Product Description:The conjectured departure from the historic timeline that resulted in the design of this game is assumed to have taken place in mid-September 1939. At that time, as his forces are completing the conquest of Poland, Hitler receives a flash of intuition. That is, he canât help but notice the strategic paralysis of the Anglo-French, who do nothing to try to prevent the downfall of their fast-disappearing eastern ally Poland. From that he concludes it would be a waste of time to redeploy the Wehrmacht to the western front in 1940. He tells his generals: âThe time will never be better to destroy the Bolshevik power than in the coming year. We will continue to have nothing to fear in the west. The British and French simply do not want war; they are afraid of it. Once weâve taken Moscow, weâll take Paris and London by telephone.âAccordingly, he also tells his foreign minister to drop all negotiations aimed at revising the original territorial split set out in the accords with the USSR the previous month. Most importantly, Lithuania, originally in the German âsphere of interest,â is not traded for a further slice of Polish territory.All of which has resulted in this low-complexity, strategic-level, alternative history wargame. In it, two to four players can investigate the possibilities inherent in a changed 1940 reality. In it, two to four players can investigate the possibilities inherent in a changed German strategy for 1940. The West Front map is scaled at 16 miles per hexagon. The Eastern Front map is scaled at 25 miles per hex. All Soviet units are armies; all other forces in the game are corps. Each game turn on both maps equals half a month.This game can be played by two, three or four. If two play, one commands the Germans, while the other commands both the Anglo-French and Soviets. If played by three, one player commands the Germans, one player commands the Anglo-French, and the third commands the Soviets. If four play, one player commands the Germans on the west map; the second commands the Germans on the east map; the third commands the Soviets, and the fourth commands the Anglo-French. The rules contain some 17,000 words, which means experienced players can finish it in about four hours.Rules cover such things as: neutrals, fog of war, airpower, 7th Flieger Corps, Soviet st Shock Army, fortifications, and more. The turn sequence is as follows.ARTICLES:1940: What If Hitler Turned East?Romania in WW2Matapan: Italian Naval FiascoArming the Free French.

Product Description:Lest Darkness Fall: Rome in Crisis, A.D. 235-285 (LDF), is a low- to intermediate-complexity, two-player, strategic level wargame covering the third century crisis that beset the Mediterranean region and its environs. One player leads the Roman Empire and its client states, while the other commands an amalgamation of that realm's enemies: barbarian Germanic tribes, Parthia, Palmyra, and rebel forces from within the Roman world itself. That second player is generally on the offensive, trying to invade, loot and occupy core Roman territory, or perhaps reach the city of Rome itself, in order to win. The Roman player wins by finally maintaining the territorial integrity of the empire against the invaders. Despite that being the general situation, however, over the course of a typical match both players will have many opportunities to both attack and defend as they maneuver to achieve their goals.Each game turn of LDF represents the passage of 10 years. Each hex on the map measures 100 miles (162 km) from side to opposite side. The units in the game represent the Roman emperor and his court, his co-emperor (if one is in play) or rebel claimants to the throne, legion bases and vex illations (mobile elements), garrisons and fortifications, Germanic tribes, Parthian gund (corps), and Palmyran legion-equivalents. The individual units therefore represent everything from an individual and a few courtiers up to 10,000 or so soldiers and their camp followers.

