American Tank Ace: Europe, 1944-45 is a solitaire tank combat game set in WW2, where the player commands one of 9 models of an M4 Sherman tank or an M26 Pershing. Outgunned, the player must use every trick available to survive in combat against the heavier German tanks while avoiding German AT and Panzerfaust fire. Designed by Gregory M. Smith.

Against the Odds broke new ground with the 2010 Annual. Four Roads to Moscow included four different, complete games from four top designers, each one taking their own approach to cover Barbarossa. There have been “quad games” before, but never like this.

The Winds of War, is the result of a remarkable dare... Designer Richard Berg had challenged people to come up with actual historical battles/campaigns which they did not think could possibly be turned into a game. A panel chose the “winner” and The Winds of War is the astonishing result. (Berg said this was easier than some of the other possibilities!)

This pack includes 2 complete solitaire simulations including 2 maps and full-color die-cut counters.

War With a Vengeance! looks at the two-month V-1 campaign which amounted to a “Second Battle of Britain.” Paul Rohrbaugh’s design pits an escalating level of British air defense against the world’s first “cruise missile,” the “doodle-bugs” that brought high explosives and Hitler’s efforts at “revenge” to southern England at 400 mph.

Shortly after Poland was conquered in 1939, Hitler begin urging an immediate attack in the West. The original plans were uninspiring and his generals feared an attritional stalemate. Over the winter the Germans keep taking the measure of their opponents and hit upon a plan was that inspired, risky, and utterly decisive. Ironic of Hitler to assume his remarkable success was simply the new template for all future campaigns. His eyes turned east....

While the 'Four Roads' Annual issue is Out of Print, you can still get all four games individually. We've grouped them close together, here in the Black Swans pages.

First Strike! is a solitaire game on the Cuxhaven Raid. The active player takes on the role of the commander of the British forces, Admiral Jellicoe, and the rules govern those of the Imperial German Navy and its supporting air forces (aircraft and Zeppelins). Can you do as well or better?

It's "Balck Friday," as in German General Hermann Balck. In the winter of 1942, his crack 11th Panzer Division fought an amazing series of battles along the Chir River in response to the Soviet surprise attacks that surrounded Stalingrad. It has been called one of the finest divisional actions of all time.

Assault on Narvik simulates the Allied siege of Narvik, in northern Norway. The game begins around April 15th, 1940, after the destruction of the German destroyer flotilla by the Royal Navy and the arrival of Allied ground forces.

An LPS bonus mini-game, Terrible Swift Swordfish is a solitaire simulation of the Royal Navy's bold and devastating attack on the ships of the Regia Marina in the port of Taranto during the night of November 11-12, 1940.

By late October of 1777, the British had repulsed the American attack at Germantown, and were occupying Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. American forces still occupied two forts south of the city, blocking the only viable British supply line out to sea via the Delaware River. Plans were made to eliminate these two redoubts. Can you as the American player hold off the Royalist attack on Fort Mercer? Will you as the Hessian take the Rebel stronghold to really secure the American capital and perhaps end the rebellion? Learn and enjoy!
