Has anyone played the new Conquest of the Empire by Eagle Games

Hey Guys,

I saw on Smorey Swamp that Commanders and Tactics WW2 Deck Building Game was played at Gencon. I have been trying to find the game on BGG with no luck. If anyone knows this game and can provide a link that would be awesome.

Thanks heaps

@Wittmann The family plays the base Catan game with the expansion. It’s a game my wife will play.

Battle of the Bulge
The Russian Campaign
Panzer Leader

I also own these, play Russian Campaign first. Thats the best of the group by far. Its easy to learn and balanced

We just got a couple of these in at the game store that I work for.  Has anyone here played it?

Apparently it was designed by a sub commander, Andrew Benford.  I think that some of the components look interesting, like the acrylic sonar overlays.  If anyone’s interested, I can try to give it a play and post a review of it here.

Hard to say, really. HoI3 has a lot more to it, and splits units even further, so that when you build your divisions you decide what types of brigades make them up. Also in HoI3, the war system is changed a bit, so that you have to have your neutrality at a certain point depending upon the other nation’s threat level before being able to declare war on them, whereas in HoI2, you could just go for it, but risk that a major power stops your expansionism if you hit someone whose independence they have guaranteed. If you plan on ever playing a minor power, then don’t bother trying to do it in HoI3, it’ll take you 12 months solid to be able to hit anyone else, regardless of which nation you pick. If you plan on only doing the bigger countries that were involved in WW3, then it won’t make a difference.

HoI3 also has more glitches to it, but you can expect them to be fixed by patching.

Really, it depends on if HoI3 is too much micromanagement for you to handle, or if you want to ever play a minor power such as bulgaria or brazil.

The board game version is now available on ebay! current bid is only $2.

So if you are interested in playing some Eurogames, there is a very good German site for doing so:

Have a try, I think, you’ll like it.

@Anonymous:

ANYWAY, I bet this guy doesn’t even have an honest copy of the A&A boardgame. He probably downloaded the rules someplace and made a board out of linoleum and plastic pieces out of used gum and pipe-cleaners.

Too much work, I’d say.
