LIVING RULES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpace Empires is a game in the finest tradition of 4X space games - eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. Make no mistake, all four \"X's\" are included in this game. This is a wargame where the purpose of building your empire is not to feel good about your achievement, but to destroy your enemies and burn their colonies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eOne difficulty in games of this genre is that they are often either overly simplistic or tediously detailed. Space Empires has been almost 20 years in the making and, during that time, many elegant solutions have been developed to keep the theme rich without a lot of rules. The game includes carriers and fighters, mines, cloaking, a very large technology tree, fifteen ship classes from scout to dreadnaught, merchant shipping, colonization, mining, terraforming, bases, shipyards, black holes, warp points, and non-player aliens, yet the rules are short and intuitive and the game can be finished on one sitting. This is NOT a game that is hard to get into. The playtest rules are only 8 pages long for the basic game and increase to 11 pages in length when the advanced rules are included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExploration is easy (well, easy for you, it is actually dangerous for your ships) and fun and reveals different terrain (such as asteroids and nebulas) that affect your movement and your combat.

Alien races meet up close as they encounter each other for the first time in ship boarding engagements and planetary invasions with different types of ground troops. The strengths and weaknesses of each alien empire are brought out with roughly 20 unique racial abilities. The expansion takes advantage of the streamlined nature of the game system to add more technology and cool sci-fi things in very simple ways.

It covers the exploits of the 101st in their battles from D-Day through the Bulge. The rules are very simple (no combat charts are needed) with very few exceptions to remember and yet the game is meant to be all encompassing and will include infantry, tanks, and artillery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on years of research, the game system uses a unique suppression mechanic. There are no longer two unique states for a unit, but varying degrees of suppression. This allows suppression to accumulate from multiple fire sources and means that the unit will not take a morale check until it is asked to do something.

Von-Neumann Machines (\"Replicators\") are self-replicating machines that behave, research, and reproduce differently than other empires, while having their own Empire Advantages. Replicators can be used by a fifth player, as an opponent in co-op games, or as a teaching empire for new players as the Replicator player doesn't have to fill out a production sheet or track the technology on his ships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpace Empires: Replicators also includes hex-sized terrain tiles for planets, asteroids, nebulae, and other permanent terrain effects. When an exploration marker reveals a terrain effect that stays on the map, the exploration marker is removed and replaced by a tile, giving the map a nice visual effect. (By removing the exploration marker, this also creates more room in the hexes because now the entire hex is the terrain.) For epic games, the backs of some of these tiles can be used to connect two Space Empires Boards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew Deep Space terrain is included in this expansion, with the Galactic Capital (which comes with its own scenario), Regional Map, Gravitational Anomaly, Space Pirates, and the Fold in Space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach player also is dealt his own (random) resource deck at the start of the game. Everyone starts with a hand of three cards and draws a new one each turn. These cards can be used as an event or turned in for CP. Cards impact battles, exploration, economics — almost every aspect of the game; they can add unpredictable twists and impact your strategy. More powerful resource cards require you to discard an extra card to play them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew Ships are included in Space Empires: Replicators, with these ships requiring a new technology — Advanced Construction — to be researched. There are three levels of Advanced Construction, and it cannot be researched until the Economic Phase after your empire has built a BC or larger ship. Thus, they won't be available until the middle game at the earliest. The ships opened up by Advanced Construction include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBattle Carriers (BV), which are large carriers that can fight well, carry six Fighters, and come equipped with Anti-Sensor Hull (immune to Mines). Fighter 4s can also be researched and built.\u003cbr\u003eAdvanced Destroyers (DDX) that can mount Attack 2, Defense 2, and come with Heavy Warheads (automatically hit on a 1 or a 2).\u003cbr\u003eAdvanced Raiders (RX) that can mount Attack 3, Defense 3, and can carry one ground unit!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of the advanced ships can also be equipped with Fast technology (similar to BCs) if Fast 2 is researched. These changes don't impact the early and midgame, but make the DDs and Rs relevant in the late game. Raiders and Fighters are often curve balls that, once the opponent has reacted to them, lose their potency. This gives players another chance to throw a curve later in the game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome additional counters have been included for all players. The Fleet and Miner counters that were misprinted in the Close Encounters expansion have also been corrected.

