25 - Storm Over Taierzhuang

25 - Storm Over Taierzhuang

Volume 7, Number 1 (#25) Storm Over Taierzhuang

It sounds very familiar. An Axis army launches an offensive to take a key city. Except, the defenders have set up an elaborate trap, turning the city into a fortress that had to be taken block by block. And with most of the city captured, the defenders suddenly launched a massive attack on both flanks and virtually eliminated the Axis army. Stalingrad, 1942: right?

Volume 7, Number 2 (#26) There Must Be a Victory

Sailing ships with broadsides - the last vestige of "wooden ships and iron men." They mingle in a fleet action with iron-plated steamships, speedy armored rams, and a few ships with armored turrets. Mobile Bay? Charleston?

27 - The Pocket at Falaise

Volume 7, Number 3 (#27) The Pocket at Falaise

Cable TV news is full of horrific photos from “Highways of Death,” from Iraq to Libya that seem, almost literally, to be “paved” with burnt-out vehicles. Those who study WWII remember similar destruction... on the road out of the Falaise Pocket... where 25 German divisions raced for survival. But the devastation there was something unprecedented.

Volume 7, Number 4 (#28) "Tarleton's Quarter!"

"Tarleton's Quarter!" is a game about the British attempt to win the American Revolution by invading the Southern colonies.

Volume 8, Issue 1 (#29) Buffalo Wings

Historians, air aficionados, and gamers may have friendly disagreements when asked, "What was the best Allied fighter of WWII?" There seems to be much easier agreement on the question, "Which was the worst?" Answers always seem to include the stubby Brewster "Buffalo" near the top of any list.

30 - The Lash of the Turk

Volume 8, Issue 2 (#30) The Lash of the Turk

With the fall of Jerusalem, Europe learned a new synonym for boogeyman—"Turk." The Ottomans recaptured the Holy Land and gradually spread into Europe like a slow tide, including capturing Constantinople and the Balkans. Presuming extreme cruelty, various European leaders called for new crusades, to free fellow Christians from "the Lash of the Turk."

31 - Hungarian Nightmare

31 - Hungarian Nightmare

Volume 8, Issue 3 (#31) Hungarian Nightmare

Hungarian Nightmare is a simulation of one of the most bitter city fights of the Second World War: Budapest. Designer Mark Stille (North Wind Rain, Imperial Sunset and Wintergewitter) brings us the very first game ever to focus entirely on the grim city fight.

Between 26 December 1944 to 12 February 1945, an encircled garrison of some 79,000 German and Hungarian combat troops defended Budapest against 177,000 Soviet troops assisted by a Rumanian corps (of doubtful quality).

Volume 8, Issue 4 (#32) Birth of a Legend

“Lee will never venture upon a bold movement on a large scale.”

-- Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan

The Seven Days Campaign, fought from June 26th to July 2nd, 1862, represented the Union's finest chance to put an early end to the great rebellion, and the Confederacy's best shot at "bagging" an entire Union Army.

Virtually unknown when appointed to command the month before, Gen. Robert E. Lee promptly renamed his force, "The Army of Northern Virginia" - defining a future theater of operations the present defenders of the swampy ground east of Richmond could scarcely imagine. Aggressive and imaginative by nature, Lee summoned virtually every spare unit the South could muster for that rarest of Southern advantages, numerical superiority...
