    #nobleknight first wargame was Naval War from AH (bought it in mid 80s), a simple WWII cardgame, wish some could Reprint it, maybe with some better art? Best played with Homemade sound-effects…. Then some tears after came the even funnier Enemy in Sight. Both intro level cardgames for all! Couldn’t find your survey link.

    I'm playing hex and counter PC games by Wargame Design Studio, mostly horse and musket games. I spend about 2-3 hours a day playing 3-4 games PBEM (play by e-mail) with my opponent friend in Scotland. We have been going at it for about 4 years now, rarely missing a day. I have hundreds of board war games that I have collected and played since 1958 along with hundreds of painted miniatures, but for me WDS hex & counter PC games is the way to go if you like fighting battles rather than fighting rules books and charts. That is the job for the computer. Had computers came around about 20 years sooner, there probably wouldn't have been many board war games. I still like to see the board war games if only for the art, playing pieces and physicality. The main work of WDS now it to update the almost 100 games they have available. I would suggest you go with something fully updated like Campaign Gettysburg or Waterloo Campaign.

    I have started to dig into the Leader series, having played a few Hornet Leader campaigns and just got Tiger Leader, highly influenced by your playthrough of Sherman Leader. I do like the base system and the narrative the games create, however I am a little afraid that they are destroying the games with all expansions. It's a bit like the DLC plauge of modern computer games.

    This is not specific for this game, but for what they're asking for it I feel like this game should come with its own storage solution. I mean, letting you do all the stickers yourself is already kinda a cheap option, which would be fine if it was also reflected in the price. Also, 'with flying colours', ha!

    • @ZillaBlitz

    • @ZillaBlitz
      @ZillaBlitz День назад

      I think the variety in the enemy cards means that you're going to be forced each time to adapt to the unfolding situation a bit uniquely, and if you use the ULTRA method where your opponents are dropping in the German reinforcements, then every game will play very differently. Add in that you've got multiple leaders to play and an entire solitaire game that's different and there is a lot of replayability. Having said that, I think the core strategy for each of the leaders might eventually funnel down to 1 or 2 approaches.

    These events occurred just as I was finishing the final year in high school; ready to graduate in June of 1968. So they have many memories for me. This game looks really good and interesting but the title should be more like: Chaos 1968 There were huge race and war riots everywhere then; especially in Washington DC. The President called in US Army troops to help quell it. They housed the troops in local department stores. Leaders of the protests in DC tried to go out in the suburbs and stir up local black residents; who turned them down completely. In the early 1970s, when the lady in your life decided you were not up to her standard that became a difficult time for a man. The Vietnam War was still going on and so was the draft of soldiers Perhaps the DEV could do DLCs like: Swamp 68 Beverly 68 That was a great time to go some where else. Regards

      Yes, I think I remember hearing/reading the developer reference that game somewhere in either a tutorial or the manual. (By the way, Divine Right is getting reprinted, in case you missed it.)

      Yes, another viewer mentioned the same thing. It kind of reminds me of the old Warlords game, too. Except this is much richer/deeper.

    Downloaded the demo on Steam, but my anti-virus flagged some of the files as ransomware and wouldn't let the game play. My anti-virus might be over protective, but I'll have to give this one a pass...too bad.

      I think you can feel pretty comfortable in knowing that stuff on Steam is safe, but of course, definitely don't do things that make you uncomfortable. :)

    Other nations "in the way." Nope, not a conqueror at all! I like the actual dungeon crawl part, will have to keep an eye on this one! Oh! This is into RELEASE, NOT early access now? Color me surprised! Will see how the reviews go, and if bad stuff gets fixed quickish...

      I like how one system influences the others, like getting shards from dungeon exploration helps with building up your infrastructure, etc.

    I like the option to speed through certain steps. Your first dungeon is cool step by step, but later when you have tons going on, it's cool to just zip past the super detailed bits.

    Wow... This game is a mix of "Might&Magic" and "Steel Panthers" plus Total War Warhammer under steroids... Wow... It seems also a digitalized version (under steroids alike) of "Mage Knight" and "Advanced Squad Leader" set up into a fantasy background!!! Amazing!!!

      Yes, there is quite a bit going on, and I like the blend/integration of RPG/Heros, military advances, and economic development. Each of the independent elements is connected to the other in some way, which makes for some interesting decisions. :)

I got the way to do the name based on an excellent old board game called Barbarian, Kingdom, and Empire.
