New Dystopian Wars Figures - Prussian

Coming in July

SGCDWPE09
DW: Prussian Empire Wachter Escort (6)
$9.99 SRP

While most escorts are intended to provide anti-aircraft protection or concussion charge protection, the Wachter is actually designed to protect vessels in one simple way: hurt the enemy!

SGCDWPE10
DW: Purssian Empire Stolz Destroyer (3)
$11.49 SRP

Although its fore guns are a fixed channel, they are a Primary weapon and at Range Band 1 kick out 6AD of hurt to an enemy. Like other Destroyers these vessels have the Pack Hunters MAR, making a squadron of 4 models rather nasty.

SGCDWPE11
DW: Prussian Empire Blucher Dreadnought
$23.49 SRP

Gebhard Leberecht von Blucher was a famous Prussian Generalfeldmarschall (Field Marshall) who was known for his rather direct military tactics. 'On it like Blucher' is a term synonymous in the Prussian military for taking the fight to the enemy. The designers behind this Dreadnought certainly took this to heart. FOUR powerful Primary turrets rain death on enemy targets and row after row of Tesla Coils rip into enemy vessels.

SGCDWPE22
DW: Prussian Empire A9-V Sturmpanzer
$21.49 SRP

The Sturmpanzer has become rightly feared across the battlefields of the world. It has a fearsome array of turrets and is armed to the teeth with Tesla coils. Sturmpanzers are at the forefront of every assault and form the heart of every defense.

SGCDWPE23
DW:Prussian Empire A6-V Medium Tank(6)
$11.49 SRP

The A6-V has flexible arcs of fire to take advantage of individual and linked fire. It also carries a sizeable complement of rocket marines. A full squadron of A6-Vs can pose an ever present threat of a massed boarding assault.

SGCDWPE24
DW: Prussian B3-S Medium Bombard (6)
$11.49 SRP

The B3-S fills a close support role in Prussian armies. They follow behind the first wave of tanks laying down a heavy shifting bombardment.

SGCDWPE25
DW: Prussian Walze Class Small Tank (20)
$11.49 SRP

The Walze is an efficient scout tank, often deployed in large squadrons. With its fore guns and Tesla coils it is able to look after itself in a fire fight.

New Dystopian Wars Figures - Britannia

Coming in July

SGCDWKB09
DW: Britannia Bastion Escort (6)
$9.99 SRP

Anti-Aircraft is the role of the Bastion Class Escort. This small and nimble vessel is designed to protect the larger vessels, such as the Ruler Class Battleship, from incoming aerial assaults.

SGCDWKB10
DW: Britannia Orion Destroyer (3)
$11.49 SRP

Britannia Destroyers are, like all ships of this class in Dystopian Wars, Pack Hunters. That is to say they have a special MAR rule that allows them to hunt down larger vessels and destroy them. The Orion has a single fore turret with a 270 degree arc of fire and fore torpedoes. It can be deployed in a squadron of 2 to 4 models.

SGCDWKB11
DW: Britannia Majesty Dreadnought
$23.49 SRP

The Majesty Class is a sight to behold when steaming towards the enemy, its SIX Primary turrets coming to bear on enemy targets. Defensively the model can have up to TWO Shield Generators, which can be added without losing any turrets. Although relatively costly at 230 points (270 points with its two shield generators), the Majesty is a fine addition to any Naval Fleet.

SGCDWKB22
DW: Britannia Sovereign Class Land Ship
$21.49 SRP

The Sovereign is the utility workhorse of the Britannian land armies, and is a common sight across the world. As well as performing logistical functions it is very versatile, with different models of the same design having either turrets, mortars or a headquarters.

SGCDWKB23
DW: Britannia MKII Medium Class Tank (6)
$11.49 SRP

The MKII has plenty of firepower in three arcs giving it lots of options and no fear of being surrounded. A well positioned squadron of MKIIs can hold ground and threaten multiple enemies, linking their fire when necessary to take down targets of a larger class.

SGCDWKB24
DW: Britannia Cromwell Class Bombard (6)
$11.49 SRP

The Cromwell is a bunker buster of a tank. Although rigged for indirect fire it has been used extensively on the battlefield as a close range battle tank.

