WAR ROOM II - The Sequel

@drz

Thanks for the feedback. Most of the rules for the game were crowd sourced from those actually playing an axis and allies style game. The game was never intended to be a historically accurate representation of the American civil war…as are the axis and allies WW2 games. They are themed games. You are welcome to try it out on Steam tabletop simulator if you have it before casting any kind of judgement. It really is a fun game that challenge players. If you want more historically accurate games, you’ll have to look elsewhere.

Iv’e always felt that in the game axis has to win by a certain turn to win. Once you go be on a certain turn then your going into late 45 46 47 etc.
Victory city’s and or points seems to get a quicker out come in our games. If axis don’t have 30 points by end of any turn up to 10 rounds they lose. Now of course this may change based on better players. We usually can see if the axis will get 30 points on turn 10 or not or maybe 11.

Your probably looking at a bit different scenario.
Losing side

But then all players have to agree but the winning side will say we won but losing side got the end win.

Something to that affect ? But then game may drag on.

@Midnight_Reaper well, i use the 3 pieces of the first image, they serve me well, for that they are.
Now, the system and the mechanics of the game are made for a fast gameplay, and map and combat are more a -ww2 in europe- theme or abstraction, instant of a true 100% historical simulation.
Yes, random dice can by a problem some times, but rock-paper-scissors system can minimice the dice factor. And there are some post-production official optional rules and ideas, i find in the forums, to engance gameplay.
Wen i playtest all options, i can put here, if you want to know, my full opinion on the game.

@SS-GEN yes they are my victory city markers, a nail, in a 1/2 wood plug (available at any hardware store) with a flag printed in colour. I use the same 1/2 plugs as flight stands, by adding a dress making pin, 1 inch for fighters, 1.25 inches for bombers, 1.5 inches for tactical fighters. If you cut the heads of the pins after hammering them into the plugs, you can heat them with a candle to lance the planes… works great.

It seems clear which style is more effective.  :-D

(Just kidding, but who doesn’t enjoy the occasional dig at the French?)

Roger that - I’ll hop on over there now.  Thanks!

I think I might make a few for my table.  They seem pretty easy to make, and I will detail the process for any interested.

I thought about having a “war shovel” or even a flat/ramp side to the rakes to help scoop/carry units from combat zones to the combat resolution area of the board.  It wouldn’t always be useful for the crowded europe territorites but if designed well could be handy.
