Lost to Antiquity, The Royal Game of Ur is the oldest game known to man. Unfortunately the rules are not! Protege Ben has undertaken the task of creating a rules basis for this ancient game that makes it a fun and challenging 21st Century game. That would be the 21st Century AD.

An exciting new combat system for this Columbia Games Classic. Included in this Game Kit are a colorful battle board, combat command cards, an Excel spreadsheet for writing simultaneous commands, and the new rules for tactical combat. This Game Kit definately adds some spice to this introductory level game.
Part II of this Game Kit offers a brand new simultaneous command methodology using cards instead of written orders. It's much more attractive, less paper intenseive, and fun.

Bring this old Avalon Hill classic back to life with a set of new more colorful and functional counters. Missle units are more readily identifiable with these new playing pieces, as are units with a charge bonus. And the new color schemes give a lot better feel of the composition of the opposing armies.

Rev A, updated 2019 - revised errata (the circular river really is there; well.... sortof). Additional "corrections" (???) to the CRT, a new Battle Value calculation option (you'll like it), AND a complete percentage loss table. Now 40% of 5 really is "2", and 5% of 1 really does round down to "0". Should make for some more challenging battles.
SPI (and then Avalon Hill) produced one of the greatest wargames of all times with this one. This Game Kit provides a scoresheet for victory points, some errata, and a new Honors of War system that is more suited for solitaire play. |

This Game Kit offers a bunch of neat stuff for this SPI game on naval combat during the Napoleonic era. Optional rules cover additional fire modifiers, melee combat, wind changes and crew abandonment. But that's not all; you also get a new scoresheet for keeping track of hits, and numerous player aide charts covering all the rules that were never put into chart form.

A new version of Avalon Hill's all time classic "Waterloo". This Game Kit is a total new re-write with the emphasis on not changing a thing. What that means is the feel of the original version is preserved while being brought up to more contemporary wargame standards. New rules cover night time game turns, variable reinforcement arrival, road bonus, new stacking rules, overrun attacks, leaders - command, communication and control, special rules for cavalry and artillery, and a new optional set-up rule.

War & Peace was a novel that had to be written. "War & Peace" was a game that had to be made. Avalon Hill did the latter - unfortunately not very well. This Game Kit corrects that situation. MASSIVE corrections, errata, clarifications and even some new optional rules for the combat matrix system are included.

Santa Anna verses the Italian Frogmen or Winfield Scott verses La Mosquito
This theme game produced by SPI in Strategy & Tactics magazine years ago is a little known gem. The game system is very unique (hence the "Italian Frogmen" reference), but does an outstanding job of portraying this interesting and little known campaign from American history. Our Game Kit here presents some advice on strategies to be used by both sides, as well as a suggestion to correct (in our humble opinion) a few of the little gliches in the game system.

Columbia Games masterpiece on the Anglican's Crusades in the Holy Lands. Very little could be done to improve this one, BUT.... we did add some goodies; 2 Battle Boards, one for conventional battles and one for Castle battles. Plus some extra markers that can be used to show which side used which road, half-hit markers and castle board markers for indicating which units are inside castles and which are outside.

Strategy & Tactics, the later years, produced this interesting representation of the Taiping Rebellion in China in the mid-nineteenth century (while most of us were paying attention to the American Civil War). A unique game and one worth your playing, at least once or twice, if you can find it. If you do, you will need some extra counters and a scorecard will come in handy. Here they are.

Simmons Game's Masterpiece! What an excellent game system, and a beautiful game at that. How could we dare mess with it? The no-luck combat system is brilliant. But we decided to add an element of variability to the combat system, without introducing a luck factor. Corps Commander battle cards does the trick. And, as a bonus, adds a bit more historical flavour to the game.

Talk about your Greek Tragedies! Five and one third pages of rules, 200 pages of FAQs. Columbia Games created a good game, but the rules are atrocious. So, we re-wrote them, and changed them. Not just clarifications, a total re-write here. Plus siege markers, and a battle board, and an auxiliary map to clear up the ambiguities there. A must have Game Kit.

