The Great War 1914-1918: Clash of Empires

[Imperious Leader]

The original? The maps are the same one is just larger.

Same rules same game just the pieces represent whats on the map already, but they can be damaged and now we use chips to indicate damage with a dedicated piece.

Sorry I meant original board yes, and ok I made assumptions about potential rule changes my bad. How big will the deluxe be?

[Imperious Leader]

about 35% larger in a rollup material

[Trenacker]

Did you make the map yourself using Photoshop? What kind of material is it printed on?

[Imperious Leader]

I did make the map but had some help to make it better, CS3 and printed on vinyl

You may have already answered this, but do you plan to have a Kickstarter or similar setup so we can contribute to your costs?

[Imperious Leader]

No but it was considered. I kinda don’t believe in that sort of thing. I don’t gauge the audience willingness to buy something before its made because im not controlling when its made. I didn’t invest the money, i just made the game. Kickstarter seems like a looser place, for loosers who scam people and it doesn’t feel right.

So whats left for this game to be considered finished?

[Imperious Leader]

Rulebook was rewritten and needs formating and Battleboard had 5 spaces and only needed 4. Thats it

[bgugs]

Sounds great! Definitely ready to order my copy

[Imperious Leader]

Good job. We just want to not have any part of the rules that are unclear, the rewrite was done by someone who has written hundreds of wargames rules and designed alot of games himself.

pics from last playtest

Nice pics, but if you want to sell this game to more people than just me, you better hurry up. Larry is soon on Kickstarter with a new A&A game, and funds among the casual players are limited.

[Narvik]

I dont like the way you cut Norway in half, but I figure you did so because you dont want half the map with no actions what so ever.

You need a better camera, pics are blurry, I told you to stay away from cameras on sale.

Infantry and cavalry looks splendid. Maybe ships too, but pics too blurry. Bad camera.

Artillery is the King of the Battlefield, and they should not be tiny and small. I am not a big fan of petit artillery. Need a pincer to pick them up. If you got time, make a new mold.

Dug in infantry, or trench infantry. Do they move ? They look like they need a lorry or a truck if they want to move, at least if they want to take the pile of dirt with them. How do they work, they take two hits to kill, right ? The first hit kills the pile of dirt, the second hit kill the man, right ?

Anyway, I order 2 copies of this

Wow, that’s harsh especially considering the quantity of fantastic games that have been funded (and fully realized/delivered) via Kickstarter. The number of “scams” is probably in the range of less than 1% and they’re usually pretty obvious.

[Imperious Leader]

Yea sorry but that’s how i feel. Also, I don’t like the idea that “votes/pledges bring the product into being” I believe in just making a product like a real company, not posting some “wanted please give me money first so i can possibly fund a game, hello?”

It just sounds so weak and pathetic.
