War in The Pacific: Admiral's Addition

@iwillnevergrowup said in Can an Axis and Allies -style US Civil War game actually work?:

It absolutely can work, and work well.

Robert Otto created one in May 2022 called Total Civil War 1861-1865 and had it produced in limited quantities as a full boxed set … but at $350 a copy it was expensive (though considering only about 50 … maybe 100 … were printed, it makes sense to me (as a publisher)).

Unfortunately I don’t think he plans on doing it again and the website he had for taking orders is no longer available.

As for why it wasn’t released by MB/Wizards/Et.al. is probably because of a lower demand (even if only perceived) vs other projects. They also pretty much abandoned anything new or novel for the line quite a long time ago and just updated or tweaked and rehashed everything repeatedly. Their last great ‘innovation’ was A&A Zombies. Now that it’s in the hands of Renegade Games, who knows; they’re more open to new games.

Yes it can as will stated. I do have the game

Thanks. Looks interesting

While I totally forgot to take a picture of the Labyrinth miniatures unpainted, I found a stock photo… if you buy the game, this is what comes out of the box, so it’s a comparison of before (below) and after (above in previous post) of the difference paint makes!

I haven’t played this in a while. Maybe my group missed something. It always seemed to me thought that France could easily hold its coast while running over Austria and even Prussia if necessary and then slowly over power Russia since they are making so much money at that point. I always found that Britain’s only chance was to try to run through Spain and hopefully do it faster than France gets through Prussia and Austria, then kill France from both sides. However, it has been a while and my opponents tended to also make major mistakes so that could have lead to me finding this game very one sided.

I know I’m a little late here, but here is the “Official” game video about Star Wars Rebellion

I was refering to regular ol’ Victory.  I have Pacific Victory but I haven’t played it.  It’s combat system is based on regular Victory.  It does look like an interesting game.

I have this game too. It has little value. Even the pieces are too ugly and huge and are made with the wrong plastic.

Eagle was the old Helen of toy game company circa 1960’s.

All their games belong to the inside advertisements of comic books and deserve no other realm.

I knew they would be out of business before long.
