Yes it is a real game available at all retailers. Only not places like Target or big box retailers.
IL,
––Will you be making the American “4-Piper” Destroyers? I truly hope so as they were quite distinctive,…all the way up through WWII.
----I’d really “jump for joy” if you did because that would allow me to modify some into the APD’s that were re-built in WWII specifically to transport the US Marine Raiders(below). Hey,…I think the guy on the right is trying to thumb a ride(Grin).

@Imperious:
yes.
––This looks like it will be a GREAT GAME in and of itself.
––And what a bonus when it will provide some “4-Piper” Destroyers that can be modified into WWII-era APD “Fast Attack Transports” (see below) for my Marine Raiders. These were the famous “Green Dragons”.
––Thanks for your time in responding so quickly.
----Does Doug, the “Coach” at HBG have these Games for sale yet? Is he also going to have additional pieces available separately?
––Is this game available online? Can someone inform me where I might purchase it in NorthEast Texas / NorthWest Louisiana?

No release date has been set. Deliberately and expect the announcement in 4 months for a fall release ( if not sooner)
Pieces look amazing! Cant wait to get my hands on this game.
I do have a couple of questions though. If you are not allowed to disclose this information, no worries, I understand. But please keep us posted if you can.
Compared to A&A games that are out now, what is the complexity of the game.
Any hint on colours for the nations? I’m assuming grey for Germany, blue for France, green for America. Hopefully Russia is not a shade of brown or red. White would be best, as ottomans should be red. Austria-Hungary should be yellow or black. Uk and Italy should be same as A&A tan and brown respectively.
Austro- Hungary is light grey
Ottomans are a reddish color
Russia will be a sorta light brown
Italy is a light green
the rest you got.
IL,
––I’ll wait as patiently as I can. You can consider me a definate sell already. Please keep us informed as I imagine many of the A&A.Org gang would also be interested in buying some of these games.
----One Question (IF you’re allowed to answer it). Do you plan on these being available through HBG, and would ADDITIONAL pieces be available separately?
––Thanks for your time and effort in this project.

How many spaces between Switzerland and Belgium?
I hope more than 3 or 4
The shortest route is 2 spaces: Alsace Lorraine is between them ( German control).
If you go thru only French areas the count is 3
Do you plan on these being available through HBG, and would ADDITIONAL pieces be available separately?
Hopefully yes. The producer has to make that decision and i advocate that he does that.
Keep up with the updates if you can IL I think I am more excited about your game than Larrys. Good luck to you on this endeavor I hope it is profitable for you because if I know you this one won’t be your last. Can you say IL"s Era of Napoleon anyone?
That is game #3, after the Civil War
@Imperious:
I saw those, so yes.

I am one of the piece peeps you referred to earlier… any chance you can get whoever made these to do some WWII ships? These are beautiful. Really looking forward to this game.
Pretty sure that wont be done unless we make a WW2 game.
IL, Your ships and artillery are awesome! I was trying to modify some Royal oaks into German High Seas and Royal Navy Grand fleet Dreadnoughts and now I won’t have even finish that attempt.

I always wanted a Civil War game!!!
YOU DA MAN IL. I will be watching. Way to follow your dreams man I have been reading you on these boards for about a decade now and know this is something you have always wanted. Good luck.
Are the infantry early war, late war or a mix? My guess is you chose the “most iconic” for each nation, but it’d be nice to have both early and late (steel helmets) types for different units.
You’ve said there’s an air supremacy phase before general combat; I like the idea but doesn’t that too often lead to a plane vs plane combat where they simply shoot each other out of the sky?
I yet hope to persuade you that the tanks need to be 4-1 in combat…
And that Turkey should have no factories, because, er, it had no factories.
Time enough.
I appreciate the number of sculpts being made, but is there any scope for extra unit types later, such as observation balloons and reconnaissance planes.
I’ll pimp a German WWII carrier for the Furious…
IL, will there be an entry for this game on BGG? I looked but did not see one.
