The B-wing can wield as many as two torpedoes, as well as a cannon, and it can be equipped with a system upgrade for precision targeting. 

The B-Wing Expansion Pack contains a stunning miniature at 1/270 scale, a maneuver dial, all necessary tokens, four ship cards, and a devastating arsenal of five upgrade cards.

Alpha Strike Preview 1

 

For centuries, the armies of the Great Houses have fought to reclaim the glory of the fallen Star League, sending regiments of their elite MechWarriors into battle across hundreds of worlds as humanity slid inexorably toward a new Dark Age. The coming of the Clans—descendants of the lost Star League army—did little to stem the slaughter. It only raised the stakes.

Commands & ColorsCommands & Colors: Expansion 1: Greece & Eastern Kingdoms (Reprint)

$60.00 SRP

SDI

 

This Greece and the Eastern Kingdoms expansion features 21 scenarios. Now you can command the armies of Philip, Alexander and the Successors as you meet the hosts of Persians, Scythians and Indians to the east. In this expansion, you will find historical scenarios that focus on the hoplites of classical Greece fighting off the invading Persian army at Marathon and Plataea; epic battles from the Peloponnesian War, the rise of Macedon and Alexander’s battles of Gaugamela, Issus and Granicus against the Persians; and battles involving Alexander’s successors. With your Greeks you will be able to turn west and battle the Carthaginians in Sicily, or as King Pyrrhus at Heraclea and Ausculum, battle the Romans.

Rules-wise, if you are familiar with Commands & Colors: Ancients, you’ll have no trouble at all learning the special rules for this expansion, for the basic game mechanics remain unchanged. Battle dice still resolve combat quickly and the Command cards provide an element of luck that creates a fog of war and presents players with both challenges and opportunities for victory.

Contains:

Scenario Booklet

2 Reference Cards

Eight Dice

5 Sticker Sheets

Bag of 366 Blocks

KerFlip!KerFlip!

$30.00 SRP

 

 

KerFlip! is a “fast-thinking” word game that rewards you for making anagrams from a group of letter tiles faster than your opponents can. At the beginning of each round, players simultaneously drop a predetermined number of tiles onto the board and quickly flip them all ivory-side up (the fronts of the tiles are ivory, the backs are orange). At this point the round is a free-for-all, as players race to call out one word each. If the last player is taking too long to call a word, any of his opponents can hurry him by starting the timer, he’ll have 15 seconds to call a word or he’ll bust. Once every player has called a word for the round, they’re scored in the order they called, so the first player who called scores first, and so on. The first time a tile is used (its ivory side), it’s worth 10 points. Once it’s been scored, flip (or “KerFlip”) it to its orange side. Now it’s worth only 5 points to other players in the same round. Some tiles, identified by a small number in the bottom right corner, are premium tiles that award players cards with bonus point values. At the end of each round, recycle any remaining unused (ivory) tiles back to the draw pouch and sweep all used (orange) tiles into the collection chutes.

 

Games last 15-20 minutes (about 10-12 rounds) depending on the number of players (2-4). To cleanup at the end of the game, just pick up the game box and gently shake to funnel the tiles into a collection cup under the board. Voila! It’s fliptastic!
