This Week’s Headline:

Newly Released This Week:
- Compass Games is planning to ship An Attrition of Souls (WWI strategic level) starting 10/15
- MMP has the ASL Starter Kit expansion pack #2, with the Chinese forces. Oh yeah, you have to own SK’s 1-4 to use it! C’mon guys… really?

- In case you missed Civil Power on pre-order from CSL, you might want to check it out.
- Evil Hat Productions is pushing all their chips to the center of the socially-conscious role-playing table with the release of Thirsty Sword Lesbians on Kickstarter.
- We can’t keep up with all the pre-orders Compass keeps announcing, but we’re pretty sure we hadn’t already linked Napoleon’s Eagles 2, Brothers at War 1862, and Carrier Battle: Philippine Sea. Don’t worry, we talk plenty about Compass on the upcoming “catalog” episode of our podcast.
