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

S&T games are also available, but only in 8.5 x 11 format; you will have to piece the maps together.

Electronic copies will be sent to a validated email address only. Electronic copies are in PDF format, so be sure you have the required reader (e.g. Adobe).

OPENINGS NOW AVAILABLE

Version 1.4 of The Gettysburg Campaign is now available to owners of game. This revision only consists of cosmetic changes to the text (standardizing capitalization), a correction to the section numbering for the Retreat/Reinforcement Segment (section IX.B.5) and Pursuit Fire (section IX.B.6), and a minor rules clarification (yes, a unit that does not FAIL its Morale Check, PASSES its Morale Check).

Owners of the game may receive a free update either as a PDF file via email or a new rules booklet. To receive your update send us an email, with your preference. If the version number listed on the bottom of page 12 of your rules booklet is not "version 1.4" then you have an old version and are elligible for a free update.

(original rules versions have no revision number listed).

Ian Milnes has created a variant for SQUARES- The Civil War Battle Game, that addresses warfare tactics during the Napoleonic era. The really good news is that he has graciously provided it for all to try and enjoy.

To download the rules for his Napoleonic version of SQUARES- The Civil War Battle Game, just click on the link below. The file is in Rich Text Format so any standard word processor should be able to read it.

INFANTRYMEN

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. Offer good only while supplies last.

We would like to see (and publish) photographs of your own homemade versions of SQUARES - The Civil War Battle Game. (Yes we are actually encouraging you to make your own version, rather than buying one from us - hard to believe, isn't it). Check out some ideas on how to do this on the MAKE YOUR OWN GAME page.
