Panzer Grenadier:
Hopeless But Not Serious

The Austrian Army resists the Nazis in 1938, plus scenarios from the Austrian Civil War of 1934. On its way with real die-cut-and-mounted counters, or available now as a download with 16 scenarios. Read the developer's overview, or take a look at some of the pieces included. It's just $24.99 for the printed version, $12.99 for the download, but best of all Buy Two Get a Third FREE and Gold Club discounts apply!

Viking Funeral!
Alamein is a great game, but it's oversized and CS specialist Beth Phillips wants it out of the warehouse NOW. From now until March 1, this $200 game sells for just $99.99. On that date, we drag any remaining copies behind the warehouse and set them on fire (hey, this IS Alabama). Spare this giant game from such a fate — Gold Club discounts and Buy Two Get a Third FREE apply.

Panzer Lehr
The entire 130th "Panzer Lehr" Division in Panzer Grenadier format. A set of 352 die-cut-and-mounted game pieces in their own special scheme, for use with Battle of the Bulge, Elsenborn Ridge or the upcoming Winter Soldiers.

Hopeless But Not Serious
Austria takes on the Nazis in 16 scenarios based on battles that never happened, but could have. There's one spiral-bound booklet plus 352 die-cut-and-mounted game pieces (yes, "real" counters!).

Printed Versions!
Panzer Grenadier: Iron Wolves and Second World War at Sea: Imperial & Royal Navy are here in very limited editions of printed versions. Grab hold of them now: first come, first served. We have more on the way, about three weeks away from delivery.

Winter Specials!
There's a new season, and that means new Seasonal Specials. Check them out for great savings, and opportunities to try out games you haven't played before.

Buy Two, Get a Third FREE!
Our most popular promo ever is back. Item with the lowest price is the free one.

Four popular items that temporarily sold out are back and ready for ordering:

Panzer Grenadier: 1940 The Fall of France

Second World War at Sea: Black Sea Fleets

Panzer Grenadier: Winter Wonderland

Panzer Grenadier: Kokoda Trail

Damaged Stuff
We’ve found (or had an accident with) a few more damaged games, available now for a very cheap price. Damage ranges from “scuffed” to “blasted” but all the innards are intact — pay your money, take your chances.

Island of Death
$8

Cruiser Warfare
$10

Printed Versions!
You asked for them, and we thought we'd never find a way to deliver. They're available now: limited edition, printed versions of two of our most popular download-only game supplements, Panzer Grenadier: Iron Wolves and Second World War at Sea: Imperial & Royal Navy. Scenarios and ship data are in spiral-bound booklets just like our scenario supplements; playing pieces are full-color printed on heavy cardstock but not die-cut. It's an experiment: if these do well, we'll offer more in the future.

News From the Front
Sign up for our mailing list and keep getting updates on exciting new Avalanche Press games.

Another Division
8 February 2010: With Alamein heading for Valhalla — hopefully not with a fiery end to the last copies — we start a whole series of variants for the game. Over coming weeks, we'll run variants for the German, Italian and Allied armies that exponentially expand your potential game fun. Today we start with Part One of the German variants. Grab hold of the game while you still can: Come March 1, every remaining copy becomes kindling!

Pieces of Black SS
5 February 2010: It's our newest supplement for the Panzer Grenadier system, a set of special pieces for our Beyond Normandy, Road to Berlin and Elsenborn Ridge games that put the Waffen SS in a long-requested black color scheme. Today the boss describes what you get in the package. And it's just $9.99!

End of the End
of the Beginning
4 February 2010: Alamein is by far our largest game, but no longer our most expensive. Starting today its regular price is dropping in half, to $99.99, until the last one is gone. Today the boss describes why in a rant filled with buzzwords and stuff.

1940: Lords of Steel
3 February 2010: One of the most intriguing aspects of our 1940: The Fall of France game is the widely varying troop quality of the French forces and how that affects game play. Today Doug McNair looks at the Lords of Steel scenario, where troop quality plays a crucial role. Get your own copy and read along with Doug!

Norway's Fleet
2 February 2010: In reality, Norway did not fight in the First World War. But the fleet appears in our Great War at Sea: Jutland game along with hypothetical scenarios based on Norwegian, British and German war plans. Join the Norwegian fleet and chase the Swedes!

