This book is the second supplement for Konflikt ’47 and seeks to expand the game’s boundaries further by introducing more units, forces and army build options. The largest section of this supplement introduces the divided nation of Italy, with the forces of the Royalist Co-Belligerent Italian Army (Eserciti Cobelligerante Italiano or ECI), fighting their former allies, the German Wehrmacht. Mussolini’s remaining forces, the Fascist National Republican Army (Esercito Nazionale Repubblicano or ENR) hold the north of the country propped-up by the German military machine. As in the previous supplement, we have looked at some of the existing rules that needed refinement, and have introduced further rules to allow the use of more elite and specialised units. Players of the existing five core armies will also find something new for them as well, with each nation getting some new units from their respective Rift-tech laboratories. The book is divided into four sections, the first covers the new rules and errata, as well as the rules for national variations on the standard Reinforced Platoon structures in Konflikt ’47. The second introduces the fractured nation of Italy, with both some expanded history and the details of its forces. Then we turn to the new units of the existing nations before the final section presents additional information on the Konflikt ’47 setting, including a small mini-campaign that is set firmly in the Konflikt ’47 alternate history. Please note: One copy of the Konflikt '47 Defiance Supplement in English supplied.

As the wars of Napoleon ravage Europe, chaos and fear reign and the darkness that once clung to the shadows has been emboldened. Supernatural creatures – vampires, werewolves, ghouls, and worse take advantage of the havoc, striking out at isolated farms, villages, and even military units. Whether they are pursuing some master plan or simply revelling in their newfound freedom is unknown. Most people dismiss reports of these slaughters as the rantings of madmen or the lies of deserters, but a few know better…The Silver Bayonet is a skirmish wargame of gothic horror set during the Napoleonic Wars. Each player forms an elite band of monster hunters drawn from the ranks of one of the great powers. Riflemen, swordsmen, and engineers fight side-by-side with mystics, occultists, and even those few supernatural creatures that can be controlled or reasoned with enough to make common cause. The game can be played solo, co-operatively, or competitively, with players progressing through a series of interlinked adventures with their soldiers gaining experience and suffering grievous wounds, and their units triumphing… or falling in the face of the shadows. It is a game of action and adventure, where musket and sabre meet tooth and claw. Bones of Albion Britain faces invasion and conquest – from Napoleon and from the undead – in this supplement for The Silver Bayonet, featuring a competitive campaign and a horde of new monsters.As the spectre of invasion looms from across the Channel, the ghosts of Britain's ancient past return to haunt the living. Centuries ago, as the Romans advanced across the land, a desperate druid attempted to wield a terrible power to curse the invaders… but the spell failed, Rome claimed another province, and the magic lay dormant. Now, as preparations are made for Napoleon's seemingly inevitable arrival on these shores, labourers have uncovered a mysterious black stone and unleashed that fell curse. From Shetland to the Kentish coast, the undead of Britain's past – Saxons, Vikings, Normans, and others – rise to march and conquer once more.The Bones of Albion brings the action of The Silver Bayonet to the British Isles, a land under siege from both without and within. In a competitive campaign, specialist units will be called upon to investigate increasingly disturbing reports of restless ghosts and revenants. Faced with rival units and a bestiary of menacing foes, they must discover why the dead are rising in such numbers and put a stop to it before Britain falls before a horde of the undead… Product details Published 25 Sep 2025 Format Paperback Edition 1st Extent 64 ISBN 9781472869357 Imprint Osprey Games Dimensions 242 x 190 mm Series The Silver Bayonet Publisher Bloomsbury Publishing

The Ghost Archipelago has returned. A vast island chain, covered in the ruins of ancient civilizations, the Archipelago appears every few centuries, far out in the southern ocean. At such times, pirates, adventurers, wizards, and legendary heroes all descend upon the islands in the hopes of finding lost treasures and powerful artefacts. A few, drawn by the blood of their ancestors, search for the fabled Crystal Pool, whose waters grant abilities far beyond those of normal men. It is only the bravest, however, who venture into the islands, for they are filled with numerous deadly threats. Cannibal tribes, sorcerous snake-men, and poisonous water-beasts all inhabit the island ruins, guarding their treasure hordes and setting traps for the unwary.In this new wargame, set in the world of Frostgrave, players take on the role of Heritors, mighty warriors whose ancestors drank from the Crystal Pool. These Heritors lead their small, handpicked teams of spellcasters, rogues, and treasure hunters into the ever-shifting labyrinth of the Ghost Archipelago. Using the same rules system as Frostgrave, this standalone wargame focuses on heroes who draw on the power in their blood to perform nigh-impossible feats of strength and agility. This game also includes 30 spells drawn from five schools of magic, a host of soldier types, challenging scenarios, treasure tables, and a full bestiary of the most common creatures that inhabit the Lost Isles.

