After years of fighting in North Africa and the Far East the British Army set foot back in Europe with the invasion of Sicily and Italy. In 1944 they spearheaded the D-Day landings in Normandy before pushing on into the German homeland and ultimate victory. British soldiers made good use of the water-cooled Vickers machine gun - the same weapon their fathers use in the Great War - and the 3" mortar.Contains: 2 officers 1 Medic 1 Forward Observer 1 medium mortar team 1 Vickers MMG team Bases Models supplied unassembled and unpainted

Konflikt '47 is the game of heroes, horrors, monsters, and mechs, putting players in command of the nightmarish struggle for supremacy as the world is torn apart and remade in blood and crackling energy. Fast-paced, action-packed gameplay provides countless cinematic moments, with fluctuating Rift energies and the ever-present fog of war ensuring that no two games are ever the same, and the outcome is never guaranteed. Heroes and villains on each side lend their unique abilities to turn the tide of battle, as mechs and monsters face off in brutal contests of flesh versus steel. Defend the Commonwealth! The opening of the Rifts has inured the people of Britain and its many overseas territories to new hardships of war. Enduring, British resolve is now at an all time high, and they stand ready to unleash their own new weapons of war upon the dread force of the Axis and the Empire of Japan. This starter army is the perfect way to begin a British Commonwealth collection for Konflikt '47, arming you with a battle-ready force complete with Order and Rift Dice. Central to this force is an Assault Platoon comprised of two squads of Automated Infantry, a Mk I squad laying down a heavy weight of fire thanks to their MMGs, supported and uplifted by their heavy Mk II cousins, whose mere presence nearby improves their accuracy. Both units are immune to the psychological horrors of war and are implacable in the face of defeat. They are well supported by a power-armoured squad of human Galahad infantry. A Platoon Commander, exclusive to this set, leads this platoon from the front, armed with a personal Tesla Rifle. Backing them up is an Armoured Platoon, headed up by the new Percival Assault Walker. Packing an M17 Tesla Cannon and a Rocket system, it is a serious threat to anything that opposes it. A Humber Mk VII, fitted with the latest in auto-computational assistance and mounting twin automatic-cannons can fire on the move without penalty, and acts as an ideal supporting unit, using its mobility to quickly get where its most needed.

Calico is a puzzly tile-laying game of quilts and cats. In Calico, players compete to sew the coziest quilt as they collect and place patches of different colors and patterns. Each quilt has a particular pattern that must be followed, and players are also trying to create color and pattern combinations that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also able to attract the cuddliest cats! Turns are simple. Select a single patch tile from your hand and sew it into your quilt, then draw another patch into your hand from the three available. If you are able to create a color group, you may sew a button onto your quilt. If you are able to create a pattern combination that is attractive to any of the cats, it will come over and curl up on your quilt! At the end of the game, you score points for buttons, cats, and how well you were able to complete your unique quilt pattern. —description from the publisher

In Camel Up: Off Season, each of the 3-5 players has their own caravan of four camels that can carry goods, with the camels being able to carry 3, 4, 5, and 6 goods. Goods come in four types — carpets, vases, dates, and (non-date) fruit — and these goods will be available at markets, with one more market in play than the number of players. Each double-sided market indicates how many face-up and face-down cards are placed there, in addition to the special power of that market. At the start of a round, players bid to see who selects goods first from a market, with the bidding rules being set by the back of the topmost goods card in the deck. Whoever wins the bid pays their money to the bank, while everyone else keeps their coins. (Coins are victory points, so you might not want to throw away too many of them!) The winning bidder chooses a market, uses the power of that market (if they wish), then takes all of the goods from that market, flips them face up (if needed), then loads the goods on their camels. A camel can hold goods of only one type, and if a goods type is on a camel, then you must continue placing that good on the same camel. Each camel has a goods limit, however, and if you exceed that limit, then you must throw away all of that type of good. Each other player in clockwise order then chooses an unchosen market, optionally uses its power, and collects and loads its goods. Each player then has the option of selling goods from at most one camel, with each type of goods paying out in different ways: Dates: Cards show 1-4 dates, and the more you sell at once, the more money you receive. Carpets: Cards come in six colors, and you can't sell the same color twice in a batch. Again, the more you sell at once, the better. Vases: Cards come in three types (with some overlap), and you can sell only one shape at a time Fruit: Cards come in four types worth different amounts, and you can sell only the lowest-valued fruit. Place a 1 coin on the unchosen market, flip all the other markets, refill those markets with cards, then start the next round. When the deck runs out, complete one more round — selling once from each of your camels — then whoever has the most money wins
