Upcoming titles, probably mid-fall, will include yet another Mongol game, entitled at this time THE M&M GAME (Mongols vs Mamelukes . . .at 'Ayn Jalut, 1260-something), plus the first two games in the "Las Batales de los Gringos" series - was I even close there?? - "Resaca de la Palma' (a most unusual battle that is more of a failed ambush than anything) and "Rio Sacramento", one of those battles in Taylor's northern Mexico campaign that gets lost.
