- 2019 Annual: La Vendée, 1793 (new from LPS Inc)
Against the Odds Magazine has shipped another "Annual," the XL sized issues that contain a larger game and larger magazine than normal. "La Vendee, 1793" looks at the southern French provinces that rejected both the Revolution and Napoleon, and were never completely suppressed. (In 1815, Napoleon stationed 20 THOUSAND troops there!). The game looks at the first revolt, which was the largest and had the best chance of attracting foreign intervention. The "Whites" (anti-revolutionaries) want to seize and hold Republican forts and attract English help. The "Blues" must crush the rebellion and fight off partisans as well. Full-sized playing cards bring added surprises to this area-movement game by John Poniske, while Mark Mahaffy's beautiful graphics bring sparkle to map and components. [Forum]
- ATO Magazine, Issue 54: Monty’s D-Day (new from LPS Inc)
Monty’s D-Day was first published (with a very limited release) in 1985. The game was well received but hard to find. Now, four decades later, designer John Prados smoothed and polished the system, added rules for parachute and amphibious landings, Hobart's "funnies," plus new options for German alternative responses. The game will also link with ATO's "Bradley's D-Day," released in 2018, for a massive look at the first 48 hours of D-Day. [Forum]

- Beyond Waterloo (ATO Magazine @ Kickstarter)
Against the Odds Magazine has launched a Kickstarter for an upgraded reprint of their award-winning game, "Beyond Waterloo." The John Prados design begins with Napoleon entering Paris in 1815, but keeps the field open for how and where Europe reacts to him. (Unlike other "100 Days" games, there is nothing that pushes players to have ANY battles in Belgium except their choices!). Beyond Waterloo won the Charles S. Roberts Award in 2012 for "Best Magazine Game." It has been out of print for several years, and ATO wants to upgrade the issue, incorporate clarifications and errata, and include all the expansions and extra scenarios that have come out as well. Stretch goals include card-stock charts, upgraded cards, player aids, and more. [Forum]

- Buffalo Wings (Against the Odds @ Kickstarter)
FINAL DAY! ATO announces their first kickstarter, to reprint their popular "Buffalo Wings" issue, one of the fastest "sold outs" in company history. Buffalo Wings is an 'entry level' game in the "Fighting Wings" series of air combat games by J.D. Webster covering the two wars between Finland and USSR. The upgrade will redo the map and counters to match the style of the recently released "Wings of the Motherland," and in fact the map will connect to Motherland for larger and different scenarios. The upgrade will also include a full edit on the rules, incorporating system developments and clarifications, and has some sweet stretch goals available, to include EVERY major type of plane used in the campaigns. Now on kickstarter, through July 31. [Forum]
