SAMPLE FROM MODERN WAR #21

US Marines take cover during the Siege of Khe Sahn.

The Siege of Khe Sahnby Kyle Lockwood

A t dawn on 21 January 1968 a wave of North Vietnamese troops descended upon the American airbase at Khe Sahn. For weeks the airfield had come under sporadic fire and bombardment

from NVA artillery. US intelligence had been reporting that multiple regiments of North Vietnamese troops had penetrated into the region surrounding the airfield and were poised to strike at any time. For the next six months, American and South Vietnamese troops fought a vicious battle of attrition with the North Vietnamese defending the airfield, and nearly caused the United States to unleash its nuclear arsenal.

The Khe Sahn airfield was located just below the DMZ between North and South Vietnam. It had served as a Special Forces outpost in the early phase of American operations in Vietnam before being established as an anchor point for US Marine operations in the northern part of South Vietnam. In April 1967 the North Vietnamese launched their first offensive

Dear Fellow Wargamers:

W elcome to our 29th issue of the Dispatch. This issue we are featuring some great new games, a preview of the new pledge program, and, best of all, free shipping!

In the following pages, you see we have released three new boxed games: Wellington’s Victory, napoleon’s last Battles (4th Edition), and D-Day at Peleliu. These games feature further improvements in the components (the Wellington’s Victory counters were picked in a customer survey from several sample sets), and both WV and NLB include a full-color rules booklet with lavish examples of play and order of battle option illustrations.

Four folio games and eight minis are being released in this Dispatch. The folios are: alamein, mortain counterattack (during the Normandy Campaign), shanghai incident (1932), and Battles for the galactic empire. The minis include: germantown, First saratoga, mansfield, Wilson’s creek, lettow-Vorbeck (German East Africa WWI), mig alley (Korean War), suez ’56, and Khe sahn ’68. lettow-Vorbeck, suez ’56, and Khe sahn ’68 are solitaire games.

The pledge program is going through a reboot. We started over last autumn. We tried one idea with our annual March Mag-ness bracket contest and it didn’t work out. Because the Dispatch goes out to virtually every DG customer, we decided to lay out what we have in various stages of design and development, plus some ideas for sequels to our most popular series. The results of this survey will give us direct feedback from our valued customers about what they want us working on for 2018+. That may seem far away, but we are committed to spending more time and effort in making each and every game the best possible. So much so that we decided not to publish any new boxed games in 2016 so we could focus on getting plenty of play testing in on campaign for north africa and alamo to appomattox which will release in 2017. Turn to the Pledge Program on page 12 for more information.

Lots of rare and out-of-print games at Desert Fox Games. They have games from an estate purchase with many one-of-a-kind games from the past 50 years, plus many games that are no longer available from manufacturers, and an extensive list of back issues of S&T, Wargamer, Command, and other magazines and magazine games.

Free shipping! What more do we have to say. Just the fine print which is a minimum $75 order ($150 for Canada and Overseas). But that’s easy: just scoop up all the new folios and minis, or the new boxed games and you’re already there. Then, shop for some rare or out-of-print games in Desert Fox Games or find that back issue that’s missing from your collection with no worries about shipping costs. We don’t know when we’ll offer free shipping again so time to load up on games for birthdays and parties, games for Holiday gifts, and, of course, games for yourself!

Thanks for all your support! We appreciate your patronage!

Sincerely,

Doc

effort near Khe Sahn in what became known as the Hill Battles. Six regiments of the 325C Division were defeated by two battalions of the 3rd Marines and elements of the 9th Marines. Following the Hill Battles, a decision was made to further strengthen American presence at the Khe Sahn airbase, in hopes that it would instigate the North Vietnamese to fight a set piece battle with US forces.

When the NVA launched their full scale assault on the airbase in January 1968, Gen. Westmoreland was convinced a nuclear attack would persuade the Communists to call off their attack. Fearing the airbase would be overrun like the French airbase at Dien Bien Phu, Westmoreland pressed Pacific Command to use nuclear or chemical weapons to halt the assault. The effort failed, but not because of American refusal to use those types of weapons. Unclassified documents report that Defense Secretary Robert McNamara sent a memo to President Lyndon B. Johnson stating “Because of terrain and other conditions peculiar to our operations in South Vietnam, it is inconceivable that the use of nuclear weapons would be recommended there against either Viet Cong or North Vietnamese forces.”

