The pieces will be available at the same time as released. In addition, a number of the 6x4 maps in roll up will be offered for sale.
Lastly, there’s talk of metal forts and sea mine sets as a separate purchase.

Thanks Marc for the help and explanation. That is a fun way to represent both systems. :-D
Back in 1943, the French battleship Richelieu joined the Free French side and was sent to (I think) the New York Navy Yard for a major refurbishment. The poor American shipyard workers got all sorts of headaches from this project because they were accustomed to working in the US version of imperial measurements while the Richelieu’s plans and components – probably all the way down to the level of its nuts and bolts – used the metric system.

Does this game have an entry on BGG? I couldn’t find one. You should submit a request for an entry.
-
If someone could do that, it would be great. For some reason im not allowed too. :lol:
-
I asked them not to.
-
Thats probably best
-
Flashy always knows best.

How is the Italian Entry working in your game?
Hopefully not the same ahistoric Austrian attack on Venice like in AA1914… -
Italy enters on turn 3 but only at war with Austria till turn 6. They cant be attacked early. No way to balance the game unless you have it Historical in this case
-
IL, can I order two copys directly from you??
Can´t wait. Do we get a mounted map? Will there be a deluxe version with painted figures shown in your posted photos?
-
Cant order from me per se sorry.
Mounted map yes
Painted set no, but publisher promises to offer a larger map in roll up form, set of metal forts, sea mines, and whatnot.
-
Looks great!
Is there a release date? Location to buy/pre order? Estimated price for the game?
-
Don’t know date for release, price about $99
-
So what happens when Italy attacks a tt containing Austrian and German units - do the Germans just stand there and watch their Hapsburg cousins getting slaughtered?
I prefer both sides making secret bids for Italian support - highest bid get control of Italy but pays its bid in IPCs to the bank.
You could do this for minor neutrals on scheduled turns.
-
They cant and normally the Germans have other things to do than just sit in southern Austrian countryside.
Actually, here is the exact rules for that:
Italy rule:
Italy is only at war with Austro-Hungary when they enter the game on turn 3. They do not go to war and attack the other central powers until turn 6, although Italy may be attacked by any of the central powers and going to war early with all of them if that happens.Units entering coalition territory:
Ottoman units cannot enter Germany or Austria-Hungary
German units cannot enter Austria-Hungary till turn 6
French, English, Italian, or American units cannot enter Imperial Russia or vice versa. -
Can Allied units enter Russia to fight the Bolsheviks after the November Revolution?
Not very historical without that.
You can’t just make Russia “off limits” because it had a revolution. Germany and the Allies were still very much involved in Russia after 1917.
Its one of those unhistorical game conventions, like America buying units before it declares war.
-
Can Allied units enter Russia to fight the Bolsheviks after the November Revolution?
Under optional rules:
Red Star/ White Star:
Once the Russia player falls, The Allied nations may attempt to land in Karelia. This move must start in the Norwegian Sea and takes up the full movement of naval units assigned to the operation. The landing units in Karelia must fight the remaining Russian forces (now Bolshevik and controlled by the German player). Occupation of any controlled areas in this manner, the income goes to the controlling Allied player.
Note: Capturing the former Imperial capitol does not bring back the Russian player back into the game.Not very historical without that.
You can’t just make Russia “off limits” because it had a revolution. Germany and the Allies were still very much involved in Russia after 1917.
The game provides this only the allies cant invade Russia or land while they are independent and still in the war.

Suggested Topics
_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.
