• In the Nations at War system, use new Long-Range Desert Group units in a Desert Heat scenario on the raid on Barce, Libya, and a new formation of German motorcycle infantry in a White Star Rising/Operation Cobra scenario.
• Nothing is certain in the World at War system. In “Entente Cordiale”, British Royal Lancers from Blood & Bridges standoff against an ornery French recon formation from Paris is Burning at the Rue Jean Jaures Bridge. How will the French react?
• The All Things Zombie scenario “Good Fences, Good Neighbors” will remind you that zombies aren’t the only nasty thing out there.
