Crown of Roses Review
Sean Stevenson @ Armchair General
Crown of Roses does an excellent job of simulating the military maneuvering and political intrigue of the War of the Roses but comes with a steep learning curve. [Read the review | related story]
Borodino 1812
New from Columbia Games. Borodino 1812 covers this historical battle involving wave after wave of frontal attacks by both sides, focusing on the Russian redoubts. However, the game will show all the options available to Napoléon and Kutuzov, including some not attempted historically. The French player has several possible lines of attack and the Russian player must try to anticipate and counter them all. The tactical interaction of Napoléonic infantry, cavalry and artillery is also emphasized, including cavalry charges and squares. This makes for exciting and tense gaming. Price: $69.98.

Crown of Roses
New from GMT Games. Crown of Roses is a three-hour block game set during the turbulent years of the Wars of the Roses in 15th Century England. This 35-year long conflict saw the extinction of a large number of noble houses, and would eventually set the house of Tudor upon the throne. Players take on the roles of the dynastic giants — the House of Lancaster and their Beaufort cousins, and the House of York. The four player game adds in the powerful House of Stafford, and the ever-scheming Richard Neville and his son, Richard of Warwick, the ‘Kingmaker’. Price: $79.
