Recommend A&A Type PC Game?

The Shogun is a TripleA map and currently in Beta and is still therefore a WiP.

It is a collaborative map between Ebbe (Graphics) & TheDog (Code)

A historical map set about 1561 Japan, intended for many players to play a Free for All with the balance being played by the Hard AI 11 playable factions, comprising 10 Samurai Clans and the Ikko Ikki with Wako Pirates collectively called the The Rebels, all in their starting historical Provinces/Territories Clan Politics has 3 relationships, War (default), Neutral and Allied Large size map 11264x6140px, amongst one of the largest TripleA maps, with Unit size equivalent to 68x68px (54x54px x1.25 unit size). It is hoped that this is usable on 4K screens. The map has lots of Mountain Passes, lots of uncrossable Mountains and Rocky Shores channelling forces.

@JamesAleman:

Probably the best strategy game that requires you to “know” your opponents, if you can still find it is Samurai Swords/Shogun.

One of the BEST games ever…  if you can still find it.

I just got rid of my copy not too long ago along with my old copy of the MB game Conquest of the Empire.

There are reasons you pay same price -

Convenience
Redundancy
Operability (compatibility and patches/fixes/etc. always good)
Associated costs with hosting your game

Just to name a few.

@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:

Yeah, I’d say COH is a decent game. I’ve played it a few times. Haven’t gotten through it. Waiting to play COHII. Now THAT looks sweet!

Hey Djensen, checked back in and noticed this… I use BGG to decide what games I should purchase on my limited gaming budget. The thing that makes the site is the people who contribute loads of feedback on games and what you will enjoy based on your preferences, but like Yanny said, it is one clunky place to navigate. I particularly don’t like the geeklist navigation where it always jumps you back to page top…

That’s my 2 cents…
