This is the old Avalon Hill classic presented in its original colors: Blue for the Allies and Red (Pink?) for the Axis. That's the way AH did things way back in '64. 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. It's still a good introductory game for newcomers and a trip down memory lane for us old guys!

|  | 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.

Copyright © GDW, 1976 | Conversion by R. Peterson. This ZTB is 'not-set-up.' It is a RAW version. Normally, GDW games are easy to set up, but there are problems (?) with either physical counters or is it a 'weak' OB (Order-of-Battles)? Still, it might be possible to figure out proper set-up with extra work. I promise to continue 'set-up' but might take many months,
If you are a fan: keep an eye on this spot! All updates will be acknowledged and noted (as of April 2022). Please respond on ZT Forums your set-up experiences!
