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

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.

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 ?

_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.
