- A Kingly Fight: The Battle of Bouvines (new from High Flying Dice Games)
- Modern War, Issue 53: Objective Kassel (new from Decision Games)
Objective Kassel is a two-player alternative history wargame intended to investigate the operational parameters that would have been in place during the first four days of fighting in that border area of West Germany had the Soviet Union decided to try to attack sometime in the early 1980s. It was during that timeframe the Warsaw Pact achieved a possible decisive “correlation of forces” between their militaries and those of the West. [Forum]
- The Deadly Woods: The Battle of the Bulge (new from Revolution Games)
Yes, another Bulge game, but one with the historical action and decisions of games with a much bigger footprint and playing time. And with a unique take on the chaos and friction of the battle that makes it a great choice for solo play. Even if you are bulged out, you'll want The Deadly Woods in your collection. Game design by Ted Raicer. [Forum]
