Not exactly, we started to work on another "big" project which stopped in 2005 because the publisher cancelled it, and shifted ressources to BOA (which was released early 2006). The VGN project started immediately afterwards, but was constantly delayed as we released other titles (AACW, NCP, WIA, R...

I'm just getting old i guess, it seems like it was only yesterday to me.

Has it really been three years in the making?

The time goes so fast.

I have Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI for PC. Its a great game, very well done, but like many KOEI titles you have to spend hours building up your forces and power base, and then the second half of your playing time is almost constant combat. The use of fire in combat is lots of fun and worth buyi...

I have to say the thread title is ironic.

Don Greenwood once said to me at a wargaming con back in the 80s that computers were killing wargaming (Greenwood was the main designer developer at Avalon Hill at the time).

Now some say we have come full circle.

Just played through the tutorial today, the game takes some getting used too, it's rather unconventional.

The process for comabt and seige operations include things like flanks and reserves and fog of war, so a lot is going on here.

There was an obscure game that would be great on PC, and easy to make. It was called 'source of the nile' where you had a blank map of sub-sahara africa and you played as an expolorer and 'maped' the interior, meeting tribes and finding landmarks along the way. This game would also be fantasic with ...

I was always very fond of Avalon Hill's PanzerBlitz/PanzerLeader/Arab-Israeli War family of platoon and company level games. They weren't as detailed and realistic as Squad Leader , but they were simpler and easier to learn. You could actually play them in the time it took to fight a tactical battl...

Last WW1 game I played was Gun of August, the boardgame. It was a good game, but without enough spice... Philippe Thibaut's La Grande Guerre is a very different beast, with much options to play with. Too many counters and too little movement in Guns of August I thought. I would love to see 'Conquis...

Gulf Strike was a Victory games release.

Victory was made up of former SPI people that went to work for this branch of Avalon Hill rather then TSR, whom they felt killed board wargaming.

Considering that Gal Civ 2 and Sins have been patched, I somehow doubt they will live up to this, sounds like BS from Brad.

Germany.

Who doesn't want to be the kaiser?

Chris Stavros

Mine is obvious, don't attack Belgium, that brings Great britain into the war. Without the British the french cannot defeat Imperial Germany, and teh germans could have possibly made a truce with France late in 1914 (after the French attacks into Alsace and lorraine fail) for a halt to hostilities. ...

No I don't want them.

It was the only PM I ever got here.

1024x768 when I play, but i reset mine for games as I don't see small type well.

My request is to make tool tips and other information a little larger, it's very hard for people with poor eysight (like me) to read the little messages.

I heard about it from PT actually, when I reviwed Great Invasions I asked phillip to let me know when his next design arrived, which was BoA.

Chris Stavros

I have been playing this (for my next review) and I have to say for a board game turned PC game it looks and plays surprising well.

I hope that there will be immigration to the Americas as actually happened in the period.

Why does it need to be locked? BTW, he was not like other Monarchs, he placed the crown on his own head, the other monarchs were hereditary. Doesn't make Napoleon less of a leader or a ruler, in fact his codes were far more fair and progressive then the old crowned heads of Europe. But it is also tr...

Bonaparte was a dictator, he siezed control of the directorate and threatened to imprison the 500 if they failed to follow his will.

You can of course feel differently, but historically, he was of course a dictator.

French Cavalry tactics had to be tailored the fact that France was always short of horse, the allies always had more, usually better trained and mounted too. Napoleon always tried to eliminate the enemy army in a decisive battle to end a yearly campaign, this is not suited to ACW style cavalry raids...

This game is a lot of fun, spent the first year as the union building up an army of the tenn while holding off the rebels near Washington. It was great fun to make divisions and corps from the troops I raised, putting grant in charge of a corp of Three divisions means the end of the confederates in ...

[ATTACH]1594[/ATTACH] First impressions is based off playing the Austerlitz scenario. The first thing i noticed was not all of the french Corps are available at start, and this makes things a little confusing.
