TRIUMPH GAMES SEEKS INVESTMENT PARTNERS
“Take off” with unique WWII aviation card game!

Coupeville, WA (November 12, 2002) – Triumph Games, Ltd. is looking for investment partners to participate in the launch of AirWar: Pacific!, an exciting new card game focused on WWII aerial combat.  The unique and high quality product features spectacular custom-created artwork, delivering value-packed, portable entertainment suitable for ages ten and up.

The two player card game boasts an inventive rule set featuring varied objectives and numerous paths to victory, including tactical and strategic considerations.  Players will enjoy countless hours of gameplay from a single base deck of eighty cards, with add-on expansion decks currently in pre-production and to be sold separately.

AirWar: Pacific! has been rigorously play-tested and multiple base deck products centered on different theaters of combat – each with their own attendant expansion decks and exceptional artwork – are planned based on the same rule set.

All of the products will feature common proprietary branding and will be aggressively marketed to aviation enthusiasts via direct online sales as well as at aviation related events and gaming trade shows.  Strong point-of-sale promotional materials are in production for a launch via retail distribution channels including aircraft and military museum gift shops, hobby stores, and comic book/trading card retailers, amongst others.  Cross-marketing opportunities with flight simulation software publishers and other aviation oriented products are currently being explored.

AirWar: Pacific!’s exciting gameplay and compelling all-original artwork, coupled with its superior quality manufacture and high card count, will foster a strong demand for the competitively priced product, targeted at a largely untapped market.

Triumph Games is seeking members of the flight simulation community who appreciate the appeal of this thrilling new game to become investment partners and to participate in its success.

Potential investors should contact invest@triumphgames.com; all serious enquires will receive a reply with more information about the current product and a copy of the company’s business plan.

Never heard of them!

Whoops, sorry, I should have stuck this in the O'Club to begin with.

Wlfgng, yeah, I still have that game.  Aces of Aces I think is what it was called.

AirWar: Pacific is quite a bit different because it has a lot of both tactical and strategic considerations (i.e. attack now or defend?  bomb shipping or industry?  launch from airbases or protect carrier?  that kind of stuff... our rule set is available online).

Here are a couple of illustrations for those that are interested:
