GMT Games and designer Mark Miklos are happy to announce the long awaited and much anticipated second Tri-Pack in the award-winning Battles of the American Revolution series. You spoke, and we listened. Hundreds of players responded to polls conducted on various social media and other sites, and the votes are in. You asked for Monmouth Courthouse, Germantown, and Newtown to be included in American Revolution Tri-Pack #2, and we are proud to bring them to you.
All games will feature hard-mounted maps and the deluxe, thick-cut counters that are the hallmark of GMT quality components. Player aids and rulebooks will be printed in color. Each game will feature all replacement counters that have been issued for it over the years, so your sets will be the most complete and up to date available.
New features will include a 1-page matrix-style player aid listing all the unique capabilities for the Indian player in Newtown, making it easier to keep up with those capabilities without having to refer to the rule book. The Battle of Oriskany, the bonus game included with Newtown, features a new scenario in which General Benedict Arnold leads a relief force to the rescue of Fort Stanwix and introduces opportunity cards to the game for the first time. Also included in the Tri-Pack is the Solitaire Tactics Card player aid designed by Joel Toppen that was released in C3i magazine Nr 22. Players have found this tool most helpful when playing BoAR games solitaire. Finally, the Germantown rulebook will receive a needed upgrade to clarify some ambiguities in the original rule set.Just as with the first Tri-Pack that featured Saratoga, Brandywine, and Guilford Courthouse/Eutaw Springs, players will get three titles that actually include four distinct battles with multiple scenarios. This is a real value and an excellent way to complete or upgrade your collection. American Revolution Tri-Pack #2 will afford you hours upon hours of replay value as you chase the secret sauce of complete victory in these classic American Revolutionary War battles.
