Winter 2024 Update from ATO MagazineGreetings from ATO Magazine,
Now mailing is ATO issue #61 with ROME IInc inside. The subscription copies have been turned into the mailing service and we’ll start sending out non-subscriber copies next week, domestics first, followed by international orders. You decide where to allocate resources (capital spending), raise new forces (hiring), undertake prestige projects (public relations), pleasing the church (shareholders), or even setting aside a reserve for a rainy decade or two. You need to blend military acumen with careful administration, as well as intrigue, making the most of what you have each turn, just like any modern-day business. ROME, IInc. will give you a new perception of how war is a cost, business is a benefit, and empire is somewhere in between. It’s up to you to find a balance. Download the rules (look to the lower right) and order this issue from the game's webpage here. Up Next Now open for pre-orders and appearing in ATO #62 will be Strike of the Heron - The Approach to Stalingrad which explores the sudden, astonishing, breakthrough operation “Fischreiher” (Heron) by the German XIV Panzer Korps and other supporting units, to the Volga River in August, 1942. A long thin corridor had been driven deep into Soviet lines. Could it be held? Stalingrad became isolated from the north as the result of this bold thrust and the Soviets frantically counterattacked the narrow corridor from both sides. During game play, the Soviet player must not only ensure sufficient forces escape the intended German encirclement, but then maintain constant pressure on the overextended Panzer Korps with a series of counterattacks from both north and south of the corridor. You can learn more about this critical battle by clicking this link. Just 48 Hours to Go and the Challenge!
Your pledge can help push us over the monetary thresholds to achieve these last two but you must act soon – in two days the campaign will end. Click on the image above to visit our Kickstarter page for Kulm. Besides outright support for this project via pledges, you can also help, of course, by spreading the word anywhere you see gamers or Napoleonic enthusiasts. Kulm rules will be structured for "easy entry" to the La Batt system (like our La Bataille de Vauchamps was) and this means it's a chance to "grow the market" and attract new players to the whole La Bataille System. That is a win-win for everyone! Happy Holidays to All! | |||||||||||||||||||||
