The newest HONOUR tabletop game places you in command of entire divisions, corps, and armies as you make operational decisions involving thousands of men and machines. Rommel allows you to recreate entire major battles, using miniatures and/or "unit cards," as you prefer.
The Rommel game book is a 144-page full color hardback that includes the Basic and Advanced games, plus terrific resources for anyone interested in playing the Second World War at this scale. A typical game lasts 2-3 hours.
Historical Scenarios
The book walks you through the process of creating a scenario using historical orders of battle and maps.
Fictional Armies and Scenarios
An army-creation system includes 14 lists from 6 nations. Eight fictional scenario templates are highly flexible and customizable. A unique points system allows players to field armies of different points values, with the disadvantaged player compensated with various degrees of control over the scenario, terrain, and setup.
Open Architecture
All of the game's values are "open" and can be adjusted by the players. Unit values automatically adjust to whatever changes you wish to make. This allows players to create an infinite number of new army lists for their favorite or specialized forces.
Once they master the game's basic rules, players can use the Advanced Game, which introduces new operations such as airborne or amphibious landings; specialized units and a greater variety of traits for existing units; engineering, mine clearing, and many other possibilities.
Rommel is now available as a book ($40) or a PDF ($20) from the HONOUR Online Store.
Or get the Rommel Bundle: both the book and PDF for only $49!

1943 The Fascist scourge holds Europe in an iron grip.
Across the world, battalions clash and tanks burn.
But in the shadows, another war is being fought. A war of knives and bombs. A war of infiltration. A war of resolute action and a war of daring.
Enter the world of commando actions.
Where Sten Guns Dare sets you in the role as a British Commando squad, tasked with undertaking missions to undermine the German war effort.
Playable solo, with a GM or in a group, you'll find the following features:
*A quick and easy to use game, using the engine from Starport Scum.
*20 character traits are provided.
*Stealth rules are included, for tense infiltration missions (the stealth system originated in FiveCore)
*Random mission set up.
*Campaign rules, letting you fight to liberate a region from Nazi rule.
*Scenario friendly. We offer rules for things like radios and mortar fire, to make sure your commandos have the support they need... as long as the Gestapo doesn't get there first.
Where Sten Guns Dare is intentionally written to be a bit more open ended and "British", falling into the category of "tool kit" rather than "complete gaming tome with answers to everything".
As such, it's not ideal for gamers who want a competitive-oriented game.
On the upside, it means the entire package fits in under 50 pages, including the campaign rules.
Short enough to digest on a Friday night, comprehensive enough for a ton of fun scenarios.
Did I mention you get a bonus if you drink tea while you play?
Free Rules Supplement for WW2 South Pacific
This week sees the release of the new Combat Patrol supplement for gaming platoon level engagements set in the Second World War Pacific Theatre of Operations.
Fighting in the South Pacific during World War II was unique compared to other theatres, even other parts of the Pacific. This supplement includes rules that represent the unique nature of Japanese morale, Banzai! charges, suicide anti-tank attacks, night infiltration, vehicle-mounted flame throwers, and other rules. The Banzai! charge rules strike a good balance between effectiveness without overpowering the charge and making the Japanese invincible.
Of these new rules, the most significant are those for Japanese morale. The basic morale rules work very well for other theatres, including China, Burma, and India. In Combat Patrol™ morale failure is represented more as a loss of cohesion than a sudden, unexpected retreat. As units take morale checks, the unit gradually dissolves or stops responding to commands. Japanese morale failure in the South Pacific seems to have been more unit oriented than individual; the unit leader will decide to retreat, take cover, or assault the enemy in response to fire rather than individuals melting into the jungle. The new morale results reflect this.
Japanese Action Deck RRP £6.50
In Combat Patrol™: World War II, cards in an Action Deck are used by players to resolve shooting, determine movement distance, conduct hand-to-hand combat, and check morale. This eliminates the need for charts and tables. Each player has an Action Deck that he uses to resolve these actions. New decks are now available for gamers using a Japanese army. The parts of the cards that deal with small arms fire, melee, HE, movement and cover saves are the same as all of the other Combat Patrol decks, but the Morale section is unique to reflect the rules for Japanese morale. The new cards are optional as existing cards can be used to cross reference the Japanese morale rules in the supplement, but having the specific cards makes morale tests a lot easier.
Sally 4th has released two new accessories for Combat Patrol players this week.
Combat Patrol Card Dispenser £10 RRP – Easy to assemble MDF kit to make a handy and attractive card dispenser in the shape of a bridge to keep your action deck and discards tidy on the gaming table and easy to move around with you to where the action is.
Combat Patrol Card, Token and Dice Storage £15 RRP – Easy to assemble MDF kit styled on the vintage card index, and including drawer with dividers to hold dice and counters and a set of index card dividers. The set includes five dividers, four marked as Action and one as Activation.
As usual the supplement is available as a free to download PDF file, the new cards and the Combat Patrol card dispenser and card and token box are available to purchase from Sally 4th website HERE and we will have them with us at shows including ‘The Other Partizan’ on Sunday 20th August.
The PDF download is also available from Buck Surdu’s website HERE