An overland force of Marine and Army troops were able to launch a relief effort with Operation Pegasus in April. Heavy airstrikes continued throughout the region for the remainder of the siege as the base was evacuated, which finally occurred in July. The Khe Sahn airbase was dismantled and destroyed and US forces were withdrawn from the area. The battle marked a pivotal point in American policy in Vietnam. With the election of Richard Nixon in November 1968 a new strategy would be implemented in Vietnam that would help bring about the US withdrawal from the country. Vietnamization was the handing over of combat duties back to the South Vietnamese with the American’s returning to their advisory role. Within five years of the Battle of Khe Sahn, US troops would be out of Vietnam.

Look for more information regarding the Battle of Khe Sahn in the future Modern War issue #21 with the article “The Hill Battles of Khe Sahn” and join the conversation on Facebook!

Wellington’s Victory The classic 1976 game covering the battle of Waterloo returns in this revamped version. Napoleon’s French Army of the North faces Wellington’s hodge-podge Army of the Low Countries, who are fighting for time while awaiting the arrival of Blucher’s Prussian Army of the Lower Rhine. The maps use natural contours to show

elevations, with terrain features including the critical chateaux, villages and farms, walls, woods, hedges, sunken roads, slopes, streams, and marshes. Most of the vividly colored counters represent combat units: infantry battalions, cavalry squadrons, artillery batteries, and engineer detachments. Many battalions have additional counters for specialist skirmishers, or additional counters to represent greater size. Unit capabilities are modified by a number of formation markers, from infantry squares to cavalry vedettes. Individual leaders enhance unit performance, while each army’s high command is represented by key commanders and unit headquarters. The game mechanics have been streamlined; a single dice roll inflicts casualties and disorder. Units and larger organizations wear down over time and must be rested or risk a catastrophic collapse. Finesse trumps brute strength in combat; players must utilize a variety of arms, formations, and tactics to seize key ground and destroy enemy units. Hidden movement allows each player to prepare surprises for the other. Multiple scenarios cover everything from the historical battle to a fight for an individual chateau. The French player may decide on an early start, or even on turning the battle into a demonstration. The Prussian arrival can occur early with fewer troops, or later with more, at the will of the allied player. It’s all here, from massive cavalry charges to grand bombardments to skirmishing to wild melees, with the fate of Europe in the balance.contents• Four34x22inchterrainmaps• 1,960 die-cut counters • ColorRule/Scenario Booklet• Assorted Player Aid Displays• Player Aid cards• Storage bags

Napoleon’s Last BattlesNapoleon has escaped exile on Elba to retake the French throne in early 1815, but is surrounded by the armies of the Seventh Coalition, determined to remove him again. Napoleon’s only chance is a preemptive strike, to disrupt the Coalition’s plans and perhaps cause it to fall apart. Belgium has the closest targets, the armies of his two most steadfast opponents, Britain and Prussia. The French concentration, secret and swift, catches the Coalition armies off-guard. For four days, the armies maneuver and clash, with the fate of Europe in the balance.

This game is a reprint and update of the classic SPI game from 1976. The map covers the entire campaign area, featuring the towns, roads, rivers, woods, chateaux, and ridges that affected the fighting. The colorful units in the game include infantry, cavalry, and artillery brigades, plus key leaders.

The original game’s scenarios are intact, covering the entire campaign or using just a portion of the map and counter set to cover each of the four principal battles fought historically: Ligny, Quatre Bras, Wavre, and Waterloo (or La Belle Alliance). The one-day mini campaigns and a Wavre variant from DG’s 1995 reprint also return. Over 90 extra units have been added to make potential reinforcements available, to modify the original order of battle due to new research, or to give players the means to alter each army’s countermix. Optional rules present variants for several of the standard rules.

D-Day at Peleliu is a solitaire game simulating the amphibious invasion of Peleliu in the Palau Islands. The Marines assaulted with the primary goal of capturing the airstrip nestled amid jungle and overlooked by forbidding mountain terrain. Though Maj. Gen. William Rupertus, commander of the division, predicted

a quick four-day victory, the battle was instead a two-month fight to the death against some 10,000 tenacious Japanese.

Designer John Butterfield advances the solitaire system of his award-winning D-Day at Omaha Beach to the next level. You control the US forces against a Japanese defense determined to hold the island at all costs. an innovative no-dice combat system highlights unknown enemy deployments and the importance of using the right weapons and tactics.

folio series $19.95 each shanghai incident

The Japanese manufactured the 1932 “incident” to excuse their attempt to seize the great port of Shanghai as a foothold for a larger invasion of China. Japanese skill is matched against Chinese numbers, but both players depend on frequent pauses to rebuild their strength.

