Fully agree with all his points. Well said. if you manage to do what is written here you'd have a game that does actually represent WW1. Though for me it has one major issue I still really enjoy the game. After 60+ hours playing the game I thought I would post some constructive suggestions here. Fir...
Some aspects I do like. Love the detailed reports and chrome you can read through at the end of each turn. I also like the combat and all the modifiers. However as a game supposedly being about WW1 I have to say WW1Gold comes out well ontop. WW1Gold mechanics which changed from movement warfare to s...
WOW by March '15 your in German territory all the way upto Frankfurt.. Sets of alarm bells to me. One reason for the War going static was lack of Arty and Arty ammo, immense fatigue on both sides plus the weather. Really to be remotely like the period if the Central Powers don't manage to take Paris...
Mainly line straightening or trench raiding though usually by a General wanting to make an impression. Once the tench system came along really it was mainly large offensives during campaign season of any note at Grand Strat scale.
I have a fairly decent WW1 library of over 200 books (I had more I inherited bu had to send them to a charity as I had no room). The ones I still have range from good to absolutely superb. So if you fancy my absolutely superb list then tell me and I will send it to you :) . One issue is I have littl...
Not talking about the method of Warfare but sickness. Troops at Gallipolli suffered terribly with dysentery etc and then we had lots of illness in the trenches during winter with frost bite, colds and general flu. Then we have things like trench foot (esp in muddy\waterlogged areas) and finally towa...
This is the reason why I love he game and no other WW1 game has comes close. It actually plays along the right lines as the War developed without railroading the player into static warfare through the use of heavy modifiers restricting you so in other games in effect you have exactly the same mechan...
I presume you never managed to do it? I'd love monthly turns myself. You can edit out the spelling errors easily enough making changes like giving the Grand Fleet its correct title since by the time the game starts it was no longer designated "Home Fleet". Hopefully they will correct the spelling mi...
What I'd like to do is give the battle logs abit of immersive creative writing in it to make it read less dry. Though Id need to be able to have a number of descriptions describing an attack or defense to stop it repeating to much and give it some variety. MrC if it's not possible can you make it po...
God I love maps..Like grog Porn... Well, region naming has been done, but of course some names will need reviewing. Two files enclosed below: * The map as is (a reduced version, the actual one is 3 times bigger) * An excel file with the current region names Post replies with attachment here for chan...
I think it was Wargamer website did an article or something when you where developing was it Birth of America (It was was your first game) I remember though not being fussed about the setting loved the map and artwork..a real feats for the eyes compared to many wargames so bought it direct from your...
Would have liked to change my original vote from Crusades to Middle Ages excl Crusades and now Rome is being done change that to Napoleonic..as MoE failed to live upto my expectations.
WW1 is also a War with alot of Myth touted as facts and it's history is muddied with the anti war literature during the thirties by ex servicemen disillusioned during the great depression and then again in the sixties. You mention WW1 to anyone and the general consensus would be idiotic blood thirst...
I'm not keen on grand Strat games as tactical is more my thing. However after a very poor start we now have WW1Gold which not only the best WW1 PC wargame out there but for me also the best Grand Strat game period. However you do have to read the manual. I also had problems with the tutorial but man...
Actually if I'd known about the stand alone side of things I'd have never bought AJE as it isn't really the period I was interested in. I bought it because I thought I'd need it for future expansions that would cover the battles\campaigns I want to play..I'm alittle miffed to be honest it feels unde...
Funny the lack of PC wargames in our lists on the whole..I'm hoping Command Ops Chir River hits my top 5 list..Achtung Panzer OS if it wasn't for nostalgia would have taken my No 5 spot from CC2. Lots of fantasy and Sci fi I see..so that begs the question where are the serious fantasy wargames....or...
AS Matrix and Ageod are one and the same i.e Slitherine group I'd have thought so. Agoed forums are the ageod side of SLitherine\Matrix Matrix side and so on