SGCDWKB25
DW: Britannia Terrier Small Tank (20)
$11.49 SRP

The Terrier is fast and agile, usually deployed in large numbers as a screen. In a combined attack a full squadron is a threat to most targets.




New Dystopian Wars Figures - FSA

Coming in July

SGCDWFS09
DW: FSA Springfield Class Escort (6)
$9.99 SRP

The Springfield is intended to escort and protect larger vessels from aerial attacks. With a low points cost and an AA rating of 3, the vessel is a well priced addition to a Dreadnought, Carrier or Battleship.

SGCDWFS10
DW: FSA Guilford Class Destroyer (3)
$11.49 SRP

Although its fore guns are not the most powerful, the Guilford does make up for this with port and starboard Rocket Batteries that are effective out to Range Band 3. As with other Destroyers in the game, up to 4 can be used in a squadron and the Pack Hunters MAR makes them fairly lethal.

SGCDWFS11
DW: FSA Enterprise Class Dreadnought
$23.49 SRP

The Enterprise Class is, quite literally, a floating platform of death. It can slam an enemy with its THREE Primary turrets, rain down destruction from above with its Rocket Batteries and, with a plethora of anti-aircraft batteries and concussion charge stations, defend itself rather well. The model is well worth its 240 points.

SGCDWFS22
DW: FSA Washington Class Land Ship
$21.49 SRP

The Washington is one of very few aquatic tanks having been developed by the FSA to support amphibious landings. Its dual use and potent firepower make it a dangerous asset on the battlefield, while the high profile of its headquarters makes it a rallying point.

SGCDWFS23
DW: FSA Trenton Class Medium Tank (6)
$11.49 SRP

The Trenton has powerful forward and aft batteries. A squadron of Trentons is adept at close formation manoeuvres, so that multiple squadrons of Trentons can maintain clear arcs of fire to the front while remaining a danger to enemies that pierce their rear lines.

SGCDWFS24
DW: FSA Yorktown Class Bombard (6)
$11.49 SRP

The Yorktown provides essential artillery support to FSA formations. It can lay down destructive strikes from the rear, and has the added feature of firing either forward or backward.

SGCDWFS25
DW: FSA Pioneer Class Small Tank (20)
$11.49 SRP

The Pioneer is a tough little tank. It combines direct firepower with improved anti-aircraft capability, and in a full squadron can threaten most flyers.

New Dystopian Wars Figures - Blazing Sun

Coming in July
SGCDWBS09
DW: Blazing Sun Kitsune Class Escort (6)
$9.99 SRP

After the demise of the Battleship Hideyoshi to an aerial attack of Chinese Federation bombers, where the vessel had been left unprotected during a naval engagement, the Blazing Sun military vowed to never make this mistake again. The Kitsune is designed to provide a low cost AA defense for the likes of Carriers, Battleships and Dreadnoughts.


SGCDWBS10
DW: Blazing Sun Yurgi Destroyer (3)
$11.49 SRP

Rockets, rockets and more rockets. You can hear the engineers of this destroyer howling for more ranged weaponry. As with other ships of this class the Pack Hunters MAR is in play, and a full squadron of 4 Yurgis is a sight to behold as all the Rocket Batteries let loose.


SGCDWBS11
DW: Blazing Sun Hachiman Dreadnought
$23.49 SRP

With three of the world's most powerful naval turrets attached to its hull, the Hachiman can target an enemy in Range Band 1 with 25 dice, hit targets in its fore arc with as many as 7AD of torpedoes and shoot out up to 9AD of Rocket Batteries at Range Band 4. Don't get too close or an AP of 12 will cost you your crew (and ship!) and an AA of 8 helps protect the vessel from aerial attacks. The Hachiman is a powerful all round vessel.

SGCDWBS22
DW: Blazing Sun Taka Ishi Heavy Walker
$21.49 SRP

The Taka Ishi represents an alternate advance in the design of battlefield assets. With its mere size it presents an intimidating target and is a beast in urban combat. It has great all round fire with its knee turrets, main turret and rocket battery.

SGCDWBS23
DW: Blazing Sun Chi Ri Medium Tank (6)
$11.49 SRP

The Chi Ri has a durable chassis and a wide firing arc with its turret and broadsides. It also has a good anti-aircraft ability for its class.

