Wilmington, NC, 10 December 2012
Shrapnel Games wants to bring you twenty-two days of Christmas
that includes Sherman Tanks, radar screens, wooden ships, and
dungeons galore! That's right, our sale runs from December 10th
through December 31st!
Every game currently available at Shrapnel Games is on sale,
from grand strategy to role-playing to the serious military
simulations of ProSim. Buy for yourself or for someone else. Enjoy
the very best in independent strategy gaming. Check out just what
you can own this holiday season...
Air Assault Task Force ($34.95): Modern day real-time simulation
of airmobile operations spanning four decades of modern warfare,
highlighting three pivotal battles.
Air Command 3.0 ($31.95): Proving that not every strategy game
has to be one of conquest, Air Command 3.0 is a cunning game of air
traffic. Featuring real world airports and all the problems faced
by actual air traffic controllers, this is a game playable in quick
bites and featuring metric tons of replayability.
ATF: Armored Task Force ($22.95): Bring forth the heavy metal
thunder and smite your enemies using 120mm bolts. A ProSIM
simulation focusing on land combat around the world. A great survey
sim and as with all ProSIM titles features real world maps,
realistic results, and full control of how one plays.
Battle Group Commander ($10.95): A microgame featuring all the
expansive details you come to expect from a ProSIM product but at a
tiny price. Featuring a mini-campaign and multiplayer capabilities,
lead the fight against the Russians using your Brits. Fully
compatible with other ProSIM titles and a great introduction to
their world.
BCT Commander ($14.95): The predecessor to ATF: Armored Task
Force and Air Assault Task Force, combined arms warfare at a
brigade/regimental level. If you like tanks, and brigades, then BCT
Commander is your game.
Bronze ($24.95): Ancient conquest via the path of the Eurogame.
Easy to learn, hard to master gameplay wrapped up in a crunchy soft
shell of historical goodness, Bronze is the model for a computer
game enjoyable from ages 8 until 80. Look for the licensed board
game from Spiral Galaxy Games UK in 2012.
The Falklands War: 1982 ($34.95): ProSIM does historical. Not
many games have tackled the Falklands War. Focusing on the ground
actions this is a perfect example of the flexibility of the ProSIM
engine. Instead of commanding platoons of tanks players command
platoons of infantry, with fidelity right down to individual
bayonet charges.
Raging Tiger: The Second Korean War ($34.95): The next potential
war in Korea featuring an exciting mixture of scenarios providing
players with numerous challenges. As with other ProSIM products,
Raging Tiger is compatible with other ProSIM titles.
Salvo! ($34.95): Crush your enemies on the high seas through the
joyous use of iron spheres of destruction. Encompassing the Age of
Fighting Sail and featuring three centuries of nautical mayhem,
Salvo! does everything from duels to entire fleet engagements. As
WinSPWW2 is to tactical WW2 computer wargaming, Salvo! is to naval
wargaming.
Scallywag: In the Lair of the Medusa ($21.95): A mixture of
dungeon creation kit and dungeon crawling, Scallywag allows gamers
to play the Rogue-like single player action RPG or craft their own
games using basic Windows applications. The standard game features
plenty of nifty ideas, such as the importance of light, and boasts
an impressive number of levels. Modding Scallywag is super easy,
allowing gamers to change the game in minutes.
Space HoRSE ($22.95): Inspired by the all-time classic,
M.U.L.E., this is a non-violent game of space economics playable
with up to four players at one computer.
The Star and the Crescent ($34.95): Arab-Israeli conflicts, both
historical and hypothetical. Lots of armor action, along with
highly detailed close air support and air defense mechanics makes
The Star and the Crescent a terrific title for the modern
wargamer.
Total Eclipse ($3.95 to $6.95): Total Eclipse is not a single
RPG experience, but an open ended RPG system created to allow
gamers to experience a rich variety of settings based around a
single set of rules. This is pen & paper tabletop gaming at its
finest!
War Plan Pacific ($33.95): It’s six P.M. and you just got
home from work. You could veg out and watch some TV or you could
refight the entire war in the Pacific and still be in bed before
Dave’s Top Ten list. Impossible, you say? War Plan Pacific is
the grand strategy title you’ve been waiting for,
historically accurate and yet playable with broad strokes in a
single session.
winSPWW2 and winSPMBT Enhanced Editions ($34.95 each): Hexes and
tanks! This is old school wargaming at its finest, featuring
literally thousands of hours of gameplay. Between the two games
you’ll be able to play any scenario you can think of from the
early 1930s until the 2020s.
World Supremacy ($24.95): This land is my land…that land
is my land…in fact, it’s all my land. Experience your
manifest destiny at conquering the planet one territory at a time
with World Supremacy. Diplomacy and gift giving is replaced with
heavy armor and thermonuclear warheads.
