Wargames
War Games in the shop as i type.. ..and those i've been advised are available...
...and those i intend to re-stock immediately (or as soon as they be again available).
Wargames i've been advised are available since April 2006, when i started listing New & re-issued War Games i had not decided to carry;
this means there is a ginormous number of war games i can get, but have not yet listed unless i carry them (i.e. games available to specific customer order):
this is partly lack of local demand - but also because there are a lot more war games available, than i have space to carry in the shop:
so please, if you are after any specific game i have not yet listed, e-ask me to ask my suppliers whether they can supply it (v$imt$v at my domain, i-m-t.demon.co.uk), and at what price - etc.
i literally do not know the limit of the range of games i can obtain - or even of the range of games that are currently in print! No fully reliable & up-to-date listing exists or, i suspect, is even possible (though some brave souls, such as those publishing the Greater Games Industry Catalog (successor to the Games Quarterly Catalog), do try); e-mail me v$imt$v at my sub-domain, i-m-t.demon.co.uk, for any further details you may require, including news of other games that i may carry from time to time, or can readily obtain for you. Listing includes "Variable Tile" boardgames, and also wargames, as noted in the game descriptions.
[the boundary between War Games and Board Games is quite fuzzy in some areas: i try to include links where it strikes me that a game might fit equally well in either listing (or both); but i may miss some - emailed suggestions for inclusion of more such links will be considered, and quite likely acted upon - ppint.]
"in" = in stock (unless listed as out of stock after price)
"available" = advised that i can get, but not [yet] ordered for shop stock; got to specific customer order
the dates indicate when a game or expansion has been advised to me as a new release (or sometimes re-release)
N.B: the main "interesting games" wholesaler has warned that, with the fall of the ukL from us$2 to ~us$1.50, the cost prices and therefore the ukL rrps of games imported from merkia are going to be rising by ~30% above their pre-November 2008 prices; this is unavoidable.
some of the new, higher ukL prices have already begun to feed through, so if there are games, sourcebooks, expansions and adventures already in stock (or available) that you know you want, please don't leave buying them too long, or the prices could easily be (roughly) one third higher than they are now...
[i.e. if an rrp is listed here with a date earlier than mid-November 2008, the current rrp is very likely to be greater; but i will check with the wholealer, and then back with you, before accepting any payment - pp.]

- Achtung - Spitfire! Newly stocked game in 20th May 2004 ukL 25.99
WWII Air Combat over Europe 1940-1943
In the summer of 1940, the "Thousand-Year Reich" confronted the "Empire Upon Which The Sun Never Sets": in the skies over Southern England and the Channel, battle was joined between a War Machine that had never suffered a defeat, and a few - all too few, as "Stuffy" Dowding & Kiwi Keith Park knew, only too well - largely upper-class, privileged young british men of R.A.F. Fighter Command, the Royal Auxiliary Air Force, pilots seconded from Coastal & Bomber Commands, the Fleet Air Arm - and volunteers from occupied Europe, the Empire, and even revolting ex-colonials ( ;-) ), their senior officers & more elevated wearers of "scrambled eggs" largely drawn from those experienced in the Great War's R.F.C. & R.A.F.
Designed by D. J. Webster, Achtung - Spitfire! provides a mission generator that allows players to recreate these most famous missions, and even complete campaign games, with far more than just R. J. Mitchell's superb creation, and its opposition:
Contents: 24 Aircraft Data "Cards" - details & stats for: Spitfire Mks.IA, IIA, VB & C, Hurricane Mks.IA, IIC, Defiant Mk.I, Whirlwind Mk.IA, Typhoon Mk.I, Mosquito FB Mk.VI, Battle Mk.III, Blenheim Mk.IV, Wellington Mk.II, Bf 109 E, F & G; Bf 110C, Do 17Z-2 & 217E-3, FW 190A-2 & 3, He 111H-2, Ju 87B-2 "Stuka", Ju 88A-5; all with notes for other variants that saw use in this theatre during the period, Combat & Manoeuvering Table, (etc.), Booklet; 280 Colour Aircraft Counters, Double-Sided 34" (86.75cm) x 22" (55.88cm) hex-ruled Colour Map, Mission Track Chart, and "Programmed Instruction Rulebook" "to get you up & flying as soon as possible" & d-10 (ten-sided die).
Equally suitable for Solo, Two, and Multi-Player Play, though n.b. each player will need at least some familiarity with the rules; far too variable in Play Time to give any meaningful estimate, but allow anything from an hour to three hours per session, depending upon previous play experience & nature of mission/combat scenario decided upon. For Players Ages 12(ish)-96
- Advanced European Theatre of Operations: Advanced Pacific Theatre of Operations - NEW GAME/EXPANSION available 23rd September 2009 ukL 89.99

