Raging for over four years across the tortured landscapes of Europe, Africa and the Middle East, the First World War changed the face of warfare forever.

This book, with a foreword by Professor Hew Strachan, covers the fighting on all fronts, from Flanders to Tannenberg and from Italy to Palestine. A series of moving extracts from personal letters, diaries and journals bring to life the experiences of soldiers and civilians caught up in the war.

CONQUEST OF KUMANJARO for Mage Wars releases June 12th

 Arcane Wonders  Comments Off on CONQUEST OF KUMANJARO for Mage Wars releases June 12th
May 072013
 

“Far to the South across the Veridian Sea, lies Kumanjaro, a sprawling continent of wide savannahs, dense jungles, and untold riches. It has remained untouched by the cultured nations of the North, until now…”

Kumanj

Arcane Wonders® is proud to announce CONQUEST OF KUMANJARO, our new Spell Tome Expansion including Alternate Mages!

 

kimanjo

 

Far to the south, the Johktari tribes of Kumanjaro have thrived for hundreds of years. Now the peace of a century has turned to conflict as the forces of Westlock carve out their own territories for the good of the crown and the glory of Asyra. Players can wage their own matches as a Priest of the Order of Malakai, or as a Beastmaster of the Johktari, using new ability cards for each, and a trove of new spells from all the spell schools. Join the fantasy phenomenon that pits mage against mage. The conquest begins with you!

The Johktari Beastmaster is a fierce and proud hunter, defending her people’s lands against invaders. She is a skilled archer and has the Ranged +1 trait for all of her non-spell ranged attacks. She can also sprint quickly across the vast savannahs, running swift as a Cheetah using her Sprinting ability which gives this Mage the Fast trait. If these Abilities weren’t deadly enough, the Johktari Beastmaster can use her Wounded Prey ability to mark and relentlessly pursue wounded prey, working with her animals to finish it off.

The Priest of Malakai is a crusader against non-believers. He seeks justice and relentlessly pursues enemies with Holy retribution. The Priest is blessed with the burning light of Malakai, and his basic melee attack deals light damage. In addition, once per round, if the Priest attacks and damages an enemy creature with any attack which deals light damage, the creature may burst into flame via Malakai’s Fire. To round out the divine might of this Mage is his Holy Avenger ability. When a friendly non-Legendary Holy creature comes into play, you may make it your Holy Avenger. The Holy Avenger is blessed with divine strength and it gains +5 Life.

angel

A few of the creatures in this expansion, such as the Guardian Angel, are ready to defend their Mage at any cost and thus introduce the Intercept ability which allows them to jump in the way of ranged attacks if they are on guard.

Kumanjaro is home to the Legendary Makunda, bold, fierce, and true king of the land.

The set also introduces three (3) new conditions: Bleed, Stuck, and Tainted.

Whether your Mage must treat a potentially fatal open wound, escape the web of the Giant Wolf Spider, or deal with a wound that just won’t heal… You and your opponents are guaranteed a thrilling battle with many tense moments and exciting surprises in the Arena!

Based upon customer feedback, we have included some new tokens for bookkeeping: Armor +1, Melee +1, and Ranged +1. These vivid tokens will ensure that you and your opponent know the current state of affairs on the board.

 

The EXPANSION INCLUDES:

• 2 Alternate Mages: Priest and Beastmaster

• 2 Mage Cards + 2 Mage Ability Cards

• 106 new Spell Cards

• 22 Punch Markers (with new conditions!)

 

The Conquest of Kumanjaro Spell Tome expansion will be available in the USA on June 12th at the 2013 Origins Game Fair in Columbus, OH. MSRP $29.99

German Fleet Boats: Steel Wolves Expansion Game 1 coming in May

 Historical  Comments Off on German Fleet Boats: Steel Wolves Expansion Game 1 coming in May
May 022013
 

fleet boatsGerman Fleet Boats: Steel Wolves Expansion Game 1

$30.00 SRP

Steel Wolves Expansion Game 1: German Fleet Boats assumes that Germany never entered into the 1935 Naval agreement, instead following OKM’s original view that aircraft and hydrophone technology will dramatically impact concentrated submarine operations around the British Isles and that the fleet boat concept of long range submarines are needed to operate outside areas of dense ASW coverage. German Fleet Boats assumes significant changes to the historic design strategy: instead of focusing on medium Type VII boats, the Germans turn to the larger U-cruiser with which they experimented with in World War I. German Fleet Boats assumes that early Type I, II, and VII submarines are built as historically occurred, but prior to starting a more extensive building program, OKM makes the decision to build cruiser/fleet type submarines starting with more Type Is and four of the even larger (projected) Type III, the designs for which were based on the IA, then followed by the VIII, XI, and XII. German Fleet Boats alters the opening of the campaign allowing players to play through to the end of the England Imperiled scenario which ends at the start of Operation Barbarossa. Modifications include changes to allied task forces and the availability of additional allied units. Also included are three additional Italian Cagni class submarines.

 

Requires a copy of Steel Wolves in order to play.

Rebel Raiders (American Civil War) from GMT Games in May

Rebel raidersRebel Raiders (American Civil War)

$69.00 SRP

Rebel Raiders on the High Seas is a comparatively short and simple game of the naval conflict at sea and on the great rivers in the American Civil War. Easily playable in less than three hours, Rebel Raiders on the High Seas is a strategic contest between two players, one seeking to reunite the Union by force, the other to maintain its new independence in the face of the escalating industrial might and resolve of its northern brother. More of a representation than a detailed simulation of that conflict, the game is intensely engaging, highly interactive and moves along quickly, with players constantly responding and reacting to their opponent’s moves.

 Although Rebel Raiders on the High Seas is not a card-driven game, the cards ensure that each game is very different, and that a strategy which worked in one game may not prove as efficacious in the next. The game is also customizable with a menu of elective rules to provide each side with a variety of “what if” options to further vary play.
