Battlecry

This is, Foster said, a "more traditional war craft game." It's based on the U.S. Civil War and will accomodate two players, one as the Union and one as the Confederacy. About 15 major scenarios can be set up, with the board being customized for each one by the placement of rivers, buildings, forests and the like.

"It's essentially a mixture of card game play and battling dice," said Foster. "The effects of the dice are modified by various cards. All the pieces are sculpted plastic; you have little calvalry units and all that to move around. You’ve got a table full of stuff when you play."