This game introduces battles during the First Talon War between the Terran Confederation and the Talon Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a Fleet Combat game. Battles with individual ships can be fought, but the game easily and quickly simulates combat with fleets of 3-10 ships. These are fleets of Capital Ships. This is NOT a game about fighter combat in space. Most ships in the game are large and you must balance your ships' power output between shields, weapons, sensors and maneuverability - you are not just doing an Immelman. Each faction has unique abilities and each ship has unique features. Proper strategy involves assessing the different abilities of your ships and the enemy's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an Accessible game. The complexity of managing fleets of capital ships has been baked into the game system, leaving the player free to make interesting decisions. It is also a Fast Paced game. Small fleet scenarios can be played in one hour, larger ones in under two. This makes the game thematically rich and full of quick but meaningful choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow can the game do all this? All a ship's energy use is integrated into something called a Power Curve. All a player has to do is adjust the speed of the ship. A ship's speed determines how much Available Power it gets to charge weapons faster, reinforce shields, tighten turns... but there will never be enough of it. The game is fought on a Map - distances moved, firing arcs, shield arcs are distinct and easily resolved. The game uses Very Large, Laminated Counters. All of a ship's systems are displayed directly on the counter and lamination allows you to mark damage and other ship info with a dry erase marker. All of the important information is at your fingertips, at-a-glance, on the map. Being able to see the battle unfold on map allows the game system to handle a much larger number of ships without confusion and effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerran Fleet (10 different ship classes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTalon Fleet (9 different ship classes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips with 4 Shield Arcs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFighter Squadrons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBases, Transports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique Abilities for each faction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsteroids, Planets, Nebulae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Holes, Worm Holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Different Weapon Systems including Missiles that track on the board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNFTL and FTL Drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 Scenarios following the story of the First Talon War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMission Variety: Escort missions, planetary invasions, base assaults...\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime Score tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpire War campaign game with dynamic, strategic-level decisions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoint System for Purchasing Ships and Design-Your-Own Scenarios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA tie in with Space Empires 4x\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":2841603440666,"sku":"2841603440666","price":54.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic2661579_bbaf1880-fa52-4a7b-8567-82d8c0e41b89.jpg?v=1578609320"},{"product_id":"talon-1000","title":"Talon 1000","description":"\u003ctable margin=\"1\" padding=\"1\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/jim-krohn\"\u003eJim Krohn\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/all\/gmt-games\"\u003eGMT Games\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaytime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60-90 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpansion For\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/talon-second-edition\"\u003eTalon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eLamination: - The ship counters in this expansion have improved lamination over the original game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSolitaire System Added: - Although the Talon base game plays very well solitaire, a dedicated Solitaire System is being released as part of Talon 1000.

