airstrip nestled amid jungle and overlooked by forbidding mountain terrain. Though Maj. Gen. William Rupertus, commander of the division, predicted a quick four-day victory, the battle was instead a two-month fight to the death against some 10,000 tenacious Japanese.
Designer John Butterfield advances the solitaire system of his award-winning D-Day at Omaha Beach to the next level. You control the US forces against a Japanese defense determined to hold the island at all costs. An innovative no-dice combat system highlights unknown enemy deployments and the importance of using the right weapons and tactics. Event cards keep the action flowing and the rules simple while introducing historical detail. Players familiar with Omaha Beach will recognize the hazardous amphibious landings, overlapping enemy fields of fire, uncanny enemy tactics, and the emergence of heroes and leaders as the battle unfolds. In Peleliu new features cover coordinated Japanese counterattacks, close combat, fortified positions in coral and mountain terrain, and the hellish canyons and peaks of Umurbrogol Mountain, ever after referred to by the Marines as “Bloody Nose Ridge.”

Napoleon’s Last Battles
Napoleon has escaped exile on Elba to retake the French throne in early 1815, but is surrounded by the armies of the Seventh Coalition, determined to remove him again. Napoleon’s only chance is a preemptive strike, to disrupt the Coalition’s plans and perhaps cause it to fall apart. Belgium has the closest targets, the armies of his two most steadfast opponents, Britain and Prussia. The French concentration, secret and swift, catches the Coalition armies off-guard. For four days, the armies maneuver and clash, with the fate of Europe in the balance.
This game is a reprint and update of the classic SPI game from 1976. The map covers the entire campaign area, featuring the towns, roads, rivers, woods, chateaux, and ridges that affected the fighting. The colorful units in the game include infantry, cavalry, and artillery brigades, plus key leaders.
The original game’s scenarios are intact, covering the entire campaign or using just a portion of the map and counter set to cover each of the four principal battles fought historically: Ligny, Quatre Bras, Wavre, and Waterloo (or La Belle Alliance). The one-day mini campaigns and a Wavre variant from DG’s 1995 reprint also return. Over 90 extra units have been added to make potential reinforcements available, to modify the original order of battle due to new research, or to give players the means to alter each army’s countermix. Optional rules present variants for several of the standard rules.
D-Day at Omaha Beach recreates America’s most bloody and heroic day of World War II. In this solitaire game from the designer of the solo classics RAF and Ambush, you control the forces of the US 1st and 29th Divisions landing under fire on the Normandy shore, and struggling desperately to establish a viable beachhead.
US units include assault infantry, amphibious tanks, artillery, engineers and HQs. The game system controls the hidden German defenders in Widerstandsnest resistance points on the bluffs overlooking the beaches. US forces that manage to break through the deadly coastal defenses and reach the high ground must then contend with German mobile reinforcements in the bewildering hedgerows of Normandy’s bocage. An innovative diceless combat system highlights unknown enemy deployments and the importance of utilizing the right weapons and tactics.
Event cards keep the action flowing and the rules simple, while controlling German strategy and introducing extensive historical detail. The game includes amphibious landings, German artillery and rocket barrages, US naval bombardment, tides, engineer operations, and intangibles such as US leadership under fire and the initiative of the American GIs.

SPW introduces Tannenberg: The Introductory Game as an easy way to get into the Der Weltkrieg series. For a low price you can experience why so many rate Der Weltkrieg among their favorites. Follow the introductory videos on the SPW website, and get into one of the most playable and innovative systems available.
The series covers all World War I in Europe and the Middle East using a standard system with rules that apply to all its games. By learning how to play Tannenberg, you will know how to play the others.
The series uses simple systems. First is the representation of terrain the maps use hexside rather than in-hex depictions. That triples the amount of information on the map while adding realism and accuracy to movement and combat.
The combat system takes into account every strength point, and it’s not odds dependent. Losses are by strength point, which accurately depicts the effects of combat action and attrition.
Supply is simple and effective, representing the need to replenish ammunition. Units can’t fully attack or defend without supplies, and the system recreates intense combat and lulls.
Tannenberg is also a great way to get first-timers into wargaming. The rules are short and to the point. The video tutorials are an easy way to learn, and they give examples from the game. Watch them now and see for yourself.

