Yes - I believe he pieces are the same scale.

@Brain:
Yes - I believe he pieces are the same scale.
Now guess what, I too own this game, but some of my pieces was not in the old A&A scale.
The infantry are slightly bigger than the old A&A inf, but same size as the new A&A inf.
The tanks and fighters are way too huge.
The ships are almost same size as A&A, but they are not cut in the waterline, they actually come with the full hull, with rudder and screw and everything, man. -
You better listen to Aldertag as I do not have my game handy. It is in storage at the moment.

Better get used to the -karma. Everytime I log on I have 3 or 4 more. I think that there is someone who’s sole purpose for logging into this forum is to dish out -karma. Some people never grow up, or who knows maybe it is some kid. It’s definitely childish behavior. I’ll give you a +1 to make you feel better.

I have the game. I’ve played it several times and just the map was worth the cost. the pieces are the same or close enough. Adlertag is a smartass in case it isn’t clear…
-
Yeah, well I’m kind of a smart ass too. I thought the pieces were close in size but I haven’t had a chance to compare them lately.

I had a copy of this game as well. Has since been sold - not what I wanted.
As has already been stated, all countries have teh same German pieces.
The ships certainly be used in Axis & Allies. There was the Bismarck for a BB, Graf Zepplin for a CV, and the late late war type XXIII (is that the right designation? Can’t remember). I just prefer the waterline approach of Hasbro’s ships.
The planes are double the size at least. The fighter was a Me262.
2 types of infantry: regular and Waffen SS. They are a bit taller than Hasbro’s.
The artillery is about the same size - it is the rocket artillery used later in the war.
2 tanks: a regular tank that is a Tiger, and a heavy tank that is a Maus.
Their choice of pieces I really thought was odd to represent what they wanted, like teh fighter, sub, artillery and heavy tank. Especially when it came to the Maus for a heavy tank. The Germans only built 2 prototypes, and it was a complete failure.
The pieces are really nice, though. I kept 2 Tigers to use as heavy tanks for myself. I also kept 2 Russian Tigers and carved Josef Stalins out of them. Turned out well.
Cheers

Let me point out that even though I didn’t care for the game, customer service from Pegasus games was excellent. I had a badly crinkled map, and though the store Ai bought it from would do nothing for me, Pegasus shipped me out a new map the same day I talked to them.

How is the game itself?
Suggested Topics
_The Conflict is a global-strategy based game designed around the economic and military conditions of Europe in 1914. Players play in one of two alliances, The Central Powers or The Allied Powers, to defeat their opponents. Players choose among seven nations (Austria-Hungary, Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Ottoman Empire, and Russia). After selecting a nation, players take turns completing their objectives during each round.
The Conflict has been extensively tested and designed by gamers for gamers. Players will take their turn each round to strengthen their tactical advantages and defend the borders of their nation. Each turn is broken down into Phases. Players must complete each previous phase in order to proceed onward with the rest of their turn. If a player decides to enter into combat with another player, they must, along with their opponent, roll a set number of D12 dice to determine the outcome of each individual battle. The Conflict uniquely deducts a combat penalty from the player with the weakest military strength in a territory. This combat penalty is taken off all of their dice rolls during the individual combat. The combat penalty allows for the strongest opponent to have a real-world advantage over their enemy, if they have a larger military presence in the area. Players can develop multiple (land, naval, and air) strategies to succeed. They can utilize 11 military units with unique capabilities to complete specific goals, upgrade technology, play one of three victory scenarios, as well as try a variety of player preferences.
