There's a little chrome--an updated Turn Record track, and some Rommel's Route counters--but pretty much the look is just like it was all those years ago. The zip file includes the rules to the 3rd Edition which were annotated by Bill Thompson of The Wargame Academy.

|  | Albion 20 v1.0
Hypothetical Invasion of England: 25-28 August, 1805
Designed by Alan Emrich
Copyright© Alan Emrich and Victory Point Games 2008 | Conversion by Bill Barrett
"The Napoleonic 20 game system expands with France’s long-planned invasion of England finally launched! With only modest complexity and a focused scope employing low unit density on the map (20 pieces or less) and dramatic, fast playing turns, it is the addition of ‘story-driven’ random event cards and night game turns providing the operational pauses and “friction of war” that give players a great feel for the parry-and-thrust of a Napoleonic campaign as the armies close for battle.
With his newly trained and organized Grande Armée, Napoleon masses his forces in Boulogne for the great invasion. The Franco-Spanish fleet arrives on time to seize control of the English Channel, and a hell-for-leather landing is made aimed straight at London – the Kent Campaign ensues! With special post-landing maneuvering and naval conflict abstractions, Albion 20 adds many fascinating new features to simulate this campaign.
Will the Emperor finally triumph over his archrival, “Perfidious Albion?” Or will there always be an England?

Gamebox optimized for ZunTzu play. (That's what the ZT on the icon means.) New flip side counters, fourteen scenarios with setups ready to play, charts and tables accessible on the main screen, an enlarged, colorized map and all the rules accessible from tabs in every scenario. For convenience the rules are also included in a separate pdf file with an added file of errata. (The errata has already been incorporated in the ZunTzu gamebox.)
The scale and weaponry is similar to the earlier Renaissance of Infantry and Centurion games (also on this ZT2 site) so after converting those two I couldn't leave Armageddon out. There are a few differences--like chariots (armored personnel carriers?)--that add some uniqueness to the game. Still, it's fairly straightforward and going from any one of these three early tactical games to another is pretty easy.

Although 3W never published a scenario combining all three of their overlapping Tunisian BNA games, this is your chance to see what you can do with them.
Other than rudimentary Turn Record Tracks linking the games together, I have added nothing to support a campaign game. However, I did standardize the map palettes based on PGtW (the results of which are more pleasing for RaB than for DaK).
Also see these three games on ZT: See ZT files for these games separated: 1) Decision at Kasserine (3W, 1982) 2) Patton Goes to War (3W, 1987), and 3) Rommel at Bay (3W, 1985)

|  | Blood Before Richmond - Beaver Dam Creek
Designed by Amabel Holland. As arted by Ilya Kudriahov.
Copyright© Tiny Battle Games, 2016 | Conversion by S. Rugge.
Beaver Dam Creek is the fourth game in the Blood. Before Richmond series, but the first battle chronologically.
The first major engagement of the Seven Days set the precedent for the fighting that would follow. You have a small contingent of Union soldiers occupying a strong defensive position; Lee's plan calls for multiple divisions to coordinate their assaults so as to outflank and destroy the enemy; one or two divisions do all the fighting, abandoning the plan and settling for costly frontal assaults. At least this time, Stonewall Jackson shows up - sort of, anyway: having just marched from the Valley with orders to attack the Union rear, he hears the fighting and promptly sets up camp instead, because of course he does.

Design by Lance McMillan. Artists: John R. Cooper and John Cooper.
The Battle of Bussaco, 1810.
Copyright© 2009 Lance McMillan and Victory Point Games | Conversion by Bill Barrett.
"Marshal Massena has been left in command to pursue the British forces out of Spain when the fortunes of war turned to the advantage of Wellington’s Army of the Peninsula as it flees to Portugal, resulting in a battle that should never have happened. Once again, the Napoleonic 20 game system expands, this time to a Portuguese pursuit where a delicious battlefield puzzle awaits both sides as armies and personalities clash in Bussaco 20. It is (literally) an uphill fight to the French, but the British are outnumbered and all is within the grasp of Marshal Massena – but will he grasp for victory or his mistress?
Featuring only modest complexity and a focused scope employing low unit density on the map (20 pieces or less) and dramatic, fast playing turns, it is the addition of ‘story-driven’ random event cards and night game turns that provide the operational pauses and “friction of war” that gives players a great feel for the parry-and-thrust of a Napoleonic grand battle as the armies close to bayonet-point to see which will break first!"