Avalon Hill's "Gettysburg '88" is a highly playable and enjoyable version of everyone's favorite Civil War battle and wargame. This Game Kit provides optional rules to make the game more complex (and hopefully more realistic), including new combat rules, leader casualties, brestworks, supply and variable reinforcements. Also included are some experimental rules on facing. Extra counters are provided for the new leadership rules (for all the unit leaders in the game), and brestworks. And, as an added bonus, a complete breakdown of the mapboard terrain (has anyone ever figured out which woods hexes are connecting? - we have).

This Game Kit covers Columbia Games Civil War block games Bobby Lee and Sam Grant providing errata and optional rules. The errata primarily clarifies many of the ambiguities in the rules, and attempts to make the two games consistent in their application of common rules. The optional rules add a little spice to the basic game system and includes rules for leader's abilities in combat, a more realistic replacement system, forced marches and more. Also included are new counters that are badly needed in the game system for marking combat situations, both on the main mapboard and on the battle board. |

One of the Greatest wargames ever produced. Unfortunately the rules are probably the worst rules ever written.

Extra counters are included.

We changed our mind; we did want to mess with this classic. Presented here is a complete re-write of the 1914 rules, hopefully for the better. New rules for stacking, BEF arrival, fortifications, and the combat results table has been revised. The essential flavor of the original has been maintained. New counters included for forticiation artillery as well as extra reduction counters.

Another strategic level World War I game from Avalon Hill. GOA covers a lot more of the war than "1914"; unfortunately it is not covered quite as well. The biggest problem is the scattered approach to the rules - too many options, variants, experimental rules, naval options, etc, that don't really work well together. This is a mammoth Game Kit that attempts to correct the game, because deep under all the bad rules lies a pretty decent game. Extensive errata is provided as a rule book addendum.

SPI's "The Marne" proves you don't need armor blitzes, cavalry charges, and artillery barages to make a good game. Despite its appearance this is a very exciting game.

SPI's tactical level WWI game; "Soldiers". PanzerBlitz before the panzers (and before the blitz). Sounds boring - well it's not. A very nice game that only needs a little tweaking (in the form of some rules modifications) to make the combat system a little more realistic and complex.

Quite possibly the best, and certainly one of the most comprehensive wargames of all times; SPI's "To The Green Fields Beyond". This game has it all; tanks, cavalry, artillery barages, aircraft, supply, ammo depletion, everything. And what's really impressive is that it all works well together in a highly playable yet ultra realistic game. So why a Game Kit? The only problem with the game is the lack of tables for many of the rules. That's what this Game Kit provides; player aide charts.

This classic WWI Naval Combat game from Avalon Hill faithfully re-creates all aspects of this famous naval engagement; everything from the strategic level searching to the nitty-gritty details of the ship to ship combat. The ship-to-ship stuff is fun and exciting. The strategic game, true to history, is one of endless tedium. This Game Kit offers an alternative to the strategic game to get you into the fun stuff quicker, hopefully without compromising too much of the original flavour.

John Edward's Avalon Hill version of The Russian Campaign was a breakthrough game design, and a significant upgrade from the popular Stalingrad. That was in the '70s. The 21st Century has seen L2 totally revise this classic, but our Game Kit for TRC is a step in between. Maintaining the classic style of the original, while suggesting some minor improvements to bring it to more contemporary standards. Revised rail rules simplify the rather convoluted system from the original game. Also, we've revamped the weather/terrain/movement system to be a little more straight forward.

Avalon Hill's "Bismarck" combines detailed naval tactics (very detailed) and operational level action. This game is almost too detailed on both levels to be very playable. This Game Kit provides a much more simplified Operational game system, allowing players to maintain a view of the big picture, while really getting in to the tactical details of ship to ship combat. A new mapboard is provided, cards, weather counters; in all, nearly a complete new game in itself.

