- Modern War, Issue 38: Soyuz ’81 (new from Decision Games)
featuring the insert game, Soyuz ’81, an intermediate low complexity two-player wargame covering the possibilities inherent within the first month of that never-run operation. The Soviet player is cast in the role of aggressor, attempting to make work a classic strategy of “converging columns” advancing from around the periphery of Poland. His success or failure will be reckoned on his ability to bring that country to heel without having to expend an inordinate amount of military and political power to do it. [Forum]

- Strategy & Tactics, Issue 312: Alesia (new from Decision Games)
featuring the insert game, Alesia, a two-player game of the epic battle between Roman and Gallic forces in 52 BC. The battle pitted two of the great Leaders of that era against each other: Julius Caesar and Vercingetorix. This began as a Roman siege of the Gallic fortress at Alesia, and concluded with a decisive battle. The game system emphasizes command control. Players pick command markers to generate actions, modeling the chaos of the original battle. The Gallic objective is to break out of Alesia and link up with the relief army coming in from off the map. The Roman’s (caught in the middle) objective is to defeat the Gauls and eliminate Vercingetorix. [Forum]