|  | Caporetto, 1917
Designed by Albert A. Nofi. As arted by Redmond Askel Simonsen.
Copyright© SPI, 1978 | Conversion by maxfin (Maaax). By the standards of the Great War, Caporetto was a remarkable battle. Within a month, the Austro-Germans inflicted over 300,000 Italian casualties at a loss to themselves of only 100,000, and had shifted the front over 100 miles. But they fell short of a decisive victory.
Caporetto recreates this spectacular offensive. Modifications to the Great War in the East Standard Rules account for infiltration, naval fire support, changes of command, heroic "last ditch" leadership, and much more. The game poses different problems for each Player, with the Austro-German player impelled to push his advance as fast and as far as possible and the Italian Player forced to retreat, often in the face of certain losses to his rear-guard units, in order to rebuild his shattered line. But despite the inherent imbalance of forces, the game is tensely balanced.
Included in the The Great War in the East Quadrigame.

Copyright© Rio Grande Games, 2000 (?) | Conversion by MAZ. You must own the game to play it.
Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etcetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of their meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner.

GMT 2018 | Conversion by Massimo Finocchiaro (aka MaxFin/Maaaax)
It is the 1930s and the world is still recovering from the Great War and the Great Depression that followed it. A second world war can break out at any time. Can you stop it? Will you start it? Better yet, can you win it?
Cataclysm is not your typical game about World War II. The game begins in 1933, not 1939, and is global in scope. Germany is far from dominating Europe. Japan is on the march in Asia. Every crisis is an unexpected opportunity. There is no hindsight and anything can happen.
It includes the setup for the global scenario.

Copyright© Decision Games, 2013 | Conversion by S, Rugge. After the Confederate victory at Second Bull Run in August 1862, Stonewall Jackson led his wing of the Confederate army to get behind the retreating Federals and finish the job. Mud and fatigue slowed him just enough to allow some hastily collected Federal units to get in position to stop him. The result was a confused battle near Chantilly. At stake was the survival of an entire Union army, or of Jackson's isolated Confederates.

"Charge to Glory: The Battle of New Market", is a tactical level wargame simulating the Battle of New Market, May 15, 1864.

This gamebox incorporates a revised reference chart that corrects that imbalance and makes for much better play. (The original reference card is included as an option.) This gamebox uses the excellent scans from the Conquest game above which no longer links. This rendition adds the revised reference chart, an area for saved coins, six setup scenarios, and a separate pdf file of the 1st edition rules.

Chaosium version of the Gloranthan boardgame Dragon Pass.
Copyright© Chaosium, 1980 | Conversion by Anonymous. Please leave a message on ZT Forum, should you know the Author of this ZTB!
The role-playing World of Glorantha was created as a semi-public-domain project by Greg Stafford around 1966 as a mental exercise. Eventually, Greg published a wargame based on his world called White Bear and Red Moon. In fact, Chaosium was founded to allow Stafford to publish this boardgame! This game later became the excellent Dragon Pass game. White Bear and Red Moon was enough of a hit to spawn a second war game, Nomad Gods, and inspired some D&D fans to write a gaming system that would allow role-playing in Glorantha. Thus was RuneQuest born. --> and demonstrates the importantance ofthis game in our hobby history!

|  | France 1940 V2
Designed by Jim Dunnigan. Originally arted by Redmond Askel Simonsen. Updated graphics by John Cooper.
Original version was an insert of S&T #27. This version based on AH game.
Copyright© SPI, 1971 / AH, 1972 & John Cooper | Conversion by Bill Barrett. In v2 I've included a 300dpi map thanks to better rasterizing/compression software. It's only 2 megs bigger, but the graphics are sharper with better colour matching.
Aside from that, the big additions are three new scenarios that take advantage of the "Tab" attribute feature that allows you to play more than one instance of a game at the same time.
One is a two game free setup version and the others allow you to play up to six games in parallel - (one is free setup, and the other has six Historical deployments).
They'll take quite a while to load and may be a little jerky to begin with, but you can always tone down ZunTzu, graphics handling from the Display section of the Menu if that's the case.
Many thanks to John Cooper for producing the fantastic map & counter graphics, and for allowing me to build this game box with them.
Note: in the original game the rear countersheet was blank, but John has created one that indicates the out of supply values of the units, and in the case of the Air counters, whether or not they are on CAP (combat air patrol) missions.

The other version is a best case scenario that pretends the Italians were not as inefficient as they were historically in that particular battle. making the game more balanced and better for two players.

"When a seven week truce ended in August of 1813, the Sixth Coalition that was trying to stop the French awaited Napoleon's next move, and that move would be a drive on Berlin led by Marshal Oudinot. Right from the outset, however, the campaign was beset by bad weather, slowing the advance against the Allied forces led by the famously cautious and canny Prince John of Sweden (formerly French Marshal Bernadotte and Napoleon's brother-in-law)."

