HPS has announced three new games: Ancient Warfare: Alexandrian Wars, Total War in Europe: War on the Southern Front, and Squad Battles: Dien Bien Phu.
Alexandrian Wars is the third title in the HPS "Ancient Warfare" game series and simulates an era that significantly extended the face of warfare.
War on the Southern Front (WSF) is the second installment HPS’s "Total War in Europe" series. It focuses on the ground and air campaigns fought in the regions surrounding the Mediterranean in 1940-43. This includes the Italian Invasion of Greece in 1940, the subsequent German invasion of the Balkans, Rommel and the exploits of the Afrika Korps, and the Allied invasion of Sicily. These campaigns saw a wide range of operations, from swift armor thrusts in the desert to infantry slogging matches in the mountains to daring airborne assaults.
Dien Bien Phu conjures up many images for the average wargamer – a bloody, muddy siege, the failure of a colonial empire to hold onto it’s possessions in the aftermath of World War II, the Legion Etrangere holding positions to the end, paratroopers dropping into a doomed situation, the list goes on. However, the French Indochina War was much more than that. In the Legion tradition, small outposts and their defense were a fixture throughout the war. There were riverine assaults, a tactic that would bloom in the American War 10+ years later. Aggressive paradrops were a regular feature before the development of the heliborne assault. There were convoys and endless patrols. In this latest edition to the "Squad Battles" series you will get to experience all of these situations and more.