The Decision Games Pledge Program is an online preorder system for gamers to “pledge” their support to purchase future games thereby directing our efforts to the games customers have the most interest in seeing published. Pledge orders will receive up to a 25% discount from the final retail price. We will provide estimated pricing based on the latest information we have about the game components and print pricing however the final price is subject to change (largely due to the variable costs of paper and shipping). Updates about the collation and shipping are included in our What’s New page. Normally, we start printing game components in January. We close the pledge orders when components start arriving In our warehouse and begin collecting payments. Most games are shipped by the end of June.
The Decision Games Pledge Program has published many games over the past 15 years. For your convenience, we are listing the projects to be released in the next year in the first section of the pledge list, then the games we have in progress for the following two years. We will add games to the Pledge Program through the surveys we conduct on-line and in our magazines.
To pledge for additional games, check your list, make changes or updates to your list or customer information, visit the pledge area of the Decision Games Shop. Pledges are a commitment to purchase a game when published and current payment information is required in order to make pledges—credit card information must be kept current in order to maintain a pledge order. Accounts that are not kept current will have their pledge orders cancelled so that we are able to keep accurate count of pledge orders.
pLedge progrAm UpdAte (01 Mar 15)
After nearly 15 years, we decided to reboot our pledge program last Fall. The pledge program itself was pared down to seven games that are actually in design or development. Three of those games are being published this year. First we have Wellington's Victory with a beautiful, updated map, a fantastic set of counters that were selected through customer choice and feedback over several months on CSW, and an updated game system. Second, we have the classic Napoleon's Last Battles. This game has also had a thorough update of the map and counter graphics (please take a look at the samples on the pledge page). The original game system has been loved for nearly four decades so we didn't change anything in the game system, but we did add several new options, most notably the ability to add additional counters or exchange the original counters for variants that have been proposed such as the
deCision pLedge progrAmaddition of Hal force as well as several leaders, and the substitution of the overly strong Prussian artillery for a more accurate OOB (and several other substitution possibilities for the French and Prussian forces). Finally, we are releasing the long-awaiting third volume in John' Butterfield's D-Day series, D-Day at Peleliu. This game covers not only the landings but the long inland battle (a planned four-day battle turned into a two and a half month brutal campaign). So, we get the same great solitaire system and played and loved at Omaha Beach and Tarawa and now, new terrain and obstacles to overcome. All three games will be shipping by the end of May.
Please note – if you pledged for these games before 1 Oct 14 and have not reset your pledge account since then, your order is not in the pledge system. Please update or reset your account ASAP. We do apologize for the inconvenience of having to reset your pledge account, but we anticipate a better pledge program experience for all.
Going forward, new games will enter the pledge system through a new annual survey/contest where everyone will have an opportunity to review and select their favorite games through a multi-round system such as the bracket contest going on now to choose the first game for 2018. Most games that enter the pledge program will be published in three years or less (we might release early if a game is further along in the design and development phase or delay a release date in order to insure thorough development and testing of a larger or more complex game). Once we see what the #1 pick is, we will consider additional picks after we look at all of the results and comments and consider our time and resources. We’ll also be conducting additional surveys and asking for your feedback about potential topics and specific proposals throughout the year to further determine what proposals should remain or be added to the proposal pool, and what proposals should make way for the future.
2016 and BeyondAlamo to Appomattox, Campaign for
North Africa, Free Mars, and Hand of Fate: The Vietnam War are all proceeding through design and development. Pledge orders will determine the order and timing of publication. Right now, they are in the above order with Alamo to Appomattox likely to be slated for a 2Q release date in 2016. Unfortunately, the current total of pledge orders for Hand of Fate are such we are considering returning it to the general pool of proposals for future consideration.
gAmes to be pUbLished in 2015
1. D-Day at Peleliu. Peleliu focuses on the landings by the US 1st Marine Division in September 1944 and their bitter two-day struggle to capture the airfield on the southern end of the island. A longer campaign scenario allows the player to extend the action to the rugged terrain of “Bloody Nose Ridge.” Opposed by the reinforced Japanese 14th Infantry Division, the
battle resulted in the highest US casualty rate of any in the Pacific war. Like D-Day at omaha Beach, the new game feature landing hazards, variable enemy positions and fields of fire encoded into the game maps, US weapon types vs. Japanese defensive preparations, and a random event-driven narrative. Plus new features unique to the Pacific Theater such as US naval and aerial bombardment, flame throwers, off-shore reefs and defensive positions, Japanese tank attacks, tunnel network movement and Banzai charges. One map, two counter sheets, and 55 cards. John Butterfield. Est. Retail $60 (Est. Pledge $45).
2. Wellington’s Victory (SPI Update). An update of the SPI classic grand tactical simulation of Waterloo. This will retain the feel of the original—the fragility of dense units in the open, the efficacy of different arms and formations at different times—while addressing some of the shortcomings of the original. Gone is the asymmetric turn sequence which so hampered the Prussians and gave cavalry near-immunity from artillery: in its place, a simplified sequence that retains the continual interplay between sides. Gone too are the step reduction markers; units will be presented on several counters so losses can reflect diminution of both numbers and morale. Large units—such as the Nassauers, Prussians, British Guards, and most cavalry regiments—will have two or more counters in play. Formations for infantry, cavalry, and artillery will be handled with markers and will reflect doctrinal differences between the armies. Skirmishers will be tamed, providing neither the spearhead of the offensive nor the bulwark of the defense. Entirely new rules provide for hidden movement and optional reinforcements for both sides. For details [and progress reports], go to the CSW web site, Napoleonic folder, Wellington’s Victory. Four maps, seven counter sheets. Chris Perello. Est. retail $160 (Est. Pledge $120).
3. napoleon’s last Battles (SPI Update). This game is a reprint and update of the classic SPI game from 1976. The map covers the entire campaign area, featuring the towns, roads, rivers, woods, chateaux, and ridges that affected the fighting. The colorful units in the game include infantry, cavalry, and artillery brigades, plus key leaders.
The original game’s scenarios are intact, covering the entire campaign or using just a portion of the map and counter set to cover each of the four principal battles fought historically: Ligny, Quatre Bras, Wavre, and Waterloo (or La Belle Alliance). The one-day mini campaigns and a Wavre variant from DG’s 1995 reprint also return. Over 90 extra units have been added to make potential reinforcements available, to modify the original order of battle due to new research, or to give players the means to alter each army’s countermix. Optional rules present variants for several of the standard rules. Chris Perello, developer. Est. retail $60 (Est. Pledge $45).

