BATTLE IN AFRICA: 1879-1914 Second edition is edited by John Curry as part of the History of Wargaming Project series of books. Battle in Africa is a uniquely vivid analysis of colonial campaigning in the late-Victorian and Edwardian eras. Edited by Paddy Griffith, the author Howard Whitehouse guides the reader systematically through each stage of an African campaign, from the formulation of strategy to the fate of the wounded, and from the collection of supplies to the tactics of guerrilla warfare. He also offers a long-overdue comparative approach, which describes the Belgian, German, and Italian experiences as well as the better-known French and British … and he gives a rare emphasis to the perceptions of the indigenous African ‘enemy’. Illustrated throughout by Peter Dennis – who is himself a keen student of these campaigns – in an appropriately ‘period’ style. $20.00
BOLT ACTION: Combined Arms Whilst Combined Arms can be played and enjoyed as a stand-alone game, it is intended to allow players to incorporate Bolt Action, Blood Red Skies, Cruel Seas, or Victory at Sea for an epic continent-spanning wargaming campaign. The system is modular, simply requiring that you sub out certain Initiative cards from the game for those that pertain to your chosen game systems. These unique cards link your campaign inextricably with your wargames, meaning your choices in the campaign could mean victory or defeat on the tabletop. Box contains: Rules booklet; four game maps covering North West Europe, The Eastern Front, North Africa, and The Pacific theatres of operation; Orders Board; Operations Board; Six Card decks; 67 Tokens; Plastic Army markers; and Plastic Objectives. $75.00
