VentoNuovo Games

VentoNuovo Games What does it mean to make game components "better than they need to be?" Look at our maps. Look closely at our maps. So that is our goal. Make great games.

VentoNuovo Games creates scientific and historical strategy games with innovative concepts, ease of play, and extremely high quality components, mostly wooden blocks manufactured in the EU. There is a level of detail and an actual painting style that includes more visual information than the "game mechanic" requires. For example, could have "woods" that are just a solid green and "clear" that is a

solid tan. You will get a sense of "trees" in the woods, and even "clear" terrain still has a sense of ground that is something other than perfectly flat and all the same color. We believe this extra detail-- carefully balanced to not disrupt game information-- provides a greater texture to the games that helps players enjoy them even more. Our "stickers" are printed on plastic, not paper, because the plastic makes for better ink color and details. Make them beautiful.

On August 30, 1942, Rommel launched his second attack against the El Alamein line. Montgomery put up a determined resistance, and despite initial successes, the panzers were forced to retreat to avoid encirclement.

The epic battle is remembered as the "Second Battle of El Alamein" or the "Battle of Alam Halfa."

As The Lions of El Alamein is "in printing", we thought we'd commemorate that fateful week of fighting in Africa with a special offer, valid only from August 30 to September 5.

To printers!

The LIONS of EL ALAMEIN is a Block-based historical simulation game that deals with the three battles fought between the Axis and the Commonwealth near the infamous railway station from 1 July to 5 November 1942.

The game was created as part of a larger historical research project focused on acquiring primary sources to resolve debated questions and better explain the reasoning behind the battle, its bitter duration over four months, the outcome of a Commonwealth victory, and near simultaneous opening of the Allied Second Front.

The research allowed the detailed drawing of a topographic map covering the theatre of operations at a scale of 1:100,000. Every road, contour line, orchard, oasis, well, building, and cairn were placed in the exact position together with the main trigonometric points used for artillery calibration and orientation in the desert.
The orders of battle have also been studied with particular interest for Table Of Equipment (TOE), correcting some false myths and finally allowing the ghost division Sabratha and many other units that played a key role in the fateful 125 days of battle to re-emerge from the sands of oblivion.

For the mechanics, a new ad hoc modular engine has been created that integrates Strategy, Logistics, Inventiveness, and Tactics (SLIT) to guarantee historical reliability, simplicity of gameplay, and replay ability, while maintaining “Fog of War” and some of the logical algorithms developed for previous VentoNuovo historical simulation games.

The game offers two short scenarios (Lightfoot South and Lightfoot North) to learn the engine, and three scenarios (The First El Alamein, Alam Halfa, and The Last El Alamein) to relive the three critical battles fought at El Alamein from July 1 to November 5, 1942.

Each scenario has its own historical setup instructions plus a graphic representation of the Blocks and DWs either superimposed on the mapboard (Scenario 1,2, and 5) or available as setup sheets.
The three long scenarios offer some extra rules to increase historical immersion, and then for extremely expert players there is a set of optional rules.

Although based on historical facts, the game challenges you through the application of SLIT and offers the possibility to achieve an outcome different from history.

Will you be able to change history? Will you be able to win with the Axis before Montgomery arrives and revolutionizes Allied tactics, strategy and logistics? Will you be able to achieve even more total and rapid success with the Commonwealth?

The fate of the war in North Africa is in your hands with The LIONS of EL ALAMEIN!

The first battle of El Alamein took place in these very days of early July, in 1942.
After the success at Tobruk, the Axis plans were to advance towards the Italian-Egyptian border and wait for Operation C3 to extinguish the threat that Malta posed to the Axis convoys before advancing towards the Suez Canal.
So why did Rommel cross the border and head straight for Cairo?
Our research has revealed what happened in those fateful days and we will tell you about it as we did with Moscow and Operation Barbarossa
