NEWS FROM THE FRONT

BATTLEFORCE SATURN 
The game has been released for sale in January. We are sending it out to be reviewed by two game reviewers with good reputations. We are hoping for good reviews before we start approaching publishers.


BATTLE FOR GALLION'S REACH: FLEETS!

The streamlined and simplified combat mechanic for Battle for Gallion's reach is about to undergo testing. If successful the revised game will go back on sale immediately. The new combat eliminated the many separate ship types and the complex and intricate star ship combat system into a simple fleet-based system with simple die rolls. Instead of Cruisers and Destroyers and Leviathans, we will now have BattleFleets, Invasion Fleets, Siege Fleets and Planet Killers. Each type has a specialty, cost value and strength value. Battle Fleets are the cheapest and most common and used solely for ship combat. Invasion Fleets are used primarily for planet invasion but can be used ion combat. In combat they are not as powerful as Battle Fleets but cost more to build. Troops are placed on Invasion Fleets for transport to planets being invaded. Siege Fleets are the most expensive. They are used to utterly wipe out anything on a planets surface including Planetary defenses and armies. They can be used in combat and are more powerful  in combat than both BattleFleets and Invasion Fleets. Finally Planet Killers are moon-sized starships capable of blowing a planet into dust. They are the most powerful ship in the game but the most costly.

This new streamlined system eliminates the clutter of the old system in favor of something more accessible and therefore more fun for a wider group of ages and interests. I believe that this new system will give Battle for Gallion's Reach a significant boost in promotion and sales to a wider customer base.



ATTACK WING CAMPAIGN

Next up will be the free Attack Wing Campaign system that players of the Whizkids' game Star Trek Attack Wing miniatures game can download for free and use to create cannon-historically accurate campaigns of many ships and useful for tournament play. the Campaign will come with PDF files that can be printed like the Campaign Map, and markers as well as the Campaign Book that will provide a list of campaigns taken directly from Star Trek cannon. Each campaign will list the ships to be used and the objectives of the campaign. Campaigns involve multiple star systems and ships over a large area of space.
The intent of the Attack Wing Campaign is to draw potential customers to Power Play Games website. The gamers that play Attack Wing are the very same gamers that would play our games. This will result in increased visibility and traffic to our site.



STAR FLEET ADMIRALS

Another game immediately on the horizon is the war game Star Fleet Admirals. This game puts two players in command of a war effort between the Federation and the Empire. Players assign admirals to sectors and fleets and play Command Cards which allows the movement, combat and actions of the players forces, from star fleets to armies and spies.



ROMAN COMMANDER

Using the basic system of BATTLEFORCE SATURN, players re-enact historical battles between Rome's armies, barbarians and rebel legions. Each card represents a type of unit from Legions, to Cavalry, barbarian warbands, archers and slingers, catapults and bolt throwers, Persian and Hunnic cavalry archers and Carthaginian elephants. Players select an historical commander and place their armies on the table. Using Combat Cards they play attacks and parry defenses to win the vicious battles.
