Shootout the game

@iwillnevergrowup said in Can an Axis and Allies -style US Civil War game actually work?:

It absolutely can work, and work well.

Robert Otto created one in May 2022 called Total Civil War 1861-1865 and had it produced in limited quantities as a full boxed set … but at $350 a copy it was expensive (though considering only about 50 … maybe 100 … were printed, it makes sense to me (as a publisher)).

Unfortunately I don’t think he plans on doing it again and the website he had for taking orders is no longer available.

As for why it wasn’t released by MB/Wizards/Et.al. is probably because of a lower demand (even if only perceived) vs other projects. They also pretty much abandoned anything new or novel for the line quite a long time ago and just updated or tweaked and rehashed everything repeatedly. Their last great ‘innovation’ was A&A Zombies. Now that it’s in the hands of Renegade Games, who knows; they’re more open to new games.

Yes it can as will stated. I do have the game

Ireland wasn’t partitioned until 1921, so this isn’t strictly accurate for 1919.

LOL that’s funny… I didn’t see it before.

And that vase is awfully suspicious…

Does anyone play the Saga Edition SWRPG online? I would be very interested in joining  if you’re not full.

I can’t get enough of this game. Regardless of how many other videogames I get, this one keeps finding it’s way into the disc tray. And I bought this game when it was released. Anyone else play?

For those who don’t know Battlestation Midway is a WWII RTS dealing with warships and airplanes with the ability to control any unit manualy. It’s pure gold to warship lovers.

Actually, if you are looking for something more new and cutting edge, you might want to try out this http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/gallery/1556/The-History-Channel-Civil-War/p1

:-D

I like both pretty equally. With regards to what you said about RTS skill being about memorizing hotkeys and such, I don’t bother attaining enough skill in this department just to be better at the game. (Maybe this is why I still haven’t beaten Starcraft or Warcraft 3?) But I still love RTS because of the fast-paced decision making! On the other hand, Turn-based is awesome because it allows alot of time for decision making. So as long as it’s one of the two extremes, I’m good to go. :D

I have a topic for that under Panzerblitz/PanzerLeader. A very good game I like the beach scenrios.
