Hey everyone,
The creator of Axis & Allies Larry Harris Jr. has been designing a new WW2 strategy board game for the past 4 years, and he is almost ready to launch an ambitious kickstarter campaign to get it into our own war rooms. I have stickied this thread which will act as a conversation forum for WAR ROOM… a game by our favourite game designer, it will be published by Nightingale games, and available to back this fall 2017.
For more information about WAR ROOM, checkout the following links…

Concern:
USA sends units to Moscow via Trans-Siberia railway.
To counter, Japan occupies Soviet Far East, violating treaty and forfeiting 5 morale.
Thus, treaty is worthless unless US/UK units not permitted in Russian tt.

Can’t the Japanese navy block that?
This is a recent read on the game. Found it to be pretty good.
This game looks amazing from all the component and game play videos I have seen. :) Is anyone else going to be backing the Kickstarter campaign? Please do! It has already nearly achieved all of its stretch goals! :lol:

Thank you guys!
Got to get me some of those extra thick cards. Larry will be up all night gluing extra strips on.
I’m in :-)
One year to go… :-o

looks I am too late to the party. No option I can see to pledge, campaign closed. Shame on me…

Successful Kickstarter campaigns will produce many copies and not just the ones they promised the backers… no fear, if you truly want one, they will be available after the Kickstarter backers get theirs.

There is a possible, limited time option. Over on BGG, someone is trying to “sell” their backing of War Room - You give them money, they change the shipping address to yours. Whether or not this is advisable, or even viable, is not something I’m going to get into. But if you feel like rolling the dice, you can find the relevant thread here:

many thx for the encouraging replies.
As for BGG, I like the site, but I wont do that. I trust YG has it right and there will be a copy available, maybe even the one I would have paid for.
Nightingale Games has said that they hope to have copies on their on-line store(possibly launching as early as spring 2018), but quantity, quality, and price may vary from the KS campaign version.
Keep an eye on their KS campaign page, Nightingale Games website and facebook page!
Their will be options,

thx, will do!
This is something I really want to add to my collection.
