Thanks for the feedback. Most of the rules for the game were crowd sourced from those actually playing an axis and allies style game. The game was never intended to be a historically accurate representation of the American civil war…as are the axis and allies WW2 games. They are themed games. You are welcome to try it out on Steam tabletop simulator if you have it before casting any kind of judgement. It really is a fun game that challenge players. If you want more historically accurate games, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
WAR ROOM II - The Sequel
-
Room update: Added a BMW R75 motorcycle and sidecar to my 1/35 scale war room diorama of a German column heading West - quite a tiny project compared to the huge B-29 hung over the game table…
There are four new painted soldiers, which I find more work than fun to do, but they do add a lot to the scene when done.
And lastly, I built some larger wooden trays to hold game pieces - these have 20 divisions for pieces instead of the old ones which had 12. There are empty spots available for any future unit additions desired.
-
Wow, those are certainly, awesome additions to your war room. Very cool. :-)

Very nice! Â Any army is always happy to get some additional divisions. Â :-D Â Great looking diorama too.

Hey! I have that same Sd.Kfz. kit… mine is in a much less complete Afika Korps. state currently. Cool stuff DK.
-
Very nice indeed. I see your using the sub pen markers from HBG too. I was going to go for the 3-D markers but I got cheap. Maybe if I printed my map a little larger I would have gotten them.
-
Yeah I may get the 3-D ones later…so far nobody uses them that much.
-
Do you play Bolt Action DK? Those models look great.

No - never heard of it - can you send me a link?

How did I miss this! Wow! That is one incredible game room. Love the Enola Gay and other models.
-
Yes indeed sir.

Yes indeed sir.
Thanks - looks like some pretty cool looking stuff over there…

I recently added a strip across our Production chart that shows Victory Levels. A magnetic “clock” symbol keeps track of which round it is. The number of rounds it takes your side to win determines your Victory Level.
Levels of victory are Glorious Victory, Major Victory, Standard Victory, Minor Victory, and Dubious Victory.
Dubious victory means that it has taken you so long to win, your country has lost excessive blood and suffers from war exhaustion. It is debatable whether you can even say you “won” the war.
The purpose of the Victory Levels is to encourage players that know they are going to lose to press on hoping for a better result. Then you can have new challenges, such as how long can you hold out vs. superior forces, or how do you manage a large income in order to bring about quick defeat.
I also added Gunther Prien’s U-47 for display in the War Room…

It is always great to see your new editions to your war room. I like idea of different victory levels. It adds more fun to the game.
Cheers!

I love it, I wish I had the room :( When I lived in WA a few years ago I had an extra room… I moved to the OC here in CA, too expensive here to have an extra room lol.
I few of my favorite things about your room:
1- Love the hats!
2- “Enemy ears are listening”
3- Snack station!Your dioramas look nice as well, thanks for the pics!
-
I never had an extra room until after I turned 50 - I’m thankful I was able to do this after 30 years of wishing! I tell my wife it’s a much cheaper hobby than buying a bass boat or something.
-
Wait wait wait here. I have a extra room and a boat ! 🎣 And yes I’m over 50 too ! And yes fish fries are cheaper ! Lol. Very nice Der !
-
New youtube channel where I give a tour of the war room here….
-
Awesome job on the video DK.
I encourage everyone to watch this and dream that you could have as sweet a room as this. -
Thanks GHG - I really enjoy watching yours and others’ videos - hopefully I can contribute some good things…
-
nice video DK
maybe you could do one explaining the game. You’ve got a lot of cool rules. Let us know who wins. :-D
