Unity of command

While I was browsing the Wargamer forum ( sorry trolling on the Wargamer forum with my third post about PON in 4 months ;-) ), I’ve been intrigued by this new game:

Of course, I don’t have any clue about real value of this project ( searching Betas by the way in case you’re interested). But , beyond the gfx, and some interrogations about scenarios, which seem to link up in a Campaign à la Panzer General, I’m hoping we will have maybe a serious attempt to design a realistic game without unnecessary loads of details.

 

Oh, why I’m yet using AGE 2.0 engine? Simply because AGE 2.0 is yet manageable. As I’ve said before, the level of details is certainly in RUS very close of the maximum level the system can sustain. AACW is much less complex and close to the high limit of the balance between complexity and playability.

 

I would perfectly be happy with a pure conversion of Victory Game Civil WAr boardgame, or triumph of Chaos for RCW.  Iw ill be perfectly happy with simpler games.

 

 

 

Back to serious things…FY current state.

I’ve read some nice ideas about changes in the setup, mainly in Transcaucasia.

But such changes may have deep consequences about balance and I’ve yet many things to do for SVF. I wasn’t expecting so much excellent feedback for FY so quickly and my timeline has been largely modified by the need to address first FY.

Of course, balance in FY remains under scrutiny, but I don’t feel it would be worth to add new features now, to the risk to delay yet more SVF.
