NEW RELEASES
- Galahad’s Ordeal (new from High Flying Dice Games)
Galahad’s Ordeal portrays the Allied attack and siege of Myitkyina during WWII. The town and its nearby airfield were a constant threat to the Allied airlift operations that ferried war materials and supplies from India to Nationalist China. The Japanese occupation of the town also severed the only land access from India to China for the Allies. Securing Myitkyina became increasingly important if the Allies were to support Nationalist China and secure victory in Burma. [Forum]
- A Glorious Chance (new from Legion Wargames)
A Glorious Chance is a solitaire, operational wargame that puts you in command of the U.S. or British naval squadron on Lake Ontario in 1813. You have four months to dominate the lake. But each patrol, each convoy mission, each amphibious landing you make to pursue victory risks full-scale battle with the enemy squadron – a battle that could leave you triumphant or shattered in a matter of hours. A dynamic card-driven AI opponent assigns British missions, refits and launches new ships, and plots raids on your supply routes and coastlines. [Forum]
- Wheels of Change (new from High Flying Dice Games)
The 1950s auto industry was a fascinating and unique period in USA economic history.

Players take on the roles of the independent automobile manufacturers of 1951 (Hudson, Kaiser-Frazer, Nash, Packard, Studebaker, Willys) and try to survive or even increase their market share.