Black SS
29 January 2010: It's the special item YOU asked for most: black Waffen SS counters for use in our Beyond Normandy, Road to Berlin and Elsenborn Ridge games. Swap these in for the games' standard pieces and you'll know who the Allies most want to destroy.

Gold Club Counters
28 January 2010: Now that we can make game pieces in small numbers, we have a new set of Gold Club special pieces going into production soon. Today we have a look at what's on this sheet — if you want it, make sure your Gold Club membership is up to date!

Counter Feedback!
27 January 2010: New technologies finally let us make all sorts of specialty counters, and so the boss is back with more business babble. We need your feedback once again: What sort of wonderful new toys would you like us to make with these methods? Read and answer!

Those Who Can ...
26 January 2010: Germany's Panzer Lehr Division fought in relatively few battles, but quickly gained a reputation as an elite unit. Players of our Panzer Grenadier games can now add these unique, limited edition REAL counters to their games of Elsenborn Ridge and Battle of the Bulge.

Third Reich Supply
25 January 2010: As players of Third Reich know, bad things happen to units that can't be supplied. Today developer Doug McNair presents some optional rules offering two special ways to supply your isolated units.

Assault on Chattanooga
22 January 2010: Some Confederate generals counseled Gen. Braxton Bragg to launch an immediate assault on Chattanooga after the victory at Chickamauga. Unsure his army was up to the task, Bragg did not want to rack up more casualties for an objective he believed could be won without fighting. Looking back, we can see that perhaps Bragg should have rolled the dice — or maybe not. In our War of the States: Chickamauga & Chattanooga game, the Assault on Chattanooga scenario lets you explore the alternatives.

Guns of Singapore
21 January 2010: Coastal artillery could not protect Singapore from the Japanese in 1942, but it did deter a landing on or naval bombardment of the island. In our Tiger of Malaya game, however, the Japanese are coming overland from the north, not from the sea. Order Tiger of Malaya today and join the fight for Singapore!

Ships of the Crossroads
20 January 2010: We're about to launch Pacific Crossroads, our new introductory game for the Great War at Sea series. New players will finally have a low-cost entry point to this very popular game series, while veterans will get their hands on some new toys. Today the designer has a look at the ships included in the game, because we know it's all about the toys.

Curse of Turan
19 January 2010: In 1000 A.D., Hungary's King Stephen converted his people to Christianity and, according to legend, a shaman cursed his people for a thousand years. Having backed the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, by 1944 Hungary found itself on the losing side, and the curse lay heavy on the minds of many Hungarians. But with today's variant for our Red Vengeance game, the curse can be broken!

Ruthenia:
A Real Country
18 January 2010: The name sounds like something out of "Prisoner of Zenda," but for a short while in 1939 Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia was an independent state. Today we look at the history of Ruthenia, which actually appears on the map in our Third Reich game.

Malta and the
Summer of 1942
14 January 2010: Our Island of Death game allows players to explore the hypothetical invasion of the island of Malta. Today Brian Knipple offers rules that link Island of Death with our Alamein game to simulate the possible outcome of the original plan and assault Malta before following the retreating British into Egypt.

Tactics in
Elsenborn Ridge
13 January 2010: Today developer Doug McNair takes a look at one of the most intriguing scenarios in Panzer Grenadier: Elsenborn Ridge. Find out how a hastily deployed array of units from U.S. 7th Armored Division fares against a reinforced German Volksgrenadier regiment!

Feedback on Feedback
12 January 2010: Last week, the boss asked for customer feedback. Today he has a partial summary of what's come in so far, with a look at how we make games and how we'll make them in the future. Send in your own ideas; we want to be better in 2010.

Chile's Battleship:
Almirante Latorre
11 January 2010: When Brazil and Argentina bought dreadnought battleships, it seemed inevitable that Chile would have to “answer” with its own purchase. Today we look at the history of Almirante Latorre, which appears our Great War at Sea: Cone of Fire game.

Storm of Ideas
8 January 2010: Retailer Rob Placer (that's his logo below) has a store of hard-won wisdom. Today we're deploying a couple of his principles of sound business, as we seek out customer feedback on our operation. Read the screed and fire back!

Graf Spee’s Cruisers
7 January 2010: Our Great War at Sea: Cruiser Warfare game is built around the attempt by the German East Asia Cruiser Squadron to steam from its isolated base in northern China around the world to Germany. Because we know wargamers like trivia, today we tell you how to adjust the ship speeds.
