Tank Leader, published in three games in 1986-1990, is simply the best platoon level armor game ever, still decades ahead of Panzerblitz, Panzer Grenadier, Blood & Thunder, and all others I've seen. Another John Hill masterpiece. The third game in the series, Desert Steel , won the 1990 Charles Roberts Award for best WWII boardgame. List the cards, the units, quality, experience, morale/morale modifier, plus sometimes the unit ratings. (ASCII format)

VASSAL Flames of War

Wow, its been awhile since I have given an update and considering the amount of time that's past I really should have more done but real life seems to have reared its ugly head again. For all of you following my little blog I want to thank you for the support and for those of you offering help please just drop me an email at Hoosier188@gmail.com and let me know in what area your wanting to help. So besides more art for the American Rifle Company, which can be seen below, I have been working on deployment overlays and generally cleaning up the programing portions of the module. The later is slowing me down a bit since I didn't know anything about Vassal until I started this so to do anything I have to reverse engineer other modules to make mine do what I want. Additional, I have been toying with the idea of releasing the module in its current state to a handful of experienced players so they can play around with it and make suggestions.

Hat miniatures

http://www.hat.com/current99.html Dated: May 4, 2010. Any collector knows what the worst part of toy soldier collecting is, the wait! It's often a wait of months and even years before new sets show up. Designing and producing each set takes a long time. Every set of new toy soldiers (from any company) you've bought have probably been a year in the making. It cannot be determined for certain when a set will be released due to vagaries in the mold making process, but to make the wait as painless as possible we have created this page which shows the production status of the sets in the form of little graphs, so you'll how close to production the next set is.

The Army of Darkness board game was put out in 1992 by a company called Leading Edge(now out of business), a company who made board games based movies. The game represents the battle at Arthur's castle at the end of the movie. The game board is composed of 15 3/3 inch squares and 4 6/3 inch wall squares within a square sized castle. All thin white and red outlines printed on a picture of the Deadites from the movie. You have key squares like the tower (where the book goes), the pit (if this opens Deadites start to appear in the pit), the wall squares (This is where Deadites usually appear), and the gate (eventually the Deadites break through the gate and appear hear). This game can be played with 1 to 8 players.