SGCDWBS24
DW: Blazing Sun Ho I Class Bombard (6)
$11.49 SRP

The Ho I is more than capable of bombarding enemy vehicles and fortifications with sustained fire at both short and long range. It can also fire into either the fore or aft arcs.

SGCDWBS25
DW: Blazing Sun Ke Ho Small Tank (20)
$11.49 SRP

The Ke Ho has a straightforward design (even if it is round!) and can take a fair amount of punishment for its size. A squadron of Ke Hos can be quite a threat to ground and air targets alike.

Artus
$34.95 SRP


2-4 Players
Ages 13+
45-75 Minutes

The players lead a group of Knights at King Arthur’s court. They try to continuously increase their group’s prestige by placing as close behind the King at the round table as possible as well as by completing various assignments. But be careful! Those who don’t react quickly enough will soon find their fortunes turning and their Knights back on undesirable seats around the round table again. That can cost a lot of prestige. Since the King keeps changing positions during the game, and since a new King is crowned from time to time, the players are forced to always keep repositioning their Knights around the round table. Let the competition for the best seats begin! The winner is the player with the most prestige points at the end of the game.

PLE89400
Magicians Kitchen
$30.00 SRP

Kaboom! A colorful cloud of smoke billows out of the cauldron in the old Magician's Kitchen, where the magician's little apprentices are learning the art of cooking up magic potions.

Each ingredient must be tossed carefully into the pot, but hidden areas in the board may trip you, causing your ingredients to go flying. Make sure you don't stumble, or the potion will be ruined! Once all of the ingredients are in place, it's time to light a fire under the cauldron for the final test to see who can make the potion fastest! Leg of toad and stumbling curse, which of you will be the first?

Magician's Kitchen is the magical game of skill with surprises around every turn!

PLE89200

It is Leo Longtooth's job to watch over the sleeping vampire children in the castle's basement, and he must protect them from the horrible stench in the air. Can you help Leo clear the smelly garlic out of the ruins?

With the help of the little glowing bat, you can magically clear the garlic out of the castle without touching it! Be careful, though - if the garlic falls through the cracks in the floor, it will spread its nasty smells into the basement where the vampire children sleep.

Have fun playing Vampires of the Night in the light, in the twilight, or even in the dark with this unique glow in the dark 3-dimensional board!

If you manage to throw or bounce your ball into an opponent's cup, they must draw a penalty card and perform the task shown on it: call one player "Master", sing "I'm a Little Teapot", admit to a lie you've told to someone. Good times – and a bit of after-game penance - await!

PLE18300
Herding Cats

Beware of the Stampeded Card that will send the cats running to score points for other players, and look out for the Wild Cat Lady, who may be able to help you out, if you're in a pinch.

This silly card game will delight the whole family and show that while Herding Cars is fun, it's no easy task!

New Age of Steam Expansion

Coming in July

Age of Steam Exp - Moon/Berlin Wall
$24.99 SRP

The Age of Steam: Moon Expansion is an extremely challenging map set on the Moon where half the cities are always black and the track can be built off one side of the board, only to appear on the opposite side.

The Berlin Wall Expansion, meanwhile, takes Age of Steam back to the era of the Cold War and the divided city of Berlin. Troop garrisons impede goods movement for much of the game, and the wall also presents an imposing obstacle. Of course, the fall of the wall in 1989 changes everything.

MNIVF100
Venture Forth
$49.99 SRP

2-4 Players
Ages 13+
60 Minutes

Across the realm, ordinary souls are longing for their dreams. Some seek wealth or power, others seek knowledge, but all pursue their own personal quest. Guiding your party, you populate a fantasy world with adventurers and enemies, recruit new companions, and venture forth out into the world of adventure! 

This is a EURO-Style game with an Adventure theme. Collect WILL and complete life goals for your characters to gain victory points.
In Venture Forth, players have a party of adventurers who each have their own personal ambition. Achieving an ambition allows the player to convert that adventurer's "will" into points and to possibly level him up. All ambitions require the player to venture forth, which means moving his party from one site to another along a path. One of the main actions in the game is playing an enemy or adventurer card to these path spaces. Once a path is completely filled in, any player can choose to venture forth down it and encounter each card one by one, recruiting adventurers, defeating enemies, and possibly gaining treasure along the way. A combination of resource management, path planning, and timing will help you along the way.
