Wahoo! is an alternate-history game covering the climactic 8 July 1863 Battle of Washington. One player takes the role of Robert E. Lee, commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, while the other player represents a combined Lincoln/Grant persona.

The game postulates that on the second day at the Battle of Gettysburg, the Confederate attack began earlier... Little Round Top was overrun and the bulk of the Army of the Potomac was forced to fall back on Baltimore to regroup.

The Confederate player is trying to conquer the City of Washington while (optimally) also destroying the Northerner's high command. The degree in which the Rebels succeed or fail is measured in victory points... the Confederate must gain 5 or more points to win. This basically means, barring Lincoln's death, the Confederate player must gain control of the Capitol and the White House hexes to win.

The topic is a variety of scenarios involving a new Iran-Iraq war which could expand to include the surrounding states, the US, France and the UK. Two other scenarios focus on Iraqi aggression against Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and a UN Coalition attack to save the Kurds and Marsh Arabs. Scenario options allow for Israeli entry, chemical and nuclear war, and much more.

MOSCOW '41 is a light/medium wargame covering the German Army Group Centre offensive aimed to seize Moscow, after having successfully defeated several Soviet armies in the great encirclement battles at the frontier and established two bridgeheads on the Dnieper.

Although based on a historical event, the two players can modify the course of the operations, with the Germans trying to achieve a decisive victory before the winter comes, and the Soviets playing a fighting withdrawal, until ready to strike a decisive blow at the invaders.

The game is recommended for two players, but has excellent solitaire suitability.

The War in the Mediterranean 1939-1941.

While Rommel's Afrika Korps was capturing the attention of the world, it's fate was being decided in the Mediterranean. No matter how good the general and his troops, without the supplies and equipment necessary to fight, the struggle could not be won. Supermarina I concerns itself with the struggle for naval supremacy in the Mediterranean Sea, the vital supply link for the Axis forces in North Africa.

Command at Sea travels to the waters off Spain in 1936, where in July, right-wing "Nationalists" rebelled against the democratically elected leftwing "Republicans", resulting in the bloody civil war. Italy and Germany quickly backed the Fascist Nationalists, as the Soviet Union rallied behind the Communist-Socialist-Anarchist Republicans. Meanwhile England, with a reluctant France, desperately sought to keep war from expanding.

Shattered Armada features 22 scenarios describing battles that actually did occur, "could have" battles with combatants who were close enough to fight; and "what if" battles drawn from war plans and journals.

From shore batteries and minefields to battleships and gunboats, players will re-live the role of Spanish navies as they contend with each other and warships of the Great Powers, as war at sea reveals Spain's ultimate fate.

PanzerKampfe consists of eight scenarios designed for the Clash of Armor miniatures rule system. Five of the scenarios feature division level or greater combat. Chronologically they span from 1941-44. Geographically they cover the Eastern Front (2), North Africa (1), and the Western Front (2). Also included are three "mini" scenarios that simulate regimental level combat on both the Eastern and Western Fronts, ideal for tournament play. Each scenario has a detailed full page map, order of battle, and all combat charts necessary to play.

The Cossacks Are Coming! is an extensively researched historical model of the Russian invasion of Germany in August and September of 1914.

Rome had been a Republic with Senators for about 500 years. Then came the line of emperors: Julius, Augustus, Tiberius, Calligula, Claudius, and then the sixth evil Emperor Nero. After the beast Nero committed suicide in AD 68 after an attempt to prove he was God incarnate, it appeared the Roman Empire had received a fatal wound to its head (leadership) which could not be healed. Three Caesars: The Roman Civil War of AD 69 re-creates this struggle. Galba, Ortho, and Vitellius engaged in a war where Romans fought against their fellow Romans to see who would become the next emperor of Rome.
Historically, none of them succeeded, either militarily or politically. Can you succeed where they failed? If not, General Vespasian is on his way to Rome to proclaim himself emperor, and begin the Flavian Dynasty.

III Caesars is a card driven game wherein the first player to get to Rome, conquer it, and acquire 10 political points wins immedaitely.

In Exodus: Moses vs Pharaoh: will you like Moses lead your people out of slavery and into freedom? Will the Hebrew Elders support your leadership? Will a decades old murder charge be brought against you? Will Pharaoh relent and “Let My People Go!” Will Joseph’s Bones be transported for re-burial? Will you plunder the Egyptians to make up for 400 years of slavery? Will Aaron and Hur be at your right and left hand?

As Pharaoh, will you keep the Hebrew slaves in order? Will your building programs proceed on schedule? Will your magicians defeat Moses at his own game? Will the gods of the Egyptians protect Egypt from the great I Am? How will the supernatural plagues be dealt with? Will your chariots crush the slave revolt before they escape across the Red Sea? Will you succeed where your historical counterpart failed?

Exodus is a card driven game of ten turns. Moses must lead the Hebrew people out of Egypt and across the Red Sea to freedom. If Moses fails then Pharaoh wins.
