• It is not coming out till 2012 as per their own site.


  • I would mix and match table tactics pieces for Central Powers with this game.

    I think that the combat system is not the same as regular A&A.

    My guess is that units move into a zone with enemy units and there is only 1 round of combat per turn (like A&A D-Day).  No moving out of the contested space until all enemy units are cleared.

    As we saw in D-day, this could take several turns when both sides are feeding units into the contested space.  I think that this system would work quite well to mimic stagnation on a front, and also creating huge attrition losses.


  • there we go, I bet jim figured it out ! atleast it makes more sense then it have unlimited rounds of combat.

  • Customizer

    I’m just guessing, but this is the only combat system that that I know of that could replicate WW I stagnation and attrition.

    If this is the system they are using, then I think the map they have is appropriate.

  • Customizer

    I think I’ll buy this regardless .  Even if I play it once, it would still cost more to go out and watch a movie with the family.

    But I DON’t like the ommision of the US.  They should be represented as a separate power.


  • It is nonsense to not have the United States represented.

    Somehow, after initial enthusiasm for this game, I feel less than sure about it.

    The inaccurate map, the lack of Zeppelins, no USA units…

    I want to buy it it, but I’ll be wary.

    If the combat system is what I suspect it to be, it will work well.  For the money, I think it is worth it.


  • We can always add the USA units and taylor it to our needs as has always been done in the past with Axis and Allies games.  Can’t the map be downloaded and changes made to it after we have it in our hands???


  • The game has US represented. They are just using blue pieces since USA comes at the end. Just paint some blue pieces green and you got it. All the pieces have the same sculpts anyway.

    You can always draw a micro map for France adding new areas.


  • I think I’m going to buy one, I can always customize it with my own pieces, is anyone thinking of making a better map that we can download and print? 
    Also, I can’t seem to find any other WW1 A&A type games out there, are there any?


  • theres no existing officale A&A games out there, but imperious leader made one a while back and it looked great. I’m working on one but keep getting playtesting set back (damn map keeps ripping :() and I think a couple other user made some.

    I am now consulting LEGION GAMING on the creation of this game.  I have drawn their attention to your comments here and will continue to work with them to improve the game overall.

    This will set back the release but I am sure will lead to a much better game!

    Please continue to comment.

    Thanks

    I actually considered recommending the side map.

    Let’s be honest here… The USA had limited and very LATE involvement in the War.  Japan is also not included right?  …and they were involved from the begining.

    And only Germany had Zeppelins…

    Zeppelins where only a “terror Weapon” that really did not change the course of the war right?

    I have been involved with the game design to improve it.

    The game is going through final playtesting right now before it moves to the production phase.

    I agree that the game needed work so I offered my assistance to improve it.

  • Customizer

    What is the combat system like?  Typical AA or more like D-Day?


  • Ok, so the Germans produced only about 20 tanks during WW1,

    absolutely no effect upon the War, so why will the Germans have tank units in this game?

    The Zepplins were an important part of the War effort for the Germans,

    not decisive in any manner, but still important to their war effort

    and they are not represented at all???!!

    Big mistake.

    And the United States’ entry was decisive in the War,

    w/o fresh American troops the War would have continued for many more years.

    The Germans realized this and went for broke and failed.
