Classic Wargames:
The Rebirth

Our popular Classic Wargames program has brought wargames to player’s tables that would not otherwise have seen the light of day: Leyte Gulf, U.S. Navy Plan Gold, Tiger of Malaya and Alamein. More are in production: Army of Lappland, Battles of 1866, Cone of Fire and Red Desert.

About every three months, we’ll present three new proposals for games that fall a little outside our usual parameters: they’re very large, on unusual topics, are very hardcore “real wargames,” or for some other reason are good games but just aren’t the sort of thing we believe we can sell through our normal methods.

Gamers choose which of the three they want to see placed in production by placing their pre-order pledge, including a credit card number. We’ll update the totals weekly. When the time limit is up, one of the new games will be declared the winner and enter production.

The latest proposals graduated to actual production status on July 23, 2007. Look for a new batch of candidates soon.

Potential Questions

Is the end date set in concrete? Will you extend it?

No. If no contender is close to the total we consider viable for publication, we may cancel all three and start over. On the other hand, if one opens a lead far ahead of the others and is over that threshold well before the end date, we do reserve the option to call the race early.

Does my Gold Club discount apply?

Yes it does.

What if the race is very close? Can there be multiple winners?

Not in a race between expensive ($100+) titles, but for the first set and others in the same price range, it's possible.

Can I count a Classic Wargame toward one of your sale offers?

Sorry, no. These are a separate offer and can't be combined with any special sales, including the monthly coupon.

How much is shipping?

Normal shipping charges apply.

Is your online order form secure?

Yes! The same technology keeps your information safe on the Classic Wargames order form as on our regular online store. The difference is the regular store charges you immediately for a game to be sent right away; the Classic Wargames form stores your information without charging you until the game is ready.

So what is the "viable total?"

That varies by title. We'd like to see around 750 but would accept fewer if it's a title we think will keep its shelf life for some time.

What happens to my order if a game fails to get printed?

We'll destroy the record of your credit card information. You will not be charged, though civilization will be the less for the game's demise.