Product Description:The Bulge is a redesign, by Ty Bomba, of the title originally published by SPI in 1979, which was designed and developed by James F. Dunnigan and Eric Smith. That earlier version was, in fact, published under two titles, the other being Big Red One, as part of a marketing effort coinciding with the release that same year of a motion picture of the same name. Under any title, then and now, this design runs counter to the decades-old hobby trend concerning the 1944 German counteroffensive in the Ardennes, in that it's not bigger and more complex than the one published just prior to it. In releasing The Bulge, we're not seeking hobby immortality by claiming yet another reanalysis - this one truly correct! - of the all-critical forest road net; nor have we uncovered any new - and heretofore hidden or ignored! - secrets concerning both sides' sub-divisional orders of battle. Each hex on the map equals five miles (eight kilometers) from side to opposite side. Each game turn represents one day. Playing pieces represent divisions, brigades, combat commands, regiments or Kampfgruppen of various kinds of infantry and armored formations, each containing from about 3,000 to 14,000 men and/or 50 to 400 armored fighting vehicles. A full VolksartillerieKorps order of battle is included for the Germans, along with special rules for: Allied airpower and corps support, the famed von der Heydte paratroopers, Einheit Steilau, Skorzeny, Kampfgruppe Peiper, and much more. The Bulge is a low-complexity two-player game that experienced players can count on knocking off in about three hours. A complete (176 total), large-size counter-set is included in both iconic and NATO-style, by famed graphic artist Joe Youst, who also did the map.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Product Description:Drive on Pyongyang, designed by Ty Bomba, is an updated "what-if" simulation of the fighting that might occur on the Korean peninsula if the US-led anti-terrorism Coalition launches a ground war to finally settle with the Pyongyang regime. The game is a two-player wargame of low-to-intermediate complexity that postulates this might-be war lasting about a month. We believe that's about the maximum time before the Coalition ground force's diminishing supplies, coupled with a loss of the domestic political will necessary to continue the fighting, would bring about a settlement if victory were not achieved in the field. The game includes one map of North Korea, from shore to shore (as well as the northern region of South Korea), and two counter sheets (560 counters) of game pieces representing all of the contemporary US, Allied (South Korean) and North Korean forces that would be engaged in a US preemptory conflict in the near future. The game includes one map (22x34â) and 280 counters.OTHER ARTICLES:Falklands: 1982 British-Argentine WarSelous Scouts: RhodesiaXB-70 BomberASAT: War in Space.

Product Description:Bloody Ridge: Decision on Guadalcanal, 13 September 1942 (BR for short) is a purpose-designed solitaire wargame of low complexity simulating the climactic Japanese night attack of that date. The attacked was aimed at nothing less than the capture of Henderson Field and the annihilation of the entire US ground force on the island.You are on the offensive, commanding the Japanese attack force thatâs attempting to break through the US Marine defense. The rules system, with your help in handling the mechanics of the process, runs the Marine defense. You win by exiting one or more Japanese units off the north edge of the map, or by eliminating the 1st Marine Division headquarters.Each game turn of BR is equal to about two hours of âreal time.â Each hexagon represents 125 yards from side to opposite side. Each unit-counter represents a fire-team, squad, platoon, company or some other similarly sized ad hoc grouping of infantry and/or support weapons. The effect of the historically important off-map USMC field artillery is covered by the bombardment rules (see section 8.0).

Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Product Description:This design is actually the third edition of the "Kursk" game originally published by old-SPI back in the early 1970s, which was later redesigned into a second edition, retitled as: Eric Goldberg's Kursk: History's Greatest Tank Battle, July 1943. The first edition of the game used the proto-system originally devised by James F. Dunnigan for the France 1940 title he published early on in S&T. This new edition is by Ty Bomba, and shares an evolution of the system used in Decision Games other Road to Ruin titles: Drive on Stalingrad, and Drive on Moscow.There's been a lot of excellent new information published on the July 1943 battle since the last edition. In particular, they made good use of 1999's The Battle for Kursk, 1943: The Soviet General Staff Study. The insights provided therein were many, but the one that will â" having been translated into the order of battle of this redesign â" cause the most eyebrow raising is likely to be the complete lack of separate Soviet artillery units. They took that approach precisely because the Red Army command did too â" at least for the part of the overall summer campaign simulated here. Concerned, once the battle got rolling, they'd be unable to shift around their cannon as and where needed, they initially spread that combat arm throughout their defensive belts and units. Only later, once they'd switched to the strategic offensive in August, were the extra guns again brought together to reform artillery divisions and corps. "Manstein's Gambit" is the title for a scenario describing the alternative scheme put forward for this German summer offensive by Field Marshal Erich von Manstein. He believed the plan, codenamed "Operation Citadelle," as put forward by Hitler and carried out historically, had little chance of success. Manstein therefore argued the attack â" once he understood the dictator could not be dissuaded from launching an offensive â" should then be made with all available forces. The additional units added to the initial German order of battle represent the scouring of the eastern front, as well as all the other fronts and rear areas of the Third Reich, to bring into this fight virtually all the divisions capable of conducting offensive operations of this scale and ferocity. That option is available to the German player in this new redesign, but with the trade-off of then having to fulfill far more expansive victory conditions in the same amount of time.

