Description Edit | History

The Leader Series Games are a solitaire gaming system, originally published by GMT but later republished by the designer's own company, DVG. The game recreates modern air warfare in a variety of U.S. Strike fighters. All games are designed by Dan Verssen. Many of the games are available as Print and Play PDFs.

More Information Edit | History

There are two categories of "Leader" series games by Dan Verssen.

Version 1 games were published by GMT in the early 1990's. These games were standard format games available at retail locations. Boxed with printed maps, counters and rules. These games are currently Out Of Print.

Version 2 games are published by Dan Verssen Games and are a refinement and streamlined version of the original (Version 1) system.

In 2005, Version 2 games became available for download in two formats: A Virtual Tabletop Game using the Vassal Engine for solitaire play on a computer and as a set of PDF files that can be purchased, downloaded and printed for physical play. Two games and three expansions are currently available.

In 2010, DVG began publication of Version 2 "Leader" series games in a standard boxed format with printed maps, counters and rules. Currently two games are available and one is on pre-order.

Dan Verssen has indicated that he is working on additional "Leader" series games, including a revision of the original Thunderbolt/Apache Leader.
