      WARGAME TERRAIN AND BUILDINGS: WWI Trench Systems

      From the initial choice between stand-alone pieces on a mat or a fixed, bespoke layout, through to final detailing, experienced modeler Hardy gives practical advice on building your own trench system. He considers the differences between British, German and French trenches, which differed in design and construction, as well as developments in defenses through the phases of the war. A trench system is not just the trench itself of course, but also the dugouts, barbed wire entanglements, sandbags, gun emplacements and pillboxes. Shell holes and shattered forests are also covered. Each element is explained in step-by-step detail, illustrated with numerous color photos and there are also reference photos of real trenches. Includes 250 color illustrations. $30.00

      GAMES …

      HEART OF DARKNESS: An Adventure Game of African Exploration

      This is a game of adventure and exploration set in the mid-19th century where you, together with up to four other players, venture into deepest Africa. Your journey is financed by a major newspaper and publisher back home, and they expect you to bring home fantastic stories that they can publish. Your expedition consists of you, armed askaris, and porters that carry food and gifts. There will be occasional local guides and goats to keep you company. The quest is to trek into what is unknown to you. You will interact with people that you meet, while searching for the myths and legends that are said to exist somewhere in Africa. To walk the land among people that might not appreciate your presence, to face hunger and predators, and to reveal what perhaps should remain hidden is dangerous.  $76.00
