Not spam. I'm a member. I'm also a game designer.

Forum members are invited to consider visiting the game site for my game:
WW2 The Big One and hopefully join us.

It is April 1940 and we have roles available.

This is not a video game. No software to download.

Looks kinda fun Ray.

Will have to give your Novel a look over too.

raymond6751 · 12-14-10, 07:46 PM

Oh yeah. The Novel. That's available too, as a free download pdf. It is a paperback, but since I own it, I thought I'd prefer to have readers than a stack of paperbacks here. Shipping costs are high.

Anyway, the book and the rules, and the game, all free to the curious.

Interesting, sounds very similar to the Panzer General series of turn based strategy games. What kind of pace would we expect events to happen? Would large battles (in real time) take a couple of weeks to get to come to a conclusion or would it be longer like several months?

Raymond I think you're really passionate about this game of yours and it may be brilliant but you always give out too little detail and explanation and hence nobody really understands what it is.
