The big update to CMO is going public at last!. Question for Dimitris - how does this integrate into existing scenarios? Can you use stuff like Time on Target in Northern Inferno?
Yes, you most certainly can.
(Please mention/tag me if you want my attention; I stumbled on this question purely by chance)
Is now actually shipping! This reprint took longer than the actual campaign!
Next week. Nice.
Every time I think I want to re-download this and try and figure it out I start reading guides or whatever and get discouraged again. Doesn’t help that every time I try the tutorials they bug out, hit a snag, or just don’t work. Because I really kinda want to be able to play this I think.
I have no interest in the big scenarios. But there are lots of great small scenarios modders have set in forgotten conflicts that are fun to explore.
Pray tell. I thought we had cleared all issues on the tutorials but of course there’s always a chance we missed something.
Well, you probably have fixed them! I haven’t tried in a couple of years I think. I might try again with this new thingy that’s coming out.
Don’t know that it fits here, but apparently Marrix is releasing this tomorrow:
It isn’t a game so much as, well, what it says, a simulator, it seems. And it is ghoulishly intriguing, actually. I’m tempted just for the modeling of nuclear attacks and damage, as gruesome as that is. But it feels sort of…icky?
Time for a Definitive Edition of the New World Computing release?
Well I missed that one somehow. Was it a direct translation of the card game?
I don’t remember if it incorporated ideas from Nuclear Escalation or not, but it was based on the game.
Yeah, that is pretty wild. Depending on the price I might get it for the novelty of having the most macabre software toy I’ve seen in a while.
Nevsky is now up for online play on the rally the troops website.
Well after 7 years, it has arrived.
Interesting to compare to my 1976 copy - the designer notes in the new edition says 250,000 of these were sold!
Awesome, mine is hopefully on the way. Great comparison shots.
There is a copy of the Compass Jedko reprint at my local game shop and I have been fighting the urge to go buy it. Knowing that they stuck with the 1/2’ counters and seeing your photo with the counters helps kill the urge since I’ve got the GMT/CSW version incoming ;)
This is called the “Deluxe” 5th edition - and they have thrown in all the bells and whistles - bigger counters, setup charts for operations from Barbarossa to Bagration, extra counters for one off scenarios that were printed in a 'zine back in the 90s. There’s even a special map insert for three hexes in Lvov where people argue should or should not be mountains.
The only thing it doesn’t include are mounted maps - you have to pay an extra $40 plus shipping for those!
