 In 1835 Texas fought for independence from Mexico. The Mexican dictator, Santa Anna, responded in 1836 by recapturing the Alamo and overrunning much of Texas until he was captured at the battle of San Jacinto.  Texas Glory is a strategy game that brings this exciting period in history to life. Men like Houston, Austin, Crockett, and Bowie play key roles in the Texan struggle to defeat superior Mexican forces with a small but heroic army. The game is challenging and exciting for both players. The Mexicans have a powerful army but time and supply are their enemies. Intervention by U.S. forces can occur and the fierce Comanche are a threat to both sides.

 Richard the Third is an epic two-player game that recreates the 15th century, bloody dynastic struggle between the royal houses of Lancaster and York for the throne of England. Will the mad-king Henry VI and his Queen Margaret keep the throne or will the Duke of York recover it for the Plantagenets.

 Barbarossa: June 22, 1941, Germany invades the Soviet Union to begin a titanic four year struggle unmatched in military history. Test your strategic skills! Command the Soviet Red Army or the German Wehrmacht on the vast steppes of Russia. Replay the epic Barbarossa, Stalingrad, and Kursk campaigns. EastFront is part of a three game series: EastFront, WestFront, and EuroFront. The second editions include larger maps, more units, and seamless integration into EuroFront. 
Wooden blocks, called units, represent German corps and Axis minor armies (gray) and Soviet armies (red). A die-cut, adhesive label identifying a unit's type and strength must be attached to each block. Put tan labels on the red blocks, and gray or black labels on gray blocks. Units in play normally stand upright, with their labels facing the owning player. This provides simple yet elegant Fog of War in that players cannot see the type or strength of opposing units. The six basic unit-types are: Armor, Mechanized Infantry ("Mech"), Infantry, Shock, Cavalry, and Headquarters. As each unit-type has a fixed movement rate and firepower rating, these numbers are not shown on the label. The large numbers surrounding the unit symbol show the unit's strength, called Combat Value ("CV"). Units gain and lose strength in steps of 1cv. A unit's current strength is the number along its top edge when standing upright. GAME SCENARIOS For game purposes, the Eastern Front campaign is divided into scenarios, each covering a 6-month period of the war. A scenario can be played in a sitting (4-6 hours), and two or more scenarios can be joined for longer games. The winner of a scenario is determined by Victory Points (VPs), which are awarded for current Production Levels and HQ steps remaining in play, and subtracted for eliminated friendly units. Each scenario has a VP handicap which is added to or subtracted from Axis VPs, relating VP totals to historical results. GAME TURNS A month consists of a Production segment followed by two Fortnights of play. Production involves adding replacement steps to units in play, and rebuilding destroyed units into 1cv units, or cadres. Control of economic objectives on the map yields Production Points, which are used to "pay" for these builds. Both players perform production simultaneously. A Fortnight consists of two alternate Player-Turns. The Axis take the first Player-Turn in Dry and Mud weather. The Soviets take the first Player-Turn in Snow weather. The player taking the current Player-Turn is called the Active Player (the other player is Passive). A Player-Turn usually begins by activating one or more HQ units. Each activated HQ, depending on its current strength, exerts command over all units within a Command Range of 0-3 hexes, enabling these units to move.
Weather exerts a considerable influence in the game, affecting unit speeds and turn sequence. Mud and Snow weather also alter some terrain, further affecting movement and combat, and can reduce the command range of HQs. During most months the weather is known, but during Spring and Fall it is unpredictable and determined by die roll.
