Introductions and overviews to many classics SPI games on this list. Think of it as a curated list of videos worth watching to learn about these great games. (New ones added all the time.) |
|
| Learning Terrible Swift Sword / GBACW! | Learning TSS / GBACW version 1 - a series of slides on PDF and on VIDEO! |
| TSS/GBACW Free Downloads | Lots of free items for Terrible Swift Sword and other Great Battles of the American Civil War games known as GBACW! |
| TSS/GBACW Stories and Discussions | Stories from the Designers, Developers, and Playtesters of TSS/GBACW |

| Victory Point Excel Sheets | Monmouth, Cedar Mountain, Pea Ridge, and more! Tracks VPs and calculates current victory standing, BCE levels, etc. |
I am trying to get to a set of pages for every SPI game - like these:
Terrible Swift Sword | Wellington's Victory |
I would enjoy discussions of the games, with tactics you've tried and results you achieved.
Here is an example of that with SPI's Terrible Swift Sword / GBACW series:
I also have an opponent's wanted section for TSS/GBACW, but it could be expanded to all SPI games.
But there is much more to be done! However, this is my Christmas present to all of you. Explore the site, and let me know what you think.
And good gaming!
