War on Terror: the boardgame

@iwillnevergrowup said in Can an Axis and Allies -style US Civil War game actually work?:

It absolutely can work, and work well.

Robert Otto created one in May 2022 called Total Civil War 1861-1865 and had it produced in limited quantities as a full boxed set … but at $350 a copy it was expensive (though considering only about 50 … maybe 100 … were printed, it makes sense to me (as a publisher)).

Unfortunately I don’t think he plans on doing it again and the website he had for taking orders is no longer available.

As for why it wasn’t released by MB/Wizards/Et.al. is probably because of a lower demand (even if only perceived) vs other projects. They also pretty much abandoned anything new or novel for the line quite a long time ago and just updated or tweaked and rehashed everything repeatedly. Their last great ‘innovation’ was A&A Zombies. Now that it’s in the hands of Renegade Games, who knows; they’re more open to new games.

Yes it can as will stated. I do have the game

ha sorry.

I know I’m a little late here, but here is the “Official” game video about Star Wars Rebellion

Hey guys,

First of all, glad to be here! if you have any question you want to ask feel free, I will do my best to answer you!

My name is Isidro Tellez and I’m the Producer of FrozenShard games, we just launched our first game in iOS and Android “World War II: TCG”.

It’s a collectible Digital Card Game with a Fictional Storyline based on the events of World War II. It can be played with friends Online and Offline and has a unique gameplay that some experienced trading card players may find interesting!

I don’t want to bother you much longer so as I can’t put links at the moment, just wanted to mention that World War II: TCG is available for Free at the iTunes Appstore!

And as I said before if you have any questions about the game or want to know more, please shoot!

Cheers!

I am still looking for a really good Civil War map file. Does anyone have any leads?

I have this game too. It has little value. Even the pieces are too ugly and huge and are made with the wrong plastic.

Eagle was the old Helen of toy game company circa 1960’s.

All their games belong to the inside advertisements of comic books and deserve no other realm.

I knew they would be out of business before long.

If you want a good Vietnam board game, try out Vietnam 1965-1975.

It is a hex based game, using counters for playing pieces. The game is from the 80’s and you’ll find it on Ebay.

For sure, no game depicts the vietnam war better - with hidden units, ho chi minh infiltration routes.

Beware though, that the Grand Campaign 65-75 takes hundreds and hundreds of hours to play. However, there exist about a dozen smaller scenarios (like the Tet offensive amongst others).

I love the date on this posting.
