What collection of gaming systems

What collection of gaming systems would be complete without a foray into the American Civil War? LMW Works and author Scott Monsour capture the battles that marked the bloodiest conflict in American history in Rally 'Round the Flag. This fast paced, easy-to-grasp game system teaches authentic military strategies used by the North and the South between the years 1861 and 1865.

Gamers can recreate modern and futuristic warfare with three LMW Works' titles: Panzer Truppe (by Chris Pagano), Snipers! Duck, Dodge, & Shoot (by James Birdseye), and Hyperspace Hack (by Russ Lockwood). In Panzer Truppe, gamers can recreate the legendary tank battles that marked World War II as the first truly technological war. Snipers! Duck, Dodge, & Shoot places gamers in the rugged Italian countryside to fend off encroaching German forces. Part of the challenge is trying to engage troops under brutal weather conditions and conducting skirmishes in formidable Apennine Mountains. Hyperspace Hack looks to the future of aerial warfare by putting the gamer in charge of an armada of 50 or more interstellar fighters, complete with three-sided battles, crew promotions, and planet-killing lasers!
