Not to steal my thunder from the GARPA column but here is some news from Worthington Games about two new pre-orders.
From their Facebook page.

Frederick's War is designed by Sean Chick and uses the Hold the Line system to portray the battles of Frederick II. The game includes 8 scenarios plus 2 free downloadable scenarios.

Happy Gaming!
I am very tempted by the Gettysburg game.
That's a no-brainer for me...pre-ordered. HtL is a fun game and a Gettysburg treatment of it will be a blast!
There are 2 Worhington games that I'm interested in atm; 'Blood & Sand' and 'Band of Brothers' - any of you guys play either of these? If so, I would be glad to have some impressions on how they play.
I just received HtL and the French & Indian War expansion via UPS today. I purchased HtL based on GJK's positive feedback about the game. Looking forward to playing it! Will have to keep my eye on Gettysburg 150.
