While I think having cuba be its own power would be cool, it would kind of like having New Zealand be its own power in g40. You would have to wonder how much they really contribute. Maybe you could make it so that the Warsaw Pact can pay to build units to support Castro and the gang in cuba, possibly at higher cost cuz of the blockades and embargoes and stuff, if the Warsaw pact is smart, like they were during the cold war, they’ll buff the hell out of cuba to prevent a traditional land invasion, and nukes aren’t always realistic. If they’re dumb then cuba will just be invaded and it will be an opportunity lost, which absolutely could have happened if the ussr wasn’t paying attention. I’m thinking about alternative rules where one or two players play each Nuetral category so it feels like they’re entities and not roadblocks, but I’ve got a ton of stuff I need to do before then soooooo… The setup for cuba will not change for balancing reasons, it accurately represents their power near it’s height, which was also the time when it was diplomatically plausible for the US to invade. For your expansion however, I recommend cuba starts the game Strict Nuetral with an army of one infantry.

Hi @ all,
im a big fan of A&A. I have also the special map of the Global Version 39 from HBG. I like the scenario of 1914 (I have the A&A version from it). Im from Germany. Could you please tell me where i can order the game when it is released. Can I order the version on the europe homepage from Historical boardgaming? This upcoming game looks fantastic. Please tell me where i can order it when it is finished.
Best regards
A. Aeffchen

Best regards A. Aeffchen

@Imperious:
LOL. Ill call the producer today and see whats going on.
So what did he say? Is the factory still there? Are the chinese workers satisfied? ;-)
Do I have to buy two copies like A&A14 to play the game?
IL, please give me something to write home about…
-
Hello IL, still checking on this topic, would love to be able to secure a purchase of your board game when possible. Any news you could share?
-
The producer says the other day that he is going for a release date before August 1st, and is going to China to sort things out. When he returns he will have a better picture.
Thats all i know.

@Imperious:

Still hoping to learn some rules…

Will there be chips for large unit groups, or are the board spaces big enough to take 200 units?
-
Will there be a site for Clash of Empires on boardgamegeek.com ?
Didn´t found one yet…

The map is huge. 5 feet by 4. plenty of space and it’s hardbound. chips in white, red, blue ( for 10).

Go make one and use the images i have provided. One reason is we don’t have a firm date and BGG is full of games that didn’t get released when they said they would.

Right, BGG is packed with game designers that don’t commit
-
It is full of fake game designers who have no actual games. Printing out ‘games’ from a home computer counts for zero IMO.
-
Super excited for this game IL, been telling my A&A buddies about it since I found out about it early last year!! Definitely put me down for one full game set!! (Any chance you would take pre-orders??)
Thanks again for your dedication and hard work on this!
-
As soon as i find out , you will too.