Players affect combat with support fire, always in short supply.

el Alamein: rommel at Alam el Halfa

The Fire & Movement system portrays the realities of mechanized warfare, giving motorized and specially-trained units clear advantages. Players affect combat with support fire, always in short supply.

mortain Counterattack: the drive to Avranches

The Allied breakout from the Normandy bridgehead was in full swing in August 1944, when Hitler ordered a massive German counterattack to cut off the spearhead. Its success depended on the quick capture of the area around Mortain, while the defending US 30th Infantry Division had to buy time for reinforcements to arrive. The Fire & Movement system portrays the realities of mechanized warfare, giving motorized and specially-trained units clear advantages. Players affect combat with support fire, always in short supply.

SPW introduces Tannenberg: The Introductory Game as an easy way to get into the Der Weltkrieg series. For a low price you can experience why so many rate Der Weltkrieg among their favorites. Follow the introductory videos on the SPW website, and get into one of the most playable and innovative systems available.

The series covers all World War I in Europe and the Middle East using a standard system with rules that apply to all its games. By learning how to play Tannenberg, you will know how to play the others.

The series uses simple systems. First is the representation of terrain the maps use hexside rather than in-hex depictions. That triples the amount of information on the map while adding realism and accuracy to movement and combat.

The combat system takes into account every strength point, and it’s not odds dependent. Losses are by strength point, which accurately depicts the effects of combat action and attrition.

Supply is simple and effective, representing the need to replenish ammunition. Units can’t fully attack or defend without supplies, and the system recreates intense combat and lulls.

Tannenberg is also a great way to get first-timers into wargaming. The rules are short and to the point. The video tutorials are an easy way to learn, and they give examples from the game. Watch them now and see for yourself.

pLedGe proGrAm overvieW The Decision Games Pledge Program is an

online preorder system for gamers to "pledge” their support to purchase future games thereby directing our efforts to the games customers have the most interest in seeing published. Pledge orders will receive up to a 25% discount from the final retail price. We will provide estimated pricing based on the latest information we have about the game components and print pricing, however the final price is subject to change (largely due to the variable costs of paper and shipping). Updates about the collation and shipping are included in our What’s New page. Normally, we start printing game components in January. We close the pledge orders when components start arriving in our warehouse and begin collecting payments. Most games are shipped by the end of June.

The Decision Games Pledge Program has published many games over the past 15 years. For your convenience, we are listing the projects to be released in the next year in the first section of the pledge list, then the games we have in progress for the following two years. We will add games to the Pledge Program through the surveys we conduct on-line and in our magazines.

To pledge for additional games, check your list, make changes or updates to your list or customer information, visit the pledge area of the Decision Games Shop. Pledges are a commitment to purchase a game when published and current payment information is required in order to make pledges—credit card information must be kept current in order to maintain a pledge order. Accounts that are not kept current will have their pledge orders cancelled so that we are able to keep accurate count of pledge orders.

pLedGe proGrAm UpdAte (15 SEP 15)

After nearly 15 years, we decided to reboot our pledge program last Fall. The pledge program itself was pared down to games actually in design or development. Three of those games were published this year.

First, Wellington’s Victory with a beautiful, updated map, a fantastic set of counters that were selected through customer choice and feedback over several months on CSW, and an updated game system.

Second, the classic Napoleon's Last Battles. This game has also had a thorough update of the map and counter graphics (please take a look at the samples on the store page). The original game system has been loved for nearly four decades so we didn't change anything in the game system, but we did add several new options, most notably the ability to add additional counters or exchange the original counters for variants that have been

proposed such as the addition of Hal force as well as several leaders, and the substitution of the overly strong Prussian artillery for a more accurate OOB (and several other substitution possibilities for the French and Prussian forces).

Finally, we are releasing the long-awaited third volume in John' Butterfield's D-Day series, D-Day at Peleliu. This game covers not only the landings but the long inland battle (a planned four-day battle turned into a two and a half month brutal campaign). So, we get the same great solitaire system and played and loved at Omaha Beach and Tarawa and now, new terrain and obstacles. All three games are now available.

Please note – if you pledged for any games before 1 Oct 14 and have not reset your pledge account since then, your order is not in the pledge system. Please update or reset your account ASAP. We apologize for the inconvenience of having to reset your pledge account, but we anticipate a better pledge program experience going forward.

Going forward, new games will enter the pledge system through various surveys such as the one found in this Dispatch. Most games that enter the pledge program will be published in three years or less. With monster games, we will not guarantee a publication date so we can insure these games are given ample playtest time to refine and improve rules clarity, and time for things like counters to be checked over and over again to reduce errata.

