F I N E G A M E S N E W S
THE FINE GAMES WEB SITE WAS UPDATED yesterday. And it wasn't a standard
update. Instead, the catalogs themselves were updated as usual. But the web
pages were reworked from top to bottom. Your invited to review them anew.
One further change will be made in July. The Catalog Index page will be
overhauled to add new views into our inventory as well as to make it more
apparent what you're seeing.
The catalogs are now easy to update because of the perpetual inventory our
order entry system allows. Thus, we expect to update the online catalogs on
a weekly basis from here on. Given the frequency of the update, that allows
*you* to rely on online inventory as you check prices and availability.
Fine Games web pages will be updated more periodically. Since the info on
our pages is more static than that in the catalogs, there is much less need
to update the web pages themselves. Thus, we expect to continue to update
these about once a month. However, this update will no longer coincide with
an update to the catalogs.
THE FINE GAMES NEWSLETTER WILL BE UPDATED more frequently in the future,
too. We anticipate more regular, weekly updates concerning game releases.
And monthly, cumulative updates of the type you've become used to. This
change, we hope, will keep you up to date on everything that's available in
this strange world of Games!
FINE GAME SHIPPING TERMS have been clarified on the revised Shipping web
page . This page makes our current
policies clearer. In sum, shipping is $6 per order except where an order
includes
(1) four or fewer flat, unboxed items in which case shipping is $4; or
(2) any Large Boxed (LB) items or weighty items, in which case
shipping is $8 plus $1 for each such item beyond the first.
Simple really. And this makes clear a change that took place over the last
several months, making all our public shipping terms consistent.
I N D U S T R Y N E W S
THE MIX OF NEW GAME RELEASES has changed in the last year. When you stop &
think about it, its been an exceptionally slow year for WARgames, but not a
bad year for strategy games in general. Games such as Mississippi Queen, or
Settlers of Catan Card Game, are good examples of the type of lighter,
multiplayer game that have been hot for the last year.
What's largely missing, of course, is the solid wargame that we've been so
used too. Aside from March to Victory and Clash of Arm's just out War
Without Mercy, 1998 has been pretty barren for thus far for traditional
wargames.
Of course, the year is young. GMT's announced publication of 3 prime games:
Invasion Sicily, Saratoga, and Caesar, Gallic Wars (none of which are out).
And Clash of Arms has Summer Storm (Gettysburg) and Fear God & Dreadnought
coming soon. And, of course, Avalance should have Great War at Sea v.2
soon, too. So we'll have to wait to see whether 1998 will produce a decent
crop of real, honest to god *war*games. We'll see....
N E W G A M E R E L E A S E S
You can always view the most recent listing of New Game Releases at
.
Since mid-May and until early this week, the dearth of games continued
unabated. But then several major releases hit on Monday. Check 'em out!
WAR WITHOUT MERCY, by Clash of Arms, showed up. This game has two maps and
more than 800 counters. It covers the eastern frown during WW2, and will
have a couple more mating games covering other theaters in the war in
Europe.
The oh so long awaited Anglicized SETTLERS OF CATAN CARD GAME is finally
out. Its official. Price is expected to be $14, and should arrive here by
Monday. This should be a mixture of the German card game plus its
expansion, all with English components.
Mayfair also imported two new German games. The first is another die
Siedler edition, STADTE & RITTER. This one adds metropolises which enlarge
upon cities, and also barbarian invasions that must be defended by
defending knights. $35 and due by Monday.
Their second game is DURCH DIE WUSTE in which 3-5 players take the role of
Bedouin tribes developing caravans, water holes, oases and such in the
desert. $38.50, here by Monday.
Wargames West had been importing a line of German games including the
popular MISSISSIPPI QUEEN. Now, they've formed a new company, Rio Games, to
import German produced, all-English versions of this game ($28), and its
BLACK ROSE expansion ($14). Both involve piloting a paddle wheeler down a
river in a race that requires you to pick up passengers & manage your coal
supply. Their FOSSIL game is also on hand for $21.
MORSECODE, a strategic level western front game of WW2 is also out. A large
game w/ 1700 nicely done counters played on a single map. Its a would-be
World in Flames. And approaches it in price. In stock for $56.
Many people have been awaiting the TWILIGHT IMPERIUM: ARMADA kit adding
300+ plastic ships. Well, they've finally been released. $21 in stock.
ASL fans have just a little bit to enjoy. CRITICAL HIT MAG #5/1 is avail
and in stock for $12. Also, the EURO-PACK 4 scenario pack providing 8 new
ASL scenarios focused on N.Africa. In stock for $7.
PLAQUE & PESTILENCE, a cute little card game that reminds me of a low-tech
game of Nuclear War, is on hand. This wa previously available only direct
from a small publisher. But now, you can spread the plague to all your
friends for just $12.

You can always view the most recent listing of Pending Game Releases (those
due within a few months) at .
The most notable of the imminent releases are: the '98 WORLD IN FLAMES
ANNUAL, the '98 ASL ANNUAL, ASL DOOMED BATTALIONS, FOR THE PEOPLE, GREAT
WAR AT SEA: NORTHERN WATERS, HARPOON: WHITE ENSIGN, LA B LUTZEN, SUMMER
STORM, J.CAESAR GALLIC WARS, INVASION: SICILY, WAR OF RESISTANCE, LA GUERRE
DE L'EMPEROUR, and BELLS OF WAR.
EUROPA fans will enjoy Tom Johnson's latest alternative rules kit, WAR AT
SEA, which he says now weighs in at about 4 *pounds*. This should be out in
July.
Kevin Zucker, reigning prince of Napoleonic design, will do LA GUERRE DE
L'EMPEROUR, a strategic level, simpler game of the Napoleonic era focused
on diplomacy and economics. Something like a simpler Empires in Arms.
And I'm dying to see AWE's LA GRANDE GUERRE 1914-18, personally. Will it be
beautiful? Will it have lots & lots of gorgeous counters? Will it have 70
pages of rules, half of which are exceptions to the first half?
Of these, my bets are on FOR THE PEOPLE (AH) and GREAT WAR AT SEA: NORTHERN
WATERS (Avalanche), and J.CAESAR GALLIC WARS to be exceptionally popular.
And perhaps simply exceptional.
