Many of you have been waiting a long time for this module and we apologize for the time it took to complete GENESIS 48. Thanks for your patience. We'll skip the excuses and go right to the detailed product information.

LIMITED PRINT RUN: 1,000 copies of GENESIS 48 will be printed due to the esoteric and highly specialized subject matter. Note Ruweisat Ridge and Those Ragged Bloody Heroes sold out quickly, as did Combat! Normandy. The surest way to be sure to get a copy is to advance order one at your local CH dealer or place an order here if you have no hobby shop nearby (suggest our line to your local game store and earn our thanks!) Click here to order using our secure server.

ADDITIONAL VALUE ADDED: Due to the longer than expected development time, we are including the SINAI 56 materials (scenarios + rules + play aids + counters, orignally slated for separate release) with GENESIS 48. The birth of modern conventional warfare took place during the Sinai, or Suez Campaign of 1956 and we're proud to bring you the coolest (and clearly written and easily understandable) variant rules to depict the action!

SCENARIOS: Use the drop-down box to read the historical summaries for the scenarios presented in GENESIS 48 and SINAI 56.
