- Dog Sector (new from White Dog Games)
Dog Sector is a beer-and-pretzels level, tactical-level, solitaire war game that simulates the famous WW II Normandy amphibious landing in 1944. Assault the German-held heights on a 32" x 24" game board with 178 counters, representing German and American combat units and game markers. The tension is visceral as you maneuver your units and provide cover fire in an attempt to take the German trenches on the heights under withering fire. Available in boxed, plastic-bag, and print-and-play formats. [Forum]

- Second World War at Sea: Horn of Africa (Avalanche Press Preorder)
Horn of Africa takes players to this little-known theatre of the Second World War, the battles between the Royal Navy’s Red Sea Force and the Regia Marina’s Red Sea Flotilla during the East African Campaign of 1940-1941. Ten battle and 15 operational scenarios depict the major actions of the campaign, along with a number of hypothetical situations that examine possible British intervention in the Second Italo-Abyssinian War of 1935-1936, as well as the use of ships on both sides not historically available but which with better preparation in the 1930’s or even on the eve of war could have been present.

- Operation Icarus (new from Tiny Battle Publishing)
The Germans named their unrealized plan to invade Iceland “Unternehmen Ikarus”, Operation Icarus. Tiny Battle Publishing’s thrilling game of the same name revives this tenuous turning point in World War II, where British troops stood between Germany and the rest of the world, on 40,000 square miles of icy rock in the North Atlantic. Operation Icarus is a brigade-level tactical wargame featuring land, sea, and air units navigating Iceland, the ocean and sea surrounding it, and the skies above. [Forum]
