What Kind Of Games Would You Like To See Made?

[Joe 98]

No,

Gary Grisby has announced a Civil War game based on the "A World at War" engine.

But at this point, has not signed a publisher

Joe98, I've read about Grigsby's Civil War Game and I'm looking foreward to it. However, What I meant was a Civil War game which has combat similiar to the Total War Series. If you've ever played the Napoleonic Total War Mod, you would understand what I mean. I have most of Grigsby's games and he is one of the industries leaders in wargames. I've enjoyed his games for many years and look foreward to his Civil War Game.

I would like a tactical wargame that deals with the second half of the 19th century - colonial wars, Franco-Prussian war, etc.

In other words a modern version of Age of Rifles.

Operational level games of the Wars of Italian and German Unifications - 1859 - 1871.

How about something along the lines of a turn-based version of the Europa Universalis games??

JDC, can we marry your operational game to my tactical game? Sounds like a winner to me. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon44.gif[/img]

I want to see someone actually make Up Front (the card game from AH) into a game I can play online in the same way I can play Magic the Gathering (also a card game).

I want someone to stop explaining to me "oh that's owned by Hasbro", or "they sold the digital rights to so and so".

I don't give a darn who owns the game, I want to play it.
If it means you go buy it, then for crying out loud go buy it.
You honestly think they will refuse to sell it if you offer them good money?

Up front is a darn good game, suffering only one flaw, it went out when AH died (AH by the way died, being a label doesn't make you a company).

I own the board game, whoop dee doo. I want to play it against anyone too. And that means offering me an electronic option.
And no, it doesn't always have to be a Vassal game module.
It's a card game eh, I want to be able to play cards at card game speeds ideally.

Mnemonic games is trying to create their interpretation of this experience. Not sure what their success is to date (haven't checked recently).
If they can get their idea out the door, I probably could settle for their design.

But that's what I want.

The market is already stuffed to the gills with games representing WW2 at every scale and every mode I can think of.
Accept cards.

There was once a board game named Patrol!

There was once a computer game named Close Combat.

Take the major concepts of Patrol! but play it top-down-2D in continous time like Close Combat.

If you are not aware of the basic concept of Patrol! I can explain.

Patrol you say?Boy thats an oldie.I still have that board game as well as the Original Sniper! unpunched and its TSR rereleases.LOL Those were all great games for sure.

As for myself Id love to see a Squad Leader or ASL game done in the vietnam theme.Before AH kicked the bucket I was so looking forward to a Korean or Vietnam era version with the same SL/ASL mechanics but it never happened.

Yes Ive seen this game since its first announcement on the net.I just hope it spawns a huge load of expansions.Does it include chopper operations?I once read that it didnt at the time.I see a crashed helo counter on the link so maybe they are included now?The game sure does have promise.Be nice to see this game simulate large scale battles like Lz X-Ray or the battle of Wei eventually.I must admit I love large amounts of colorful counters with nice graphics of troops,weapons,and vechicles on them.
