Classic History: A Turning Point in Game Simulation
Most gamers are familiar with Mitchell and Creasy's classic of military history, Twenty Decisive Battles of the World.
We thought it would be particularly great to be able to game all 20 of those battles.
Now you can.
The people who bring you Against the Odds Magazine now have a sister company, Turning Point Simulations, that's created a new sort of gaming experience...classy, rather small, boxed, mounted boards or quality playing cards...all games with low complexity but high challenge and play value.
All 20 of the book's battles, from Marathon to Stalingrad, have been published. Available individually, or choose to collect them 2 or 3 at a time using our Special Offers.
Some of the games come from the "hall of fame" of game designers—Berg, Markham, Prados. Others come from those who have proven themselves with a few quality designs over the past 15-20 years, like Mark McLaughlin and Ed Wimble, while still other designs come from strong up-and-comers, like Hjalmar Gerber or Lembit Tohver.
These games all have distinct designs—there is no single "Decisive Battles" ruleset that gets modified 20 different ways. But they all share some common goals... interest...playability...quality components. While the series will be aimed to "look" like a series (and look sharp on a bookshelf), these games are all meant to be played.
Take a look through our site. Look over the on-line rules and sample components. We look forward to hearing from you with your questions and interests. Check out our TPS forum on Consimworld for chat. Join us there...

It's here. Climb aboard and enjoy the whole ride.