OK, so this Game Kit is not exactly new, just revised thanks to the efforts of Mr. Michael Power of Virginia Beach Va. What is new is the format; more reader friendly. Also some editorial changes and fixes.
This Game Kit provides a new game system for tactical level combat games such as "PanzerBlitz" or "PanzerLeader". Presented is a Pseudo-Simultaneous Sequence of Play system that offers the realism of simultaneous movement/combat/fire with the playability of a conventional sequencial game sequence. This system is applicable to any game system using the PanzerBlitz model and those SPI systems using the "Mech War/October War"-type Simultaneous system.

Avalon Hill's CLASSIC - Stalingrad. No game has been seen more "unofficial" revisions than this classic; yet the original remains the standard. So here is our unofficial revision. Not intended as a complete makeover; if that's what you want, try The Russian Campaign or Russian Front. This Game Kit makes minor adjustments to the basic game system to bring it more up-to-date while retaining the original flavour that made this one a classic. (Okay - maybe we did get carried away with the re-write of Russian Replacements).

It's all here! DVGC's house rules for APBA Master Baseball game (or should we say "Masterful" Baseball game). A new integrated gameboard, offense cards for selecting your plays, a functional scoresheet, pitcher series fatigue rules (and log sheet), rules summary cards, pitch-outs, "outfield in" defensive allignment, heck we even threw in a bunt chart.
Rev B Update - added correction for Pitch Out for steal attempts of 3B.
2013 Update: we've created a chance calculator to make those pesky math problems a little easier. Also revised the rules for cut-off throws (more realistic; the cut-off man's arm strength now matters).
2016 Update: combined Pitcher Series Rules with House Rules into a single file. New rule added for pitching around a batter, and additional clarifications on base stealing.
2019 Update: Expanded the base stealing rules for better realism when not holding a runner on first base. Created a simplified system for Dropped/Wild Throws. New rules clarifications regarding pitchers.
2021 Update: Clarifications on stolen base rules (HO is not allowed when 2b is occupied). Added new provision for defense to not cover 2B on a steal attempt (in favor of reducing the impact of a H/R; 2B/SS are not out of pocition covering the base). Modified the 5 earned runs in 3 innings rule to be more realistic.

DVGC's version of Park Factors for APBA baseball (Master Game). All the other versions we've seen (including APBA's), just don't quite cut it. Our version accounts for actual ball park dimensions of all historical MLB ball parks from 1920 through 2012 (included). Some of our ball parks go back into the late 1800s. These are the REAL Park Factors.

House Rules covering shift changes and line-ups, new faceoff rules, more strategy options, fatigue and rest rules, shot options, quick shots and more. PLUS... a new rink (slightly bigger), a penalty box, a scoreboard, line-up sheets, strategy cards, and more.... A must have for any APBA Hockey fan.
2017 Updates: improved line-up sheets for more meaningful penalty kill parameters, new rule for clearing the puck after a DZFO win to reduce the dump & chase frequency directly after the defensive teams wins a FO, clarifications on forechecking strategy changes and some basic rules clean-up.
2019 Updates: Changes to Long Shot results - missed shots may result in icing, offsides or a Change on the Fly situation (not all long shots are actually On Goal). Additional clarifications and rules clean-up.
2020 Updates: Updated charts to reflect Long Shot "off-goal" results. Added new optional rule for #8 result on Forechecking and Special Team charts. (Makes no sense to have 1 Forechecker and require a Forecheck Total = 12 for a SOG); now it is treated as a regular SOG if it is from a Forechecking Forward. Cleaned up conflicts about COTF to vacant position.
2022 Updates: Added revised boards - removed randomness of certain Interception results, adjusted faceoff rules for center ice faceoffs, modified first result after defensive rebound to use DZFO board instead of Forechecking boards, new rule for time sequence after multiple blocked shots resulting in DZFOs, general rules clean-up.

Ever feel like an evening of railroading (or railwaying) and robber baroning, but can't round up 4 or 5 friends for a 10 hour marathon. This variant is for you. Ownership of Avalon Hill's classic 1830 is required. These rules were created using the Mayfair edition, but will work fine with the original. Now you get to build all of the railroads yourself and compete against the mysterious greedy short sighted stock holders.
