 Conquest of the Empire[FRD 101010N] Miscellaneous
Do you have what it takes to become the next Emperor of Rome?
It is the 2nd century AD and the 200-year Pax Romana of Augustus Caesar has come to an end. With the death of the Philosopher-Scholar Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Empire is without a competent leader. Disorder reigns and civil war looms. Mars will be pleased. It is a time for war. It is a time for Conquest of the Empire!
Over 300 historically accurate, professionally sculpted miniatures are included in this detailed board game. Plus, Conquest of the Empire is really two games for the price of one! Included in every box are rules for both the original classic game, as well as all new advanced rules that give the game additional depth and strategy! |
 Attack![FRD 101004N] Miscellaneous
There are many games that allow a player to conquer the world, but Attack! is one of the most enjoyable. The components are tremendous, the game plays quickly and easily, and those who love playing light war games with hundreds of figures will have a blast! Fans of Risk who find it too unpredictable and random will enjoy the additions of different troop types and the clever, excellent combat system. The plastic units, cards, and board add a nice pre-World War II period flavor to the game, and the different abilities of the units make different strategies possible. The trading of the resources adds a bit of negotiation to the game, and the ship battles are unique and interesting. An expansion adds more complexity and options, but the basic game is simple and will meet the casual gamer's needs.
Attack! (along with the expansion) sets the new standard for games of world conquest. Attack! raises the bar on quality for graphics, miniatures, and simple, but elegant gameplay.
Features:
* Hundreds of professionally sculpted miniatures (Tanks, Planes, Artillery, and Infantry)
* Exciting World War 2 theme
* Easy to learn rules; Deep gameplay
* Expandable system
* 2-4 players
* Dazzling artwork by world-renowned artist Paul E. Niemeyer

Gentlemen, you have fought like lions and been led by donkeys.
Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, after the fall of Tobruk
On the day war broke out, few nations imagined they would soon be forced to conduct land warfare outside of Europe. As a result, when the war reached North Africa, both men and machines were ill-prepared for the harsh demands of a desert campaign.

They trade freely, expand their village, and so achieve new levels of civilization. With a balance of luck and planning, the players compete for food in this pre-historic time.
Risk and grow as your ancestors did. Only then the victory ring sings to you!

 Axis & Allies Pacific[WOC 41388] Wizards of the Coast
December 7, 1941
Japan's great fleet is poised to launch the most infamous surprise attack in history. Their target--the American Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In the weeks to come, more humiliating losses will add to the sting of Allied defeats--Hong Kong, Malaya, the Philippines, Java.
Axis and Allies: Pacific invites you to determine the future of the Pacific! How will the Americans respond to Japan's onslaught? Counterattack or careful rebuilding? Will they battle their way across the ocean island by island, or try striking directly at the heart of the Japanese empire? With the rich resources of the East Indies under its control, Japan could become unbeatable. Don't overlook China and Burma; your enemy certainly won't.
Naval strategy and wise economic moves are both critical in waging this far-flung war across an entire hemisphere. To the familiar elements from Axis & Allies, Axis & Allies: Pacific adds convoys, island air and naval bases, kamikazes, destroyers, and the Chinese army. You also get almost 350 playing pieces representing the actual tanks, planes, and ships involved, not just generic bombers and aircraft carriers!
The fate of the Pacific is in your hands. Good luck!
Includes 335 historically accurate weapons and game pieces!
