Axis & Allies and Classic Strategy Fans,

We want to take a moment to talk to you directly about the upcoming Axis & Allies and strategy game releases.

The recently imposed tariffs came after we had already started manufacturing some upcoming titles, including Axis & Allies: Stalingrad. They significantly increase what we pay to bring these releases to life. Unfortunately, an increase of up to 145% to our manufacturing cost is not something we can fully absorb. We are doing our best to absorb part of them with the hopes that they at least come down to a more manageable level in the future. We waited until the last possible minute to make this decision but now we are at a point where we must ship the next wave or miss our release date. 

Starting May 2nd, the following titles will have updated MSRPs for US customers:

• Axis & Allies: Stalingrad – $90
  
  
• Diplomacy: Era of Empire – $60
  
  
• Diplomacy – $55
  
  
• Monsters Menace the World – $65
  
  

Here’s the good news:

• All pre-orders placed through the Renegade Game Studios website before May 2nd will still be honored at the original price — including any orders already placed.

• We’re still on track for these upcoming releases.
  
  

Thank you for your understanding and your continued support of Axis & Allies and these classic strategy titles. We are proud to continue bringing these games to your table, and we’ll keep doing everything we can to do so for more years to come. 

Team Renegade
