The Great War 1914-1918: Clash of Empires

And I said, that in this case perfection took 12 years, and we are still waiting. Exactly what part of my post made you unsure ?

[bgugs]

Well the fact that it isn’t released yet means that its not perfect (whether it be rulebook wording, coloring, whatever). So in saying this took 12 years to be perfect and we are still waiting seems contradictory to me.

[Imperious Leader]

Right. we want to be careful not to make past mistakes of other games.

[bgugs]

How are the colors and rules coming?

[Imperious Leader]

Not sure one guy is going to China to sort out colors, Rules in process of tweeking still.

Problem is we pick a color and it comes out different when the piece is made.

Assuming your quantities are high enough provide the manufacturer with Pantone Color Match Codes. It’s the worldwide standard for precise color matching and any reputable manufacturer will be able to get exactly the color you asked for assuming quantities that make it worthwhile for them.

Pantone Color Match Codes

Thats what we use, but the color we see on computer and with the actual piece sample don’t look the same.

Computers will display differently based on settings.
You either need a pantone color code book or to have your display calibrated to actual print colors (not as easy) to see the actual colors.
(speaking from 17 years in printing and 3 years of plastics manufacturing experience all using Pantone color codes)

I have not been getting notifications from this thread, but I am surprised that it takes this long. I know it needs to be good without problems, but darn!

[bgugs]

Is there going to be pre ordering available for this?

[Imperious Leader]

Yes but no date yet

Yes, agree, but you know IL have to mind his day job too, so he only have evenings, weekends and some holidays to work on this project. Just hope I get this game before our Lord and Savior come and pick me up due to my high age and heart condition. Based on this thread, I would not make a bet.

[Flashman]

Hold out for another decade and they’ll fit you with a plastic heart. You can pretty much live forever then. Which you’re gonna need to do if you want to ever play this game.

[Grimwolf]

What’s the status with this game is it still in the works or has it been cancelled

[Imperious Leader]

No chance of cancelling. This year , but no date for official release.

[bgugs]

How is this going?

[Imperious Leader]

Combat section is being rewritten yet again for clarity. Should have that completed by end of month. Thats basically the holdup

I was wondering why you made Corfu French? Is it for balancing purposes?

[Imperious Leader]

It has a value of 1 for recruiting, meaning the french player can “build” one infantry there. Also, the Serbian player can retreat to Albania and lastly Corfu during land combat ( does not require sea transport). It was made French because they occupied in early 1916 till end of war. We needed to assign them a French color due to this.