Looking at the short-term, we have decided to delay publication of two new boxed games into 2017 in order to give them more time in development and play testing, and return the remaining two to the survey we are conducting currently to insure there is sufficient interest in the games. We want to make sure our efforts are going where our customers want them and that we take the time and devote the appropriate resources for the games to be everything anticipated (and more!).

2017Alamo to Appomattox Campaign for North Africa

2018+ It’s up to you!

pLedGe GAmes for 2017

1. alamo to appomattox. A2A is a grand strategy game of the American Civil War in the style of Krieg! Map includes terrain, strategic objectives, roads/rail, naval zones, navigable and non-navigable rivers, cities and locales, supply centers and other features affecting the game. Counters represent the corps and armies of the war. Cards provide the strategic-political-economic direction for each side. Strategies are many and varied but the ultimate goal is to demoralize the opposing faction's population through military, economic and political victories while sustaining your own population's will to continue the fight. The players each choose cards to play each turn. These cards lead to new units and result in events. The events include all of the key events such as the Emancipation Proclamation, election results, and possible intervention. Many scenarios will be included along with a Grand Campaign scenario.

Beyond the ACW proper, there are two introductory scenarios: Alamo, a mini-game of the War for Texas and Manifest Destiny, a Mexican-American War mini-game. These short campaigns will give new players an excellent place to start playing and veteran players will have two scenarios that can be finished in an evening. In addition, there will be a method for generating alternative starting times and situations for the Civil War. Three maps, 560 counters, 200 cards. Est. Retail: $160 (Est. Pledge $120).

2. campaign for north africa (SPI). There is no paperwork or data tracking in this remake of the SPI classic; streamlined but realistic procedures allow the realistic portrayal of unit assignment and supply expenditure. Command and control cards drive the action, enabling a player to tailor his emphasis on building units, gathering intelligence, conducting operations, or building up supplies. The map has been given a graphic update. The air war is updated and enhanced and the OOB presents the latest research with all units at a battalion level (armor in companies and air units in squadrons). Now it’s the ultimate North Africa simulation. Five maps, eight counter sheets, illustrated rules booklet, Campaign Analysis booklet. Est. Retail $200 (Est. Pledge $150).

Based on the feedback we receive from this survey going out to over 10,000 of our customers, we are going to refocus our pledge program to the games our customers most want to see published. Our intent is to publish one new boxed wargame each year from among the following titles. In addition, we will consider reprinting a previously printed title as interest indicates (such as we have done with D-Day at Omaha most recently). The result of this survey will be the introduction of 3-4 game designs into our pledge program for the years 2018-2021. As discussed elsewhere, we will be looking at the SF games and Euro-style games separately and they will have their own pipelines and publication schedules. Please use the online form or return the form on page 16 with your order.

Boxed GAmes

We are looking at the following ideas for the D-Day series. All D-Day series games will have one map sheet, two counter sheets (352 counters), 55 cards, play aid cards, and a 48-page full color rules booklet. Please rank them from 1 to 6 (first to sixth/last) in the order you would prefer to see them published.

A1. saipan. One Army and two USMC divisions drive to clear the entire island. Smaller scenarios would allow for the initial landings and first few days ashore, while additional scenarios would cover the inland campaign in greater depth. Rules for Japanese banzai charges and heavy fortifications would be created to show the nature of fighting on these pacific islands.

A2. iwo Jima. Two-plus USMC divisions drive to clear the volcanic island. Smaller scenarios for Mount Suribachi and the Amphitheater would be included.

A3. Kakazu ridge. This game would focus on this significant battle on Okinawa as the US forces struggled through the outer defenses of the Shuri Line. Rules will include Japanese counterattacks, nighttime infiltration tactics and caves. Cactus Ridge and The Pinnacle may be included if additional map and counters are authorized, or they may be published separately.

A4. stalingrad. This would be most or all of the city fight at a battalion or brigade level.

A5. manila. This would be the city fight for Intramuros and Manila at a company or battalion level.

A6. monte cassino. This would be the fight for Monte Cassino itself. Scenarios would include all four battles at battalion and

company level (with additional counters).

We are looking at the following ideas for the GOSS series. Please rank them from 1 to 9 (first to ninth/last) in the order you would prefer to see them published.

B1. gazala (26 may-21 Jun 1942). This game covers Rommel’s second attempt to take Tobruk and drive into Egypt. New rules would take into account the peculiarities of desert fighting, but would still largely use the same basic GOSS rule system. Tanks would be presented in even smaller detachments than company to show the nature of tank warfare in the desert and their importance in attacking and defending. 4 maps, 14 counter sheets.

