Altro mini aggiornamento da parte dell'autore nei commenti del crowdfunding, spero solo non stiano mettendo troppa carne sul fuoco per poi bruciarla tutta.
A quick update to all as the Xmas period has been rather busy for me. I will be doing a designer diary on it later in the week. In headline terms: a) now have 9 solo scenarios that are historical that you can play with a simple AI driven byt he action cards for the opposition. Small ones are things such as Caesar's Conquest of Gaul, and Hannibal descending from the Alps and trying to take Italy. These feel like about a 90 minute game so far. The big on is "build the Roman Empire" and that is quite a few hours of solo play. b) the BattePlay System is ready for revels to you all. It's great fun. It takes the cards from and army and has you deploy them on a 7-file battleground, with more interesting terrain features drawn from the map region (so lots of battlefield variety). The battle is then deployed and played out over about 15 minutes over 5 phases: artillery, missile, skirmish, impact, melee. Lots of interesting tactical decision to make. c) BattlePlay proving such fun i have started doing historical refights on it. Cannae is 4-1 to Carthage so far. I have in mind to put perhaps 12 famous battles from the era into the set and these can all be played solo from both sides as well. d) We have the factions set up for Alexander. Its a 5-faction game if played as a multiplayer, or a solo-play to follow Alexanders historical path. Macedon, Persian, India, Armenia, Egypt. e) I know PSC have been blasting ahead with the more final artwork for cards and the board. I've seen some card samples and really like them a lot. A gid improvement on the functional version we started with. Keep giving me feedback. There are always some fine ideas in there and I have built in 3 ideas from comments already. I am sure there will be more goodies that add to the mix. Simon PS Meanwhile we have just launched our renaissance tabletop rules called Renatio et Gloriam and our WW2 rules called Divisions of Steel are out next month. It's been very busy!! You can check out any of the wargames rules by going to
www.mortem-et-gloriam.co.uk or the other two in the same format. You can then see where lots of the history knowledge comes from ... tomes of the stuff! Enjoy.
