Central and Eastern Europe had emerged from dictatorships and wanted to consolidate their democracies. They sought European integration to ensure they would not fall back into the Russian sphere of influence. Russia - a shell of its former power as the Soviet Union - could do nothing to slow the European expansion. But then things changed. Oil prices increased, bolstering Russia's economy. Putin came to power, and despite political discontent in Russia, his popularity remained strong. In 2008, war broke out between Russia and the NATO-aspirant, former Soviet country of Georgia. Russia's resurgence had begun, exemplified by the 2014 annexation of Crimea and invasion of eastern Ukraine. In the game, you control of one of the two powers: Europe (controlling both NATO and the European Union) or Russia. Europe is powerful and rich, but bureaucratic and slow to react. Russia lacks Europe's resources, but can respond rapidly. Players score victory points by having dominant influence in contested countries in Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Caucasus. They can also score victory points by bringing key historical events to fruition. Gameplay is rich with history and includes today's potential flashpoints, but it features a fast-playing card-driven core mechanism. Players use cards associated with countries they control to establish political and military influence, gain financial resources, and deploy their military presence. An elegant deck-manipulation mechanism weakens players' decks as they increase their influence, creating tension between seeking to expand and overreaching. Will the Velvet Revolution result in the split of the Czech Republic and Slovakia? How will the Bosnian War end?

Hovering in the waiting room sit other issues and personages who are waiting their turn to make their case to meet regional aspirations such as self-determination.

At Casablanca (January 14-24, 1943), Roosevelt and Churchill agreed the next target: Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily, would begin July 9 1943 - but there was a problem. The Axis powers suspected Sicily would be the target, and knew there were deception activities in motion to attempt to mislead them about what they already knew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of this, with Operation Husky already planned for early July, there was little time for Allied intelligence to work with. In these six months, Allied intelligence had to create sufficient disinformation to persuade their intelligence counterparts, the Abwehr, that the primary attack and a suspected secondary attack would be aimed elsewhere within the Mediterranean. This essential intelligence operation was dubbed \"Operation Barclay\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperation Barclay puts players in the shoes of competing military intelligence directors who are attempting to mask or learn the truth about the Allied invasion plans for 1943.

Every evidence token the LCS player wins prevents another tile from being revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo win evidence tokens, players build hands of five cards to take tricks, similar to poker. While having the best hand will secure two evidence tokens, correctly betting after each player reveals the first three cards of each hand on who will have the best five-card hand is worth three evidence tokens. Thus, getting and bluffing and seeding disinformation is more important than being lucky with a card draw. In addition, each player competes for another evidence token by having the most raid or reconnaissance icons on their cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurther, players have ways to manipulate the decks from which they draw.

This set of traits gets bonuses and penalties depending on the ongoing situation and combat engagements. Units also have their unique set of skills to represent specific abilities they can perform: from defensive formations to extremely effective techniques to attack enemies. Some of these skills need to be activated; meaning only one of them can be used in an engagement, while others are inherent to the units. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeadership is represented in the game by the figure of the General.

