Braccio da Montone
New from Acies Edizioni. Braccio da Montone marks the third entry in the Guelphs & Ghibellines game series.

Price: 49 euros.
Sneak peek of map and counter art of the first entry in the Order of Arms game series to cover battles from the Medieval and Renaissance Periods — from Hastings in 1066 to Pavia in 1525, Coming from Compass Games. Order of Arms is descended from and related to the 3rd edition of the grand tactical Napoleonic game series, Eagles of the Empire. Artwork and game design by Brien J. Miller. The first entry covers the Battle of Fornovo, 1495.
Shield Wall: Hastings 1066
New from White Dog Games. Shield Wall: Hastings 1066 is a tactical simulation of the battle that determined the fate of England. The main ideas emphasized are the effects of the Saxon shield wall, the limited arrow supply of Norman archers and their relative ineffectiveness, the advantage held by the Saxon side of the high ground, the withdrawals (or “routs”) of Normans from their assault of Saxon positions on hill terrain and their potentially undisciplined pursuit by Saxon warriors, the requirement for battlefield space management by the Norman side, and the important role leaders played. Price: $22 (folio) or $30 (boxed).
