(NEW) Americans at War PBG Pack
Learn how America became a country "born of war".
From single jet fighter duels to the entire American Civil War, Against the Odds lets you explore five complete actions across the breath of American history.
Yes, instead of just ONE "post card" sized game, this set includes FIVE separate PBGs depicting actions from individual battles up to entire wars across the span of US history.
Here is what you get!
Guarding the Land - A look at one of the last British successes in America, the taking of Ft. Griswold in 1781. In his last combat action of the war, turncoat Benedict Arnold, in overall command of British forces, directed this raid on his home state of Connecticut. Historically, the Americans were quickly routed and there were claims of a massacre by the British. A hundred years later, the poem Guarding the Land was written to commemorate the event.
The Union Forever! - It was a war so grand in cause, so vast in theater, and so bitter was the shadow cast on the hearts of its participants that we argue over it to this day. A great deal was settled, and a greater deal was left unsettled. Yes, Against the Odds brings you the entire American Civil War…on a postcard! Get yours today.
"Morgan's a' Comin'!" - Rebel raider John H. Morgan defies orders, crossing the Ohio River in the summer of 1863 to bring war to the Yankees! All across the Midwest his incursion results in numerous alarms, property damage, and Union fears that he will link up with Robert E. Lee. While the raid succeeds in diverting a small Union army away from Bragg, the fierce pace and determined Union resistance wears the invaders away to little more than a small band, all being captured in the end. Could Morgan have tipped the balance on not one, but two fronts? Find out with "Morgan's a' Comin'!".
Goto Hell - In the pre-dawn darkness of June, 1944, Japan's Col. Goto launches a massive (by Japanese standards) armored attack against the US Marines on Saipan. All but one of his 44 tanks were wrecks by morning. Marines joked that Japan's T-97 tanks were nothing more than "kitchen sinks."
Showtime Hanoi - US F-4 Phantoms and NVA MiGs clash over North Vietnam as Randy Cunningham and Willy Driscoll do battle with the famous (yet mysterious) NVA ace, Colonel Tomb. Yes, Against the Odds brings you a complete air battle on a postcard with Showtime Hanoi.
