Sutakku is a dice stacking game that uses chance, and multiplication to be a game of critical thinking.  Watch as Matt Busts it open.  From Smirk and Dagger Games.

 

 

 

We did get to play Sutakku and it is a lot of fun.  My initial impression was this too easy to stack, but the game mechanics change that.  Check back soon for a demo and a review.

Borodino 1812

$ 21.95 SRP

 

The battle of Borodino was one of the greatest encounters in European history, and one of the largest and most sanguinary in the Napoleonic Wars. Following the breakdown of relations between Russia and France, Napoleon assembled a vast Grande Armée drawn from the many states within the French sphere of influence. They crossed the river Neimen and entered Russian territory in June 1812 with the aim of inflicting a sharp defeat on the Tsar’s forces and bringing the Russians back into line. In a bloody battle of head-on attacks and desperate counter-attacks in the village of Borodino on 7 September 1812, both sides lost about a third of their men, with the Russians forced to withdraw and abandon Moscow to the French. However, the Grande Armée was harassed by Russian troops all the way back and was destroyed by the retreat. The greatest army Napoleon had ever commanded was reduced to a shadow of frozen, starving fugitives. This title will cover the events of Napoleon’s disastrous Russian campaign of 1812 in its entirety, with the set-piece battle of Borodino proving the focal point of the book.

Republic F105 Thunderchief new from Osprey

Republic F105 Thunderchief

$ 18.95 SRP

 

The Republic F-105 Thunderchief was the fastest and most successful strike fighter of the Cold War. Designed to deliver nuclear weapons at low altitude and then fight its way back to base, by the early 1960s it was the primary weapon in the USAF’s tactical strike arsenal. Thunderchief pilots in Europe, the Far East and the USA stood on short-notice alert, ready to take on the formidable defenses of their Communist Bloc targets. The F-105 was, however, to become a legend in a very different conflict. As direct American involvement in Vietnam increased, F-105s were deployed – initially as a deterrent, but ever more as conventional attack fighters against insurgency in Laos and Vietnam. With the start of the bombing campaign against North Vietnam, the Thunderchief became a vital element in attacks against some of the most heavily defended territory in modern history.

L5R RPG: Second City Boxed Set

$ 79.99 SRP

 

Twenty-five years ago, Rokugan fought a terrible battle against an invading gaijin army known as the Destroyers. Although the noble samurai of the Emerald Empire were victorious, the conflict was devastating beyond all others, and the lands of the Great Clans were left in ruins by the fighting. To spare her people the threat of further war, war which would surely lead to the death of an Empire, the Divine Empress sued for peace with the forces of darkness, and then dispatched her vassals to claim the empty lands left behind in the wake of the Destroyers. A generation later, the untimely death of a prominent magistrate in Rokugan suddenly elevates a group of simple samurai to a position of authority, but the magistrate’s unfinished business sends them to the Second City to see it to completion. There, influential samurai from the Empire have almost limitless potential, but the distractions from duty are numerous. In the Second City, will honor prove stronger than steel?

This boxed set for the Legend of the Five Rings Role-playing Game, 4th Edition includes the following:

A complete sourcebook on the Second City, and information on the Colonies beyond its border.
A sourcebook detailing the various individuals, groups, and agendas that comprise the Governor’s court of the Second City A complete campaign that brings characters from a position as minor deputies in the Emerald Empire to major players within the Colonies, and perhaps back again.
A poster-sized map of the Second City Technique Cards, covering all of the Great Clan basic Schools from the L5R RPG core rules
A pad of Character Sheets for everyone at the table

 

I had a descent amount of time to look this over at Gen Con.  It is a very attractive box set.  The print work and art is, as usual exquisite.  I hope to pick one up for myself very soon.
