http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/disp.php?menu=2&sub=nHannibal: Rome vs CarthageDirect link :
http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=3627 The second Punic (or Hannibalic) War (218-201) was the inevitable return match between Rome and Carthage (the former colony of Phoenician Tyre) for control of the western Mediterranean.
The completion of the conquest of Italy south of the Po valley had brought the Roman Republic face to face with Carthaginian power in Sicily, and security concerns almost immediately led to war over the island. Although possessing no navy and taking on the premier naval power in the Mediterranean, the Romans neverthless managed to defeat Carthage in the First Punic War (264-241) and take possession of Sicily, their first extra-Italian acquisition. Carthage remained, however a major power, controlling western North Africa, the coast of Spain and the remaining islands in the west.
In late summer 281, Hannibal Barca crossed the Pyrenees with some 50,000 foot, 9000 horse and perhaps 37 elephants. Despite help from his Gallic allies, battles and the rigors of the march itself left him with some 20,000 foot, 6000 horse and possibly a few elephants by the time he descended into the Po valley near the end of 218. There, however, he was immediately joined by tens of thousands of Gauls who had settled in the region two centuries earlier. This Gallic sword-fodder allowed Hannibal to preserve his precious and better-trained Iberians and Africans for the battles to follow.
Hannibal, one of the greatest military commanders and tacticians in history descends on the Roman Empire once again. Do you face him as Rome and try to ward the invasion that comes from the North, or do you climb atop your war elephant and show Rome you will take that which they hold most dear: their territory.
This is a reprint of a very popular Avalon Hill version from 1996 using the popular card driven system to recount the Second Punic War from 218 to 201 BC. Players use strategic level cards for multiple purposes: moving generals, levying new troops, reinforcing existing armies, gaining political control of the provinces involved in the war, and generating historical events. When two armies meet on the battlefield, a second set of cards, called Battle Cards, are used to determine the victor. This is not a wargame, but a game about political control of the Western Mediterranean where the winner will be the player who best uses their resources to control the political map at game end.

Le HavreDirect link :
http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=4094 Le Havre is a game about managing a Harbour, building ships and constructing buildings.
On each turn, players must decide whether to take goods of one type or to carry out a building action.
The number of goods on offer varies from turn to turn. New goods of each kind are added regularly, building up until a player takes them. Wood clay and iron are building resources. Fish, grain and cattle are used to feed your dock workers. Actions in buildings allow goods to be upgraded - just turn the tokens over to show the reverse side.
Wood, for example, can be upgraded to charcoal in the Kiln. Where once it could have been used as a building resource, not it supplies more energy. Energy is required, for example to upgrade clay to brick in the Brickworks. And the Kiln and Brickworks are just two of the 33 buildings found in Le Havre. An additional 36 Special buildings, of which only a very few are used in each game, make each game new and different.
Players need to build Wooden, Iron and Steel ships at a Wharf in time to meet their food needs, which increase from round to round. With the exception of Luxury liners, ships provide food in every round. Players with ships can also use the Shipping Line to sell goods.
Players can also use their currency (Francs) to buy ships and buildings. These can either be built with raw resources or be bought with cash. Any player may enter any building. Many buildings require an entry fee to be paid, usually with food.
At the end of the game, the player with the largest fortune is the winner. This is the total of the player's cash and the value of his or her ships and buildings. Le Havre can be played by 1-5 players, either in a shortened version or as a full game (duration 100-200 minutes, less in the shortened version), ensuring that it provides the right level of challenge for any game table.

Hold the Line: Frederick's WarDirect link :
http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=7738 Hold the Line comes to the wars of Europe in the Age of Reason with Frederick's War. When Frederick II led his army into Silesia a long duel began between a still fragile Prussia and the first class power that was Austria. Featured here are eight battles from the fearsome contest: Mollwitz, Choutusitz, Hohenfriedburg, Kesselsdorf, Kolin, Leuthen, Hockkirk, and Liegnitz. The game closely aligns with the Hold the Line system, but includes more advanced command rules, more detailed cavalry rules, optional rules for each warring nation's units, and much more.
The Prussian army is well drilled and led by a bevy of talented generals, including Schwerin, Zieten, Leopold von Dessau, and of course Frederick the Great. The Austrian army is slightly weaker, but is aided by fearsome light infantry units and in later scenarios are led by such capable commanders a Daun and Loudon.
As Prussia can you humble the Austrians and make your kingdom a first-class power? As Austria can you weather the Prussian storm and halt the first steps towards decline? The enemy approaches, the sound of cannon deafens, men shout commands, smoke fills the air. You must HOLD THE LINE!
