Hi everyone,
Version 2 of Band of Brothers: Screaming Eagles is live. It is a complete rewrite on BGA's new framework: the rules engine, the interface and the animations were rebuilt from scratch.
What's in it:
- 9 scenarios: Capture the Bridge (training), Day of Days, So Few Led by So Many, Easy Peasy, The Battle of Bloody Gulch, If This Is Combat…, Eindhoven, Corporal to Sergeant and To Die on Christmas, plus a "Gun & Vehicles test" scenario to try every gun and vehicle;
- guns, vehicles, mortars, off-board artillery and foxholes;
- opportunity fire, rout, melee and secret force exchanges;
- line of fire shown in Relax mode, scenario briefings, counter tooltips;
- a solo mode (one player controls both sides), handy for testing.
Since everything was rewritten, we are starting the test phase over: please treat this version as an alpha. Expect bugs, and games interrupted by updates. Games started with the previous version cannot be continued.
To get started, Capture the Bridge is the shortest scenario. Some special rules of scenarios 5 to 7 are not enforced yet: they only appear in the briefing.
If you find a problem, please report it with the table number and what happened (BGA bug report or a message here). Thanks for your help!
