Read Against the Odds

Against the Odds magazine investigates military history from a broad perspective. The economic, political, religious and social aspects of warfare are examined in concert with events on the battlefield.

Each issue of ATO features:

Informative and insightful articles showcasing the history behind events, plus regular columns by noted game designers providing insight on the latest trends and events.

A challenging, fun wargame that drops the players into truly desperate situations but gives them multiple options to alter history.

Professionally printed graphics, complete with large playing map and 200 to 360 die cut playing pieces.

And much more! Look for Against the Odds to cover simulation design issues, order of battle research, rule writing, play testing and graphic techniques as it evolves. Get yourself truly "connected" with games and gaming by reading Against the Odds!

It's Charlie's Year Once More at Against the Odds


Greetings,

We rarely publish one newsgram right after another but immediately after sending out our last one, it was announced the Charles S Roberts Awards were being restarted after a 7 year hiatus. One of the premiere awards in the industry, the CSR recognize real excellence in game design, graphics, and military history analysis and writing.

But in all cases, voting ends at the end of May, so don’t miss your chance to make your mark!
