Here’s the latest news from Decision Games, as of 5 Dec 23:

Now available

Axis Empires Ultimate Edition is the final evolution of our popular series of strategic games on the global struggles of 1937 to 1945 and beyond. Inside are the newest editions of both Totaler Krieg and Dai Senso. TK covers the war in Europe, while DS does the same for Asia and the Pacific. Each game is individually playable as a standalone event, or players can combine them to cover all of World War II. Both have been thoroughly updated for historicity, game balance, and ease of play. All components received a refreshing makeover to improve the look and feel of the game and we’ve added many new counters and 200 new cards!

Sealion Deluxe Edition simulates a hypothetical invasion of England in September 1940. The British have lost the aerial Battle over Britain but the RAF fights on, and the Home Fleet can threaten German landings and supply lines in the English Channel. The game incorporates an unabstracted level of detail, including air, naval and land operations. On the ground, the Germans have operational superiority, but the British Army can rely on interior lines of communication and defensible terrain, including a crude network of hastily constructed fortifications.

Go to the DG shop for more information and how to order.

Thank you to all the volunteers who have tested our games. Contact Doc at doccummins@decisiongames.com if interested.

     We’ve just added another group of volunteers to our play test pool, but there is always room for more! In general, we need at least four play test sessions over an eight-week period to play the game and provide a summary of questions, clarifications, and play balance comments. Send an e-mail Doc at doccummins@decisiongames.com with your contact info and preferences.

VASSAL modules

Our Vassal section is growing and now has over 150 modules total. We are adding modules on a regular basis from both our dedicated group of module creators as well as outside submissions. Please click here for an update on our progress and to visit our module page.

We have finished over 100 magazine game play test modules and are looking for testers for upcoming games. We’ve made the process easy by setting up a separate page with all of the modules (and brief game descriptions) available for play test and an easy registration process to receive them. We’d appreciate your input on these games so they will be even better!