Wealthy kingdoms beyond the Vindhya range and deep into the Deccan plateau have caught the eyes of Delhi for generations, and governors have been sent out to the southern provinces to impose the Sultan’s demands of tribute. The Sultan’s quest for riches comes with some urgency; ever-looming is the threat of Mongol incursions from the northwestern frontier, requiring the continual purchase of foreign war-horses from Central Asia and the payment of troops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut grand schemes of foreign conquest, currency blunders, and a disastrous attempt to move the capital from Delhi to Devagiri are laying bare its weaknesses under Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq. Rebellions are starting to spread throughout the south in the Deccan, to the west in Gujarat, and to the east in Bengal. Desperately needed tributary payments are falling into arrears, requiring forceful reminders from a royal army which is expensive to maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1347 with the Sultanate’s might subsiding, two independent kingdoms have formed on opposite sides of the Krishna river in the Deccan plateau. Once-loyal governors forced by the Sultan to relocate from Delhi have conspired to form an independent Sultanate, the Bahmani Kingdom. Further south, the Sangama brothers have rallied Rajas across the land and founded the Vijayanagara Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the oppressive tribute demands from Delhi have been cast aside, there remain fierce contests for important economic hubs, Goa and other port cities to the west, and the lush, fertile Raichur Doab between the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers. Nayakas, warrior kings emerging from the embers of the Kakatiya dynasty, are aiding the Bahmani Kingdom in some contests of power and the Vijayanagara Empire in others. But the Sultanate may still have the power to reassert its control in this region, if it can balance its many pressing challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe survival of each upstart kingdom will depend on its origin stories becoming infused with cult mythologies present in the region for centuries. One such origin story, the myth of the “Hare and the Hounds,” is even shared by both the Bahmani and Vijayanagara kingdoms. The narratives which are emerging from these early steps away from the Delhi Sultanate’s grasp, the foundational myths of these regional rivals, are beginning to spread throughout the land and into the spoken history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Factions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Delhi Sultanate - “A totalitarian regime nears its twilight”\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Sultanate player must confront the constant threat of the Mongols, who are amassing in the mountains, advancing closer to Delhi, and plundering along the way, while strategically ceding control in some provinces and reasserting it elsewhere in a rebellious south.

Some of Delhi’s governors are exploiting their autonomy and distance from Delhi. Many will go on to rebel— ruling small kingdoms with their own armies, they will form or join the Bahmanis. Leaning on a network of other elite nobles and governors, they will conspire and simultaneously declare an entire Province to be an independent state, cutting off the tribute to Delhi completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bahmani player will spread its Foundational Myths, growing its potential pool of allies, including other governors and Rajas who now see the wind blowing towards an ascendant Bahmani Kingdom. They will enjoy the benefits of a growing culture, attract great minds from afar, construct powerful Forts, and exploit their substantial military advantages both against raids from Delhi to the north and their Vijayanagara rivals to the south.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vijayanagara Empire - “Lords of the Eastern and Western Oceans”\u003cbr\u003e\nWith the Delhi Sultanate receding from the southernmost reaches of the Indian subcontinent, Rajas further south see their own opportunity to form independent kingdoms and cast off their tributary relationship to Delhi. Like the Amirs to the north, the Rajas rule over small kingdoms and maintain their own armies, identifying one after another with the Vijayanagara Empire. And like the Amirs, the oppression of Delhi is motivating well-timed rebellions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVijayanagara’s assertion of authority is based on the weaving of its origin story into a variety of interconnected cult mythologies present in the region for centuries. The spread of these stories, aided by successes against rival powers, will attract the loyalty of powerful families like the Nayaka warrior kings. The Vijayanagara player will make key alliances with other Rajas and Nayakas in the region who will raise the Vijayanagara flag, and they will construct awe-inspiring temples which rise as great symbols of sovereignty, focal points which will enhance economic development and draw other Rajas into the fold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMongol Invaders - “A threat emerges from the mountain passes”\u003cbr\u003e\nA fourth non-player faction also features in the game: Mongol Invaders. The actions of the Mongols are guided through temporary strategic dialogues with the Bahmani Kingdom and Vijayanagara Empire, natural potential allies given their strong commercial presence in the Indian Ocean, and a shared enemy in Delhi. The Sultanate must contend not only with these Mongol raids and temporary alliances but also the eventual arrival of the legendary Turko-Mongol conqueror, Timur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe people of the adjoining districts all flocked into the fortress of Delhi, and the old fortifications had not yet been built up, so that such consternation among men has never been witnessed, nor even heard of; for all the inhabitants of the city both great and small were completely overpowered with terror. - Zia al-Din Barani, historian and political thinker (1285-1358), on the arrival of the Mongol hordes to Delhi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame components\u003cbr\u003e\n17x22” mounted mapboard\u003cbr\u003e\nOne Event Deck\u003cbr\u003e\nCard-Driven Solo-System Deck\u003cbr\u003e\n108 Wooden Pieces\u003cbr\u003e\n9 pawns\u003cbr\u003e\nOne half-size, full-color counter sheet\u003cbr\u003e\nThree foldout play aid sheets\u003cbr\u003e\nFour single page play aid sheets\u003cbr\u003e\nSix 6-sided dice\u003cbr\u003e\nRules of Play booklet\u003cbr\u003e\nPlaybook booklet\u003cbr\u003e\nLearn to Play booklet\u003cbr\u003e\nNon-player Rules booklet\u003cbr\u003e\nA 3\" box\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"ASMODEE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56048080748922,"sku":"ZBG-GMT2321","price":68.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Vijayanagara-The-Deccan-Empires-of-Medieval-India-1290-1398.jpg?v=1760976328"},{"product_id":"mythic-battles-ragnarok-base-game","title":"Mythic Battles: Ragnarok (Base Game)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMythic Battles is a 2 to 4 player legendary adventure serie, playable as a pure skirmish game leading by divinities, or as an epic saga comprised of numerous scenarios and campaigns.\u003cbr\u003e\nGlorious miniatures and stunning game boards set the scene, decks and dice decide the combat, and the draft mechanic ensures you field a mighty force, destined for glory and victory. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Mythic Battles: RagnarÃok, take control of Norse divinities and command their forces in the ultimate conflict While gods and mortals wage war on mighty giants and living dead, strange runes of fire materialize in the Nine Worlds.