the 110-odd unpainted figures of the initial launch starter set's three armies have bases that incorporate individual damage record counters, allowing players to change the compostion of their military units (cf. wiz-kids' hero-clix minis); the set also includes each army's pre-painted commander mini, and is sufficient for a full, two-player game
each Booster Pack contains 1 rare Hero, 2 rare/uncommon Specialty Units (a total of from 5 to 10 prepainted minis; non-Hero minis may be duplicated) plus 5 Formation Unit Cards (that make use of minis from Army Packs and Booster Packs); Booster Pack Legion Bundles contain at least one copy of every figure and base card from that release for that particular army
Army Packs contain either 40 deco-print-enhanced** Infantry or 14-15 unpainted mounted Cavalry minis for one of the three empires' armies; they may contain duplicates of any non-Hero mini
the world of Arcane Legions is a magically-altered version of reality, but there's no indication that the battle rules incorporate sorceresses and gods, with magical powers

- Austerlitz 1805 New Game available 23rd May 2007 ukL 17.99
having by then made himself Emperor of France, Napoleon Bonaparte led a Grand Army of 67,000 soldiers against the 75,000 of the combined Austrian and Russian armies, and met them near Brunn (Brno) in the Austo-Hungarian Crown lands of Bohemia and Moravia (now the Czech Republic); they met at Austerlitz.
the battlefield is spread over hills, streams and valley, which demands careful attention to the tactics and battle order one chooses
Austerlitz was one of Napoleon's most crushing victories - but this was by no means inevitable, given the numbers and the quality of troops on either side; his superior generalship allied to grievous failings in communication between the allies played a decisive part - and provides great opportunity for game-play

- Axis & Allies New Revised Edition in 26th April 2006 c. ukL 34.99

- A&A: the Battle of the Bulge New Game in 22nd November 2006 ukL 34.99
After the successful D-Day invasion of Normandy, the Wehrmacht was either on the defensive or in rout - with one spectacular exception; the Ardennes winter offensive of 1944, in which an entire army - built up without any apparent realisation or appreciation of its significance by Allied intelligence - was thrown at a quiet sector of the front only weakly defended by merkin troops being "rested" there.
With the good fortune of atrocious weather conditions, the Allies air superiority was useless - and the Wehrmacht swept aside the light defences, driving deep into liberated Europe, and heading for Allied fuel dumps and the Channel Ports.
in this trouser-leg of time the offensive was contained, by a combination of fierce resistence by merkin troops in the area reorganising themselves into adhoc units, British troops driving down from the north, merkin troops from the south, and the eventual breaking of the weather allowing the Allied Air Force to interdict movement by the German Armour: But in your replaying of this famous campaign, it will take a combination of a clear-sighted strategy, successful tactics and flexibility, as well as a little luck, to achieve your army's aim, and prove the victor
contains 157 Plastic Combat Unit Playing Pieces (4 Bomber units, 12 Fighter, 18 Transport, 32 Armour, 44 Artillery & 47 Infantry), 110 Supply Tokens, 135 Plastic Chips, 36 Front-Line Markers, 6 Combat Strips, 4 Reinforcement & 2 Turn-Order Charts, 1 Turn & 1 Victory Point Marker, 12 Dice, the Game Map-Board and the Rulebook

