Empire Forge

One of our members has the game - I have seen it and shortly studied it.

It is very similar to Avalon Hills Third Reich which we played back in the 90’s.

We found inspiration from some of these rules and have adapted them into the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

PA has very little micro. But it is early.
They are releasing a big update sometime this week that is going to add units and overhaul current balance. Along with unit teleporters and UI changes/additions
PA price will be 40USD on release. DRM free, and will include a boxed version.

Adjacency bonus in supcom added no strategic depth IMO. It added complexity for no reason.
There were no options, you either new how they worked and used them, or didn’t and lost. Period. It was very unituitive and a detriment to the game. Regardless of how good it may sound on paper, it was very poorly implemented and the devs made a wise decision to not include them in future games.

I will admit that supcom2 release was rushed, but most if not almost all of the complaints: reasons people disliked it were adjusted:changed not long after release in patches.
It is not fair to criticize the devs for this, the same as it is not fair to criticize LH for the flaws in 1914. I doubt any good dev wants to rush a release at the expense of quality.

I would have bought that if I had known about it.

Not in this case, I’d say.  Pieces and map are superior.

Besides, the original rules are included in Eagle Games edition.  And you can buy it for $50.

The design of the Cheap Air Max 2012 has drawn on the design concept of the classic sports shoes. Nike Sportswear combined the latest technology and then spread the original design to various areas.The new air bag of Women Air Max 2011 was very large that even access to the side of the shoes so that the designers had removed the parts of midsole to make an exposed cushion.

  I have several copies of CotE. I got them to play miniatures with. Painted up and all the figures and paced them on multiple stands as cohorts.
The game was lacking special events, so we made up some cards. Gothic invasion- retreat all army units from Gaul, Vesuvius erupts- lose 1/2 units in southern Italy, Plauge in Athens- troops in Greece are decimated- lose 1/2 your force there. There were good cards too, like, Good harvest-gain 5 gold! Deplomacy- no one can attack you this turn, as long as you don’t attack anyone else.
It really livened up the game and cold put the brakes on someones steam-roller invasions. I liked it alot myself. I am tempted to get the newer version soon.
Played FA back in the 80s’ too, but didn’t like it as much as AA.
Shogun is a great multiplayer game due to the deplomacy. Had to paint those armies too.
Also had that Bucaneer game for awhile. Couldn’t get anyone to play it though, so I traded it for another CotE game, More cohorts!

I think Julius Ceasar said it best; “Now were in for it!”

ya,

i think that he might of also done a couple more.

I’ve got shogun but only just started playing it, lots of fun! Diplomacy is fun, and best when played with lots of players and lots of rooms to slink back to and negotiate. It’s been years since I played, we used to have a box to put your written moves down for each turn, of course nothing prevents you from showing your “allies” you move, stick it in the box, then slip in a new set of orders with “Supercedes previous orders”, backstarbbing is the name of the game…. :-)

Anybody here of a game called Nuke-war? A card game. What about a board game called apocalypse? Map of europe and north africa, 1 kind of piece, chains of various valued territries to get more men (2 green territories=1 man, 3 yellow=1, 4 tan=1 or 8 white=1). Combat was simple, you pick a # on a dice and so does the enemy. If the # is the same, you lose that # of men, if not, you win, he loses a unit and you get 1 stage to a new nuke missle or start a new missle with that stage. If the enemy is wiped out, you move that # of men in…
