NEW RELEASES
- COALITION! The Napoleonic Wars, 1805-1815 (new from Compass Games)
COALITION! is a quick-playing, grand strategy game with operational elements that could recreate all the Napoleonic Wars (1805-1815) in just one evening. Counters represent historical fleets and armies, being 18-25 ships or 30-50,000 men every strength point. Although not an event-driven board game in the classic sense, Event cards are used to recreate historical situations that could imply some modifications in the general rules of the game, or even change the fate of a game dramatically.

- Black Hell: The Battle for Los Negros Island (new from High Flying Dice Games)
Black Hell: The Battle for Los Negros Island, February-March, 1944. Before fleeing Corregidor, General Douglas MacArthur pledged to return to the Philippines. It was first necessary to retake New Guinea and at least neutralize the Japanese fortified base at Rabaul. Taking the island of Los Negros and its airbase at Momote would cut off Rabaul’s ability to receivd supplies from Japan or elsewhere, and allow the US-led forces to advance for an offensive to retake the Philippines.

- An Unpleasant and Devastating Fight (new from High Flying Dice Games)
An Unpleasant and Devastating Fight: The Battle for Sittang Bridge, February 21-22, 1942. The situation for the Allies in Burma was increasingly desperate following the Japanese invasion that began in December 1941. After nearly a month of fighting the British Dominion forces were in full retreat, hoping to meet with reinforcements being rushed to the theater and to regroup behind the Sittang River. Another victory for the Japanese could lead to the capture of that major port and even more conquests by the sons from the land of the Rising Sun. [Forum]
- The Dogs of War (new from Thin Red Line Games)
- Empire at Sunrise (new from Hollandspiele)
John Gorkowski's Empire at Sunrise: The Great War in Asia, 1914 depicts the struggle for control of Pacific sea lanes during the opening months of World War I. Its focus is largely on naval operations - on the cat-and-mouse dance of destroyers and battleships. The game presents its action at three different telescoping scales using nested playing surfaces, representing the area around Tsingtao at six miles per hex, the fight over the Asian Pacific at 240 miles per hex, and the entire Pacific Ocean at 1440 miles per zone. From the Battle of Coronel off the coast of Chile to the Siege of Tsingtao in China, this game elegantly captures the sweep of a forgotten chapter in the history of World War I. [Forum]
