"No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come."
-Victor HugoThe people who bring you Against the Odds Magazine and Turning Point Simulations have launched another idea whose time has come, a new company, Last Stand Games, to explore a new world of simulations...classy high end games, boxed, with mounted boards and large thick counters... products that challenge the mind with both their research, and replay, value. Sometimes simple, sometimes complex, these limited edition games are crafted for today's wargame enthusiasts.

| • Mounted game boards | • Plastic storage trays | • Full-color components |
| •Insightful and informative historical commentary | • Play-by-email (PBeM) aids |
• Large, die-cut counters (wooden blocks for some designs) |

| Stalingrad: Verdun on the Volga (S:VoV) by designer Mike Rinella, is our first release. It's a new regimental-scale game of the two-month struggle for control of the 30-kilometer long industrial town that sat on the West Bank of the Volga River. S:VoV is divided into several two-player scenarios, based on the historical German offensives in September and October. You'll find S:VoV enables you to refight one of the most important battles of World War II in far less time using Mike's favorite area impulse game system. Read more about this game on Consimworld. |

Beyond Leipzig: Conflict of Nations takes John Prados' popular game design from Beyond Waterloo and applies the system to the greatest of all the Napoleonic campaigns in 1813.
