Anyway, if folks are interested in joining the development team, I could use the help.
The Great War 1914-1918: Clash of Empires

Can you say something about Spain? Seems that its not white-neutral like Switzerland. Can one alliance
bring Spain on its side (with money?) ?Spain will be in optional rules as a new player and activated under conditions. We did this due to the “Canada” effect that some people will cry about a nation represented on the board is not a separate playable entity.

@Imperious:
I want the 8/1 release date, while the producer wants earlier.
Ottoman infantry question will need to wait till i call them for update
Earlier than 8/1 release date means within the next 2 months… 8-)
Did you call the producers for update (Ottomans) ?
-
Doing that today.
-
Is there a place to place a pre-order?
-
@Imperious:
Doing that today.
Did they pick up the phone ?

Ok the producer just got back from China…
He will forward sculpt shots of some of the other infantry. He said all the naval came out perfect, but some of the air units were not done correctly by this Chinese firm.
The game is looking at a Christmas release, not August 1st

Thanks for the info IL. It is too bad on the release date, but better to fix it and get a better product out the first time, than to release it when it is not done properly. :-)
Thanks again,
John

Well at least thats enough time to produce some ottoman Infantry sculpts…
I would like to know something about the modified map. Some tts didn´t have right names if I remember it correctly. For example there was an italian “Isonzo” tt but the Isonzo was a river in AH at that time.
-
It was also a major area of conflict between Italy and Austria. It must be represented and in the game it changes hands many times.

Thanks for the updates.

Of course it was the major area in the conflict between both powers.
But the Italians attacked the Austrians, they were the invaders so Isonzo should be the Austrian tt…
I would name the Italian tt Udine, wich was captured after the Battle of Karfreit.
-
On the map we wanted to represent the Isonzo area ( we prefer to call some areas a name that will lend itself to the battles that were fought) the other two areas Carniola and Carinthia are farther away from the Isonzo area, second that Isonzo is a very small area and we need to consider space to fight in Historical areas. That area indicated on the map could be called something else, but readers of the various battles will learn where all those battles were fought in general ( even if it’s on the Aus Hun side). The territories are drawn in a deliberate manner and the fort system is key to Italy having a decent chance to defend. When you play all this will become clear.
-
If it (the Isonzo that is) ain’t in Italy it ain’t in Italy.
Wars have started over less.
If we could have a pic of the map (not a link) I could sort these problems very easily.
But pleased you’re taking the time to get it right.
-
Only 4 months to go… What do you think?
Will we have the chance to play this game on christmas holidays?
-
I’ll place a call and find out.
-
Ok producer says “very likely a Christmas release”
All pieces done
Map changes ( very minor being done)
Box done
Rules need minor rewording -
@Imperious:

In a way that’s fitting because a hundred years ago the soldiers fighting in WWI were telling themselves that, with luck, they’d be home by Christmas. :-D
-
Hello IL, as always I am tracking this game with much anticipation. Will pre-order be possible in the near future?
-
The game is not finished. Once i get details from China on shipment of the game, this will be posted.
As i said before i refuse to make some claim about a release date, then somehow the game does not get released by that time. The date when this announcement is made will be in stone.
-
IL, do you have pics of the ottoman sculpts you can share with us?
