Zvezda Hex-Based Strategy Games
These games are a historically accurate approach to the strategy (building reinforced cities and units) and tactics of the era.  Using 1:72nd scale (20mm by the Barrett scale) plastic figures to represent units, the players take sides to refight a significant battle from history.  Each side will build upon the cities already in possession, seeking to expand influence and wealth in order to build a bigger and stronger army with which to defeat the foe. These games are reminiscent of good Avalon Hill games from the past.  They make a superb addition to any game collection and they add significantly to a historian's understanding of the period.
