| EUROPE 1615 PLAY-TEST - mmedeiros (Oct 18, 2014, 9:45 pm) |
Anyone interested in a game of Europe 1615? Just need 3 more play-testers to get it started.
Just a short summary of game play:
1- Playable powers receive influence points each year to deploy to minor states on the board in an attempt to mobilize the units. Majority influence has precedence. This mechanic is similar to A&E and Payola. However, unlike those variants, in 1615 you cannot bride other players' pieces to move, and the influence points accumulate in the minor states.
2- When a majority of influence cannot be established in a minor state, an impassable neutral province is formed. Makes for interesting tactical play, and the enforcing of DMZs.
3- Sanctions can be imposed by players to restrict who has influence over a minor state. This mechanic works similar to card-driven games. Players receive a list of sanctions to work with, and can either support or challenge the sanctions.
4- Victory is determined by score, and scoring is dependent on captures of centers and the majority of influence in a minor state. However, majority of influence in a minor state has greater value than a captured center.
5- Minor states can expand, thus increasing their value.
Of those who have played to date, some have described the game as "complex", "emphasizing heavily on tactics", and "thematic".
So, please take a look at the rules, but do not get overwhelmed with them. There is a lot of details to keep track of, yet I always help players along the way once the game commences.[Reply] |
| Oceania all Confirmed, recruitment ended - hapolley (Sep 08, 2014, 12:14 pm) |
| The last player has sent in Prelims so the game is underway! [Reply] |
| Oceania short one confirmation! - hapolley (Sep 08, 2014, 10:16 am) |
We need a USoA player to replace the unconfirmed player.
This is a fun game with the 'attack where the enemy isn't strategy' possible thanks to the army Island hopping rules.
It is a gunboat game which will attempt to use a game digest for press.[Reply] |
| R006: Oceania Map Change! - hapolley (Sep 08, 2014, 9:55 am) |
The Oceania Map has been changed to make it more difficult for Japan to run away with the game. [Dav] has been made a Hoppable Island making it less of a sure conquest for Japan.
There is still one position available![Reply] |
| R006: Oceania Map Change! - hapolley (Aug 31, 2014, 12:02 pm) |
The Gmes most important feature is that armies can move _directly_ from one island chain to another ("island hopping" as long as both chains (independent of being multispaced or singlespaced) border the same sea
province. This feature is restricted to armies.
I have cleaned up the map so place names are more readable. One change to the map has been made so Japan will not win the game so easily. Davao Island has been changed to a Chained area so it is no longer so easy for Japan to gain control of this region unchallenged.[Reply] |

| Come join a game of raiders and pillagers, Europe in the midst of the Dark Ages! Viking is one of the few variants in which players start intertwined with one another, so diplomacy will be even more intense at the beginning than in usual Dip. [Reply] |

| One more needed! - Slangers (Nov 29, 2013, 6:59 am) |
We need one more player for a game of Modern RE005. We were fleetingly at 10 players but suffered a drop out. The remaining 9 are submitting preference lists and a raring to go!
Things to note:
One of the players is my brother. This makes absolutely no difference to the game as in GM mode I am totally unimpeachable, which cannot be said for me in player mode.
Your trusty GM

Dc464 -- Troubles in the Winter Palace have forced out the Tsar and mobs from Petersburg and Moscow to Baikalsk and Okhotsk call out for a new leader. If interested in the position, write to Zoterik.
It is currently Fall 1903.[Reply] |
