Historical World War II Game

Are there any gamers on this forum who play any sort of roleplaying games?
I’m big into 4th Edition D&D, but I’ve also been working on designing my own original game system that I would love to test out, if I can find some interested players.

I own a copy of the game.  As with a lot of games, I bought it for the pieces.  The troop pieces are disappointing because their plastic isn’t very compatible with A&A: the plastic has a glossy, semi-translucent appearance, and the colour shades don’t work well in my opinion.  The British-looking pieces with pith helmets have some usefulness as colonial troops. One unexpected bonus, however, is that the little grey triumphal arches work nicely as markers for A&A victory cities.

Anyone play?

It is easily the best RTS on the market.

Well look where it got  :wink:

As far as being good, I liked it, but I like OV beer so……  Battles had no chance component, but trade cards could introduce some nasty events that can set you back.  Diplomacy and trading were how you won for the most part.  Optimizing your country for the geography and national goals were what I liked best.  But I am an optimization junkie.

I first played that at Newgrounds (www.newgrounds.com), which has quite a few good games.

Mastermind, is one.
Alien Hominid (which was ported to a bunch of consoles - and the group that made it has a great follow up game, Castle Crashers)

check it out.

if youve seen the show on the history channel, youll know what this is about.

Hope they make a wild west shootout soon.  :-D

I am glad to hear that some of you have tried out Empire Forge.

I mentioned it in another thread that you can find here:

Give it a try.  It is fun and addictive.
