Yeah, that is pretty non-committal and cryptic. I think my data processor filed that as a “no Further Information was provided” and moved on.
EDIT: I looked that the thread @vyshka I even responded and offered to do whatever. If it was going down I’d make the man coffee to get PW reissued.
So this came out today. There is endless speculation about what the announcements might be,
You beat me to it…
Yessss
/gets out wallet!
“P500”
So available in two years.
/Puts wallet back.
:(
Two years! Such optimism. How long has AGC been on there?
Tis the way tis.
Guess I need to get back to playing B-17 FFL after reading this article: https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/17/politics/memphis-belle-bomber-unveiling-air-force-museum/index.html
The big surprise. Two new P500 additions from GMT:
https://www.gmtgames.com/p-710-peloponnesian-war.aspx
https://www.gmtgames.com/p-711-versailles-1919.aspx
One is an expanded version. The other a completely new Political competition MP game. Both from Mark Herman. Neither really flips my pancake.
I’m more interested in the subject-matter of 1919, but I doubt I’d find anyone to play it with. The solitaire system of Peloponnesian War sounds more interesting; it requires you to switch sides periodically? I kinda like that idea.
Agree on subject matter. But a bit too Euro-ey for me from the sounds of things. If it plays like Republic of Rome or,say Kremlin, well…that would perk me up.
Loved that game when AH published it in the 80s. I really should pick up the newer edition.
I had the original Peloponnesian War but it got throw out during the great game purge about 10 years ago when I cleaned out a lot of my old games. Can’t really even remember playing it.
Just wanted everyone to know that the Board Historical Wargame Threat Center (BHWTC) has upped the Wallet Threat Alert Level in a Special Announcement today, It increased from Preachy Woodrow Wilson to Crazy Young Winston Churchill, so that’s significant.
They maybe targeting @Brooski with Skies Above The Reich, so everyone, be careful out there today.
So on this anniversary of the German air assault on Crete… was wondering if there are any PC games that model that invasion? The only game I’m aware of is Conquest of the Aegean, but that game is pretty old. From what I can tell, I don’t think that Panther included any Crete scenarios in their Command Ops 2 product.
Pretty sure the Command Ops 2 DLCs ‘volume 2’ and ‘volume 5’ contain ports of all the Conquest of the Aegean stuff.
Yup, there are a number of Crete scenarios in there. WinSPWW2 has a couple of Crete scenarios, too.
This topic now has me wanting to play this:
Or at least this:
Vassal anyone?
Not this? :)
It’s not released yet, but the next Panzer Battles game from John Tiller Software will be on N. Africa and Crete, so that is the one I’m awaiting. It’s a new and attractive series from JTS at the platoon scale.