The unexpected and dogged resistance of the Republican Army, which was fully involved in a deep reorganization, caused the failure of this offensive, forcing the Nationalists to give up trying to storm the capital and making them take the long road by capturing the whole country before being able to declare themselves victorious.

Copyright© Avalon Hill, 1966 | Conversion by Frank Jordan.
Avalon Hill’s game on the 1942 battle for Guadalcanal gets the full ZunTzu upgrade here: two-sided step counters so you don’t have to write down unit losses; tracks for Victory Points and artillery Units of Fire; and all the necessary charts and tables accessible from the main screen. But in 1966 Guadalcanal’s real claim to fame was its optional rules for hidden movement. So here the Imperial Japanese Army player gets extra “Force X” counters which represent his units on the map. The backs of these Force counters are transparent except for a small green dot. The same green dot is on all the other jungle hexes. The IJA player moves his units normally (with ZunTzu’s screen blocked), then replaces them with Force markers (super easy with the Stack Inspector) and turns the markers face down. All the US player sees are green dots when the screen is revealed. You get the idea: When the US player runs into a jungle hex and an IJA Force is turned over...it's combat time. It’s a hidden movement system that doesn’t require writing down hex numbers turn after turn. Two scenarios are included. The opening is the standard game ready to go. The second, is the Hidden Imperial Japanese Army scenario and it starts with 400 “No Contact” markers already set up on jungle hexes. Of course as a PLUS gamebox, the complete Basic Instructions and Battle Manual rulebooks with errata are included...even the Leathernecks Illustrated booklet that Avalon Hill packaged with the game. Finally a ten page, illustrated pdf file is included that explains the hidden movement system, ZunTzu's features, and how the gamebox was developed.(And very special thanks to Jerome for putting Star Trek's transporter room into ZunTzu's Stack Inspector...it makes it very easy to "beam" hidden units back onto the map.)

Due to financial difficulties at Socomer, this game was originally manufactured in 1989 without any unit counters (although it did include plenty of markers left over from the earlier game Auerstadt). Pieces appeared in 1992 as a self-adhesive sheet supplementing issue #62 of the magazine Le Journal du Stratege, at which point the old stock of the incomplete game was finally offered for sale. However, the counters in this ZTB are derived from the countersheet images that appeared in the original rulebook.

Expansion to "B-29 SUPERFORTRESS."
Copyright© Legion Wargames, 2012 | Conversion by D. Deitch. The time period covered in the Variant was chosen because it was the most dynamic period of the war for the B-29. Early missions (i.e., before November 1950) for the bomber met with little enemy opposition, with (relatively ineffective) raids against tactical targets. North Korea’s few strategic targets and industries were also quickly disposed of. In November 1950, however, the Chinese Communists were in the war, and the B-29 began facing its first serious opposition with the introduction of large numbers of Soviet MiG-15 jet fighters. It was now a real contest.

For the next 100 odd days, he would once again terrorize Europe at the command of the feared imperial French legions. Surrounded on all sides by armies of the great European powers, Napoleon's plan was to march north to Brussels, separate the Prussian and Anglo-Allied armies from each other, and defeat each in detail. Destruction of the armies would probably mean peace for France and the saving of the Emperor's Crown. Failure was unthinkable.

Awards: 2013 Golden Geek Best Wargame Nominee! Best Guild Gaming Award, Solitare Game, 2013!
Copyright© Consimpress 2013 | Conversion by Bill Barrett.
The Hunters is a solitaire tactical level game placing you in command of a German U-boat during WWII. Your mission is to destroy as much Allied Shipping and as many Capital ships as possible while advancing your crew quality and increasing your commander rank culminating in special decoration ‒ all while remembering you have to make it home.
The Hunters is purposely designed to deliver a brisk yet intensive gaming experience that forces many decisions upon you as you will take command among the major German U-boat models in service during WWII and try to complete an entire tour. If you ultimately survive all patrols from 1939 to 1943, you will be transferred to the U-boat Training Command for the remainder of the war, having successfully carried out your service for the Fatherland.
Those familiar with the classic Avalon Hill game title, B-17: Queen of the Skies, will come to enjoy the same type of gaming experience of the German U-boat War. All major U-boat models are accounted for with every level of detail including period of service, armaments, crew make-up, damage capacity, and more.
As U-Boat commander, you will be confronting many decisions during your patrol. To begin with, eight German U-Boat models are profiled and available for you to choose from. Patrol zones reflect the time period during the war at sea and will shift as the war progresses. All stages of the U-Boat campaign are represented as missions become increasingly more difficult as your adversary makes advances in anti-submarine warfare.
Conducting patrols is the heart of the system as you will be resolving encounters against individual ships, convoys, or even enemy aircraft. Situations you face and decisions you make suddenly come in quick succession.
If during a campaign you want to upgrade your U-boat to a later model follow this procedure: enter Terrain Mode (click on the "Trowel" icon"), move the mouse cursor on to the U-boat mat and press the Delete key. The mat will move off screen to reveal the next model's mat. Turn off Terrain Mode (click on the icon again) and move the counters around as desired/required.

