Hearts Iron 2 and Gary Grigsby's world at war

Congrats on the successful funding! That’s no small feat, especially in the board game world. Looking forward to seeing more details on Song for War when you get the chance to share. Always interesting to see how different designers approach WWII mechanics, especially in the Med Theater, which doesn’t get as much focus. Good luck with the production phase, it sounds like quite the ride.

Anyone else vote in this? Think it would be nice to see some equal representation over those pansy euro worker allocation and tedious card games.

Head over and vote for your favorite A&A boardgames, and whatever others are left over after you fill the slots with A&A.  :-D

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.

Okay so I know what your all (okay maybe only a few people like me) are thinking. “Why don’t we have a good Axis and Allies WWI game?”. Well heres a thread to post all your ideas for the game. Maybe we can get Larry or Krieghund to look at it and maybe it’ll give them some ideas. Heres mine.

When they make it I hope they do seperate fronts. With a Med. board, a Europe board, and a Africa board. Maybe even Pacific.

I played through the first couple of levels for the Xbox 360. It’s not a bad FPS and the story line for the game is pretty good. However, it plays just like the Ghost Recon series on 360 and it really has not outstanding qualities that I saw. I personally would go with Rainbos Six Vegas 2, so far it’s much better.

Hey CC, how does it feel to lose to the Swiss?  :evil: :evil:

Sure :))

it was a great game… and yes it did try out some elements used later in newer games.
The expansion was a bit easier than in A&A (you cant just bump a tank into a IC and then new small IC’s fly out and populate the world :D

But also remember Command HQ, the first realtime strategy game… and that also had elements that are used in A&A :)
