While I think having cuba be its own power would be cool, it would kind of like having New Zealand be its own power in g40. You would have to wonder how much they really contribute. Maybe you could make it so that the Warsaw Pact can pay to build units to support Castro and the gang in cuba, possibly at higher cost cuz of the blockades and embargoes and stuff, if the Warsaw pact is smart, like they were during the cold war, they’ll buff the hell out of cuba to prevent a traditional land invasion, and nukes aren’t always realistic. If they’re dumb then cuba will just be invaded and it will be an opportunity lost, which absolutely could have happened if the ussr wasn’t paying attention. I’m thinking about alternative rules where one or two players play each Nuetral category so it feels like they’re entities and not roadblocks, but I’ve got a ton of stuff I need to do before then soooooo… The setup for cuba will not change for balancing reasons, it accurately represents their power near it’s height, which was also the time when it was diplomatically plausible for the US to invade. For your expansion however, I recommend cuba starts the game Strict Nuetral with an army of one infantry.
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