(IPH).This game has been designed by Adrian McGrath and Chris Smith, and was developed by Ty Bomba.A low-to-intermediate complexity, strategic/operational-level, alternative history wargame of the campaign that could've resulted had the Japanese decided to launch an amphibious invasion of Oahu at the same time as their historic air raid. The game is intended for two players, one commanding the Japanese and the other commanding the US forces. The game system is focused so as to present the ground-commandersâ views of the campaign. Aero-naval operations â" though certainly important in play â" are presented more abstractly than would be the case in a design centered on those aspects of the campaign.Each hex on the 34x22 large-hex map equals one mile (1.62 km) from side to opposite side. Each game turn represents about four hours of daylight or an entire night. Playing pieces (176 iconic counters) represent ground units of approximately company size, or individual aircraft carriers or battleships, or enough aircraft sorties (about two to three dozen) needed to affect battlefield events at this scale. The rules contain a little less than 11,000 words. Two experienced players can finish a match in less than four hours.The single counterfactual assumption underlying the game is Adm. Yamamoto decided to back the plan he scrapped historically in September 1941. That plan had called for an amphibious invasion, conducted by about two regiments, to land on Oahu at the same time as the air attacks were begun. The further supposition then is, the Japanese, once ashore, wouldâve had no more than about three days in which to achieve their now more ambitious goal: either secure the whole island or at least fight their way across enough of it â" while thoroughly wrecking facilities as they came to them â" to ensure the American recovery would be delayed as long as possible. The three-day limit is due to the fact that, by the end of that period, the Japanese carrier strike group would had to have withdrawn and the ground forceâs initial load of combat supply would be used up. Rules cover such things as: The turn sequence is as follows: variable landing sites, rough surf, carrier interventions, combat ground support, interdiction, a Nisei uprising, Ford Island and Battleship Row, night combat, banzai attacks and much more. The turn sequence is as follows.I. Carrier Warfare Phase (only Game Turns 5 & 9)A. Ship Disposition SegmentB. Carrier Combat SegmentII. US Submarine Attack Phase (only Game Turns 5 through 11)III. Japanese Landing PhaseIV. US Sub-Command Chit-Pull Phase*V. US Sub-Command Chit-Pull Phase*VI. US Sub-Command Chit-Pull Phase*VII. US Sub-Command Chit-Pull Phase**May be preceded or followed by the Japanese Movement or Combat Phase, to the limit of one of such Japanese phase being executed per game turn upon that playerâs declarations of them.ARTICLES:What If: Pearl Harbor Invasion Greek Civil War: Prequel to Cold War Bzura Counteroffensive, Poland Japanese Production Strategy.