- Carthage: The First Punic War - NEWLY STOCKED in 12th December 2007 (was ukL 44.99; out of stock)
classic hex-ruled map board war game set in the central Mediterranean, and on land in italy, sicily, corsica, sardina, and what is modern-day Tunisia & environs, then Carthage and its immediate territories
Carthage, daughter city of Phoenicia, was the dominant power in the west & central Mediterranean when the young Roman Republic started to expand against the non-Latin peoples in Italy, who were frequently allied to (or rapidly formed alliances with) Carthage in self-defence; and initially, when the Romans tried to take on the Carthaginians, they were soundly trounced - especially at sea. doggedly, Rome rebuilt its armies and created a fleet capable of taking on its new, major rival - no sailors, they evolved tactics that neutralised their opponents advantages, converting battles of seamanship into infantry battles that just happened to be fought on board ships. but this was not initially a struggle between two colonial powers as we now think of it - for "colonies" were traditionally daughter-cities established by one whose population had grown too large for it, but which was politically independent once it was a going concern - though normally friendly relations and especially trade, profitable to both, would be maintained.
The First Punic War was stumbled into the two major players, developing into the largest-scale conflict the central and western Mediterranean had ever seen.
contains one 22" x 33" (56 x 84 cm) & one 17" x 22" (42 x 56 cm) game maps, 2 Folders of Game Charts & Tables, Augury Event , Advanced Naval, Roman Political, Carthaginian Political & Manpower, Roman Army, Carthaginian Army, Rome City/Port, Carthage City/Port Rules, Charts, Displays & Tables, 1120 unit counters (military units, magistrates, etc.), Carthage Rules Booklet & The Ancient World Rules Booklet, and a d-10

Designed by Richard Berg for 1-2 Players; Age-Range not advised, but (depending on interests) i'd suggest 12/14-96; GMT indicate complexity: medium (6 out of 9), suitability for solo play: high (7 out of 9); 2nd in their The Ancient World series; playing-time of the full game: from a few hours, to (pretty well) as long as you like; quick, one-evening, and short-ish scenarios are also included

- Case Blue - NEW GAME available 3rd January 2008 [rrp ukL 125.00] OFFER PRICE ukL 109.99
(offer price is plus postage & insurance, as appropriate)
follows Army Group South vs. the Soviet's Red Army from 1941 through 1943 in World War II, with Hitler defining and re-dedining the Army Group's goals apparently at whim, and eventually deciding not to prioritise the strategic target of the oilfields above the propaganda target of taking the great city bearing the Soviet dictator's name - nor prioritising that above the strategic necessity of oil;
eventually, as things turned out in the real world, the oil fields were re-taken by the Red Army, and an entire Wehrmacht Army was surrounded and surrendrred, after havingh been ordered to retreat not even an inch...
but who should have won, had sane strategies been adopted by both sides? - and who will prove the better general amongst your friends in this campaign?
- Chandragupta - NEW GAME available 10th December 2008 ukL 44.99
latest in GMT's Great Battles of History series, following Chandragupta Maurya's victories over the Nandas, his expulsion of the Selucid Empire from the Indus Valley they'd ruled since Alexander the Great's conquest (Chandragupta's quite widely believed to have met him, as well as been inspired by him), to the bloodily hard-fought conquest of Kalinga, the last independent Indian kingdom within the area of the Gupta Empire by his grandson, Ashoka.
Ashoka was so repulsed by the slaughter that he forswore the path of conquest, adopted Buddhism, and settled down to become a widely-respected, merciful and just ruler, erecting pillars bearing his codification of the law, that all might read and know it, high and low, that may still be seen today; but the decline of the Mauryan Empire's power may also be traced to the latter part of his reign - though none was to match it, until the Mughal Empire over a millennium and a half later

