TIM-JIM STATUS Prism Games (which has previously been listed as TimJim in all Fine Games catalogs) provided this clarification of its status in light of its business partner, TimJim, ceasing operations.
Prism Games, formerly TimJim/Prism Games, is continuing to do business. All of its products: Fast Food Franchise, Time Agent, Age of Exploration, Suzerain, 2038 and Throneworld are still in print and available through distributors [and Fine Games]. In addition, Prism is carrying TimJim's only game in print, Mystic War [also available]. TimJim's projected next release, Reign of Terror, has been cancelled. It and the out-of-print Outpost's fates have not been decided. Prism's next release is projected to be 1834, pending a license from Francis Tresham/MP/Hasbro?, plus two expansion sets for 2038 and Throneworld. For more information, see http://www.prism-games.com or email Tom Lehman at ptl@netcom.com.

You can always view the most recent listing of New Game Releases at
.
49 new items appeared in the 7 weeks since the beginning of June. Of
these, only a few notable releases arrived since the last newsletter.
ASL'ers will have to make due with ROUT PAK III, another 8-scenario kit. In
stock, $7.
For those who have been enjoying Columbia's VICTORY, they've released the
first set of add-on map boards. These add new terrain type in geomorphic
boards. $8, expected to arrive Tuesday.
BATTLEMIST looks like an interesting game of fantasy empire building among
2-6 races/players using hex tiles to form the terrain & board. $35, in
stock.
ARMADA, a kit of plastic miniature space ships for TWILIGHT IMPERIUM,
finally, finally appeared. $21, in stock.
Sim Workshop released CUBA LIBRE!, a grand tactical game of the Bay of
Pigs, $13 in stock, as well as a 2nd edition of Rommel at the Meuse, now
$11.
Wizards of the Coast produced 3 very simple family card games. Guillotine
for $8, and Earthquake and Instinct for $6 each, all in stock.
Lastly, the editor's choice among this haphazard group. MAUL OF AMERICA is
a simple game for up to 6 players which follows the plot line of George
Romero's horror classic, Dawn of the Dead. Up to 5 players take a plastic
player figure trying to gather resources in a shopping mall; another player
takes 25 zombie figures trying to eat the 5 human players. Sound fun? Well,
I guess it really helps to have seen the movie...

You can always view the most recent listing of Pending Game Releases (those
due within a few months) at .
Its been an exceptionally slow year to date for new game releases. This
may not change, but there are finally a number of games worth anticipa-
ting (and drooling over) now on the immediate horizon. Some honest-to-
god big releases! Its been so long!
AH will release its FOR THE PEOPLE within 3 weeks (rumor has it). This
should be a very big release as it covers the American Civil War a
strategic level, uses an evolution of the We the People system, and was
designed by veteran designer, Mark Herman.
GMT will release three good games: GREAT BTLS OF J.CAESAR GALLIC WARS,
INVASION, SICILY and SARATOGA. The first is sure to be an excellent
addition to the Great Battles of History series, with the collaboration of
R.Berg & M.Herman as designers. Sicily is by one of the designers I enjoy
most, Vance von Borries. There should trickle in during the next 3 weeks.
GRD will release...soon...its WAR OF RESISTANCE covering the war in China
thru 1941. This is an Europa style game set in the Pacific theater, and
will be truely huge.
Moments in History will release this week a pair of intriquing titles,
CLASH OF TITANS, THE BATTLE OF KURSK and TRIUMPHANT RETURN, LIBERATION OF
KIEV. Been a while since we've had an east front fix.
Spain's SimTac released this week Rivoli, another gorgeous tactical battle
using a simplified La Bataille system.
Kevin Zucker's LA GUERRA DE L'EMPEROUR, a simplified Empire in Arms of the
Napoleonic era, should also be out within 3 weeks. This should be a good
one.
The *tri*-annual World in Flames '98 Annual should be out this week.
There are many others that may be out shortly and certainly worth a look.
These include the Avalanche's GREAT WAR AT SEA v2: NORTHERN WATER; Clash of
Arm's JOAN OF ARC, COURTISANS OF VERSAILLES, FEAR GOD & DREADNOUGHT, and
HARPOON: WHITE ENSIGN; a slew of Critical Hit stuff; Decision Game's card
game of the Battle of the Bulge, NUTS;
MISSING IN ACTION are the longed for Azure Wish Edition (AWE) games as well
as the second set of FORMULAE DE expansions. All of these should have
arrived in June but are still...?? The various consolidations among
distributors, Chessex and the Armory (now the Alliance), have distracted
them from the reason for their existance.