B2. alamein (1 Jul- 11 nov 42). Rommel’s DAK is checked and then defeated in a series of battles. But the Axis forces might have broken through and continued on to Alexandria, Cairo and the Suez Canal. 3-4 maps, 12-16 counter sheets.

B3. operation mars (25 nov-20 Dec 1942).Zhukov’s Grand offensive to destroy the German

9th Army still at the gates of Moscow. It would encompass the battles centered around Rzhev. Smaller scenarios would depict the offensive on both the western and eastern sides of the Rzhev Salient, while the larger campaign scenarios would show the operation in a larger scope using multiple maps. 4-6 maps, 16 counter sheets.

B4. Battles on the mius river (17 Jul-25 aug 1943). The struggles on the southern front of AGS and the Soviet attempts to break the German defensive line. Both sides would possess roughly equal forces, with elite German SS panzer divisions attempting to destroy attacking Soviet shock armies. 2-3 maps, about 6-8 counter sheets.

B5. Kirovograd (5-16 Jan 1944). After breaching the Dnepr River and the battle for Kremenchug, the Soviets drive for the important rail and road junction of Kirovograd. Local German commanders opt for a mobile defense and counterattack over Hitler’s orders. Lots of attack and counterattack by both sides leads to a tense and exciting battle. 2 maps, 6 counter sheets.

B6. cherkassy Pocket (24 Jan-16 Feb 1944). AKA the Battle of Korsun Pocket by the Germans,

this would recreate the formation of the pocket and subsequent attempts by the Germans to relieve it. Smaller scenarios would present one or two map sections of the battle that could be played in a shorter time. Mud and heavy weather conditions would affect the performance of both sides adversely. 4 maps, 16 counter sheets.

B7. market-garden (10-30 sep 1944). The Allied airborne landings and the drive to Arnhem. Scenarios would exist for each of the airborne division drops, as well as full map, multi-sector scenarios involving larger numbers of troops. Variants would allow for an earlier airborne drop by the Allies and random German unit placement. Units on the flank of the operation would be shown in more detail than in previous games on the subject. The game would use the same airdrop mechanisms presented in Atlantic Wall. Command rules would exist for all of the disparate German units being dredged up from rear areas to fight the Allied onslaught. 2-3 maps, 10 counter sheets.

B8. lucky Forward: Patton’s Third army in lorraine (6 sep-13 Dec 1944). This game would present Third Army’s 1944 offensive to just before the Germans launch their Ardennes Offensive further north. The battles of Metz, Fort Driant, and the German counteroffensive attempt against Patton using the new German Panzer Brigades would all be here. Smaller scenarios would allow the players to game smaller periods of time in each of the four months making up the campaign. The game would mate to Wacht am Rhein (2012), allowing more options for both simulations. 4 maps, 16 counter sheets.

B9. olympic (1 nov 1945-31 Jan 1946). In the planned invasion of Kyushu, the US attempts to secure the southern half of the island in preparation for Coronet, the invasion on Tokyo Plain. Using the amphibious and airborne rules first presented in Atlantic Wall, US players would land the V USMC Corps and two US Army Corps along the coast of the southern part of the island. Smaller scenarios would deal with each of the three separate invasion areas in detail. Kamikazes, suicide boats, and Japanese ground suicide detachments would be present, not to mention the possibility of tactical nuclear detonations. 6 maps, 18 counter sheets.

Wellington’s victory seriesThe following proposals use the system

introduced this year in Wellington’s Victory. Each game will include the system rules, including all charts and tables, along with the necessary exclusive rules for that game. The battlefields are displayed on contoured maps at 110 yards per hex. Combat units are infantry battalions (represented by one or more counters), cavalry squadrons, and artillery batteries, with leader counters representing commanders from army to regimental (demi-brigade) level. Turns cover 15 minutes of real time. Combat features various combinations of fire and shock action, while unit morale and formation are critical for maximizing combat in different situations. Please rank them from 1 to 5 (first to fifth/last) in the order you would prefer to see them published.


C1. marengo, 14 June 1800. The fledgling First Consul of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, had led his incomplete Reserve Army into Italy, disrupting the Austrian position. The French dispersed to find the retreating Austrians, leaving one wing exposed at Marengo, outside Alessandria. A sudden Austrian attack caught the French by surprise. A touch-and-go battle ensued along the swollen Fontanone Creek, the Austrians attempting to smash the isolated French line, the French buying time for reinforcements to arrive. Both sides have multiple strategy options and variable reinforcements. 3 maps, 2 counter sheets.

