1-COM1029 Gorkowski, John BALANCE OF POWERS: Wargame Balance of Powers enables players to game the entire First World War in a hex-and-chit format at the army corps and naval squadron-level from the diplomatic crisis of July, 1914, through countless air, land and naval battles until Europe reaches an armistice which can occur as late as May, 1919.

In addition to a three-map, four-year grand campaign, the game has several smaller scenarios, including single season, one-mappers, to accommodate every schedule and area of interest. The innovative map layout divides Europe horizontally rather than vertically to enable two-front struggles on a single map sheet. Taken together, the maps permit a degree of strategic speculation absent from operational-level games. For example, the British can invade the German or Adriatic coast instead of the Dardanelles.

Balance of Powers also portrays diplomacy and economics. A haggle-based diplomacy system enables history buffs to recreate the land-swap politics of the period, or players can opt for a simpler, streamlined schedule of neutral entry with a dash of randomness added for surprise.

Industrial production is as simple as 1-2-3 to avoid excessive math while enabling players to comprehend the cost of their losses. In the end, victory hinges on control of terrain or accumulated demoralization.

Game mechanics recreate the dilemmas of WWI. Land action begins with mobile stacks in grand sweeping offensives, but eventually slows down as corps flip to entrench and thereby lock in gains for the long war of attrition. Trench warfare involves an in-hex dimension with a counter attack mechanism that creates see-saw struggles for single hexes and thereby simulates the tactical ebb and flow that animated the front even during strategic stalemate.

The prospect of a 'breakthrough' to the green fields beyond motivates ceaseless attacks, but it's ephemeral until tanks, planes and tactical innovation change warfare forever. In the air and at sea, a roll-to-hit system enables air and (optional) naval combat to scale from the small dogfights of the Fokker Scourge to the mighty clash of dreadnoughts at Jutland. And there's a Sea Chart, in the corner of one map, which spans the globe so players can recreate events in the Far East and far out at sea.

Components: Three 22 X 34 inch maps, Four countersheets with approximately 900 counters (9/16-inch size), one Rulebook, one Scenario book, one General Records Track, 2 Player Aid Cards, and Dice.

1-COM1015 Ledford, Mitchell and Gregory M. Smith THE WAR IN EUROPE 1939-1945 - reprint WWII strategic level game covering all the action of Europe, the Mediterranean and North Africa.Offers everything a game of this scale and scope should, from massive armored breakthroughs and encirclements to national production and military improvement.

TWE may be played on its own or may be combined with The War: Pacific 1941-1945 (TWE) to recreate the entire Second World War. In conjunction with The War's Expansion Kit, gamers can now enjoy the complete TW franchise.

Also addresses 'what-if' WWII strategy: what if the Germans really built the carrier Graf Zeppelin; what if Mussolini had upgraded the quality of Italian forces; what if Stalin hadn't shot many of his best generals during the purges; what if the U.S. had entered the war earlier.or later; what if the British had been able to mobilize the Empire and the Dominions more effectively; what if the U.S. had developed the atomic bomb early enough to use in Europe, and so on.
It isn't intended to be a simulation. It's a gamer's game with quick, user-friendly combat systems. Veteran gamers familiar with classic WWII strategic level games should pick up the game very quickly. For new recruits, the short scenarios teach the basics, but can be played as stand-alone games in their own right. Includes 12 scenarios.

Product Information:
Complexity: High (about 8 out of 10)
Playing Time: 50 hours for full campaign (1.5 hours and up for scenarios)
Solitaire Suitability: Good

1-COM1012 von Borries, Vance BATAAN! Bataan! is a two-player game, recreating the battle for the peninsula. Vance von Borries has drawn from his game design experience to create a game engine capable of portraying the tense jungle-fighting which took place on Bataan. While the system is based on a previous success, the changes needed to simulate the fighting on Bataan make this a unique gaming experience.

Japanese forces will move quickly to out-flank and pry the US/Filipino units from their fortifications. Yet the Americans can successfully launch attacks out of these strong points, particularly when the crack Philippine Scouts are in the lead. From time to time a player may lead with his armor and this was the one battle of the war where the lowly US Stuart tank was the superior tank!

Bataan! features five scenarios. The three early scenarios, which include a learning scenario, all play to a conclusion in one sitting. They feature a surprising amount of movement for a mostly jungle warfare game and rely on sound military tactics. Only the fourth scenario, the last battle, is a true set-piece action. The Japanese planned it that way and yet even the outcome of that battle was not pre-ordained. All scenarios are tied together by a campaign scenario where both players contend with supply and disease to field the best force possible for the final offensive.

Components:

1 map - 22 x 34 inches
2 full sheets of 0.6 inch counters
