Dragon Valley

$ 60.00 Srp

** Game Salute Select exclusive. One-page sign-up at www.gamesalute.com/selectstoresignup **

“Times are dire here around Dragon Valley. We’re fighting off waves of orc armies, goblin war machines and even the flying lizards themselves. For now the mountain pass remains secure but our scouts have reported large gatherings in the valley and we’re expecting a full scale assault before the season’s end. If that wasn’t enough to worry about, our neighbors are also preparing for war and petitioning the king for his troops and supplies which are already spread thin. It seems you’ll not only be fighting a war of steel, but one of words as well.”

Game Play:
Players take turns dividing items such as knights and archers, building materials for blacksmith shops and towers, special powers and even attackers. The attackers consist of dragons, orcs and battering rams that emerge from mountain passes into each player’s lands. After dividing, other players select the group of items they prefer and leave the remainder with the player who did the dividing. After that, players use special cards to interfere with each others plans. The last step each round is for players to setup defenses, destroy the attackers or laying siege on the orc strongholds scattered throughout Dragon Valley.

BT: Grasshopper GHR-7P Mech

 

 GHR-7P – Based on the GHR-7X, this Grasshopper variant uses a Torso Mounted Cockpit, Light Engine, and Improved Jump Jets as well. The Bloodhound Active Probe is also retained. The main difference is in the weapons mounted on the Grasshopper. Instead of Medium Pulse Lasers and Bombast Lasers, the GHR-7P carries a Large X-Pulse Laser and an ER Medium Laser in each arm while another ER Medium Laser fills the head.

 

 

 

 

BT: Blood Reaper Mech

The Blood Reaper was built around a pair of CC 6-Rack Advanced Tactical Missile Launchers, one per torso, which provided it with flexible multi-range firepower. At long range they were supported by a hard-hitting Type 22 ER PPC in each arm, while a pair of General Systems Heavy Medium Lasers offered enhanced close-range punch. A three ton ammo bay for each ATM launcher allowed the MechWarrior to carry two tons of each of three of the ATM missile types, ensuring maximum tactical flexibility in the field.

New for Black Powder Natal Native Contingent

BP: Natal Native Contingent

The NNC were auxiliary infantry recruited by the British from friendly natives who had settled in Natal and were mortal enemies of the threatening Zulus. They were organized along regular British lines, in companies, battalions and regiments.

A company of these troops would have 90 soldiers armed with traditional spear and shield with one in ten also toting a rifle of sometimes dubious provenance. They were led by European officers and NCOs who would use their Martini-Henry rifles and bayonets leaving the rank and file to tough it out in their traditional way.

The quality of the units varied – some were ineffective, many deserted but others fought well and were invaluable in scouting and in mopping up operations where they excelled in the pursuit.

They distinguished themselves from the Zulus by the simple expedient of a red rag tied around their heads or arms.

Panzer Clash Starter Pack

$ 17.99 SRP

Panzer Clash is a light, card-based war game for two Players about Second World War Panzer battles. With the Starter Pack you get all you need to start playing right away: Two player decks, one Axis and one Allies Deck, as well as a Terrain Deck. Pick either side and try to defeat your opponent on the battlefield. The player decks contain Factories, Units, Events and Terrain Modifiers. The players randomly pick 20 Terrain Cards laying them face down in a 4 X 5 grid on which their unit cards will move. Factories are needed to build Units and Terrain Modifiers as well as to power Events. Units and Events, which belong to one or more of the four factions (Germans, Japanese, Americans and Soviets) are used to attack and deal damage to the opponent. These have certain beneficial effects on the game or are used to weaken the opponent. For each point of damage a Player receives through Units and Events, one card from the deck is put into the discard-pile. If a player is unable to draw a card from the Supply, that player loses immediately. So take up the challenge, be a Panzer General and vie for ultimate domination on the battlefields of World War 2 . Contents: 120 cards One 50 cards Axis Deck One 50 cards Allies Deck One 20 cards Terrain Deck One Rules Booklet
