Games so far...

Sharpe's Sword
After the Battle of Salamanca on 22 July 1812, Sharpe and Sergeant Harper are involved in espionage while hunting down the sadistic and highly dangerous Phiippe Leroux

Battle of Langensalza (1866)
A showdown between the Kingdom of Hanover and the Kingdom of Prussia. The future of the Hannoverian Century lies in your hands. Noble kingdom? or prussian vassal!

Tarawa
It's November 1943 and Operation Galvanic has been set into motion. The 2nd Marine Division has been given the task of taking the Tarawa Atoll from the defending Japanese forces. This mission has two main purposes: Take the Japanese airfield on Betio Island so that it can be used for future operations, and to test the validity of naval assault operations. This will be the first time that the United States assaults a dug in force that will oppose such a landing. A must see display in 1/200 scale.
