Another Discovery!
Winter Fury, our game of the 1939 Battle of Tolvajärvi, went out of print several years ago and we’d colored it long gone. Recent warehouse excavation finds that inventory reports of its death were exaggerated. We have a small number of copies without a box for sale, at $9.99 apiece. The game will never be re-printed, so if you missed it, this is truly your last chance.

Airborne’s Last Stand
Panzer Grenadier: Airborne headed for Valhalla some months back. Deep in the warehouse we’ve uncovered a few copies without boxes, and you can grab one now for just $9.99. The game will never be re-printed, so if you missed it, this is truly your last chance.

A New Season
We have a whole new batch of Seasonal Specials! Not only do you get great games at great deals, but they ship together to save you shipping costs. Buy Two, Get a Third Free and Gold Club discounts apply! Today’s Special Spotlight: the Purely Exotic Special – Red Russia, Soldier Kings and Great Pacific War all for $90!

The Avalanche Press site indicates that “every day, the deep discounts get a little less deep” and suggests that you act quickly if you’re interested in these titles.