One player controls the Western Allies and the other the Soviet Union in their joint effort to destroy the Axis.

To this end, each player controls two factions: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Western player commands the Western Allies faction and the OKH faction, that is the German and minor Axis armies battling the Soviet Union in the east (Oberkommando des Heeres).\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Soviet player commands the Soviet faction and the OKW faction, that is the German and Italian armies facing the Western allies in the west (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGameplay is driven by Downfall's innovative initiative track. The faction with the initiative chooses an order, pays its initiative cost by advancing their marker along the track, and performs the order. Then, the faction with the initiative (based on the updated positions of the markers) chooses the next order. There is no set sequence of play; initiative expenditures determine who goes next. The progress of faction markers along the track also trigger strategic events, changes in weather, and advancement of game turns. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrder chits include operational orders used to move units and initiate combat and general orders for recruitment, mechanization, partisan warfare, logistics, and strategic warfare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrategic event cards drive game mechanics such as air support, supply checks, reinforcements, upgrades, and the distribution of Action Cards. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAction cards represent capabilities unique to each faction and can be played to augment orders or gain advantages in combat. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownfall begins at the high-water mark of Axis expansion in November 1942 and ends in May 1945 at Germany's surrender.

With both players in command of factions on opposite fronts, each is constantly challenged to launch offensives and conduct desperate defenses.

Thousands of miles of coastline were devastated, but for Plum Island, a large albeit vulnerable atoll smack dab in the middle of the storm's path of destruction, it was a horrifying gray-green, apocalyptic nightmare. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlum Island is a sprawling isle off the Carolina coast and is home to the vibrant seaside town of Greenport. While the heart of the island's daily hustle and bustle lies in its commerce and tourism, the predominant employer and revenue generator for the island was housed in a huge complex of nondescript buildings located on the north end of the island. This mega-corporation was known locally as \"The Pearl,\" or more precisely, the Plum Island Research Laboratory (P.I.R.L.). It was an enormous facility run by scientists who conducted government-sponsored biological research and experimentation. All legal and ethical practices of course-or so we were told. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the hurricane's catastrophic cascade of water and wind abated, the island was crippled: all power was lost, there was much structural damage throughout, and the path to the mainland via the Great South Bay suspension bridge was rendered impassable. Due to a perfect confluence of unpredictable factors, the lab's super-secret and highly experimental cylinders ruptured. The entire facility was inundated with a horrific lethal mixture of chemicals resulting in the deaths and disfigurement of hundreds of personnel who were taking shelter from the storm within the main containment facilities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the true horror was yet to come-these \"deaths\" were only temporary incapacitations. The poor souls who succumbed to the toxins were somehow revived by the bizarre mixture of chemicals, returning to \"life\" as monstrously altered mutations. In retrospect, we refer to these reanimated creatures as \"Horrors\" because-well honestly, what else could we possibly call them? The Horrors almost instantaneously evolved into vicious killing abominations that overwhelmed the survivors located in and near the main P.I.R.L. complex.
