The Great War 1914-1918: Clash of Empires

You may have already answered this, but do you plan to have a Kickstarter or similar setup so we can contribute to your costs?
-
No but it was considered. I kinda don’t believe in that sort of thing. I don’t gauge the audience willingness to buy something before its made because im not controlling when its made. I didn’t invest the money, i just made the game. Kickstarter seems like a looser place, for loosers who scam people and it doesn’t feel right.
-
So whats left for this game to be considered finished?
-
Rulebook was rewritten and needs formating and Battleboard had 5 spaces and only needed 4. Thats it
-
Sounds great! Definitely ready to order my copy
-
Good job. We just want to not have any part of the rules that are unclear, the rewrite was done by someone who has written hundreds of wargames rules and designed alot of games himself.

Larry Harris ?
-
No Harry Larris. Close but no Taco for you Foxy.
-
Have you shared a set up chart yet?
-
No and probably wont.

Nice pics, but if you want to sell this game to more people than just me, you better hurry up. Larry is soon on Kickstarter with a new A&A game, and funds among the casual players are limited.

I dont like the way you cut Norway in half, but I figure you did so because you dont want half the map with no actions what so ever.
You need a better camera, pics are blurry, I told you to stay away from cameras on sale.
Infantry and cavalry looks splendid. Maybe ships too, but pics too blurry. Bad camera.
Artillery is the King of the Battlefield, and they should not be tiny and small. I am not a big fan of petit artillery. Need a pincer to pick them up. If you got time, make a new mold.
Dug in infantry, or trench infantry. Do they move ? They look like they need a lorry or a truck if they want to move, at least if they want to take the pile of dirt with them. How do they work, they take two hits to kill, right ? The first hit kills the pile of dirt, the second hit kill the man, right ?
Anyway, I order 2 copies of this

Wow, that’s harsh especially considering the quantity of fantastic games that have been funded (and fully realized/delivered) via Kickstarter. The number of “scams” is probably in the range of less than 1% and they’re usually pretty obvious.
-
Yea sorry but that’s how i feel. Also, I don’t like the idea that “votes/pledges bring the product into being” I believe in just making a product like a real company, not posting some “wanted please give me money first so i can possibly fund a game, hello?”
It just sounds so weak and pathetic.

Awesome! Looks great; can’t wait to purchase and play it!!

Good for you. You will definitely enjoy this one.

I find it pretty hard to tell which piece is German and which piece is Russian on the eastern front.
They all look grey to me.
Doesn’t help that Austria is grey too.Is that going to be the final color for Russia? That’d be pretty confusing.
-
nope. most of the colors will be different
Only British and German kinda final

_The Conflict is a global-strategy based game designed around the economic and military conditions of Europe in 1914. Players play in one of two alliances, The Central Powers or The Allied Powers, to defeat their opponents. Players choose among seven nations (Austria-Hungary, Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Ottoman Empire, and Russia). After selecting a nation, players take turns completing their objectives during each round.
The Conflict has been extensively tested and designed by gamers for gamers. Players will take their turn each round to strengthen their tactical advantages and defend the borders of their nation. Each turn is broken down into Phases. Players must complete each previous phase in order to proceed onward with the rest of their turn. If a player decides to enter into combat with another player, they must, along with their opponent, roll a set number of D12 dice to determine the outcome of each individual battle. The Conflict uniquely deducts a combat penalty from the player with the weakest military strength in a territory. This combat penalty is taken off all of their dice rolls during the individual combat. The combat penalty allows for the strongest opponent to have a real-world advantage over their enemy, if they have a larger military presence in the area. Players can develop multiple (land, naval, and air) strategies to succeed. They can utilize 11 military units with unique capabilities to complete specific goals, upgrade technology, play one of three victory scenarios, as well as try a variety of player preferences.
