Ares Games will be present at Gen Con 2012 (August 16-19, Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis) releasing the WW1 Wings of Glory Rules and Accessories Pack and the WW1 Airplane Packs featuring 12 fighters. Demos of the games already in the market and previews of Aztlán and Lords of Middle-earth will be also held in our booth.

The WW1 Wings of Glory Rules and Accessories Pack will be released at Gen Con almost at the same time it will start to arrive in North American stores. This set makes easy to get started on WW1 Wings of Glory, with complete rules, cards, four airplane consoles, rulers and counters. To play, it must be combined with airplane miniatures, not included.

Ares Games will also bring to the fair the first WW1 Wings of Glory Airplane Packs, presenting four fighters, each of them in three different versions: the Fokker E.III “Eindecker”, the Halberstadt D.III, the Morane-Saulnier Type N and the Airco DH.2.

The new products will be in demo and in sale at the booth, where players will have the chance to try also the WW1 Wings of Glory bombers and the WW2 Wings of Glory game.

The upcoming games arriving in the fourth quarter of 2012 will also be presented for the first time at Gen Con. One of them is the playable preview of Aztlán, the Euro-style strategy game of conquest and civilization, designed by Leo Colovini, with bluffing and challenging mechanics, for 3 to 4 players.

For the War of the Ring fans, Ares Games will show a preview of Lords of Middle-earth, the first expansion for War of the Ring Second Edition, which will allow players to explore different possibilities in the game featuring more cards, miniatures and action dices, and introducing mechanics connected to the new characters - Elrond, Galadriel, Sméagol, Gothmog and the powerful Balrog of Moria, as well as alternate versions of Gandalf, the Witch-king and the Mouth of Sauron.
