Look's like Avalon Hill has a new game

The Shogun is a TripleA map and currently in Beta and is still therefore a WiP.

It is a collaborative map between Ebbe (Graphics) & TheDog (Code)

A historical map set about 1561 Japan, intended for many players to play a Free for All with the balance being played by the Hard AI 11 playable factions, comprising 10 Samurai Clans and the Ikko Ikki with Wako Pirates collectively called the The Rebels, all in their starting historical Provinces/Territories Clan Politics has 3 relationships, War (default), Neutral and Allied Large size map 11264x6140px, amongst one of the largest TripleA maps, with Unit size equivalent to 68x68px (54x54px x1.25 unit size). It is hoped that this is usable on 4K screens. The map has lots of Mountain Passes, lots of uncrossable Mountains and Rocky Shores channelling forces.

This is on Table Top Simulator now for anyone interested. Rules have been updated on the TTS version, still have yet to update this forum post. If I see interest, I will post the new stuff on here.

Just bought this and it’s predecessor 1812: Invasion of Canada. Both great games, I recommend them both!

@toblerone77:

Never played this one. Though I do own it because I got it for FREE, and had cool parts.

Same for me (except for the part about getting it for free).  I particularly like the standard infantryman, with the raised rifle and pith helmet, whose design fits nicely for possible use as a WWII British or French colonial infantry unit.  The size is just right, the detailing is pretty good and there’s a wide range of colours available. The single drawback is the rectangular base, since it contrasts so much with the round bases of the OOB and HBG units.

Well Dead Island SUCKS. It’s like playing GTA and Mortal Combat….with Zombies.

Totally nothing but constant “jobs” for you to complete, mostly alone. The game is hardly Multiplayer and you don’t get any guns till near the end and it is just one large map.

Left 4 Dead is 1 million times better.

It is basically impossible for you to play with friends since the game decides when you are at a similar mission level to “join” other people.

Trash can product. :x

I own Tide of Iron, looks great but I haven’t played it yet.

Looks great. I want one. How much?

It’s one of the best DS strategy games out there.

Age of Empires: Kings/Mythology are both good.
They are porting Jagged Alliance and it should be out soon as well.
Panzer Tactics is pretty good too.
