- Coalition: The Napoleonic Wars 1805-1815 (Compass Games @ Kickstarter)
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.

Cradle of Civilization is a pair of games that play through the ancient civilizations of the Near East and the fall of the Persian Empire, SUMERIA TO PERSIA and ALEXANDER vs DARIUS. Both games are included in this premium package (mounted mapboard and "thick" counters) that allows two to six players determine the fate of the Ancient Near East. In one game civilizations rise, while in the second game, two players battle over whether the great Persian Empire will survive or perish. Both games use simple mechanics to make them quick-playing and to portray a period feel to the players. [Forum]
- Rostov ’41: Race to the Don (Multi-Man Publisher Preorder)
[Final Call to Preorder!] Rostov ‘41 is a Standard Combat Series (SCS) game covering the bold—some would say “foolhardy”—dash by Army Group South to take Rostov in the late fall of 1941. Amazingly, the attack succeeded, resulting, however, in the Germans being isolated at the end of a logistical shoestring. The regrouping Red Army, stung from a long series of defeats, saw this as the perfect opportunity to launch its first coordinated attack of the war, thus paving the way for the Moscow Counteroffensive just a few weeks later.

- Greg Porter’s Aden (Tiny Battle Publishing Preorder)
Aden is a 2-player (but very solitaire friendly) hypothetical campaign for control of this southern Yemen port city, a combined company- and platoon-level game where each battle takes place over the course of one or more days. Difficult terrain splits the east and west of the city, combatants often retreat to avoid taking losses before surging back, and making the most of your scattered leadership is the key to resupplying your people and sustaining an offensive. Units activate with a unique dice system, and combat is centered on an add-or-subtract dice method reminiscent of Greg's Armageddon War. [Forum]
