We hear from Multiman publishing that they are adding new games to their sales line: 1) Up Front -- This WWII squad level card game is currently out of print. Work with prolific gamers/designers Don Hawthorne, Andrew Maly, Ralph Norton and others has been ongoing. We're pleased to announce plans to issue an updated and revised edition of Up Front. Possibilities for inclusion are; the Finns, Hungarians, Romanians and others. A cleaned up; rewritten (and simplified) rulebook with a step by step approach to teaching the game system. The game as you knew it won't change, but new artwork should certainly enhance the fun of thebest WWII card game ever offered. Plans for a 'collectible' card game version are also in the works. 2) Great Campaigns fo the American Civil War -- Joe Balkoski and Ed Beach are currently working on the 7th module to this fantastic Civil War gaming system. Due out sometime in 2000, Grant Takes Command (tentative title) will extend the series. 3) Panzerblitz and Panzer Leader -- These two titles are almost out of print. Both need a major facelift, maybe new artwork and possible expansion modules. Most of MMP (and many other historical board-gamers) cut their teeth with these titles and we are actively exploring their future. 4) Area Movement Series (Storm Over Arnhem/Thunder At Cassino/Turning Point Stalingrad/Breakout Normandy)- Breakout Normandy is the only title left in stock amongst these 4 games in the area movement series. Product demand will certainly dictate which of these might/will get reprinted. Having said that, the gaming system itself lends to a lot more topics than the ones currently in circulation and MMP will seek to offer new modules. 5) Across 5 Aprils -- Still in stock and available. We are interested in expanding this game into its own series and will begin work on a 2nd module when the 'team' to do so is completed and in place. 6) Patton's Best -- WW2 solo tank warfare, still available. We are excited about the possibilities for expansion of this title to cover more theatres and time periods and will also be searching for a 'team' of folks to aid in the design of future expansion modules for Pattons Best. 7) Brittania-Maharaja A line of games we are also contemplating expansion for. 8) Wrasslin' - to be announced. Multiman announced also a web site with better data in the future.
