Carl Paradis and his trusty developer Alan Emrich have teamed up again to present the second chapter in this game series, No Retreat 2, this time taking the action to the African Front from the start of Operation Compass on 8 December 1940, through 1942 to the eviction of the Axis from Libya. Building on the notion of a card assisted game and death-or-glory victory conditions, No Retreat 2 offers a narrative game rich in the feel for the ebb-and-flow of the campaign, wrapped around an exciting maneuver and combat system that harks back to the glory days of classic wargaming but includes all the modern features and plenty of innovations. Unlike other North Africa wargames, there is not a long, single map. Instead, there are 5 "mini-maps" located at the various termini of maneuver in the campaign, and where battles are waged as fascinating "mini-games" in their own right. Players try to sweep each map and force the action onto the next one in an effort to push their opponent out of the game. The looming Malta factor is accounted for most assiduously. While abstracted into many aspects of the game, players must always be mindful of Malta being made active (helping the Allies) or inactive (assisting the Axis). The Italian forces have their rightful place in the story unfolding on the game board, and the remarkable paucity of units turns every counter and hex into the kind of wargaming puzzle reminiscent of the glory days of those great contests from the Avalon Hill General magazine. The desert lies before you and World War II is at stake. You must endure and prevail under the most surprising and grueling of circumstances, for there is No Retreat!

A high production value, classic heist thriller in the tradition of Inside Man and No Country for Old Men, Landscape tells the story of two burglars; Sergej and Polde who steal a valuable painting Landscape No.2. By coincidence Sergej also takes a mysterious document dating back to the end of World War II that may hide secrets that the owner of the painting desperately wants to hide, and may reveal the true origins of the paintings as well. A special agent/hit man is hired to recover the stolen painting and more importantly the document, triggering a life and death chase through the Balkan countryside. The burglars gradually discover the diabolic origins of the painting and its relationship to the document, resulting in revelations with unexpected consequences. By the time the burglars realize the truth, it may already be too late. Cinematography by legendary Serbian director of photography; Dusan Joksimovic (Underground, Luna Papa).
