I'm not too much into WWWII but this looks really inspiring I must say. Really beautiful pics, lots of graphics - that's something to look at! Well done!
-
Fantastic work Agis you are a powerhouse of a publisher, now I denad you do one on the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan :-* as the pseudo sci fi lists and such do nothing for me in Modern Combat :D
-
Thanks guys! 8)
@Modern Combat - Maybe someday, right now I have to take a very careful look at the sales numbers. :?
At the moment they are not really justifying the effort. If Gear Krieg fails...
-
Fingers crossed Agis, could it just be cause of the game system not getting favour as the product looks the dogs danglies?
-
as the product looks the dogs danglies?
American translation please? :-)
Da other Grimm
-
...looks the dogs danglies?
??? ??? ???
...me too! I do not understand this!
Looking good? Or bad?
-
it's the same as "the dog's bollocks". Which means it's very good.
as opposed to simply "bollocks" which is bad. ;)
-
Oops ;D sorry yes it means great :D
-
Now even me got it!
;)
Well, Battlefield Evolution certainly is a game system that is polarising gamers, some love it some seem to seriously dislike it!
IMO it is a very friendly and clean game system, that can be easily modified and is very flexible. The gear Krieg book proves this IMO perfectly.
I needed some new traits to cover the unique abilities of combat walker. Soon the Multiple Movement System and Walker trait were created and testing could begin. The more we played the more everything fell into place.
The Battlefield Evolution system again proved flexible enough to represent even these units. A Ready Action to change Movement System, increased size to get better Movement in difficult terrain, no Multifire to represent the effect of the very small walker crews, walker assault for close quarter fighting etc. etc.
All in all, I am very happy how these units look and feel on the table while using the Battlefield Evolution system.
-
BTW: I just checked the sales numbers, it looks not too bad for the 1st couple of hours!

Now even me got it!

Battlefield Evolution: World at War was written with 28 or 20 mm miniatures in mind. The official Dream Pod 9 Gear Krieg minis are 1/100 or 15mm miniatures. This proves no problem at all since the Battlefield Evolution: World at War system is flexible enough to handle this scale.
In depth rules to used multibased infantry stand as used in FoW are included. So if you have a FoW army you can use them easily with WaW: GK!

Very good job, really very inspiring!
-
:-* As soon as I get some walkers for my WWII to, I'm certainly getting this. Fantastic.
