Good game!!

Hey Guys,

I saw on Smorey Swamp that Commanders and Tactics WW2 Deck Building Game was played at Gencon. I have been trying to find the game on BGG with no luck. If anyone knows this game and can provide a link that would be awesome.

Thanks heaps

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.

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!

WOW, you used all your games to play Janga.

@toblerone77:

Never played this one. Though I do own it because I got it for FREE, and had cool parts.

Same for me (except for the part about getting it for free).  I particularly like the standard infantryman, with the raised rifle and pith helmet, whose design fits nicely for possible use as a WWII British or French colonial infantry unit.  The size is just right, the detailing is pretty good and there’s a wide range of colours available. The single drawback is the rectangular base, since it contrasts so much with the round bases of the OOB and HBG units.

As far as being good, I liked it, but I like OV beer so……  Battles had no chance component, but trade cards could introduce some nasty events that can set you back.  Diplomacy and trading were how you won for the most part.  Optimizing your country for the geography and national goals were what I liked best.  But I am an optimization junkie.

@skinny1:

The only AA games would be a copy of AA42 and AAP40.

Selling your AAA games!!!    :-o :?

If you like turn based strategy games, then you’ll love this game.
