New Game Kits Avaialble Frederick the Great 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. Great War in the East SPI's classic World War 1 quadragame (plus 1) enhanced with a few rules modifications and clarifications (in our humble opinion). A new CRT de-emphasizes excessive leader bonus shifts and is not so attacker unfriendly; hopefully without disrupting the unique flavor of this system. Winter War A SPI Classic from 1972. A good little game that is very clean and fun to play. Only one small rules hole allowing the Soviets to circumvent the spirit of the supply rules to pick and choose which and when units are in supply. This Game Kit patches that hole and provides some additional clarifications. Solitaire 1830 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. NOW AVAILABLE.... 1833 The 19th Century Railroad Card Game A multi-player fast paced card game where you build your railroad empire by creating routes between North American cities from the 1800s. Use Private Railroads when you have to make tricky connections. Establish contracts with major RR corporations to use your routes for bonus points. A fun variation of a well known board game on a similar theme. 1833 is a FREE "Print & Play" game available for download from Deer Valley Game Company. CLICK HERE for details. NOW AVAILABLE....

INFANTRYMEN Don't you just love that word FREE? We here at DVGC love to give stuff away for FREE. The rules to SQUARES - The Civil War Battle Game are FREE. All of our Game Kits are FREE. Don't you just hate it when you find out that in order to get something for FREE you have to spend some money? Kind of makes it not really FREE, doesn't it? Unfortunately, that's the case here too. Okay it's a cheap and dirty way to get your attention, but how else can we get you to read this? The Infantrymen are FREE, you just have to buy the support troops that go along with them. But then again, that's the way life and Civil War life is and was. Looking for some Good Support Troops? WE GOT'EM We have collected a surplus of Imex 1:72 scale plastic miniatures of civil war soldiers in support poses. For example: artillerymen kneeling with hands over ears bucket carriers hay lifters ram rod men saddle carriers lanyard pullers We want to get rid of them! They're fine little men, we're just tired of having them laying around, so... while supplies last get 12 men (random poses, 6 blue, 6 gray) for $2. For every 2 dozen ordered we'll throw in a caisson wagon with 4 horses and driver for free. AND NOW! (while supplies last) We'll throw in 2 regular Infantrymen (1 blue/1 gray) with every dozen support troops ordered. NO, WAIT We just completed our year end inventory, and the situaton is more desperate than we thought. Therefore make that 6 FREE Infantrymen with every dozen support troops ordered. That's a total of not 14, but 18 soldiers. Infantrymen may be in one of a variety of poses, inlcuding kneeling or standing shooting, running, etc. Some Infantrymen may in fact be dismounted Cavalry looking like Infantrymen (but sharp eyed customers will notice the weapons are different). Send check or money order to Deer Valley Game Company, at the address listed on this page, (please include your return address). US funds only, no overseas shipment available.
