This checkers-type naval wargame covering the Atlantic Ocean theater was published in 1941 as simply Game of Defense. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor late that year, an Atlantic sticker was added to the box, and a companion board covering the Pacific Ocean was published, using the same parts box but with a Pacific sticker added. The Atlantic map...
Game of Defense: Pacific is a light wargame. It is for two sides (U.S. and "Asiatic"), each of whom has five ships each of three types (battleships, cruisers, and submarines). The ships are deployed on a map of the Pacific with a grid divided into red and white squares. On a turn a player moves one piece (or possibly more than one, as the rules are a bit...

The M3 Lee was a medium tank, used by both the U.S. and British forces (where it had the designation M3 Grant) and saw use in the battles of North Africa. It was quite unique in that it mounted a 75mm gun in the hull and a smaller 37mm gun in a small top turret above the superstructure. The M3 Lee Expansion Pack gives players a tank with a very similar...
The Valentine is a British infantry tank, built in a variety of marks (or variants) during the war. Used extensively in the battles of North Africa it had a reputation for being a well-protected vehicle, capable of operating under heavy enemy fire. As the war progressed the little Valentine was surpassed by larger tanks, capable of mounting heavier guns...
The StuG III (Sturmgeschütz III) assault gun was one of Germany’s most produced vehicles during World War II. Based on the versatile Panzer III hull, it had an armoured superstructure or upper hull instead of a turret. Removing the turret allowed engineers to mount the powerful 7.5 cm Pak 39 L/48 gun, making it a powerful tank hunter. The StuG III Ausf. G...
The SU-100 is a Soviet tank destroyer based off the extensively produced T-34 and T-34-85 chassis. Produced from September 1944 through June 1945, it saw service in the Red Army all the way through to the end of the war in Berlin and beyond. Combining well sloped armour and a deadly 100mm D10S gun, they were nicknamed ‘cat-killers’ for their ability to...
The M10 Wolverine is your typical tank destroyer, a glass cannon! It packs plenty of punch but if you concentrate your fire you can break it quickly. It has a solid firepower stat, which can be upgraded by replacing the 3” gun that comes as standard with the 76mm AT Gun M1A2 that improves both its firepower and initiative. Pair it up with lower initiative...
The M26 Pershing is remembered for being a Panther killer and as a Medium Tank it is all about offence, re-rolling a blank attack dice. Combine that with firepower 6 and the M26 doesn’t really need much in the way of upgrades. What are we saying, it was built for Smooth Ride (which allows you to reduce the penalty of moving when firing) and aggressive...
The M4A1 Sherman tank was, much like other releases in this wave, one of the most iconic tanks of the war. The Sherman first saw combat in the deserts of North Africa and continued to serve on battlefields till the end of the war in a variety of models. The M4A1 Sherman Expansion Pack has the same model previously included in the Starter Set, but has been...
The Comet looks a little like the trusty Cromwell but on steroids. It is one of those tanks that you could run naked without any addition crew or equipment if you wanted, trusting it’s great mobility, above average firepower and mobility and finally, outstanding survivability (for a Medium tank). Of course there is also a school of thought that suggests...
