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.

Shenandoah: Jackson's Valley Campaign
New from Columbia Games. Shenandoah: Jackson’s Valley Campaign is a block game covering the remarkable Valley Campaign of May/June 1862. Led by Thomas ‘Stonewall’ Jackson, a smaller Confederate army with audacious marching and fighting, paralyzed and defeated three enveloping Union armies. The CSA player has the advantage of central position, but must use it aggressively to prevent the Union armies from combining against him. The USA player has a clear advantage in numbers, but must cope with a command system that penalizes the wide separation of his three forces. Price: $59.99.
