WWI

This may be a bad time, given events going on in the US right now, but I think there could be a workable firefighting game based on Axis and Allies. One side are the firefighters, which “attack” into hexes that have fire units in it, while the firefighters also have aircraft and fire trucks acting like tanks. The “fire” side simply possesses fire units attacking the firefighting side, trying to take territory to make more fire (it takes place in a forest, so a fire taking wooded area obviously is able to increase the ability to make fire units). The fire’s goal is obviously to take the firefighters’ “capital”, while the goal of the firefighters would be to destroy every fire unit in a short amount of time.

Thoughts?

Added new rule clarification:

If the British units in Paris are destroyed prior to France’s turn, France gets 4 infantry for free.

This is an old thread.

Hi,

Empires of History: WWII will also be releasing in March of 2006. It too will be using our new style of game counters and has about 1,200 full color oversized chit counters.

The game will come with laminated maps. Two of them actually. One for Europe and one for the Pacific. Each map is approximately 21" x 33". The maps include the primary areas of battle in both Europe (Meaning Europe, Russia, North Africa, Middle East) and the Pacific (China, India, Japan, Australia and the pacific out to about Midway). The rest of Africa and both North and South America are represented by a nmber of off map zone boxes along the edges of the maps. But we have plans to release all three as map expansions later.

Anyway, we’re still working and completing the last of the design work on the map, so we don’t have that to show. But all the units are done and at the printer right now, as is the play testing. So we have the last of the graphical design on the map to do and the rules to layout for printing.

The game will now retail for $47.95.

We will also be releasing Empires of History: WWII Extra Armies ($11.95) which includes the color counters for all the neutrals in the world, as well as WWII: Alien Invasion as a variant to be played with the core game.

Looking it over it does seem that your game is impressive.  I’ve always tried to keep up with Imp on what was going on because I really liked their East & West game, but it looks like I might have to give up on the Great War.