"Imperium" is a 2-player wargame of space empire conflict set in 22nd Century AD, and shortly after release, reconnected into the history of the "Traveller" role playing game. It simulates the clash between Earth (Terra) and an alien civilization, represented in the form of a widespread Empire (the Ziru Sirka). Both sides have a variety of star-ships and ground forces to choose from, and the game is notable for how the two sides are asymmetrical: their forces aren't identical and their economies work differently."

The Battle of Wakefield, 1460:
It was at Wakefield that Richard, Duke of York, met his doom. Richard was head of the Yorkist faction, and had begun the rebellion against King Henry VI that is now known as the War of the Roses. It isn’t clear why he rode our that day against an army with numerical superiority, but the end result was calamity for the Yorkist contingent. About half the army perished, including Richard and the Earl of Salisbury (father of Warwick the kingmaker). Can you break the Lancastrian army before its reinforcements arrive or will you share Richard’s fate?

Copyright© Avalon Hill, 1987 | Conversion by maxfin (Maaaax). This solitaire wargame simulates the March 28, 1942, British raid on the Nazi-occupied French port of St. Nazaire.
In the first part of the game, the player moves the British boats and destroyer HMS Campbeltown (camouflaged as a German ship) to their landing areas, while determining the results of the many shots from the harbor defense guns. Upon landing, the remaining force tries to reach targets (sub pens, caissons, docked ships, supply tanks, etc.) and destroy them.
The German guards are handled by the game system and arrive via random draw and placement and move by most direct route to the nearest British commando. As the game progresses, the German units get tougher and better organized.
The game ends when either all British units are killed or escape and they score for the targets destroyed.

I have made the following enhancements to the published game:
* Added a turn record track to make it possible to set up reinforcements prior to play.
* Added markers to indicate day of arrival for each stack of reinforcements.
* Added operational group displays.
* Added markers to show the boundaries for a scenario.
* Added hex numbers to the map (via my Vassal module for the game).
* Changed the color of water features on the map from green to blue so that they stand out better.

Part of SPI's Power Politics series, the historical simulation of the military and political conflict of 1918-1921 which abolished the Czarist regime and created the foundation of the Soviet Union.

For this reason, players may even find it advantageous to attack their own forces. Victory depends first on the side one wants (either revolutionary or counter-revolutionary) winning the war and second on being the player most successful defeating the forces of the losing side.

A person could make the case that Sadowa is the single most significant battle in the last 200 years.
What? An unheard-of campaign from an almost overlooked war(Austria v Prussia, 1866)? But consider... if the Austrians had won at Sadowa, there might not have been a powerful Prussia, who beats the French in 1870, unites Germany, and competes with Great Britain. Is there a World War I? Take away WWI, and is there a WWII?

No other pre-20th Century game has anything like its historical accuracy and richness of detail," John Kisner wrote in a review in 1978, when TSS had a lock on the top spot in SPI's game ratings. "The game is by no means perfect, even disregarding its physical shortcomings, but with its publication, the state of the art in 19th Century tactical games has made as broad and deep an advance as it did with the publication of the original LA BATAILLE DE LA MOSCOWA," he added.

Copyright© MMP, 2016 | Conversion by Maaaax.
The game is quite recent (there is a Vassal module) and I decided to omit the rules from the ztb file to avoid copyright issues (good idea - ZT Upload Team ).
All the scenarios are present: however the initial setup is a real nightmare, especially for scenarios 4, 5 and 6, so I can't guarantee the accuracy and I have included a recommendation to check the placement of the units in the presentation screen.
I found unbearable (I live in Sicily...) the large number of mistakes in the names of towns and villages in the original map, and I was forced to correct them.