C2. austerlitz, 2 December 1805. Napoleon’s most decisive victory was brought about by a successful French deception causing the Coalition armies to overextend their lines. This game would recreate the uncertainty faced by both sides with variable deployment, hidden entry, and optional orders of battle. 4 maps, 7 counter sheets.

C3. salamanca, 22 July 1812. The battle that broke the back of Napoleon’s Spanish conquests started with a sudden attack by Wellington after a fleeting mistake by Marshal Marmont. The battle was an even contest between well-matched opponents, as the British try to roll up the French line before Marmont can reorganize for a counterattack. The map features interesting terrain, including a ditch unknown to either general. 3 maps, 4 counter sheets.

C4. Quatre-Bras, 16 June 1815. Two days before Waterloo, the French left wing under Mashal Ney encountered Wellington’s army at the crossroads of Quatre Bras. Unknown to Ney, he faced only a thin line of troops as the bulk of Wellington’s army raced to the front. Uncertainty, compounded by conflicting orders from Napoleon, delayed the French advance for several critical hours. Both sides need a quick victory to enable intervention, perhaps decisive, at Ligny, where Napoleon and Blucher have come to grips. Multiple strategy choices for both sides ensure an element of doubt. 2 maps, 3 counter sheets.

C5. grand ligny, 16 June 1815. Napoleon has returned to power, engendering yet another coalition against him. In hopes of forcing negotiated peace, he has launched a preemptive strike into Belgium, boldly placing the outnumbered French army at the junction of the Coalition armies facing him. While he confronts the main body of the Prussian army along Ligny Creek, Marshal Ney and the French left wing face an unknown number of Wellington’s Allied troops at the crossroads of Quatre Bras a few miles to the west. A quick victory at the crossroads could have a decisive impact at Ligny; without it, a brutal set-piece battle looms.

Scenarios for Ligny and Quatre-Bras, plus a Grand Scenario. 6 maps, 9 counter sheets.

We are looking at the following game proposals that are not part of a series. Please rank them from 1 to 5 (first to fifth/last) in the order you would prefer to see them published.

D1. imperium romanum 2. A thoroughly revised and expanded version of the West End 1985 edition led by Al Nofi (the original designer). A military, political, and economic simulation of the conflicts of the Roman Empire from the declining years of the old Republic in the last century before the modern era through the collapse of the Western Empire some six centuries later. The game includes more than forty scenarios, from the Mithridatic wars (88-63 BC) through those of the Emperor Justinian and his general Belisarius in the 6th century, including several “what if” situations. IR includes two maps, three counter sheets representing legions, fleets, generals, barbarian hordes, and more, a rule book with designer’s notes, and a scenario book with historical commentary.

D2. First World War. An update of the SPI classic.D3. War in europe. A thorough update

of the design led by Karl Lean (Computer War in Europe developer).

D4. advanced eTo (2nd edition) will be a thorough update of the popular AETO by designer Eric Harvey. AETO2 will feature an a new map set, updated OOB cards, streamlined rules—plus the complete AOI add-on. 3 maps, 10 counter sheets

D5. Hand of Fate. Players would choose Campaign Cards to generate reinforcements and political events. The Campaign Cards replace the complex political rules often required to simulate the Vietnam conflict. Players can choose different levels of escalation to generate different levels of forces, at a trade-off in political support and military efficiency. The Communist player could choose between low-level terrorism, mid-level guerrilla warfare or a full scale Tet style offensive. The Allied player could choose to intervene with just US Special Forces, or mobilize for an all-or-nothing invasion of Communist sanctuaries in Laos and Cambodia. Units will be US/ARVN brigades and regiments and NVA divisions and Viet Cong fronts, rated for their conventional and unconventional capabilities. The map will cover all of Indochina. A semi-abstract system will model air operations.

E. Of all the boxed game proposals listed above and regardless of their groups and other considerations, list up to five games that you would pledge for immediately and prefer to see published ASAP.

E1-5.

zip-LoCK reprints We are planning to reprint one or two sold

out Special Edition magazine games next year. These would come in zip-lock format similar to our folio series (i.e. front and back covers but would not include the magazine). Please rank them from 1 to 5 (first to fifth/last) in the order you would prefer to see them published.

I. I would prefer to see the zip-lock reprints in boxed format even though that would increase the price $15-20 (to around $45 for single map games and $70 for two-map games). Enter 0 for No and 1 for Yes.

