Phil Yates

of War, the hugely-successful World War II miniatures game. Having written four editions of the game, dozens of theater and intelligence handbooks, and supported a vibrant international tournament scene, he later designed WWIII: Team Yankee, extending the same approach to a Cold-War-gone-hot setting. Across both, his signature was the same: combined-arms combat built to feel balanced and historically accurate while staying playable in an afternoon. Alongside his miniatures games, Yates designed and developed board games for GaleForce Nine including: Star Trek: Away Missions Star Trek: Ascendency (2nd Edition, five Civilization expansions, and solo mode) Enola Holmes: Finder of Lost Souls Wise Guys Dr Who: Nemesis Dr Who: Time of the Daleks Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps Phil now designs independently through his own studio, Savage Mouse Games.
