The long awaited arrival of Fantasy Flights new board game Mansions of Madness has happened.  Here is what they have to say about it.

Horrific monsters and spectral presences lurk in manors, crypts, schools, monasteries, and derelict buildings near Arkham, Massachusetts. Some spin dark conspiracies while others wait for hapless victims to devour or drive insane. It’s up to a handful of brave investigators to explore these cursed places and uncover the truth about the living nightmares within.

Designed by Corey Konieczka, Mansions of Madness is a macabre game of horror, insanity, and mystery for two to five players. Each game takes place within a pre-designed story that provides players with a unique map and several combinations of plot threads. These threads affect the monsters that investigators may encounter, the clues they need to find, and which climactic story ending they will ultimately experience. One player takes on the role of the keeper, controlling the monsters and other malicious powers within the story. The other players take on the role of investigators, searching for answers while struggling to survive with their minds intact.

Do you dare enter the Mansions of Madness?

Mansions of Madness includes:

• 1 Rulebook, Investigator Guide, and Keeper Guide
• 8 Investigator Figures and 24 Monster Figures
• Over 300 cards
• Over 200 Tokens and Markers
• 15 detailed Map Tiles
• Nearly 70 Puzzle Tiles

The Allies have made their parachute drops and have exploited into the Groesbeek Heights and Oosterbeek taking the German’s by Surpise. However the Allied attacks have been slow to develop as only XXX Corps stepped off on time attacking from Joe’s Bridge up the Valkenswaard Road.

Despite a valiant defence by members of the 6th Fallschirmjager Regiment supporting Wayne’s Grenadiers, Allied forces combining some armor from XXX Corps along with some US Paratroopers were able to drive the Germans back into Eindhoven with some heavy losses. Luckily for the Germans, most of the 6th Fallschirmjager were able to pull back and have now set-up a perimeter in Eindhoven.

There are still plenty of battles to fight on Turn 1 but as of the end of Day 1 of the campaign the map looks like this.

Calling all Flames of War Commanders – The campaign starts on Saturday, July 17th at 10 a.m.and games can be played at any time that day throughout the day and then games throughout the first campaign turn will be played at any time over the next two weeks. We will also be discussing the campaing overall and answering any questions anyone may have.

The Allied forces under the command of Brigadier Calovini shall be attempting to advance up Hell’s Highway to capture the key Dutch Bridges ultimately hoping to capture the bridge over the Rhine and end the war by Christmas. Meanwhile the German’s under Generalmajor Nageotte shall seek to thwart the Allies and drive them back from Holland inflicting as much damage as possible along the way.

Please join us and take the role of either an Allied Commander leading your troops to victory over the German war machine or a German Commander hoping to crush the allied advance, reminding the hated Tommies and the upstart Yanks exactly how you conquered Europe a few short years ago.

Bring up your FOW armies and army lists at the 1100, 1250 or 1500 point levels and we will set you up with someone to play and go over any questions anyone has on the campaign. Whether you play British, US, German, Russians, Italians or any other nationality you can participate in the campaign. In addition, whether you are available play once over the next 10 weeks or 3 games every day, and whether your are a hardened Veteran or a green Recruit you are all encouraged and more than welcome to play.