As the wars of Napoleon ravage Europe, chaos and fear reign and the darkness that once clung to the shadows has been emboldened. Supernatural creatures – vampires, werewolves, ghouls, and worse take advantage of the havoc, striking out at isolated farms, villages, and even military units. Whether they are pursuing some master plan or simply revelling in their newfound freedom is unknown. Most people dismiss reports of these slaughters as the rantings of madmen or the lies of deserters, but a few know better…The Silver Bayonet is a skirmish wargame of gothic horror set during the Napoleonic Wars. Each player forms an elite band of monster hunters drawn from the ranks of one of the great powers. Riflemen, swordsmen, and engineers fight side-by-side with mystics, occultists, and even those few supernatural creatures that can be controlled or reasoned with enough to make common cause. The game can be played solo, co-operatively, or competitively, with players progressing through a series of interlinked adventures with their soldiers gaining experience and suffering grievous wounds, and their units triumphing… or falling in the face of the shadows. It is a game of action and adventure, where musket and sabre meet tooth and claw.

A supplement for Stargrave that explores the ideas of artificial intelligence run amok, soulless cyborg killers, and cyberpunk hacking.Welcome to the Outlaw Technology Sector, a vast region of space cut off from the rest of the Ravaged Galaxy. Once a haven to criminals, political dissidents, and rogue scientists, it was overrun by an artificial intelligence intent on wiping out all organic life. Only through the combined might of the pre-Last War great empires was this menace brought down, and their retribution was terrible. Now the Outlaw Technology Sector is a dead place, a nightmare place. Navigational systems refuse to chart a course there, calling such paths 'death vectors'. But the independent crews survive by going where others fear to tread, and the Sector contains technology not found anywhere else…Death Vector is a supplement for Stargrave, containing 8 new scenarios set inside the Outlaw Technology Sector. Instead of the pirate fleets, the players contend with the legions of cyborg automatons that still prowl the region, hunting organic life. Paired with these scenarios is a new campaign element, 'The Network', which brings cyberpunk hacking into the game. This book also includes a new space encounters table to be used for adventures in the OTS, a new advanced technology table, and a bestiary filled with cybernetic horrors.

Stargrave. Science Fiction Wargames in the Ravaged Galaxy. In a galaxy torn apart by the Last War, vast pirate fleets roam from system to system, robbing, extorting, and enslaving. Amidst this chaos, thousands of independent operators - smugglers, relic hunters, freedom fighters, and mercenaries - roam the dead stars in small ships, scratching out a living any way they can. In Stargrave, players take on the role of one of these independent operators, choosing from a range of backgrounds each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and associated powers. Next, players must hire a crew for their ship, recruiting a lieutenant with a unique skill-set and a handful of soldiers, mechanics, hackers, and other specialists. Some captains may even recruit strange alien lifeforms with abilities no humanoid could ever possess. Once the players' crews are assembled, they are ready to dive into a campaign. Over a series of games, their crews will have the chance to carry out a variety of missions - recovering lost technology, stealing data, freeing slaves, and fighting back against the pirate fleets. In time, as the crews gain experience, they will become more powerful and hire more talented specialists. The more they grow, however, the more likely it is that a pirate fleet will take note of their activities and come after them!

A new revised and expanded edition of the popular wargame Burrows & Badgers. The Kingdom of Northymbra is a land in turmoil. King Redwulf is missing, and his son rules as regent in his stead, facing threats from within and without: growing dissention among the knights and nobles of the realm, whispers of revolution from the Freebeasts, Hillfolk raiding the borders, and bandits of all stripes making the most of the chaos. Burrows & Badgers: Second Edition is a revised and expanded version of the popular tabletop skirmish game set in the ancient realm of Northymbra, a kingdom where mice, badgers, toads, and other animals wear armour, wield swords, and cast magic spells. This updated edition contains new content including additional background material, new species, warband types and a whole host of new spells, skills, and equipment. Each model in Burrows & Badgers: Second Edition represents an individual character, and can be selected from a wide range of species – from the humble mouse to the mighty badger – and armed and equipped as desired. Scenarios link into ongoing campaigns, where heroes and villains may make their names and the assistance of infamous mercenaries might mean the difference between victory and defeat. Lead your warband from battle to battle, and uphold the name of your faction, whether you stand with Reinert's Royalists, the Freebeasts of the Fox Families, or simply for your own glory or survival.
