It has been a busy few weeks at The Sentry Box and so we are a bit behind on posting our new releases. Thankfully things have become more normal (the fact that this co-incides with the return of store manager Greg Jackson is purely co-incidental) and so our posting of all things bright and shrink-wrapped can continue apace.
Space Cadet Away Missions by Stronghold Games
Space Cadets: Away Missions is a cooperative, scenario-based, tactical action game for 1-6 players, which is set in the Golden Age of science fiction. In this game, the third standalone title in the Space Cadets franchise of cooperative/team space-themed games from Stronghold Games, players take on the roles of adventurous human spacemen who explore UFOs, acquire Alien technology and fight hostile extraterrestrials.
Each turn, spacemen have three action points to spend on activities such as firing their atomic rifles, analyzing exotic equipment, or subduing the malicious Brain-in-a-Jar. When the spacemen are finished, the aliens take their turns by following simple movement and combat protocols; seven types of hostile aliens threaten the players, from the repulsive mind leeches to the rampaging titanic sentinels.
Space Cadets: Away Missions contains twenty scenarios linked in a campaign story. Each mission features different combinations of aliens on different spaceships, with hexagonal map tiles arranged to form flying saucers, rocket ships, space stations, etc. Cooperation, tactical planning and good dice are essential if the spacemen hope to overcome the relentless horde of little green men.
Attack Wing Ancient Brass Dragon by WizKids

Eshaedra the blue dragon seeks to claim this desert for herself, and she’s called in a lot of favors to mount a formidable legion against Vargachir. Will the ancient brass dragon’s bond with the desert she loves allow her to prevail against the evil invaders?

Your Hired Guns can make life difficult for the Rebel heroes with the addition of a new three-card Agenda set that includes a new campaign side mission. Alternatively, the Hired Guns can be a potent addition to your skirmish armies as disposable warriors to make an opening assault or work as a screen for your more powerful figures. You’ll also find a new skirmish map that invites you to complete two new missions within the sewers of Nar Shaddaa, while four new Command cards allow you to flee from your enemies or push them further away from victory when they destroy your units!
Imperial Assault Stormtroopers Expansion by Fantasy Flight Games
Reinforce your legions of Stormtroopers with the Stormtroopers Villain Pack!

In your campaigns, this expansion offers the new Vader’s Fist Agenda set, allowing you to goad the Rebel heroes into an attempt to sabotage the training facility of the renowned 501st Legion. For your skirmish games, a brand-new skirmish upgrade represents the training of the 501st Legion, offering two potent new abilities to any Stormtrooper squad. At the same time, new Command cards reinforce figures after they die or invite your figures to engage in stealth tactics. Whether you play a campaign or a skirmish, this Villain Pack easily expands the ranks of your Stormtrooper armies.
Imperial Assault Wookie Warriors Expansion by Fantasy Flight Games
Two Wookiee Warriors join the Rebel Alliance with the Wookiee Warriors Ally Pack, and they’re prepared to destroy any who stand between them and the freedom of their species. A new campaign side mission gives you the chance to demonstrate the foolishness of angering a Wookiee, and invites you to call upon the Wookiee Warriors in later campaigns. Your skirmish strike teams can also reap the benefits of an alliance with the Wookiees. These trained warriors are fearsome in a brawl, and the addition of a new skirmish map only offers more opportunities to vanquish your foes. With new Command cards to support your strike team, the Wookiee Warriors Ally Pack is a worthy addition to any skirmish list.

Coven by 8th Summit
Coven is a game of secret alignments for 3-5 players in which each player represents a Witch serving either the darkness or the light. Not only is your starting alignment a secret, but each of the five non-player Goddesses has an unknown alignment as well. Deducing which Goddess(es) and which other player(s) share your alignment will make your strategy clear and victory easier to achieve, but not guaranteed by any means. Gameplay is deceptively simple, with five possible actions as players traverse a circular board with an inner pentagram rotating widdershins changing tactics with each rotation. Coven presents an interesting strategic challenge: the side (Light or Dark) that scores the most Balance defeats the opposing side — but on the dominating side, only the Witch that scores the most Power can win, so players must be careful not to invest too much in one while neglecting the other.
Coven: The Village expansion by 8th Summit
Cover: The Village includes a new rotating Inner Wheel to replace the one from the base game. It also adds 36 Village Cards the replace the original Balance Cards, and a Village card is read when the new Inner Wheel triggers the Full Moon. Suspicion Tokens track how suspicious the villagers are of each player, and are gained whenever you increase Balance. Suspicion may also gain Personal Edict Cards, which are penalties that last for the remainder of the game, and may even prevent you from winning unless certain conditions are met. Coven: The Village also includes 36 Village Cards, 15 Personal Edict Cards, 30 Suspicion Tokens, 5 new Reference Cards, Rules, a six sided die, and an additional spindle.
Snow Tails by Renegade Game Studios
