Shrapnel Games announced on June 2 that they would be discounting two of their wargame titles:  The Star and the Crescent and War Plan Pacific.

The Star and the Crescent features “the most detailed battlefield maps you’ll ever plan on in a commercial wargame” and very detailed combat.  Reviewers have said that its AI is strong, the manual is comprehensive, and the high degree of customization makes it a gem.  The game allows players to refight key battles of the Yom Kippur War using an enhanced version of the ATF engine.  It also features battles from ‘56, ‘67, and January ‘73, along with two hypothetical future battles set in 2009.  Normally priced at $39.95, it is currently on sale for $33.95.  It is a Windows-only title.

War Plan Pacific puts players in the role of the supreme commanders of either the Japanese or Allied forces fighting for dominance of the Pacific during the Second World War.  Players command the historical air, naval, and (abstractly) ground forces that fought in these battles.  It is a Windows-only title.  Normally priced at $39.95, it is currently on sale for $33.95.
