Playtesters Wanted for A&A: North Africa by Renegade Games

@Matt-Hyra

No! I’m [not saying my age, but younger than 21], so I can’t participate.

No matter, I’ve never used and am not planning to use that simulator anyway

I wasn’t aware that Larry Harris is coming back. I was under the impression that he was done with Axis and Allies.

@Matt-Hyra I am an avid Axis & Allies player and would love to test the game out.

We are ready and willing to play test the new Axis & Allies North Africa game.

The core of our Axis & Allies Veteran Players are familiar with all Axis & Allies variants.

Concerning the online game platform, I’m not sure if our players have the time to install and use it.

We are all Game Board Players - FTF - Table Top.

All our Axis & Allies Veteran Members are at least 35years of age.

If a copy of the game board is ready for printing and use, we should be able to help you with the playtest.

We have all types of Axis & Allies playing pieces - from the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

Best regards
Captain

Hi @Matt-Hyra

Any news and updates on the Axis & Allies North Africa game ?

Is there a picture of the map at this point ?

[Matt Hyra]

@The-Captain Hello! We do not have the map to show yet. Not sure when the marketing team will want to release that or have any sort of previews. Certainly won’t be this year.

As to your earlier post (just saw it), things move a little too fast to do print & play testing.

Thanks,
Matt

@Matt-Hyra

Hi Matt,

Thanks - we already guessed that.

Naturally, we’re interested in some more details:

• Has play testing started - and if so, what is the game experience at this point?
• Are the game mechanisms identical to Global 1940 - or is it like Battle of the Bulge…?
• Which Nations are involved ?
• What is the Time Scale in the game (does the game start in 1940, 1941 or 1942…)
• Are there any new/special types of units or Combat Formations (Army, Army Group etc.)
• How does the map look like ?

And I’m sure that there are several other details players would like to know.

Ofcourse, our interest is intense - after all, we are the players who are going to buy - and play - the game. As well as spread the word out about the new game.

@The-Captain
I’m not really authorized to give actual previews, but I can tell you that playtesting has been underway for over 3 months, and continues to this day. This week alone has seen 4 games played.

There are several new rules/mechanisms to cover certain aspects of the theater.

That’s about all I can say. Rest assured that the marketing team with blitz you with info when the time is right.

@The-Captain

If there is a sea aspect (simulating the war in the Mediterranean, Malta, etc.), I would imagine it to might include some elements of Guandacanal.
