The Great War 1914-1918: Clash of Empires

@Flashman:

A BGG page wouldn’t do it any harm.

Oy vey, there’s no BGG page for this yet?

If it’s essentially ready to manufacture, get that BGG page up asap! It may seem trivial to many but it’s a great tool to have available, including for the end users who track their gameplays/wins/losses/scores/etc throughout the year (like myself).

[Ttfno]

Yes a BGG page would do well.

[John Brown]

IL, I can’t tell you how many times I use BGG as resource. I’m with everyone, it can reach people who may not know about this website. :-)

[Imperious Leader]

Well can somebody start one? I cant for reasons i can elaborate latter.

just make it basic, ill load up pictures and add content

thanks to anybody.

It looks incredible I can’t wait to order one

[GeneralHandGrenade]

Looks awesome IL. I thought it was going to be a global game I must have been thinking about something else. I hope to get a copy of this someday.

[Imperious Leader]

As an option, i offer a free download of a full Africa map to use as a sideshow game. A global map makes no sense for Asia since German colonies are mostly undefended and they had just a few cruisers causing problems.

[Imperious Leader]

As you can see the game is done except we need to get the rules explained very well and that means rewrite after rewrite. Producer did acknowledge that this will be done this year BTW.

The set up has also changed in favor of less pieces overall starting but in due time i will post the other setups which all have more player options which i am in favor of. Also, working on a 1917 setup so all or most players will start game with most technologies and USA is a player

[bgugs]

I know there is still things being worked out but is there an estimated release month/season?

[Imperious Leader]

nothing official, but i figure 4th quarter

[Chacmool]

Will the ottomans be just red/orange germans or do they get their own sculpture like in AA14?

[Imperious Leader]

no most of the colors will be different. Problem is we select a color and China makes it and somehow it looks goofy. The trick is to “calibrate their incompetence” in such matters and produce a color that they mistakenly make as correct.

Our goal is to use distinctive colors that work in most lighting situations and don’t look similar and not garish

I also have constant arguments about the gloss on pieces. I love it, producer not so much. The plastic is really high quality on these pieces, better than AA for sure.

The ottomans will be a deeper or darker ( stronger) color… more red but not red
Germany will be a tad darker
Austrians will be more light
Russia is totally messed up
Italy is too bright and will be more like the current Russians
The British and French are mostly correct

Also, we have a upgraded “Deluxe” set coming up. This will be an even larger map and some new pieces ( Sea mines, Factories, Coastal and Land forts, etc). Limited quantities of these. Not sure about custom dice.

Americans will be darker

[bgugs]

With the deluxe, is there a way to play the original on the deluxe board? And how large will the board be? I guess the first question assumes different rules for the deluxe. Is there different rules or just different pieces?

[Imperious Leader]

The original? The maps are the same one is just larger.

Same rules same game just the pieces represent whats on the map already, but they can be damaged and now we use chips to indicate damage with a dedicated piece.
