C&C Generals and Blitzkrieg

I apologize if this is spammy. I know a lot of you A&A players like my game Quartermaster General enough so I felt like it was newsworthy beyond just self-promotion. I can’t post links so you can find out more on our site, grigglinggames.com or on BGG.

There is also a licensed French Version being crowdfunded; I am licensing the game to Asyncron.

thank you

@Cmdr:

If you are talking unofficial, commonly accepted variants, I would say AARe (Enhanced Revised) otherwise, at this point, Anniversary.

Yeah, I agree with Jenn !

+1 karma

@Emperor_Taiki:

I was looking at the new early war sets at the flames of war stand at GenCon today. The german infantry company with assualt guns looks awesome, but its $200 bucks!

If you like the Germans you should play them!  :-) But dont feel as though you need to buy the box sets, they sell them in blister packs with one platoon, or vechial as the case my be. Yeah, it might be more cost effective to buy the box, but its a big hit to the wallet!  :evil:  I started my soviets off by buying a box set of 3 full platoons and going from there. When I started playing they only had their first edition rules and they had started in mid war (42-43). I built this mass horde infantry force backed up by huge artillery companies. However it was an unweidly force, very cumbersome to move around and it tended to get shot to sh*t alot! Now, Im going to build a more mobile force of tanks and motorized infantry, and i’ll by fielding them as Guards forces (which are the Soviet elite). Single platoons backed up by hordes of T-34’s, thats the plan anyway.

@Emperor_Taiki:

I would like too see a picture of 25 t-34s

And as soon as I get back to CT i’ll start working on that  :-D So far I have 6 IS-2 Guards Heavy Tanks, I could try and post a pic of them if you like

Yeah, that’s the game.  It was something between the simplest RPG-like game you can play and actual D&D.  The gamemaster could make their own scenarios, if they wanted.

@Motdc:

Might be a stretch for what you were looking but there is a game called Twilight Imperium that is suprising A&A-like:

The theme is space, picture Star Wars, the galactic senate and all.

It uses the A&A battle mechanic, except with a d10 instead of a d6.

Intsead of ferrying troops around on ocean-going transports, you ferry them around on space-going transports.  In fact, the game uses a lot of the A&A naval mechanics, from fighters on carriers, transporting troops, bombardment, etc.

You have planetary defense systems that act like AA Guns and can upgraded to act like A&A-style rockets.

You have a couple of tech tracks you can advance on by spending on R&D like in most A&A games.

The game add a deplomacy phase and action cards.

I have the original 1st and 2nd editions of the game.  They reworked it in the 3rd edition, but I haven’t tried that one yet.

Its from Fantasy Flight Games, IIRC.

3rd Edition is a great game for six players.  The random maps placed by the players in setup is also a big plus.    :wink:

GG- would you be interested in a game sometime?

Oh nevermind I will just quit being so cheep and buy the damn thing.

Yeah, the thing about “commanders” in PzIII confuses me a bit. :( But yeah, that German campaign is a tough one, epsecially if you have your IPC take on 50 per town.
