The Great War 1914-1918: Clash of Empires
-
Not all of Africa, besides the Middle East which had alot of warfare compared to all of Africa is featured. The War in Africa was very small in terms of scale, much like how Western States are treated in any Civil War game.
-
True, true, but still I kind of liked the Africa thing, but anyway sorry for bringing up an ‘arguement’, I just wanted reasons. Well hopefully it turns out well. Hope it’s worth the money.
-
In the areas that matter, you get plenty of space for big piles of units.
Also, I already made a Afrika map and special rules which will be a download after the game is released, that you can play on the side ( smaller scale than original map, about 18 x 24) You could blow this up i suspect and make it fit.
-
Ooh now that sounds pretty cool!
-
Well it was going to be a surprise, but you dug it out of me!
-
Haha, sorry. I’m sorry if I was a little rude, I was just needing answers because 120 bucks is a lot in general, I need to make it count :-)
-
yep, but this is one you want to get. Its packed with good stuff!
-
Yep, can’t wait. Thanks for making it.
-
It’s been a while. Do you have release date? Also, does the Africa fit with the Europe part? Are there enough pieces for both? (Will there be extra?)
-
Sorry I meant: Will you sell it blown up a little though?
-
The Afrika Expansion will be free. The map is too scale and would prove to be way too large. Its just a side map about 20 x 24, but you will clearly see the top of africa which corresponds to the actual game map. No release date sorry
-
Ok, that’s fine I guess. Will there be sea on the Africa map? It’s a bummer that there is no release date.
-
Yes with naval units
-
Ok, then I guess I will just have to blow it up, or just deal woth a small map.
-
Yes you can do that, but for sale its gonna be 5 feet tall x 3.5 feet
-
I also just noticed that the Russian, German and Austrian peices colors look alike. Is it easier to tell in person?

Is this game still alive? Because I followed this thread for years and it was nearly finished in 2013.
Hard to believe that I will ever hold this little plastic soldiers in my hand though I want to buy this game so badly, twice… Would putting the project on kickstarter do any help? -
Yeah I’m also really eager to get it! Even if I play only 2-3 times haha.

by color only, however i am trying to get HBG to produce a set of infantry pieces in correct colors so that at least those are unique.
The game is coming out this year, but dont have date yet

_The Conflict is a global-strategy based game designed around the economic and military conditions of Europe in 1914. Players play in one of two alliances, The Central Powers or The Allied Powers, to defeat their opponents. Players choose among seven nations (Austria-Hungary, Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Ottoman Empire, and Russia). After selecting a nation, players take turns completing their objectives during each round.
The Conflict has been extensively tested and designed by gamers for gamers. Players will take their turn each round to strengthen their tactical advantages and defend the borders of their nation. Each turn is broken down into Phases. Players must complete each previous phase in order to proceed onward with the rest of their turn. If a player decides to enter into combat with another player, they must, along with their opponent, roll a set number of D12 dice to determine the outcome of each individual battle. The Conflict uniquely deducts a combat penalty from the player with the weakest military strength in a territory. This combat penalty is taken off all of their dice rolls during the individual combat. The combat penalty allows for the strongest opponent to have a real-world advantage over their enemy, if they have a larger military presence in the area. Players can develop multiple (land, naval, and air) strategies to succeed. They can utilize 11 military units with unique capabilities to complete specific goals, upgrade technology, play one of three victory scenarios, as well as try a variety of player preferences.
