http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=7291 The War: Europe 1939-1945 is Compass Games' new World War II strategic level game combining the best features of the genre into an intuitive, challenging new game. While offering all the expansive features of the WWII Monster Game genre (such as U-Boat warfare, diplomacy, espionage, strategic bombing, jets, rockets and numerous variants for each Major Power), The War also offers scenarios of unprecedented scope. Players can explore a huge array of what-ifs, such as: What-if Germany had won the Stalingrad campaign? What-if D-Day had been launched a year earlier? What-if Germany had developed strategic bombers like the American B-17?
The War offers the serious WWII history buff the chance to re-fight all the major campaigns of the European theatre in a realistic historical context. But even for strategy gamers who care more about pure gaming fun than historical simulations, The War offers scenarios that can be learned quickly and played in an evening. Luck is important in The War, but superior strategy even more so.
Although the game is the result of extensive research by its designer, it is not intended to be a pure simulation; instead you will find a gamer's game with user-friendly combat systems on land, in the air, and at sea. From the convoy battle in the Arctic to the struggle for the North African desert, The War is both realistic and playable. If you want a rewarding challenge for the gaming veteran and pure gaming fun for the novice, The War is a game to own.
Panic on Wall StreetDirect link :
http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=7275 PANIC ON WALL STREET! is an asymmetric party game for experienced players. Businessmen and investors will confront each other, will face off, and will try to tame one another in their attempts to gain the most money during noisy selling and buying phases, before the market turns in its verdict, raining riches on some, turning others out onto the street.
But PANIC ON WALL STREET! is mostly a violent, brutal, unjust, hazardous, and trying game where economy, speculation and the stock market are nothing more than an excuse.
It's a game about life, a game whose sole purpose isn't only to reproduce the mechanics of wild speculation, but also to unearth the filthy, greedy and twisted behaviours which are buried in all of us.

Core Worlds: Galactic OrdersDirect link :
http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=7280 The GUARDIAN REALM has collapsed! As a barbarian STAR EMPIRE on the fringes of the galaxy, you must seize this opportunity to lead your kingdom to greatness. As you travel through the sectors of the galaxy towards the core, you will draft new technologies in the form of ships, vehicles, and robots, as well as recruit new infantry and heroes into your empire, preparing your forces for the final strike at the CORE WORLDS themselves.
However, the six GALACTIC ORDERS of the REALM still exist, and they continue to wield tremendous power. Your fledgling EMPIRE must forge alliances with these powerful organizations, calling upon their aid when needed... or drawing upon their influence in the final push to assume the mantle of galactic supremacy!
CORE WORLDS: GALACTIC ORDERS is the highly anticipated first expansion to the one of the galaxy's hottest new deck-building games! In this expansion, players will add Faction Tokens to the six Galactic Order Cards, each of which represents an organization that has maintained its independence in the midst of a crumbling empire. The tokens on each card can then be used to gain an immediate advantage granted by that Order, or they can be saved up to provide Empire Points at the end of the game.
CORE WORLDS: GALACTIC ORDERS provides players with a greater variety of play and adds new tactical and strategic options to the game.
The six Galactic Orders were represented in the core set by the six Prestige Cards: the Galactic Senate, the Science Guild, the Merchant Alliance, the Mining Coalition, the Order of Knighthood, and the Mystic Brotherhood. The CORE WORLDS expansion focuses on these six independent organizations and their influence upon a galaxy at war.
Components:
93 Cards
6 large Galactic Order Cards
126 Faction Tokens
5 Raven Tokens
1 Rulebook
and a custom cardboard insert to hold these components and all the components from the base game of CORE WORLDS!

Arsuf: Lionheart vs Saladin Folio Game (Ziplock)Direct link :
http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=7292 As the Third Crusade drags on, the Crusaders can make no headway to reach the Levantine interior against Saladin's highly mobile Arab army; but Saladin cannot generate enough power to break the Crusaders and recapture coastal cities. In the summer of 1191, Richard the Lionheart leads a Crusader army south along the coast, intending eventually to turn east toward Jerusalem. Saladin, hoping to catch the Crusaders strung out on the march - as he had done four years earlier at Hattin - prepares to launch a strike near the ruined city of Jaffa. But, Richard, anticipating the attack, musters his army in a tight formation but continues to march nonetheless. On the morning of 7 September, Saladin strikes.
Arsuf uses the new Battles of the Medieval World system, a variation on the venerable Battle of the Ancient World system. The battle is dominated by masses of heavy cavalry and disciplined lines of heavily-armed and armoured men-at-arms. Swirling around these forces are masses of foot- and horse-archers, whose purpose is to disrupt the heavy formations to make them easy prey for their counterparts. Using the classic Combat Results Table, the fighting is close and bloody until the morale of one side weakens. Once a line breaks, the victor must pursue ruthlessly to prevent a rally. Leaders enhance combat power and restore broken formations.
Arsuf is a contest of nimble Arab archers against stout Crusader men-at-arms, backed by the cream of European chivalry. Victory will go to the player who deploys to best utilize his strengths and take advantage of enemy weakensses.

Khyber Rifles: Britannia in AfghanistanDirect link :
http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=7293 Britannia in Afghanistan
In 1842 Afghan rebels destroyed a British army as it tried to fight its way from Kabul to the safety of the Khyber Pass. The British launched an expedition to avenge the defeat, and that led to another campaign in Central Asia's Great Game. Khyber Rifles is a two-player game of that fateful year in Afghanistan.
One player commands British forces, including the regiments and battalions forming the armies of Gens. Nott, Pollock and Elphinstone. The point-to-point map covers eastern Afghanistan and India's Northwest Frontier area, including the famous Khyber Pass.
Khyber Rifles is part of the Hand of Destiny mini-game series. Each player has a unique deck of Campaign Cards. They generate movement abilities, combat bonuses and historical events. Accessing the right card at the right time lets the player concentrate forces to win that great victory against all odds - or perhaps go down to inglorious defeat. Some of the cards include: Ambush, Jirga Loya, Mad Dash and Relief Force.
Combat is resolved via a quasi-tactical procedure. There are special rules for: elite British units, fanatic Afghan Ghazis, camp followers, Shah Shujah's army, and irregular units such as Broadfoot's Pioneers.
