Title: New section on my website: World at War
Post by: Agis on 28 April 2008, 10:56:39 AM
As most of you might know; World at War is the 1st rulebook written by me that actually got published.
After working as a play tester on countless books and games it was about the time! ;-)
The book is a joined venture of Matt Sprange and me. The rule section of the book – page 5-34 - is written by him.
Some of the advanced rules (Night Fighting, Parachute Deployment, Retreat, Vehicles and Shooting with vehicles) are from me.
All the rest (page 41-140) is also from me.

The book also features many pictures of miniatures from my and Tom Weiss collection.
Unfortunaltey during the layout process it was decided to publish the book in B&W.
IMO a real shame!  :wink:  (maybe I am biased here...)
So I added a new section to my website: WaW!
http://www.agisn.de/html/world_at_war.html

Shown there are many of the pictures of the book in the original full colour quality (only scaled down to 72 dpi).

Examples:

Have fun...

I have just finished the Pacific War supplement and mailed it to Mongoose.
Currently I am working on a vehicle companion to be published under the open content agreement, after that...

Congratulations! Lovely work on the figures, as usual. But the Frankfurt School will have you drawn and quartered for those dice on the table! ;)

Congrats Agis. Looks like a great set of rules.

I assume they are usable for 28mm?

The game was designed with 28mm minis in mind, it works even better with 20mm (the ranges look more believable).

Basically you can use the rules for everything that is individually based , since all measurements are taken from the middle of the mini.

If you go for 10 or 15mm I recommend using cm instead of inches.

Thanks, but all the luck is just necessary for Mongoose.

I got a fixed payment no matter how many books are sold... :(

No doubt but all of my Weird WWII troops are all 28mm as is the terrain so I want to be able to reuse those figures.

Just a little injoke for those who know the jolly fellows from Frankfurt. "How dare you place gaming utensils on the table when not actually rolling the dice, or, even worse, when taking photographs!"

Ahh, got it.
The photo HAD to be this way; it is one of the game examples... :wink:
