Country Builds Cards

[John D.]

Yeah - there are alot of little revisions more for flavor than anything else..

[Mark]

OK - so I believe this is the Final country build card for Germany for the Advanced Struggle for Europe game - the other country cards will be similar

Some news for the release of this fantastic game?? the end of the years or before, after. thanks

[Mark]

Planning on being able to distribute a softcopy of the game on a disc by Christmas-time.  Will that work?

[Darkman]

toooo late !!! :-) *throwing in some pressure from the east*

Has is to be a disc or will downloadable file / Iso also work?

[Godleader]

Is fine for me. The map and all of the players aids, reference sheets and rules, generals and picture of the base of every units on the disc?

[John D.]

Mark is working like a mad genius to finish - We are playtesting the Pacific game again this coming weekend - I will begin to document the game!

[Mark]

John - once you get through Super Megafest, let's finalize everything for the Europe game - I think all the pieces are in place.

I think we will distribute everything (counters, battleboards, production cards, map, rules, etc.) soft copy initially - and we'll see how it goes.  Also that way, any suggestions you guys might have can be incorporated and distributed easily.

[John D.]

Sounds like a plan!!!

[Godleader]

Just an idea the map on the disc and the other tings ready for plays, players aid, unit base, rules and combat sheet, ship to the buyer.
But all things on the disc, for future reprint.

[Darkman]

I prefer downloadable files to prevent useless taxes

[Mark]

I have everything in zip files ready to go except for the map and am travelling back to the US the weekend after next.  Will be doing a final playtest in Connecticut the weekend of December 18th - barring any massive calamities, John and I should be able to finalize everything that weekend and be able to get copies out to folks who would like one.

Thanks for all of the support!

Will a hard copy of the map be available?

[Mark]

Hi Norseman - we were not necessarily going to go down that path for this version due to the printing costs - but if there is demand and you would like one - we can figure out how much a small run of maps would cost.  Let me know.

Printing large maps like this is a big expense- either way you go, be it you guys or us doing it.

If you were able to get a certain print run for a lesser amount that makes it viable economically for all, even with shipping, then it would make sense for you to do so that the quality can be controlled.

I still can see having it on the disc for those who are overseas and for replacement purposes.  Downloadable files would be a bit problematical though since you wouldn't be able to control its distribution and it would also be a damn big file to send to get a quality copy.

I would just put together a basic paper copy and just put it into frames or under plexiglass.  A nice map would be a beautiful thing to have, but I can live without it if that means a large monetary investment.
