@GeneralHandGrenade:

I was thinking about maybe making a trip for this or perhaps for the FMG con in Oshawa if that’s happening again this year. Which one would be better for a dedicated A&A player like myself?

Yeah, as YG said, definitely FMGCon. September 23/24 this year (just waiting on confirmation of the hall booking)

AVAILABLE NOW!

@IWillNeverGrowUp:

We’ve been asked this a couple of times. We have the authority to do whatever we want with the stock that we have. The issue arises when we do this and end up with a ton of individual pieces that (for whatever reasons) don’t sell yet we’ve paid for them as full sets. It’s a potential inventory nightmare for a small hobby company with limited funds.

It’s possible that we may be able to if we can figure out a way to do it well and not take a big hit on it. That’s going to take some time though. Really it’s mostly just the potential dead inventory issue. If we could perhaps get an idea of what people want most and/or what they do not want at all in those sets, it may make it easier. Perhaps I’ll have to make a poll on it in the near future!

I certainly understand and figured that may be the case. Thanks for the info. If you make a poll, I will definitely vote.

can it be CanCon? Or CanaCon?  Both are awesome.

Canada has more gamers than any other Northern Hemisphere former commonwealth nation!  Build it and they will come!

Project Funding Cancelled

I hope everyone is having a great long weekend here in North America with Canada Day and Independance Day having arrived (and just a great weekend otherwise for the rest of the world)!

RETREAT!

It took a lot of deep thought to decide to cancel this projects funding at this point. There were numerous times throughout that I thought I should just cancel and others where I thought it would be best to run out the clock.

With that, and with heavy heart, funding for Into the Black has been cancelled, for now!

Thank you everyone for your support through this process. A lot has been learned and the errors that were made have been noted and will certainly be addressed.

REGROUP!

Don’t worry, I’m not giving up on it, not by a long shot!

Cancelling this project is not a bad thing; in fact it’s a start of a new, exciting and better phase of the game!

Plans are already in motion for relaunch, but I’m going to take the time to do it better!

In those plans are things such as looking at ways of reducing the funding goal if possible, adding in some of the stretch goal content as part of the base game, upgrading the tile art and looking deeper into the possibility of miniatures, a play through video, better images of the game, more previews, more advertising, more demoing … more of everything!

Stay tuned for updates, and please join our mailing list at www.iwillnevergrowup.com/newsletter for more info and advance notifications.

Don’t abandon ship! Into the Black will be published, one way or another!

NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER! We’ll be back matey’s!

Cool vid.'s I’ve played the 42 a few times, Japan turns into a monster, Russia can go on the offensive, Germany has a tough time. We split the U.K.'s income, they need help in the Pac., if you played as one income that might make a difference. America needs to dump in the Pac.
I cant wait to see more video’s

I posted a method of a simple calculation of the requirements for industrial chips or paper money (bucks), for each version of the Axis and Allies game. I think the results are somewhat revisionist compared to the existing sets in use. It is a good basis for everyone to configure the set that suits them, knowing the real requirements of each game. This is shown in the link below:

@suprise:

Great pics
Next year I’ll be there with 2 G 40 games and set up a second edition and one like Ozteas
Now that the days are getting shorter and cooler weather you’ll see my face here more often
S.A.

We look forward to seeing you there SA! The A&A area was definitely busier this year than last. Then again, the entire event was busier!  lol.

A ton more pics have been added to the FMGCon facebook album. I’ll be adding them to the website album some time soon as well.

Great Idea, just keeps getting better and better… can’t wait.

@IWillNeverGrowUp:

See original post for update.  Photos are up at www.fmgcon.com (under Galleries on the menu)

Great pics… really shows the game diversity at this convention… I had a blast, can’t wait until next year.

Thanks.

2015 should be July.

If you took any pictures (good or bad) at #FMGcon2013 would you be so kind as to please forward them to us to add to the photo gallery at the website?  www.fmgcon.com

You can send any photos to info@fmgcon.com and we’ll get them edited and up on the gallery!

Thanks!  And thanks for making this years event great, once again!

Thanks for sharing the video.  The Event was amazing.  Can’t wait until next year.

It slows down US shuck to Europe too much, but it does help get those Canadians across when the UK is shucking its transport fleet between Picardy-London-Karelia.

If I were Germany I’d feel completely cheated by the Revolution. UNLESS it created a new Bolshevik power friendly to the Central powers…

@ossel:

I find it interesting that none of the games posted on this forum have ended with the victory conditions that are stated in the rules…which doesn’t really surprise me due to the nature of the war, but I kind of wish there had been more of a design consideration for alternate game endings, besides ‘we don’t feel like playing anymore.’

Flashman, remember what Sun Tzu said:

Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.

I think the Allies are giving up too soon as well, but taking Moscow is a major morale victory for the CP’s, and it seems to be very effective.

[Edit]: I guess revolution was triggered in this game, but the effect is similar.

Hey Paul, thanks.

As we have time we’re working on adding things to it.  It’s a slow process (with full time jobs, family obligations AND the gaming news and sales business) but it’s getting there.