Designed by Charles Kamps and David James Ritchie. Art by Jerry Tiritilli, Ivor M. Janci and David S. LaForce (all versions). As first seen in S&T #96.
Copyright© TSR, 1984 | Conversion by Frank Jordan. A massive rework here and a beautiful display of what ZunTzu can do. The Singapore game in S&T 96 had gorgeous art but a strange layout that put a blowup of Singapore Island at the top of the Malay peninsula and at right angles to it! This game box corrects that with a whole new presentation that eliminates redundant charts and uses the space to put Singapore where it belongs...at the bottom tip of the peninsula and with North pointing up. (Then all the text was reworked so you don't have to read anything sideways.) All the tables and charts have been recolored to match the color of the terrain the chart affects; a green line on the CRT for jungle; a yellow line for beach, etc. The counters are completely new, not scans. The optional rules are "ZunTzu optimized" by using the terrain feature to overlay sections of the map with the optional rules and features. There's really too much to describe here. As always with a Plus box, the rules are included. In this case an annotated scan from the magazine, a clean copy with errata incorporated, and a rules summary for easy reference. The game itself was one of the better ones to come out of TSR's time at the helm of S&T. It has a nice list of options to explore the sad "what ifs" of Britain's humiliating loss of Singapore.

All map errors have been fixed and I re-oriented many of the placenames and charts to make it more "screen friendly". I also removed most of the gradient fills from the counters (I'm sure they look great when printed, but they were rather grainy in ZunTzu), implemented a nice, rounded corner mask and upped the resolution by four times (to 1200dpi). Despite all that, the gamebox is 5mb lighter.
There are 18 different 'scenarios' included - basically these are optimum setups for the Russians, figured out by expert players over the last 45 years.
And once again, many thanks to John Cooper for his excellent artwork!

Designed by Joseph Miranda. Artists: Nicolás Eskubi and Joseph Youst. As originally presented in S&T Magazine #242.
Copyright© Decision Games, 2007 | Conversion by S. Rugge. Boots uses an interactive game turn in which both players command an overall force made up of several sub-commands. During each turn, players alternate picking "command markers," which designate the sub-command within their force they may then use to conduct operations. The player then moves units of that sub-command and, at the completion of its movement, may conduct attacks with the units of that same sub-command. Play then passes to the other player, who similarly picks a marker and moves and fights. That procedure continues until all command markers have been picked. Additionally, certain events cause players to pick "heroism markers" at random, which may generate anything from mad, impetuous charges to abject surrenders.

|  | Victory at Midway
Designed by Ben Knight. Artist/Graphics - Unknown; please inform on ZT Forums if known! Highly acclaimed game, as originally introduced in Command Magazine #14.
Copyright© XTR (Command Mag.), 1992 | Conversion by D. Deitch. Players take up the roles of the naval commanders and make their plans on their own maps in a "double-blind" turn-based system. Without knowledge of their opponent's fleet position, they move their ships, conduct aerial reconnaissance (calling out hexes and waiting for their opponent's response, as in Battleship), and designate areas for air strikes. The strikes are revealed and resolved before proceeding with other naval engagements (ship-to-ship combat, bombardment and invasion of land targets). Battles are resolved by comparing a die roll to the unit's strength for successful hits instead of referring to charts.

Classic bidding and bluffing game. The deck consists of sets of farm animals, 4 cards per animal. Players auction off the top animal of the deck, or try to complete their set by trading with another player. Highest bid wins, but auctioneer always has the choice to buy the animal for the same price as the highest bid.
Trading is a blind bidding system: both players place their bid face down on the table and reveal them simultaneously to each other. High bidder gets the other player's animal. Both players swap their bid. It's best to bid just a little bit more than your opponent, but just how much did he bid?

Zorndorf is the second game in the acclaimed Battles from the Age of Reason (BAR) series. The system presents a detailed simulation of warfare in the age of linear tactics. It is the framework through which players maneuver historic armies while seeking to discover which combinations of units and formations lead to victory, or are a formula for defeat.
I have added markers to make it possible to use the casualty rosters on the screen. Includes setup for the Grand Battle scenario.

Fought on January 23, 1879, the 'Battle of Rorke's Drift' could well be called the battle of the 'Victoria Cross.'
Of the one hundred thirty personnel involved in the defense of the station and hospital at the Drift, eight of them received this most coveted of all British decorations . . . (Victoria Cross)."

In July 1879, clouds of white and grey smoke rose over the battle field of Ulundi: the massed crash of British Imperial infantry rifle fire was decimating the ranks of Zulu the Army of twenty thousand warriors. Wave after wave of Zulu might flowed against the bulwark of Briish Colonial infantry, only to be drive back by the combined forces of rifle, machine gun and artillery fire. Can you do better?