4. AlamotoAppomattox. a2a is a grand strategy game of the American Civil War in the style of Krieg! Maps of the Eastern and Western Theaters include terrain, strategic objectives, roads/rail, naval zones, navigable and non-navigable rivers, cities and locales, supply centers and other features affecting the game. Counters represent the corps and armies of the war. Cards provide the strategic-political-economic direction for each side. Strategies are many and varied but the ultimate goal is to demoralize the opposing faction’s population through military, economic and political victories while sustaining your own population’s will to continue the fight. The players each choose a Strategy Card and an Addendum Card before each new season and may opt to play an additional card as a diplomatic response to certain events. These cards lead to new military units, leaders, and replacement steps and result in socio-economic and political events. The events include the declaration of Emancipation, the elections of 1862 and 1864, and the possible intervention by European nations. Events are often double-edged swords, sometimes providing a military advantage while negatively affecting the popular will to fight. In addition, both sides may attempt to develop and manufacture new technologies, both historical and speculative, such as ironclads, submarines, torpedoes, observation balloons, repeating rifles and Gatling guns. Both sides can introduce espionage and even sabotage, which can have many unexpected consequences, including assassination. Scenarios are included for each year as well as the entire ACW.
Beyond the ACW proper, there are two introductory scenarios: alamo, a mini-game of the WarforTexas and manifest Destiny, a Mexican-American War mini-game. These short campaigns will give new players an excellent place to start playing and veteran players will have two scenarios that can be finished in an evening. In addition there is crisis & compromise, a card play oriented game of the period from the end of the Mexican-American War to the start of the Civil War. Though little combat occurs, the card play covers the actions inspiring events, leaders and regional positions (Border States) that affect the allegiance of states to a region and the ability of military leaders at the start of the Civil War. Crisis & Compromise can be played alone or used to create alternative starting situations for the ACW. Three maps, 560 counters, 200 cards. Barry Altshuler. Est. Retail: $160 (Est. Pledge $120).
5. campaign for north africa (SPI). There is no paperwork or data tracking in this remake of the SPI classic; streamlined but realistic procedures allow the realistic portrayal of unit assignment and supply expenditure. Command and control cards drive the action, enabling a player to tailor his emphasis on building units, gathering intelligence, conducting operations, or building up supplies. The map has been given a graphic update. The air war is updated and enhanced and the OOB presents the latest research with all

units at a battalion level (armor in companies and air units in squadrons). Now it’s the ultimate North Africa simulation. Joseph Miranda. Est. Retail $200 (Est. Pledge $150).
6. Hand of Fate: The Vietnam War. Players choose Campaign Cards that would generate reinforcements and political events. The Campaign Cards would replace the complex political rules often required to simulate the Vietnam conflict. Players can choose different levels of escalation that will generate varying levels of forces, at a trade-off in political support and military efficiency. The Communist player could choose between low level terrorism, mid-level guerrilla warfare, or a full scale Tet-style offensive. The Allied player could choose to intervene with just US special forces, or mobilize for an all-or-nothing invasion of Communist sanctuaries in Laos and Cambodia. Game units will be brigades/regiments and divisions/Viet Cong fronts, rated for their conventional and unconventional capabilities. The map will cover all of Indochina. A semi-abstract system will model air operations. Two maps, three counter sheets, 220 cards. Joseph Miranda. Est. retail: $100. (Est. Pledge $75).
7. Free mars! (SPI). From the colonies of Mars to the orbital stations of Earth and to the outposts on Jupiter, the cry is heard. Free mars! is a science fiction wargame of revolt across the Solar System in the late 21st century. Earth’s colonies are rising up against an oppressive Terran Federation. The system is based on SPI’s Battlefleet mars, but with additional forces and units representing several types of spaceships, ground units and special forces. Special weapons include artificial intelligence missiles, cybernetic attacks and enhancement of human warriors via nano-technology. Cards representing the various military-political-economic groups that are maneuvering for power are included. The map shows the Solar System out to Jupiter, with displays for each planet. Joseph Miranda. Est. retail $80 (Est. Pledge $60).
