While I think having cuba be its own power would be cool, it would kind of like having New Zealand be its own power in g40. You would have to wonder how much they really contribute. Maybe you could make it so that the Warsaw Pact can pay to build units to support Castro and the gang in cuba, possibly at higher cost cuz of the blockades and embargoes and stuff, if the Warsaw pact is smart, like they were during the cold war, they’ll buff the hell out of cuba to prevent a traditional land invasion, and nukes aren’t always realistic. If they’re dumb then cuba will just be invaded and it will be an opportunity lost, which absolutely could have happened if the ussr wasn’t paying attention. I’m thinking about alternative rules where one or two players play each Nuetral category so it feels like they’re entities and not roadblocks, but I’ve got a ton of stuff I need to do before then soooooo… The setup for cuba will not change for balancing reasons, it accurately represents their power near it’s height, which was also the time when it was diplomatically plausible for the US to invade. For your expansion however, I recommend cuba starts the game Strict Nuetral with an army of one infantry.

Is this still expecting to be released in 2017?

It should be released November 11, 2018. Mark the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI.
We waited this long what’s another year.
-
I am fine waiting, just last I heard it was expected to be released this year so I was curious
-
Yea this year, looks like Christmas
-
Christmas release date or in time to order myself a Christmas present?
-
Yes, it will be a nice Christmas gift. Can’t wait. :-D

This is a nice variation of the traditional soldier’s wish that “the war will be over by Christmas”. In this case, we’re hoping that the war (game) will start around Christmas.

Would be nice!

Ok this game is coming out next year. The rules have been rewritten and its still not perfect and were not happy with it. The game is finished and nothing else is holding up things but the clarity of the rules. Sorry for the delay but keep note that i never made any official release date, but was going on assumptions.

The original post back from 2012 says this game has been play tested for 7 years. So this means this game has been in design stage for 12 years. :roll: Isn’t it a bit ridiculous for a board game to be in design stage for 12 years going in 13. Something smells fishy here.
-
Thats not correct. The game was not picked up by a company until more than a few years since we were playing it. Its not the case that its taken some company 10 years to develop this game. Once that occurred, the design was changed somewhat to make it easier to digest.
So nothing “fishy”
-
Couldn’t they hire a professional to write the rules?
-
We did but he “created” ideas that weren’t part of the game, so we hired another guy
-
Anything?

-
No new news. Will call Monday evening for update.
-
I feel like I fought the Great War after reading all of these posts. Can only imagine how imperious feels trying to get this done. This thread is almost as long time wise as the actual conflict.
-
I already submitted the work. The issue is the producer, but the good news is he is already pot committed ( no not “pot”) and spent money on development.
-
Have you considered using Kickstarter ?
