@crsluggo I think you are right about those carriers being Russian. If I were in their shoes, I’d reuse sculpts as well. They already have them, no need to re-invent the wheel.

WAR ROOM - New Larry Harris Game
-
@Young:
I’m betting on this right now… A group gathering playing a game of the WAR ROOM will be known as a “Pizza Party” (I said it here first).
It would definitely be called a pizza party if the game board depicted a southern polar view rather than a northern polar view, as can be seen from the topmost and bottommost maps in the Wikipedia article titled “Territorial claims in Antarctica”.

WOW!… I think you just managed to mention both flat earth and pizza gate on a board game forum AWESOME!!!

Well who in their right mind would believe the Earth is round? That’s just silly.

Especially with thise fake moon landings……

I kinda get this game. Its really different, but relies on a return to the MB unit mix plus artillery.
Concepts make sense and i like that AA and Artillery are finally in the same unit

Larry Harris and Thomas Gale will be at Young Grasshopper’s G40 Axis & Allies tournament in Oshawa Ontario Canada September 23, 24th… they will host a demonstration of their new game “The WAR ROOM” which will be streamed live on my YouTube channel.
More news and announcements to come, in the meantime… myself and the Cliffside team are very tiered right now… time to rest.

Thanks Hoffman and look forward to hearing any more news, YG.

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed but the website now has a basic gameplay turn sequence on it with more photos. It’s cool to see how much units cost; not in terms of money but in terms of resources, namely Oil, Steel and Other Strategic Resources (OSR). Looks like you bid Oil to see who goes first, then players move their units simultaneously… Battles ensue and you can choose either an Offensive or Defensive posturing for your units. Air battles are resolved first, then land battles. Looks like units can be retreated or withdrawn for Repair - except for attacking (or Offensive) Infantry. There’s loads to look at on there and I am personally stoked!! Â :lol:

Thanks for sharing Lozmoid. Sounds very interesting. I look forward to hearing more from YG after the tournament.

You are in the big time now YG. Nice work.

Yeah check out the images on the Nightingale Games site! Man this game looks cool - do I see rail lines? What the deal with those dice? WOW!

Having played this game with Larry in his Basement in April, I will say, I am very excited for it’s final release.
Is it different than A&A? yes.
Could the epic map be converted into an A&A game? YES:) and It’s a big “movement” from the typical maps and distances we are used to, which is a cool thing.
One of the best components of the game. The fact that all moves are done in the blind. It’s kind of like that scenario everyone’s talked about for years, where you setup 3 rooms, 3 boards, and only the referee’s can see what both forces are up to.
If you can imagine an actual war room, with the “wooden blocks” that’s the ultimate goal of what this game plans to be.
-
Sounds good. Hope it’s all of that.

They just sent out a rulebook draft in the newsletter today.

Awesome. Is it okay for someone to post the rules here please? I cannot access them from work, gets blocked… (I know, I should be working but what the hell lol)
Thank you very much :)

I didn’t get blocked when I pasted the link below into my browser address box. Try pasting it in the same way and see if that works.

Thanks but nope, still blocked. Do NG have their own website with a link to WR or do they only have like a facebook page? Many thanks

Congratulations YG on the upcoming participation of Larry and Nightingale Games at these events for a demo of their forthcoming game. This is great news indeed. Looking forward to seeing the after-event report that you’ll prepare (if you’re planning to do so) for your Youtube channel.