- CS: Operation Whirlwind NEW GAME available 18th April 2007 ukL 36.99
November 1956: the Hungarian Uprising of 1956 started as a spontaneous - and completely un-orchestrated - expression of popular frustration with the drab economic, social and political realities of life under the soviet russian-imposed hungarian communist regime, inadequately backed up by the unenthusiastic russian-trained hungarian military, largely drawn as they were from the highly politically sophisticated population of some of the most political european cities, since the time of the austro-hungarian empire; what began as protest, rapidly turned into ad-hoc insurrection, albeit one armed for the most part with hand weapons, and ammunition supplies measured not so much in days, as in hours;
partly following an idealistic programme of a popularly broad national coalition, and partly carried along by the confused, unco-ordinated local actions of all manner of activists, the government of Imre Nagy ["Nodge" is the uk pronunciation - i don't know how close it is to the Hungarian] has ended the one-party system and legalised political debate, largely accepted the end of government control of industry, and the take-over of factories by co-operatives of their workers, and decided to withdraw from the Warsaw Pact and re-adopt the policy of neutrality Hungary's mostly followed since the end of WW I and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
the western allies are split, the U.K. and France are tangled up in the lunatic attempt to seize and hold the Suez Canal following its nationalisation by the Egyptians, which Merkia [and pretty much the whole of the rest of the world]'s insisted be abandoned forthwith - and Stalin seizes the opportunity to re-impose the USSR's control of an essential part of the cordon sanitaire he's established against invasion of Russia by the allies...
- after building up forces into a suitably-sized task force, he sends in the Red Army and sundry Warsaw Pact units with orders to re-establish Russian control at any and all costs, which will inevitably overwhelm the Hungarian Army and resistance, without ammunition and armoured support from the allies...

for 3-7 players (better with at least 4; best with 5-7), suitable for players aged from about 10 or 12 upwards, but the group need to be of roughly comparable strategy-learning ability and also need to be able to accept betrayals by friends within the game are part of the game; playing time very variable, from three hours to days - though the negotiating periods may be time-limited by agreement, or prearrangement - as may the overall length of any game.

It is 56 B.C, and the - first - Triumvirate of Pompey, Crassus and Caesar, the Three Men to Restore the Republic", have broken up, unable to agree any longer upon the division of power - and of the spoils, throwing the Republic back into civil war; it could scarcely be more bitter, than the wars that led up to their forming the Triumvirate - butthis time, it's a struggle until final andabsolute victory.
Draw supplies from the Provinces you control, move with your legions to threaten or take control of others; seek to persuade the Senate and the People of Rome to lend their support to your claims: to win, you must usually excel at both strategy and diplomacy; but different paths may lead equally well to the ultimate goal of control over the whole of Rome - the Republic, as well as its Empire.

For that is approximately when Amoebas first appeared in the Primordial Soup on Earth. Left to themselves, eat, drift around in the sea & from time to time divide in two; but now you control a tribe of 'em, and by acquiring Genes you can influence their development ∓ therefore their success; perhaps you'll adopt the ability to swim against the current, and maybe faster cell division, or perhaps something more economical? And what about Aggression, the ability to attack - and eat other Amoebae?
Eat, Move, Divide - life is simple when you're an Amoeba - but will yours be the Amoebae to Reign Supreme in the Primordial Soup?
Contents: 9 large & 28 small Wooden Biological Points; 28 Wooden Amoebae in 4 Different Shapes; 11 Environment & 30 Gene Cards, 220 Wooden Foodstuff Cubes, 4 Wooden Score Markers, 2 Dice, 1 Rules Booklet, 1 Game Board & 4 Reference Booklets.