Talon is a tactical game of space fleet combat between the Terran Confederation and the invading Talon Empire. It is a quick playing game with simple, but not simplistic rules that innovatively allows you to play large space fleet battles quickly. By keeping all of the information in front of you on the board, it enables you to have lots of choices and interesting decisions without the brain burn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy is it named Talon 1000?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe expansion is called Talon 1000 because it adds over 1000 scenarios to the game of Talon. With 4 sheets of expansion counters, most of which have ships printed on both sides, the game comes with ~130 new ships. For comparison, the base game came with a total of 54 ships. Some of the new counters are increased numbers of the current ship types, but many of them are additional ship designs with different weapon load outs and configurations. This gives a wide array of point values which makes scenario balancing easy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 1000 scenarios come from the tables of fleets that are built from all these new counters. Both the Talon and the Terran have 10 unique fleets at the 300 point level, the 400 point level, the 500 point level, etc. All the fleets on each table are within 1 point of the table's total with no special rules or counter changes required. There are 10 of these table of increasing points. To play a random scenario, the players can either choose a point level or roll a 10 sided die to arrive at one. Then they each randomly roll a die on that table to determine their fleet. With 100 different scenarios possible from each table, the 10 tables give the players 1000 unique scenarios.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe over 1000 scenarios part comes from all the additional things included in the expansion - base assaults, terrain, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew ship types in the expansion:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTerran:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• SCE\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • DDE\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • DDP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • DDX\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • CLE\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • CLP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • CLX\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • CAX\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • BCH\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • BCX\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • Starbase\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTalon:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• FFE\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • FFX\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • DDG\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • DDD\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • DDX\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • CLE\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • CLX\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • CAX\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • BCH\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • BCX\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • Starbase\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll of the counters in Talon 1000 will be coated with improved lamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComponents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • Play Book with over 1000 new scenarios\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • 170 new laminated, double sided, hexagonal ship counters on 5 counter sheets \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • 22 new ship designs\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • 2 Player Aid Cards\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • Impulse Chart\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • Empire War Scenario Card\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e • Ownership of Talon is required to play\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12881698422835,"sku":"1815","price":34.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic4252498.jpg?v=1578609441"},{"product_id":"space-empires-3-box","title":"Space Empires 3\" Box","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBased on numerous customer requests, we are today adding a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3\" Box for Space Empires 4X \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eoption to P500.

Space Empires has been almost 20 years in the making and, during that time, many elegant solutions have been developed to keep the theme rich without a lot of rules. The game includes carriers and fighters, mines, cloaking, a very large technology tree, fifteen ship classes from scout to dreadnaught, merchant shipping, colonization, mining, terraforming, bases, shipyards, black holes, warp points, and non-player aliens, yet the rules are short and intuitive and the game can be finished on one sitting.

of Brothers: Ghost Panzer is a fast playing game of squad level combat in WWII. It covers the exploits of the German 11th Panzer Division in Russia from 1941 to 1944. The rules are very simple (no combat charts are needed) with very few exceptions to remember and yet the game is meant to be all encompassing and will include infantry, tanks, and artillery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on years of research, the game system uses a unique suppression mechanic. There are no longer two unique states for a unit, but varying degrees of suppression. This allows suppression to accumulate from multiple fire sources and means that the unit will not take a morale check until it is asked to do something. You will never know for sure how your units will respond until they are needed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough casualties can be caused by artillery and heavy weapons (which makes them prime battlefield targets), squads will never cause significant casualties shooting at range at dug in, first line troops. Their goal is to fire and maneuver. Sections of the enemy force must be pinned down and eliminated from up close. The system itself forces this realistic play. In a similar fashion, the system rewards you for spreading your troops out and other realistic game play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother unique feature of the game is its use of Proficiency and Casualty ratings to differentiate squads in areas besides just morale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGhost Panzer is a STAND ALONE GAME, but is also the second in a series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBand of Brothers: Screaming Eagles was the first in the series and followed the U.S. 101st Airborne Division.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther games under research are \"The Old Breed\" (the US 1st Marine Division) and a module that follows Commonwealth forces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther Key Links:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigning a Division","brand":"Worthington Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41227255873587,"sku":"WPUB 078","price":99.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic1392887_d8af217e-81b1-438b-a08b-5f9b9e433063.jpg?v=1677816027"},{"product_id":"band-of-brothers-battle-manual","title":"Band of Brothers: Battle Manual","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\" padding=\"1\" margin=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/jim-krohn\"\u003eJim Krohn\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/all\/worthington-publishing-llc\"\u003eWorthington Publishing, LLC\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaytime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90-90 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr id=\"bgg-row\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd id=\"bgg-column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e207318\/band-brothers-battle-manual\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-forum-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003ehttp:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/207318\/band-brothers-battle-manual\/forums\/63\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eOriginally printed as a stretch goal from the Texas Arrows Kickstarter campaign, the Battle Manual was significantly redone and improved for the 2003 Kickstarter.
