The Great War 1914-1918: Clash of Empires
-
Well it can’t possibly be “fluffy”.
-
The producer also said in today’s conference call that he will make available a limited number of map prints on the mat material in 6 x 4 for purchase ( about $100 total for each)
I got clarification that the OOB map is mounted 3 x 5. He also hoping for a Christmas release, but it seems too soon based on it being just 12 weeks before Xmas.
But no official announcement yet, and no pre-order thing yet.
In case it wasn’t clear before, sets of all pieces will be made available for separate purchase. So you don’t need to buy tons of copies. But i would anyway because it will sell out and prices will jack up quick.
-
I hope it will be possible to buy it in Europe too.
What did the other playtesters say about the game compared to A&A1914?
Which alliance won last Saturday?
Is it possible to use the miniatures of TGW14-18CoE in A&A1914 without them looking like giants/dwarfs compared to the OOB ones?

I hope it will be possible to buy it in Europe too. ( i will check on that)
What did the other playtesters say about the game compared to A&A1914? ( most playtesters we have don’t like 1914, but at least 2 do have copies)
Which alliance won last Saturday? ( drawish, we played only till turn 7 before time ended)
Is it possible to use the miniatures of TGW14-18CoE in A&A1914 without them looking like giants/dwarfs compared to the OOB ones? ( in all cases yes, but once you got TGW pieces, nothing will ever be the same except perhaps Infantry sculpts are pretty close. Naval and everything else blows 1914 by infinity.

Are national colours sorted yet?
Only one power in green, please.
-
Italy is done in a light green. In fact we might have discovered something of sorts…
I am no longer fond of dark saturated colors. Over a period of hours we found that you can more effectively visualize the map and pieces if the colors of both had lighter hues and somewhat offsetting colors.
For example, the German pieces are grey and the German land areas are a different hue of grey.
The typical AA maps are too dark and dark territories and same colored pieces tends to “hide” them so it takes longer to calculate decisions during the player turn.

Great thinking, the black water from A&A Revised ed comes to mind

IL
Where will the game be sold when it’s available? Will you have a separate site or thru HBG? Want to make sure I don’t miss out! -

As an example of saturated colors that detract from “seeing” the board position, then yes.
The game will be sold at HBG and others.

Excellent. Good to hear this.
-
Hello IL,
I am very keen to order the larger limited edition map size, how do I give you my money?
Kind Regards,
AJ
-
You don’t. Wait till that announcement. At that time you will order direct from HBG or the publisher.
-
Can you tell us the name of the publisher?
-
@Imperious:
Wait till that announcement.

I don�t want to tick you off IL, plus I don�t know nothing about your other projects in work, but I still have to ask you:
Before A&A1914 was released, Larry Harris wrote some reports from his walk through Round 1.
It really built up excitement in my opinion.It would be marvellous if we could read a weekly “Report from the front” of your auspicious game!
Just think about it.
For me thats the best way to get introduced to the rules and mechanics of the game.
At least this makes more fun than reading the 40 pages of rules at a stretch. -
I was thinking about that, but not till official release date announcement.
Plus we are adding some more optional rules.

here are some pics of recent game:

You playtest on the kitchen, when you eat ? I guess you spill more than coke on that map
-
Looks promising but its also a little bit frustrating that there is no release date announced yet.
Hopefully you changed some false tt-names like the Isonzo-tt in Italy or Kosovo in North Serbia.
I would buy all of this beautiful miniatures anyway!!
-
Oh no!
I thought they’d cleared up the fake tt names. Kosovo should simply be Serbia. Belarus and White Russia are the same thing in Russian and English. What’s with the big Budapest tt? Holland should be Netherlands. Sardinia worth the same as Italian industrial heartland of Piedmont?
Overall I must say I much prefer the graphic style of this map to the muddy appearance of recent A&A games; though I still feel that plain green for land tt is best; after all national colours for tts becomes obsolete after the first turn.
And no UK-Russia convoy? How are the Allies going to get troops over to fight the Bolsheviks?