We are looking at the following game proposals for science-fiction games. Please rank them from 1 to 6 (first to sixth/last) in the order you would prefer to see them published.

J1. Free mars (SPI). From the colonies of Mars to the orbital stations of Earth and to the outposts on Jupiter, the cry is heard, Free Mars! A science fiction wargame of revolt across the Solar System in the late 21st century. Earth’s colonies are rising up against an oppressive Terran Federation. The system is based on SPI’s Battlefleet Mars, but with additional forces and units representing several types of spaceships, ground units and special forces. Special weapons include artificial intelligence missiles, cybernetic attacks and enhancement of human warriors via nano-technology. Cards representing the various military-political-


economic groups that are maneuvering for power are included. The map shows the Solar System out to Jupiter, with displays for each planet.

J2. star Force alpha centauri covers the initial human penetration into interstellar space, with the map showing the local group of stars in three dimensions. This will have several different races of sentient beings, each with their own psychology, reflected in different capabilities and objectives. Units will include: star forces (four ships each), star gates, and star soldier strike commands. There will also be some specialized units, such as local forces of varying capability, weapon packs for star forces, and nova inducing conversion bombs for when things get really desperate. A deck of cards will generate specialized capabilities for each sentient race as well as game events, allowing for the linking of individual scenarios into one grand game. One mounted map, 3-D ships, wood/plastic markers, one deck of cards.

J3. outreach ccovers the conquest of the Galaxy. Each player will represent a different sentient race, each with its own special capabilities. Players will have various types of star forces which can be used to explore galactic regions and engage in combat. The game map will depict the entire Milky Way Galaxy, divided up into hexagons. Star forces explore a hex by drawing a card from a deck that will give local star system resources, types of sentient populations (if any), and unique conditions (such as collapsars which can be used as ersatz star gates). Each card will have a corresponding marker which will be placed on the map in the explored hexagon. The game will also include an interface with Star Force for tactical resolution of battles. One mounted map, 3-D star forces, wood/plastic markers, one deck of cards.

J4. star soldier covers combat actions between elite star soldier forces fighting for control of planets in the Star Force universe. Units will represent several types of star soldiers, support platforms, ground forces, and orbital support. Each of the sentient races from the Star Force universe will have its own separate set of capabilities. There will also be various types of hostile aliens for the occasional bug hunt (and the bugs may have hidden abilities which can really bite back). The game will use geomorphic maps to portray different types of environs, as well as a space map for scenarios set around assaulting enemy star gates. Cards will provide individual leaders, random events and secret objectives. Geomorphic maps, 3-D star soldiers, wood/plastic markers, one deck of cards.

J5. race to mars. 1-6 players represent the various national and private interests vying to be the first to send astronauts to Mars and the asteroids. Players use a limited number of actions each turn to research and develop various rocket types, create infrastructure on moons and orbital bases, launch missions,

gain resources and glory points. Mounted map, plastic and wood markers, one deck of cards.

J6. after the emP. 2-6 players lead factions following a solar flare that brings down modern civilization. Each faction will have different capabilities and different objectives. You have to build up Sector 1 (food production), Sector 2 (resource and construction), and Sector 3 (services and technology) by building up resources and trading with other players. There will be two decks of cards, one giving special gear and the second with random events. Special bonuses for restarting society—or you can go completely environmental with a low-tech approach.

We are looking at the following game proposals for Euro-style games. All games will include mounted maps, 3-D playing pieces and/or large tiles, plus full-color rules with lavishly illustrated examples of play. Please rank them from 1 to 6 (first to sixth/last) in the order you would prefer to see them published.

K1. The Wandering of the Peoples – The Voelkerwanderung. This Ty Bomba Euro-style design is set in the mid-5th century AD. The map covers the Western Roman Empire from the Rhine and Danube River lines west to Latetia (modern-day Paris) and south to Rome. Up to four chiefs attempt to win by being the first to lead their tribe into the heart of the empire, the fabulous city of Rome. Along the way, each will find his progress slowed by determined Roman legions, plagues, the chicanery of the gods, and perhaps even the backstabbing diplomacy of his comrades. No player is ever eliminated before the end of the game, and even the last-place person can quickly come from behind to win at the last minute. A game of alliance, betrayal, and maneuver, it’s easily played in under an hour.

