In memory of Mark Ruggiero, a friend to all of us.

To honor Mark’s memory, and to support his widow and family, Fortress Games will donate $20 from every game purchased on our website for the rest of the year to Mark’s widow, Elvie Ruggiero. All you need to do is mention Mark in some way in the “Order notes”, as shown in the example. We’ll also pass on your comments to Elvie unless you don’t wish us to.

Mark had a larger-than-life impact on our hobby and was a perfect ambassador. He will be sorely, and sadly, missed.

Hurricane Milton update, Fortress Games: ALL of our inventory that was held up in Tampa’s FedEx facility because of road closures and fuel outages arrived two days ago at our warehouse – ALL backorders of “Save Afghanistan, Comrade!” (boxed, mounted game board) and our “Save South Vietnam! 2024 Supplement” for the original folio games were shipped out today. We are grateful for everyone’s patience!

News from Fortress Games: our popular title “Save South Vietnam!” has been released in a new, BOXED version! In addition to the new 12” x 9” x 1.25” bookshelf box, we’ve added several new optional rules that deal especially with additional ARVN capabilities, including the very proficient ARVN Rangers who fought effectively throughout the war. Bring in ARVN Marines and Airborne troops early, then later in the war you can mechanize your regular ARVN foot regiments. The NVA pack more punch, too: communist armored regiments will spearhead many NVA efforts once all those US B52s are gone, and NVA forces will generally be more mobile. All-in-all, 24 new game counters add historical sophistication and realism. Rules and player aids were tightened up in the slightly longer new game manual, which includes 3 short scenarios* and lots of examples of play. (NOTE: for those with the current folio version, later this year we’ll be publishing a “Save South Vietnam! 2024 Supplement” that will include the new counters and optional rules.)
