TIGER LEADER!

http://www.dvg.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/72/Tiger%20Leader

THE CARDS OF CTHULHU

Is at the printer! If you would like to

receive the pre-order price, please pre-

order soon!


BATTLE FOR STALINGRAD

Should arrive from the printer in a couple

weeks!


HUEY LEADER

Continues to pick-up pre-orders! Thank

you!


HORNET LEADER - THE CTHULHU CONFLICT

A bad update. There was a printing error

on the Target cards. We are working out

the messy details with the printer now of

who did what wrong, and that will no doubt

take a while.

In the mean time, we ordered a rush

printing and shipping of replacement card

decks and they just arirved.

To receive a replacement deck, please

email us at:
customerservice (at) dvg (dot) com

If you 'd like to place an order at the

same time, that would be really helpful in

covering the mailing charges, and I'd

really appreciate it. :)

Sorry about the hassle. I guess the Old

Ones still have some wrath left in their

slimy tentacles.

Dan, I'm quite interested in Tiger Leader but at $71.99 (pre-order price at that!), it's fairly steep in price.  I'm sure that it's worth it but if you had a gameplay video or even some AAR's of game play, that would go a long ways to helping me make a decision to pull the trigger on this one.  Thanks!

^^Is there a map? Is it anything like Patton's Best with cards? I'm interested as well but I agree with Gary- I would like to see it in action. (please? :) )

I think that I paid $25 for Patton's Best back in the early 90's; maybe less!  Fun game.  I always thought that they should make a PC version of this.  Nowadays, a tablet version would be perfect come to think of it.  Come on you hobby programmer's, the AI is built in already!

There were mods putting you in the commanders cupola of a T-34 of assorted flavors (Stalin's Best) and a Pz4 but I was never able to track down the latter.

I'm wanting to say that I have heard of "Stalin's Best", but haven't seen or played that variant.  Never even seen Pz4.

My interest renewed, I took a look at the Boardgamegeek and found this:

Guderian's Best

No joy on Stalin's Best though. Maybe it actually has a different name- Zukov's Best or something?

Downloading now.  I'll see about modding (or creating from scratch) a ZunTzu gamebox for it. 

Dan V: Still interested in learning more about Tiger Leader!

How long will this be available for pre-order? I want in but need to spread my gaming expenses out.

This last month has been ridiculous for new releases and pre-orders arriving.

Wow! Thank you for all the interest in Tiger Leader! If you are familiar with Thunderbolt-Apache Leader and Hornet Leader, it is similar to those games. You command a group of units and you select from tanks, assault guns, field guns, infantry, etc. You then engage in battles toward a campaign objective.

The combat itself takes place on large hex terrain counters like Thunderbolt.

I should be able to get some game play videos up in the coming weeks. :)

Now that you've mentioned it having a good mix of unit types (and not just some "Tiger Porn"), my interest is also piqued.

Would like to see that preview!

What's the post release price going to be?
