Flames of War (abbreviated as FoW) is a World War II tabletop miniatures wargame produced by the New Zealand company Battlefront Miniatures Ltd.[1] The 1st Edition set of rules was published in 2002. Flames of War allows players to wargame company level battles from the European, Pacific and North African Theatres of World War II, using 1/100 scale miniatures (15 mm figure scale) and miniature armor. In the 1st Edition rulebook basic army lists were provided for the mid-war period (1942–1943), while Battlefront published early (1939–1941) and late war (1944–1945) army lists on their website (subsequently these early and late war lists were removed). The 2nd Edition of the rulebook was published in 2006. The 3rd Edition of the rules was released on March 10, 2012. The 4th Edition rules were released in March 2017.

VektoRace is a board-less car racing game that simulates Formula 8 racing, with gear changes, boosts and tyre ware as you slowdown around corners. There is no board, you create your own race track with the corner octagons provided, any size and shape you like, and so the track will be different every time you play. The gears (Vekto Rods) determine how far you can travel in your turn and you must decide which gear to use on your next turn (up, down or stay in the same) before the end of your turn.
