Yeah, lock Larry in a small room so the game wouldn’t have crazy stuff like capturing capitals and collecting money at the end of a turn.
Start in 1901 and let the powers go at it as they will.

The map is finished. Just need to get it to HBG. It can be played with the Europe at War or on its own.
Look for it on HBG’s site next week.

My copy from HBG is in the mail. HBG should have them up soon. Should be the same price as the Europe game.
I’ll post a link when it is available.

Summer 1944. Asia and the Pacific are looking like tougher conquests than Japan thought:
-
Now have 2 sets of rules with optional rules.
Standard rules use a more Axis & Allies turn based system.
In standard rules, all Axis move first simultaneously, followed by Allies. That would encompass 1 entire season (4 seasons to a year).
Defender withdrawing still allowed, but can no longer move units into space the attacker is attacking (except for air units).
No more initiative in standard rules.
PM me to get an updated copy of the rules.
Cheers

_The Conflict is a global-strategy based game designed around the economic and military conditions of Europe in 1914. Players play in one of two alliances, The Central Powers or The Allied Powers, to defeat their opponents. Players choose among seven nations (Austria-Hungary, Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Ottoman Empire, and Russia). After selecting a nation, players take turns completing their objectives during each round.
The Conflict has been extensively tested and designed by gamers for gamers. Players will take their turn each round to strengthen their tactical advantages and defend the borders of their nation. Each turn is broken down into Phases. Players must complete each previous phase in order to proceed onward with the rest of their turn. If a player decides to enter into combat with another player, they must, along with their opponent, roll a set number of D12 dice to determine the outcome of each individual battle. The Conflict uniquely deducts a combat penalty from the player with the weakest military strength in a territory. This combat penalty is taken off all of their dice rolls during the individual combat. The combat penalty allows for the strongest opponent to have a real-world advantage over their enemy, if they have a larger military presence in the area. Players can develop multiple (land, naval, and air) strategies to succeed. They can utilize 11 military units with unique capabilities to complete specific goals, upgrade technology, play one of three victory scenarios, as well as try a variety of player preferences.
