Listened to audiobook on Thucydides’ History of Peloponnesian War. Has anyone played board game titled Hellenes: Campaigns of the Peloponnesian War? Would make a great multiplayer game. A&A has WWI, Napoleon, Punic 270 BC, variants, but not Peloponnesian Wars (Athens vs Sparta). Would be interested in working together with anyone willing to develop a Greek city state variant for this website.
Introducing myself and Song for War: Med Theater
-
Hi everyone!
Long time A&A guy - like most of you I’d imagine, I grew up on the original in the 1980s, loved the 1940 version when it went even more global, and played my share of the Pacific Theater as well. Dabbled in the WW one stuff, but not extensively - though I was impressed at the time by how battles could be sustained turn over turn vs. rolling until mutual destruction. That is an innovative mechanic that I’ve employed as game designer.
On that note - I am the co-designer of a WWII tabletop game that (thankfully!) has received a lot of attention in the last several months - Song for War: Mediterranean Theater. It’s currently live on Kickstarter and one of our backers recommended I get linked in to this site, perhaps in the “other games” forum, which I’d be thrilled to do, if that is permitted. Wont post anything until I hear from you all - just happy to be part of the group either way.

@Chris-WWII-Invicta-Rex Hello Chris, and welcome to the forums! Your game seems very interesting! Perhaps you wouldn’t mind giving more details about your game such as the Kickstarter page, a lower res map, or a rulebook?
I hope you have a great stay at the forums!

Welcome to the forum.
Feel free to open a thread about your game in the “Other Games” category.
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/18/other-gamesConcerning a direct link to your KS-campaign and maybe a subcategory inside “Other Games” I recommend that you contact @djensen directly. He is the owner of this forum. Also see our Forum Rules, especially #11 (Kickstarter Exceptions).

@Chris-WWII-Invicta-Rex Hi there! I do have some packages for advertising if that sounds interesting to you. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not very much to advertise here. After you are officially advertising, then we can set you up to post about your game. After the game is released, it’s less strict.

Welcome! Thanks for letting me know about the game! I’ll go check it out.

Thanks everyone for checking it out - happy to report we funded (link below). Really appreciate the response and now we face the fun task of manufacturing and delivery. I actually miss playing A&A b/c of the crazy amount of time launching a game takes. But we’re gonna get back into the regular fold. Have a great week all. - Chris

Congrats on the successful funding! That’s no small feat, especially in the board game world. Looking forward to seeing more details on Song for War when you get the chance to share. Always interesting to see how different designers approach WWII mechanics, especially in the Med Theater, which doesn’t get as much focus. Good luck with the production phase, it sounds like quite the ride.
