Check out this new (sorta) AA style game!

@iwillnevergrowup said in Can an Axis and Allies -style US Civil War game actually work?:

It absolutely can work, and work well.

Robert Otto created one in May 2022 called Total Civil War 1861-1865 and had it produced in limited quantities as a full boxed set … but at $350 a copy it was expensive (though considering only about 50 … maybe 100 … were printed, it makes sense to me (as a publisher)).

Unfortunately I don’t think he plans on doing it again and the website he had for taking orders is no longer available.

As for why it wasn’t released by MB/Wizards/Et.al. is probably because of a lower demand (even if only perceived) vs other projects. They also pretty much abandoned anything new or novel for the line quite a long time ago and just updated or tweaked and rehashed everything repeatedly. Their last great ‘innovation’ was A&A Zombies. Now that it’s in the hands of Renegade Games, who knows; they’re more open to new games.

Yes it can as will stated. I do have the game

Listened to audiobook on Thucydides’ History of Peloponnesian War. Has anyone played board game titled Hellenes: Campaigns of the Peloponnesian War? Would make a great multiplayer game. A&A has WWI, Napoleon, Punic 270 BC, variants, but not Peloponnesian Wars (Athens vs Sparta). Would be interested in working together with anyone willing to develop a Greek city state variant for this website.

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

It’s all about the social club and and teammates with rematches also win streaks and losses
  As an S.C.A. member I like my shield and sword or long sword or two weapons

@allboxcars:

Actually it’s a re-print and I think the original rocks.

What do you think a good price would be for it?

Well a few years ago my friend bought it for $35 at a mall.
But I’m sure this Edition will be more expensive only because prices have gone up.

I’m sorry I don’t understand what each player represents, are you different middle eastern countries or maybe international peace organizations.

Because if your something like the UN or a NGO shouldn’t your goals be to protect terrorist safe heavens and combat ethnic cleansing with non-violence

And if your suppose to be a Middle Eastern country wouldn’t your goals be to blow stuff up( I mean a dictator is little more than and A&A player that turns fantasy into reality)

Or are you God because he would just flood everything and start over

I actually thought that I was buying Cities and Knights, but like an idiot bought the 5-6 player C/K expansion instead. It’s next on my list.

I’d have a lot of fun contributing to a Settlers website. I don’t play much A&A anymore (college and all), but I do play a lot of Settlers, Atlantic Storm, and Illuminati.

I pulled mine out of a closet a few months ago.  It slipped my mind for years that it was in their.  You’re right i forgot the tower thats because i’m always the orcs and want to forget trying to get the crossbowmen off the tower every freakin time.  Eh!
