ATO Remembers the Dash
February 11 is the 70th Anniversary of the beginning of Operation Cerberus, the “Channel Dash” in which major elements of the German Navy “dashed” from Brest to home waters, right through the English Channel. Against the Odds Magazine commemorates this remarkable event with their latest Pocket Battle Game and a special offer. With ANY purchase, Feb. 9 through 13, just enter (and apply) the promo code “DASH“ on the order form and you’ll receive a deluxe version of the game “Operation Cerberus, the Channel Dash,” complete with die-cut counters and extra expansion rules and units.
“20 Decisive Battles” Comes to the Gaming Table
Turning Point Simulations (TPS) is now releasing the first four wargames in their series covering the Mitchell/Creasy military history classic, “20 Decisive Battles That Changed the World.” TPS will release the entire series four games per year, with a single price covering all 20 games (and a bonus 21st). Rather than follow straight chronology, each year’s release will include a variety of periods, beginning with actions from Joan of Arc, Charles Martel, Charles XII, and the campaign for Stalingrad. TPS is operated by the same folks who have produced Against the Odds Magazine since 2002. The series aims for fast-paced games with high re-playability.

ATO Remembers the Bulge
[expired] December 16 marks the beginning of the last German major offensive in the West, that history would call “the Battle of the Bulge.” Against the Odds Magazine remembers this campaign with a cool series of “Pocket Battle” games — all the size of a post-card, each working as an independent game, OR tied together. ATO offers you the complete four card set, complete with mounted, color die-cut counters and deluxe combined game rules set, FREE WITH ANY PURCHASE. Whether you do a “Pick 3” on back issues, start a new subscription, or grab a package of deluxe game boxes. Any new order gets you all four of these neat little games, plus the rules for connecting all four (and optional rules too!). Simply type the promo code “BULGE” in the promo code field when ordering. And act fast — this special offer only lasts until Dec. 17 (US forces had begun unhinging the offensive by that time)!
Sneak peek of sample counters for Lilliburlero, an area movement and impulse game designed by Philip Jelley depicting the Battle of the Boyne. This game is presently in the pipeline for possible publication in Against the Odds magazine, so make sure you vote for it so it makes the cut!

This is a solitaire game depicting some German fighters trying to pick off a stray B-17, and comes as a free bonus in ATO #34.