Shipwreck supplement based upon the NATO "wargame" exercises, Teamwork '88, in which the Greens (definitely not the Soviet Navy, in the exercises) were assumed to've established bases, including airfields, in Norway, Scotland & northern England, whilst the Greys (equally definitely not the NATO forces in the exercises) had established bases in Iceland & central & southern England.
In the exercises, both sides were able to regard their enemy as the Soviets: Freeplay '88 is not so constrained...
Teamwork '88 was amongst the most realistic of modern naval wargames, in that the opposing forces' commanders were not required to act according to predetermined plans designed to test any particular new hard- (or soft)-ware, or NATO procedure, or fashionable tactical thinking, but were allowed to adopt any approach they thought would best achieve their different forces'allotted strategic aims:
Freeplay '88 goes further in allocating (& detailing) all the likely and possible forces and weapons systems that would have been available had the scenario been "live".
Playable as the full campaign, or as nine smaller-scale scenarios of varying size & complexity.
A4 (a little taller and a little narrower than Quarto) colour cover saddle-stapled 48pp plus card covers book; requires use of main Shipwreck book, immediately above.

- They Shall Not Pass: the Battle of Verdun 1916 New Game available 21st February 2007 ukL 14.99
Erich von Falkenhayn's "Fall Gericht" battle plan was simple: to kill so many French soldiers that there would be no-one left to defend their motherland. simple, but not exactly elegant; and nor did he take into consideration the German Army's own losses and suffering. For ten months, his army was repeatedly thrown against the fortress-city without him telling even his general the true aim of the offensive. and the French Second Army defended with great tenacity and courage, took its casualties, and made Marshal Petain's dictum reality: "Ils ne passeront pas!"

- Thud: the Discworld Boardgame New edition in 27th October 2005 ukL 24.99
(this edition includes two alternative sets of rules; the original, and those for the Koom Valley variant, in which the dwarfs are trying to make off with the Thudstone; and introduces the Kings' Game, a test of wits and Thud skills, to see who would have won a legendary game between a dwarf-king and a troll monarch, once it had reached the imminent final scene...) (and yes, the price has gone down by ukL 5 from that of the first edition)
Based on the shattering battle of the Koom Valley between countless trolls & innumerable dwarfs (well, eight and thirty-two, respectively, in the game, plus the Thudstone, and a spare stone/piece, all lovingly sculpted by Bernard Pearson, the Cunning Artificer indeed); plus the unique 45cm x 45cm (c.18" x 18") Thud Gameboard; Thud Rulebook and Strategy Guide;
"A Head to Head Strategy game for Two Players aged 8 to Adult" "Designed by Trevor Truran and Terry Pratchett"; the new edition's box top uses the excellent cover art from the uk editions of the novel,
Thud!.
This is an excellent and unique boardgame, that i think will appeal to players of chess, draughts ("checkers", for merkins), go & otello or reversi, requiring players learn fairly simple rules for the moves of the two kinds of pieces, the Dwarfs and the Trolls, and then to learn how best to play both; for when the players agree neither side can hope to take a further piece in a reasonable time, the board is set up afresh, and the player who played the Dwarfs now plays the Trolls, and vice-versa. The winner is s/he who scores best over both "halves", and the strategies for the two sides are almost completely different.
Were the satisfyingly chunky pieces felted, they would grace any room in the country upon a craftsman-made wooden - or, even better, slate! - Thud board (the quarter-folded card game board in the set is quite adequate, but not really up to the pieces' standards).

World War One, "The Great War", saw the birth of military flying and its very early development overtaken by the invention of war in the air: initially unarmed pilots and observers took up pistols, shot-guns & rifles, then "scout" aeroplanes were equipped with machine guns, initially incapable of firing through their craft's propellor-arc without shooting it off or, for the earliest (french) aces, severely damaging the aircraft's engine; then a mechanical interruptor mechanism was designed by reinhold platz, and the "Fokker Scourge" began; this was in turn countered first by "pusher" scouts, whose propellors were behind the main planes, and then by the allies' hydraulic interruptor mechanism [i can't remember how to spell the designer's name - "Constantinesco" ?]; with each new innovation, in technology and tactics, the tide of war in the air changed, and the important initiatives were frequently taken by the Platz, and the Imperial German pilots; Immelmann, Boelke & their colleagues wrote much of the rules of War in the Air (to be followed by the Luftwaffe pilots Molders, Galland &c. in the Spanish Civil War Kondor Legion, and the Second World War).
