Conflicts of Nations, World War 3.

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.

Volko Ruhnke took a lot of ideas from Twilight Struggle.  But the two do play quite differently from each other despite their similarities.

I haven’t played this in a while. Maybe my group missed something. It always seemed to me thought that France could easily hold its coast while running over Austria and even Prussia if necessary and then slowly over power Russia since they are making so much money at that point. I always found that Britain’s only chance was to try to run through Spain and hopefully do it faster than France gets through Prussia and Austria, then kill France from both sides. However, it has been a while and my opponents tended to also make major mistakes so that could have lead to me finding this game very one sided.

Anyone interested in kicking some tires via PBEM or PBF?

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.

I found this games, and it looks perty interesting, does anyone have it?
