AoS Team is pleased to announce a pair of bonus releases for 2008: Age of Steam Expansion - Washington DC / The Berlin Wall and
the Age of Steam Box #1. AoS Team has heard the cries of North American AoS
fans, and are also pleased to announce that these releases will be made available initially to North Americans and will later be released at Essen.
Washington DC and Berlin are another pair of maps created by highly regarded Age of Steam expansion designer Alban Viard. Washington DC focuses on the infamous freeways of the US capital. While
the interstate can allow for quick goods transportation, it also becomes increasingly clogged as the game progresses and eventually becomes nearly impassable.
The Berlin Wall, meanwhile, takes Age of Steam back to the era of the Cold War and the divided city of Berlin. Troop garrisions impede goods
movement for much of the game, and the wall also presents an imposing obstacle. Of course, the fall of the wall in 1989 changes everything.
The Age of Steam Box #1, meanwhile, is a useful new accessory for all Age of Steam fans. The two-piece box, manufactured by Ludo Fact in Germany, offers a sturdy, stylish way to transport your standard size Age of Steam expansions. The Age of Steam Box features a check list of all of the currently released hard board and soft board expansions that will fit in it, and is available either together with the new expansions in it, or separately.
