After making bigger maps for Global 1940 and Anniversary, Renegade is now putting up an enlarged 1914 map for pre-order:

@captainwalker the sculpts aren’t that blocky. its a CAD drawing since the actual units haven’t been made yet.
Agreed, those don’t look final. I feel like the box design also isn’t final.
@SuperbattleshipYamato It’s more final than you think.
Intriguing.
I have ordered mine .
Hi @Witt
yea think theres some new rules too. Glad Renegade took it over. Seems as if there actually trying to make A&A better :)
@barnee I am very excited . I have always loved the African campaign.
D10! Just watched the interview and caught that bit - love it!
That innovation alone should turn up the heat a bit for desert sands hehe
I just was thinking the other day how it might be time for A&A to start chasing that D20, since I’m pretty sure BG3 has made them more popular than they’ve ever been. Good call! I’m intrigued to see how it all unfolds
@Black_Elk said in North Africa pre-release:
D10! …That innovation alone should turn up the heat a bit for desert sands hehe
I agree, the D10 change alone is huge. No more dividing by 6 for hit counts!
Huh. I knew that plenty of players use d10 or above, but I never thought the hallowed designers would do such a thing.
I’m not saying it’s bad, but it’s certainly not something I’m used to. What Renegade is doing is definitely cool.
@Nuts I’m proud that they went with a D10 right in the face of releasing their “battle dice” accessory product.
It should go without saying- but it definitely doesn’t- great design should trump a marginal increase in sales. I don’t expect companies to sacrifice significant financial incentives for the sake of minor improvements, but in the world I work in (consumer electronics) it’s often the case that they’re willing to sacrifice significant design improvements for even the potential of a minor financial gain. Good on you, Renegade.
