AGEOD Forums

How do you think this game will compare to something like this game:

Which, as far as I know, is this games only competition. Will the combat use the same system as NCP, WIA, and Civil War game?

Hi

Its the same subject but on a different scale.
Something like TOAW and COmbat Mission
ROP uses the AACW/NCP/WIA system so its an operational/strategical game. Combat will be resolved the same way (maybe with some improvements on the battle report) but with no tactical battles.
H&M si a pure tactical battle game so, they are kind of complementary.

No competition at all. I beta tested and own H&M and it is a really nice game but it is strictly a tactical game. RoP is very similar to the previous AGEOD games with some nice enhancements and will cover the entire SYW at a strategic/operational level. Get them both!

lol looking at that reminded me of my first ever pc game... alexander the great (no not the rubbish movie game) was hex based was quite good fun as i recall, didnt know people still made hex based games, wow.
hmm want to find that game again now... off to ebay or amazon..

finally found it!

Yeah I owned all of the Great Battles of... games a long time ago. They were really nice games. I bought GB of Alexander off of Ebay several years ago but had trouble getting it to run in XP. I hope that GOG picks up the series and re-releases them. Slitherine is releasing Fields of Glory in a coupdle of months. Hopefully it is similar to the GB games.

I am still hoping that AGEOD gets around to releasing a Second Punic War titles at some point. hint hint Phil I am happy though that ROP is about to be released because this is one of my favorite periods of wargamming.

Ditto, and so under-used because it doesnt intrest the americans enough.

You're not kidding brother. I tried in vain to find books on the warfighting in the age of enlightenment and books on the 7 years war in Europe here in various bookstores stateside. No luck. I had to order from Amazon.

If you go to the "German History" section and knew nothing about that area of europe, you would now know the following:

(1) Austria had some type of involement in the Naploeonic wars
(2) Then the Nazi's came...

Pathetic really as these wars had a great effect on Thomas Paine and other who advocated for Independence for the US.
