The Great War 1914-1918: Clash of Empires

OR THIS:

I prefer the middle one (Reply #319, 05:48:45 pm) – clearly blue, and with lots of character.  The first one is too pastel for my taste, and the third one looks…well, sort of dusty.  I’m not sure how to express it properly; the phrase that comes to mind is that the shade lacks definition, or has weak saturation, or something like that.  Anyway, my pick would be the middle one.

[Imperious Leader]

If you look at actual French ww1 uniforms they look more like option 1 and 3

I kinda like #3 as it does look like a “dusty blue” and I would say it matches the uniform colors in your picture perfectly!!

[WILD BILL]

I like the 3rd choice as well (dusty blue), it seems to match the helmets.

The third gray-blue color posted is what I think of for Austria-Hungary. Pike-gray or what they called hechtgrau. It offsets them a bit from the Germans. A deeper blue, I would associate with France.

Turkey I tend to associate more with a khaki color, but not sure what shades are available to avoid conflict with the British.

[Imperious Leader]

Austrian color is here

@Imperious:

Austrian color is here

Yes, that’s the color I had in mind. Probably my favorite uniform of the early war period.

Simply use the historical correct colours!

And please in this regard stay away from this red/brown nonsense for Russia WWI!
It’s beige!

(The RED revolution had yet to come up in 1917!)

France is on a good way! (and of course it’s colour #3!)

[Imperious Leader]

Anything remotely red will be the Ottomans, but a subdued red/tan.

Russia will be Brown/Beige

Hey IL,

Any update on this Gem??  Saving my Pennies!  Can’t wait!!

[Imperious Leader]

4th quarter release, no definite date. Mostly done

[Chicochico]

Where will this game be sold on release? Any online store with international shipping?

[Imperious Leader]

Everywhere and international too ( except rules in English)

[Chacmool]

This game should be named “Chinese Democracy” …

Just kidding. I would do lots of things to play this finally    :roll:

Any news?

[Imperious Leader]

Nothing at this point. Game is done- problem is China

[Chacmool]

What about some reports ?
Since I am doing my own non-commercial ww1 game, I would like to be inspired by some of you rules… rules

[Imperious Leader]

Playtest this friday, ill post pictures ok?

Also, it may be with the complete plastic sets. Producer says hell try to make that happen.

[Chacmool]

Sounds good!

Can`t wait for new pictures. From what I can remember your miniatures look superior.

My only worry is the map, did you fix the false tt-names?

Anyway, nice to see that this game is still on its way…

[Imperious Leader]

Yes even flashman helped out on that.
