The Luftwaffe’s ‘Eagle Attack’

Reducing Japan’s great island fortress

Battle of Britain 1940

Rabaul 1943–44

Author: Doug Dildy Illustrator: Graham Turner Available: January 2018 ISBN: 9781472820570 Period: World War II

Author: Mark Lardas Illustrator: Mark Postlethwaite Available: January 2018 ISBN: 9781472822444 Period: World War II

The Battle of Britain was one of the most iconic campaigns of World War II, where the ‘Few’ of the Royal Air Force took on the might of the German Luftwaffe. While most narratives of the battle focus on the brave pilots of Fighter Command, this book tells it from the perspective of the German strategists as they attempted the clear the skies over Britain.

In 1942, the massive Japanese naval base and airfield at Rabaul was a fortress standing in the Allies’ path to Tokyo. It was impossible to seize Rabaul, or starve the 100,000-strong garrison out. This is the fascinating story of how Allied air power took the great Japanese base out of the Pacific War with an innovative strategy of aerial siege, backed by the courage and capability of the pilots who flew against the heavily fortified island.

The Ghost Archipelago has returned. A vast island chain, covered with the ruins of ancient civilizations, the Archipelago appears every few centuries, far out in the southern ocean. At such times, pirates, adventurers, wizards, and heroes all descend upon the islands in the hopes of finding lost treasures and powerful artefacts. A few, drawn by the blood of their

ancestors, search for the fabled Crystal Pool, whose waters grant abilities far beyond those of normal men. It is only the bravest, however, who venture into the islands, for they are filled with deadly threats. Cannibal tribes, sorcerous serpent-men, and poisonous beasts all inhabit the island ruins, guarding their treasure hordes and setting traps for the unwary. In this new wargame, set in the world of Frostgrave, players take on the role of Heritors, mighty warriors whose ancestors drank from the Crystal Pool. These Heritors lead their small, handpicked teams of spellcasters, rogues, and treasure hunters into the ever-shifting labyrinth of the Ghost Archipelago.

Dracula’s America: Shadows of the West is a skirmish game of Gothic horror set in an alternate Old West. Secret wars rage across the country – from bustling boom-towns to the most remote wilderness – as cults and secret societies fight for power and survival. Players will throw their support behind one of these factions, and will lead a Posse of up to a dozen individual models in fast-paced, cinematic battles for dominance and survival.

30-45

Everybody works for the Star Cartel, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make a few creds on the side! The largest cut will go to the Cartel, but there’s plenty of money to be made elsewhere. Clever strategists will inflate the value of a resource they have stockpiled, but if they push too far the price will collapse, and they’ll be left with nothing but junk. Upgrade your ship, stash your contraband, and hope you can cash out before the market collapses.

The best education in the entire kingdom is found in The Sun Palace Academy for the Daughters of Nobility, or as the locals call it, Princess Hero School! You are the newest recruits to the Academy, who will spend the next four years in training to be the best young women you can be. Win the dance contest, befriend spooky ghosts, fight street gangs, or just get to class on time. Gain different bonuses as your personality grows, survive weird events like a message from the future, and find priceless treasure like the sword of dragon-slaying or a cute dog. Sometimes you’ll want your friends’ help, and sometimes you’ll go it alone as you level up your character towards graduation. Will you be a brave knight, a rich merchant, or a charming rogue? Or will you be the Queen?

From acclaimed designer Martin Wallace and the team at Osprey Games comes London: Second Edition. After the devastation of the Great Fire, many competing architects and developers want to see their vision for the city realised. Will you combat poverty and unemployment, build iconic monuments as a testament to your ingenuity, or simply line your pockets through trade and industry? Grow your city through the decades, as you vie to become an icon of London. This new edition features revised rules and cards to provide more streamlined play for two players.
