Re: About war in Ukraine

What baffles me most about this situation is how nonchalant people are about it. This is especially true among the younger crowd. Many of the older people I have spoken with are against escalating the war because they are aware of the consequences that would follow. The longer this war drags on, and...

Re: About war in Ukraine

Here we have a very interesting discussion about the Russo-Ukrainian War, featuring American Professor John Mearsheimer and German Professor Max Otte. See below for the link to the full video. Let me know what you think. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W-b5zdDx10Y&pp=ygUQSm9obiBtZWFyc2hlaW1lcg%3D%3D

Re: What constitutes a war game?

Guns, tanks, troop movements, area control, opponent attrition. Everything else are just fighting games. AGOT (2e) has infantry, cavalry, siege engines, ships, ports, troop movement, mustering of units, area control, etc. It has most of the things you mentioned in your post, yet is not characterize...

Re: What constitutes a war game?

Wargame = hexagons :geek: No, it is a joke, it is not so simple. But 30 years ago, it was near to be reality. So USE, SE4X and "perhaps" Memoir'44 are "true" ones. Hello Lunalol! Yes, I have read the rules for SE4X and it looks like an amazing game. I will have to try it out som...

Re: What constitutes a war game?

I checked BoardGameGeek, and Star Wars: Rebellion is listed as a wargame. It's even listed under "Top Games" in the Wargames category. A Game of Thrones is also categorized as a wargame. I didn't check the others. Hello Strode, https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/187645/star-wars-rebellio...

What constitutes a war game?

There are many war-like games out there including A Game of Thrones, Diplomacy, Star Wars: Rebellion, Shogun, etc that are technically not war games. The boardgamegeek website does not even include them in the war games list. Why is that? What does a game need for it to be considered a war game? Ano...

Re: Shogun is now alpha!

Just to build off of my previous post, other war-like games like A Game of Thrones and Star Wars: Rebellion are not actually considered to be war games. Why is that? The game Root, which was actually inspired by games like AGOT and Diplomacy, IS a war game but the aforementioned other two are not. I...

Re: Shogun is now alpha!

First of all thank you for coding the game, both the game and its implementation are amazing!! After a few games, I have a question about the rules. Since it is basically a wargame, I wonder how alliances work. Are they allowed? If yes, are they supposed to be discussed openly at the table? Technic...
