Rosenberg's attack had wrong-footed the French. As soon as the skirmishers of the leading battalions had pressed in, the columns came forward. The Austrian infantry marched with enthusiasm, bands playing, and senior officers riding at the front. Davout's artillery greeted them with a hailstorm of projectiles, and battle was joined!

Operation Berserk Rheinlander

WWII Naval / Operational / Homegrown Rules

It is May 1941. The German Army is tasting victory at every turn...but the Kriegsmarine is living in its shadow. Hitler husbanded his navy, instead of wasting it early. "Now is the time" Hitler feels. He orders his surface wolves out upon the Atlantic, to wreck what havoc they may...if they make it.

This is a "alternate history" scenario. The rules are fairly easy, as the vessels are rated for hull, armor, firepower and speed. Gunnery is based off range "bands". There is a strategic element, as you will have land based, carrier based and float planes to conduct searches for the opposing forces. Each side will have a "core" force, that can be altered by "force augmentation" rolls...but beware there is good as well as bad! Strategic turns equal 4 hours per turn and tactical is 5 minutes per turn. Strategic movement will be conducted by a "blind" system, where the opposing forces will hand in orders for movement and search to the referee and then each side will be informed of the results secretly. Emphasis will be on playability and speed of play.

Samurai Battle

25mm Samurai / 3-6 players / Rules: Modified Volley and Bayonet

The Shogun lost his grip on power and has now had to resort to allies. He has taken to the field near Hikone Castle (clan: Li Naotsugu). The threat is an alliance of many clans. The challengers have a number of reasons to fight, but one is to capture the Shogun. The shaky alliance just might pull it off! Can the Shogun remain in power?

Avalon Hill Diplomacy

WWI Strategic / 5-7 players / Boardgame

This classic game of pure negotiation. If you know how to write, and how to stab someone in the back while shaking thier hand, then you already know how to play.

In the game, players represent one of the seven "Great Powers of Europe" (Great Britain, France, Austria, Germany, Italy, Russia or Turkey) in the years prior to World War I.

There are only two kinds of military units: armies and fleets. On any given turn, each of your military units has limited options: they can move into an adjoining territory, support an allied unit in an attack on an adjoining territory, support an allied unit in defending an adjoining territory, or hold their position.

Players instruct each of their units by writing a set of "orders." The outcome of each turn is determined by the rules of the game. There are no dice rolls or other elements of chance.

It's the most pure wargame and RPG ever, at the same time!

Kindermord

15mm WWI/ 2-6 Players

The Germans Try to break through to the channel ports in October 1914 to cause the British defenders to return to England and win the war by Christmas.
The attackers are newly raised troops from the college student volunteers with little training.

The British defenders are what is left from the old regular army after the August battles. Few in number, but with 30 aimed shots per minute, the Germans attackers thought they were attacking machine guns.
