Let me introduce you to Phoney War, a grand strategy WW2 game for 2-3 players. Phoney War consists of two games in one: Race to Berlin, the 3 player version, begins in 1939 and features a setup inspired by history. Phoney War: Prelude to War is our two player version, and begins sometime in the early 1930s. It plays out very differently from the three player game, and should appeal to the alternate history crowd, or those who just like two player games more.

Some features: Diceless combat resolve. Fog of War mechanic. East and West share a common enemy in Germany, but are nonetheless competitors - single player victory!

Please see my instagram to follow along with the development story of Phoney War, and read some primers on our original and intriguing game mechanics.

@vicombat
I would have to say that the visuals could be a bit more concentrated on the game itself.

@redrum Sounds about right. I’ve never played the original though.

This is on Table Top Simulator now for anyone interested. Rules have been updated on the TTS version, still have yet to update this forum post. If I see interest, I will post the new stuff on here.

@Chacmool:

“Mensch ärgere Dich nicht” is still THE game to play in Germany when family comes together on sunday afternoons.  My oma wins almost every time

Keep her away from Axis & Allies – she might turn out to have natural talents at playing that game too, and just imagine how you’d feel at having your grandmother slaughter you in a Global 1940 duel.

@Monroe:

What are the suggestions for the best WWII Hex & Counter game?

I’m looking for something global (Pacific + Europe) and something just European theatre.

Australian Design Group?  Case Blue? Rise of Third Reich?

Just trying to narrow down some options.

I play the Rise and Decline of The Third Reich for European Theater.

Just refreshing this thread
I’m big on Strat games
At the moment am playing Age Of Empires 3 again after a layoff of well over a year, forgot how enjoyable that game is
Also play but not so much any more
C&C Generals
Age of Mythology
Dawn of War.

Anyone willing to play AoE 3 send me a message.
