The African Campaign, Designer Signature Edition, marks the return of a true wargaming classic by John Edwards, faithfully remastered and updated with this all-new, supersized edition. Celebrated by many as “Afrika Korps done right,” this two-player game allows players to explore the key elements of the Desert War, beginning in December 1940 with Wavell’s first offensive, Operation Compass, against the Italian forces of Marshal Graziani, and culminating in December 1942 when the Americans landed in Rommel’s rear. This Deluxe Version features a Mounted Map and thicker counters. [Forum]

Steppe and Sky: A Brief History of Ukraine is just what the subtitle says, a very short history of Ukraine. It goes for $15, and all of that (minus credit card/paypal processing fees) will go to Catholic Relief Services’ mission assisting Ukrainian refugees in Poland. This isn’t some nebulous “the profits will go to” thing; Avalanche Press will eat the production costs on this one and the staff will do all the editorial work (writing, layout and such) and shipping work unpaid.
