This sucks… where are all those spies??! Photos?! something… those guys at AH sure know how to make a great game fall on the rankings…
-
Spys will be interrogated shortly. They have failed in their mission. Heads will roll.
I think WOTC pulled a news blackout and didn’t allow a copy of the game to be viewed.
-
:cry:
thats sad… :| -
I wouldn’t necessarily count the “spies” out yet. It’s possible they’re just enjoying themselves at GenCon, and will post something when they get home.
-
lets hope so and lets hope that the spys have an explanation for this.
-
maybe there is … no such game ?

@Craig:
Go read Greg Smorey’s write up about the demo game that he and five others played at Gen Con Indy:

Any explanation why the WOTC folks took the game away?
I suppose I should just register and ask over at Greg’s forums. :oops:
-
So, is the game double-sided, or single-sided?

from smorey:
In game we played, one of the big reasons the Allies won, the Allies just beat down the Germans. The US and the UK just bombed the hell out of Germany and it really hurt them to the point of having almost an impossible time recouping infantry to defend the Russian onslaught…yes, in the new game, bombing IC now places damage on the IC in the amount of hit tokens and the IC’s must be repaired at a cost of one IPC for each damage token on the IC. IC’s may be bombed for up to twice the original amount of the territory cost. SO, in the case of Germany at 10, could be bombed up to -10 in IPC cost. Thus, having to repair all damage before producing out of that IC. And yes, lets say Germany was hit for 7 damage over two runs by the UK and US, then on Germany’s next turn, they could only produce 3 units out of Germany unless damage was repaired to a value in which they could produce more…
this brings in a whole new strategy of waves of bombers!
the other thing that was surprising and great was they made transports useless as fodder like we have in AARHE making them have a value of zero, where you just fly a plane over and all the lone transports go bye bye!

@Imperious:

That is going to be interesting to see how that plays out.
The other thing I want to know more about is the new tech advances. In the quote from Greg Smorey he said that they were diffrent. Most players I know don’t use them. The caspian sub group recomends agienst most of them. I wonder if this also will make a pivotal shift like the new bomber concept.

-
yes, there are new techs and old ones have been dropped.
-
With this new bomber rule I think I may bring back the old Paratrooper house rule. I only say that b/c I may buy bombers now.
