I’m setting it in the mid-1950s / Late
Experimenting with it and making I can get some ideas from y’all
The Great War 1914-1918: Clash of Empires
-
Austro- Hungary is light grey
Ottomans are a reddish color
Russia will be a sorta light brown
Italy is a light green
the rest you got. -
IL,
––I’ll wait as patiently as I can. You can consider me a definate sell already. Please keep us informed as I imagine many of the A&A.Org gang would also be interested in buying some of these games.
----One Question (IF you’re allowed to answer it). Do you plan on these being available through HBG, and would ADDITIONAL pieces be available separately?
––Thanks for your time and effort in this project.

How many spaces between Switzerland and Belgium?
I hope more than 3 or 4
-
The shortest route is 2 spaces: Alsace Lorraine is between them ( German control).
If you go thru only French areas the count is 3
Do you plan on these being available through HBG, and would ADDITIONAL pieces be available separately?
Hopefully yes. The producer has to make that decision and i advocate that he does that.
-
Keep up with the updates if you can IL I think I am more excited about your game than Larrys. Good luck to you on this endeavor I hope it is profitable for you because if I know you this one won’t be your last. Can you say IL"s Era of Napoleon anyone?

That is game #3, after the Civil War

@Imperious:

http://www.mediafire.com/view/?sgtwqp8126qvq4sI am one of the piece peeps you referred to earlier… any chance you can get whoever made these to do some WWII ships? These are beautiful. Really looking forward to this game.
-
Pretty sure that wont be done unless we make a WW2 game.
-
IL, Your ships and artillery are awesome! I was trying to modify some Royal oaks into German High Seas and Royal Navy Grand fleet Dreadnoughts and now I won’t have even finish that attempt.

Blast.

I always wanted a Civil War game!!!
-
YOU DA MAN IL. I will be watching. Way to follow your dreams man I have been reading you on these boards for about a decade now and know this is something you have always wanted. Good luck.

Are the infantry early war, late war or a mix? My guess is you chose the “most iconic” for each nation, but it’d be nice to have both early and late (steel helmets) types for different units.
You’ve said there’s an air supremacy phase before general combat; I like the idea but doesn’t that too often lead to a plane vs plane combat where they simply shoot each other out of the sky?
I yet hope to persuade you that the tanks need to be 4-1 in combat…
And that Turkey should have no factories, because, er, it had no factories.
Time enough.
I appreciate the number of sculpts being made, but is there any scope for extra unit types later, such as observation balloons and reconnaissance planes.
I’ll pimp a German WWII carrier for the Furious…
-
IL, will there be an entry for this game on BGG? I looked but did not see one.
-
Ok this is a preview of the map, which is not complete ( port names to be added)
-
I hate to be this guy IL, but are you planning on producing sculpts in different colors for individual sale? I’ve been following the “official” WW1 game and I’ve been very excited about it, but I’ve been less than impressed with the variety and quality of the unit sculpts.
I do, however, like the map and the mechanics Larry Harris came up with, so I’m hoping someone at some point will come up with additional sculpts for it.
I guess I’ll just wait and see as you release more info, there’s no one saying I can’t buy two WW1 games! :-D
Well, besides my wife… :-(
-
Well 8 nations are represented, so yes on the colors.
Each nation has it’s own sculpt,– 8
Then they get one of three sculpts representing entrenched infantry–3
Germany and Austria get Stosstrupen infantry–2
Also, they get one of three sculpts representing Cavalry–3
Three fighter sculpts-3
Three bomber sculpts-3
Three railway artillery-3
Three regular artillery-3
Germany gets Zeppelins-1
One airship sculpt-1
three dreadnoughts-3
three cruisers-3
three destroyers-3
three subs-3
three transports-3
one sea mine-1
three tanks-3
three armored cars-3
52 unique sculpts in mostly 8 colors

I can’t wait for this one Imperious. I am all in. The map looks awesome. Wish there was more of Africa and India but the colours you used are excellent. Map is very pleasing to the eye. Keep up with updates when possible.
-
Actually i made an African map as an expansion module. This will be a download thing after the game comes out.
Basically Africa is a sideshow. Logistics plays a part in this module. Zeppelins can deliver supplies and players have to roll for upkeep.

Ok, I have a few questions regarding the map.
1. How will the USA come into play, I don’t see any USA tt.
2. What role will the Convoys have on gameplay?
3. You have some symbol that looks like oil or gas. Can you tell us a bit about that?
4. Will the naval ports work the same way they did in AA 1940?
5. I love the map and the colors are alot better than Larry’s design. Seems like a very fun game and I am looking forward to buying it. I also love the unit sculpts.
I understand if you can’t answer any of these questions.

_The Conflict is a global-strategy based game designed around the economic and military conditions of Europe in 1914. Players play in one of two alliances, The Central Powers or The Allied Powers, to defeat their opponents. Players choose among seven nations (Austria-Hungary, Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Ottoman Empire, and Russia). After selecting a nation, players take turns completing their objectives during each round.
The Conflict has been extensively tested and designed by gamers for gamers. Players will take their turn each round to strengthen their tactical advantages and defend the borders of their nation. Each turn is broken down into Phases. Players must complete each previous phase in order to proceed onward with the rest of their turn. If a player decides to enter into combat with another player, they must, along with their opponent, roll a set number of D12 dice to determine the outcome of each individual battle. The Conflict uniquely deducts a combat penalty from the player with the weakest military strength in a territory. This combat penalty is taken off all of their dice rolls during the individual combat. The combat penalty allows for the strongest opponent to have a real-world advantage over their enemy, if they have a larger military presence in the area. Players can develop multiple (land, naval, and air) strategies to succeed. They can utilize 11 military units with unique capabilities to complete specific goals, upgrade technology, play one of three victory scenarios, as well as try a variety of player preferences.
