Look's like Avalon Hill has a new game

@taamvan:

Can you elaborate on some of the improvements, so that I may hopelessly convince myself to buy it, knowing i’ll never play?

Ireland wasn’t partitioned until 1921, so this isn’t strictly accurate for 1919.

I thought there was already a topic on this, but I couldn’t find it.

So, I played this twice last year with 5 friends.  The first game (for all of us) I won as the Starks on the super rare third (and final) tie breaker by a dollar (I think that’s how it went).  The second game we got too drunk and someone dropped a phone on the board and screwed up the entire placement, so it was left out.

Anyway, does anyone have an opinions on it?  I’d love to talk strategy, especially since it’s been almost a year since we played and I’d like a refresher.  had some ideas but don’t know how they’d work out.

Very balanced game it feels like, even though it’s fairly complicated.

Answers.

One they are very different games. They are both smaller scale battles but for the most part all the tank units and infantry and artillery work the same in Memoir while you can have six different units and no two would have the same ability in minis. Any similarities is strictly on the surface.

Memoir '44 is better as you get everything you need to play a lot of scenarios just buying the main game. You need a lot more units to get the same variety from minis as from Memoir and it WILL cost more you don’t have to chase rares and the guy who spent the most doesn’t have an advantage over the cash strapped. They have never ‘rewritten’ the rulebook or made earlier sets obsolete as they add expansions and you don’t need several pages of FAQ sheets to keep track of unit interactions.

Minis is better as you can have much more detailed battles and more mix of units and not just recreate battles but very small parts of battles and some of the pieces are pretty decent models and those Memoir pieces are pretty generic. The variety of units touches on a lot more aspects of combat.

Each has their advantages and disadvantages.  :-)

Oh and one last thing – Go Buckeyes.

I’m definitely a sucker for Strategy or WW2-themed stuff

1. World of Tanks
2. Axis and Allies
3. Star Wars Commander
4. War Thunder
5. Settlers of Catan

I t has the eastern front (kursk and Moscow) now as well as a Bulge campaign. African campaign coming up

I love the date on this posting.