K2. east india company. In the days of sail, following the exciting discoveries by European explorers in Africa, Asia, and the New World, opportunities emerged to bring to markets, both home and abroad, exotic goods from around the known world. Speculators formed companies, built ships, and sent merchants to turn the products of colonies overseas into profits at home. National monopolies competed with their European rivals to dominate markets and make fortunes from the demand for ivory, tea, and spices—or risk arriving late to the party and leaving goods to rot in a saturated market. Even worse, pirates lurked in every corner of the world where treasure-laden merchant vessels sought to ply their trade. Despite the risks of competition and piracy, these companies grew over centuries to become the most powerful financial and political institutions of their time.

In East India Company 2-5 players preside over European investment companies engaged in 18th

century global colonization and trade. This Paul Owen design is won by accumulating the most cash and assets while avoiding excessive debt.

K3. Westward Ho! 2-6 players take the role of powerbrokers building the American west, from 1848 through 1881. In each turn players move pioneers into new territories, build railroads and rake off profits from new industries. There’s plenty of action in this Joseph Miranda design with the US cavalry, Indians, militia, and famous outlaws all involved. The map shows the US divided into the historic territories of the era. Cards represent famous personalities, critical commercial firms (such as Wells Fargo and the Union Pacific) and historic events.

K4. Banana Wars (1898-1935). A John Poniske design of US intervention in Latin-America. Caribbean nations were invaded, occupied, and sometimes native politicians deposed. Battles with native rebels were frequent. Protecting and promoting economic concerns lay at the root of US military intervention. Businesses such as the United Fruit Company and the Standard Fruit Company sought to control the Caribbean banana, sugar and tobacco trade. Our Doughboys became their enforcers. Banana Wars is a delightful “whack-a-mole” game in which the US player stamps out insurrections while the Insurrecto player creates an unending string of crises that exhausts their resources.

K5. 1500m. Out pace, out surge, out think. Anyone who has ever watched the Olympic and national track events, or runs competitively, knows the short distances are all about speed and the long distances are about endurance, but the middle distance races are a chess match. This Eduardo Crespo design blends strategy and tactics as players jockey for strategic and tactical position throughout the race. Players are constantly faced with a trade-off of their endurance with opportunities for tactical advantages. Each turn, players bid endurance points for the opportunity to gain tactical advantages, but the more they bid, the faster their endurance runs out. Deciding where to move, how to pace and when to surge, you can become the next champion.

K6. rails to Victory. Take charge of America’s World War II struggle to run its railroads to win the war most quickly and efficiently. Players vie to build a rail system that can move the most men, weapons and supplies needed for the Allies to win in the European and Pacific Theaters of Operations. Objectives for each turn are generated by operations cards (such as the buildup for D-Day and the Manhattan Project). This Joseph Miranda design is based on actual World War II US Army railroad doctrinal publications, and the map is divided into the historic transportation zones, showing critical cities and track lines. 2-6 players compete, but cooperation becomes necessary because, if certain operational requirements are not fulfilled, the Axis wins and everyone loses.

The Quest for Annihilation The Role & Mechanics of Battle in the American Civil War

by Christopher Perello

Civil War came to the US when the first shot was fired at Fort Sumter on 12 April 1861. Most, including the leaders of both sides, thought it would be won or lost quickly, with a great battlefield collision. Instead, it ground on for four years. Battles were frequent, but each one rarely decided more than the control of a single town or a few blood soaked fields.The book is loaded with detail, and is illustrated with more than 320 maps, diagrams, photographs, orders of battle and data tables (320 pages).

Crowns in the GutterA Strategic Analysis of World War I

by Ted S. RaicerIllustrated by Christopher Perello

World War I was the crucial event of the 20th century, as the great European powers — which until then dominated the world economically, militarily and politically — destroyed themselves. That led to a second war a generation later, enabled the ascendance of the United States and Soviet Union, and unleashed the forces of nationalism and self-determination around the globe. Crowns in the Gutter provides a concise analysis of the strategies and tactics employed to try to achieve those goals. The narrative also has dozens of maps and diagrams to further illustrate all the action of the first total war.


With Custer at the Deathby Robert F. BurkeIllustrated by Christopher Perello

The fascination with Custer’s Last Stand hasn’t diminished in the decades since 1876. He led his regiment well ahead of the main body, only to run into an unprecedented gathering of Indians. The first accounts were pieced together by other soldiers arriving on the scene in the battle’s aftermath, and by archaeologists in the generations since. To that information was added the reminiscences of the Indians who fought there.Interleaving and cross-referencing all those accounts provides a minute-by-minute story of the fighting, as Custer desperately and expertly maneuvered his outnumbered troops to face repeated and well-coordinated assaults by bands of Indian warriors. The resultant narrative is supported by dozens of detailed maps and orders of battle for both sides.