Product Description:Barbarossa is a two-player, low-to-intermediate complexity, strategic-level simulation of the entire Russo-German War designed by Ty Bomba. The game was originally designed and published by James F. Dunnigan back in 1969. This new edition is an extensive redesign.The German player begins on the offensive, attempting to win the game by seizing key areas on map. The Soviet player is at first primarily on the defensive, but the situation requires he halt his opponent's push to the east and then, in turn, launch a series of counter-offensives that will eventually move the Red Army to Berlin and the heart of Europe. The game may end sooner than the historic termination time if the German player is able to do significantly better than his historic counterparts by advancing so quickly he causes the overall political, social, economic and military collapse of the Soviet Union. Likewise, if the Soviet player is able to carry out his strategic comeback more efficiently than did his historic counterparts during the second half of the real war, the game may again terminate earlier than it did historically.Each hexagon on the map represents 55 miles (90 kilometers) from side to opposite side. The large-hex map covers from Berlin and Yugoslavia in the west, to Leningrad in the north, Maikop in southeast and Gorki in the northeast. Expeditions may be launched into the deep Caucasus through the use of an off-map holding box and special rules. The primary units of maneuver for the German side are corps, while for the Soviets they're armies. The order of battles have been extensively researched to ensure they're the most historically accurate ever presented for a game of this scale. The counter-mix includes all 25 of the German Korpsgruppen, which were unheralded formations crucial to that side's overall war effort during 1944-45. Beyond that, there are also counters for: Army Detachments Hollidt, Fretter-Pico and Lanz/Kempf; Provisional Panzer Corps Raus, the Kerch Straits Command, and Group Mieth. On the Soviet side there's a full corps-and-army OB for 22 June 1941, along with all the Guards and Guards Tank armies, as well as "Mechanized Group Popov," the single most elite Red Army formation ever to take the field during the entire war. There are, in total, 280 half-inch, NATO-style counters included in the game.

Product Description:This near-future what-if war game, designed by Ty Bomba, is an update and expansion of the classic old-SPI Oil War game from the mid-1970s. It examines an Iranian strategic alternative thatâs becoming increasingly plausible in light of the drawdown of US military strength in the Middle East. That is, just as it did in Cold War Europe, the prospect of both sides having nuclear weapons in this âzone of confrontationâ may work to create a deterrent umbrella that, at least for some time, could allow for a potentially decisive conventional war to go on underneath the threat of âmutually assured destruction.â Oil War: Iran Strikes (OW) is a low-intermediate complexity design set in a time frame of the near future â" 2013 through 2017 â" in which the Iranians may indeed have developed some kind of nuclear capability. At that same time, with the âWar on Terrorâ having likely slithered to an indecisive end by then, and the US therefore likely fallen back into another post-Vietnam-type âneo-isolationistâ phase, the possibility for a blitz-style Iranian conventional military victory â" aimed at establishing and certifying Tehran as the hegemon of the Gulf region â" moves to the fore. OW examines the strategic and operational possibilities and parameters inherent in the opening Iranian offensive of such a war. There are no rules for the use of atomic bombs or other weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The situation is on such a hair trigger in regard to that aspect of things, if one such weapon were to go off, many more detonations would be certain to follow. The idea is for Iran to gain a victory without resorting to âgame changingâ WMD.Each hex on the map equals 18 miles (30 km) from side to opposite side, and its coverage stretches from Turkey in the north to the UAE in the south, and from the Iranian border and Persian Gulf on the east to Baghdad and Riyadh on the west. Each game turn represents three days, with a full match covering the first month of the war.Units of maneuver are corps, divisions, brigades, and US brigade combat teams (BCT) of various kinds, each containing from about 5,000 to 15,000 men and/or 50 to 400 armored fighting vehicles or helicopters. The most up-to-date data available have been used to establish each participant countryâs detailed order or battle, including the Iranian regular army (Artesh), Basij (martyr force) and Revolutionary Guards, along with the ground forces of Iraq (loyalist and insurgent militias and regulars, Kurds, and the âeliteâ Quick Reaction Force). There are also the armies of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, Syria, Turkey and, of course, the US.Special rules cover such things as: sudden death victories and victories on points, variable phase sequences, US naval supremacy, unique Saudi combat5 characteristics, geographic and multi-national movement and combat restrictions, US locking zones of control, US bases, Kuwaiti border defenses, Iraqi unit defections, Al Qods terror attacks, massed Basij suicide attacks, Basraâs critical logistical status, Iranian airborne and marine units, artillery, combat engineers, airpower, UN intervention, unique US BCT capabilities, the legend of the 12th Imam, and much more. The game includes one map (22x34â) and 228 counters.
