Employee picks
What we like: 

  

Jeff 's pick - DUST Tactics Axis Heroes
(Fantasy Flight, $19.95)
Achtung!  A great addition to the game because it adds variety to your force - either a flamicidal maniac, archetypal leather-clad baddie, or zombie with a chainsaw.  You know, the usual (Insert maniacal laughter here).

  

Sirus' pick - Axis & Allies Angels 20 
( Wizards, $39.99)
Dogfight your opponent in this all new air combat game. The Axis & Allies Air Force Miniatures Base Set contains 31 authentically detailed aircraft miniatures that war gamers and WWII enthusiasts can use to recreate the great air battles of WWII.

  

Colby 's pickWiz War
(Fantasy Flight, $44.95) 
Wizards wage no-spells-barred magical duels deep in an underground labyrinth in Wiz-War. This classic board game of magical mayhem for 2-4 players pits players' wizards against each other in a stupendous struggle for magical mastery. Win by stealing other wizards' treasures and hauling them back to your base, or just score points by blasting the other wizards. The last wizard standing always wins. 

 

Inari's pick - Dark Ascension Event Deck 
(Wizards, $24.95)
Jump into tournament play with a powerful deck that will give you a fighting chance.  Each Standard-legal Event Deck contains 60 cards from a variety of sets and also includes a 15-card sideboard.
