The last few Decision productions have looked very, very nice.

[@thegrogshed]

This looks like an amazing upgrade from the previous Axis Empires pair of games. I’ll keep the predecessors though, as I haven’t played them yet.

[@falconplays3001]

Pacific specific 😆 Made my day😂 Greetz from Potsdam Germany

[@joeyj6808]

Impressive. And very pretty! I don't think I'd ever play it, but it sure is impressive. Our local club had somebody playing it, so thanks for showing it!

[@christophersmith3301]

Looks great. And always good to see Stiglr's favorite cutlery getting lots of use 😀

[@wartable]

Looks like a good game to play on Vassal

[@ByzCathGAA]

This is a beautiful game, would rate the cover alone as being one of the best covers. Still waiting for my group to get together and play. While not related I’m curious on your thoughts for Compass Games’ upcoming title “Lightning Strikes” as its design is said to be related to the “World in Flames” system.

Loved the unboxing video. I was intrigued enough to think about purchasing it; but it is listed at $328 (plus shipping) at decision games' website...so probably not... but still -- if it was $150 less than possibly... I know - you get a lot of game but $350+ counting shipping come on man...

[@RommelsAsparagus]

I'd love to see a review...

[@clarkcommando1983]

Such a great game been playing every iteration since krieg in 1993,I believe when released

[@chinapoliticsfromtheprovin6133]

A very useful unboxing and not only because it shows just how much material and value there is in this expensive package. Suddenly a decision not to purchase may now have to be reconsidered...

[@clarkcommando1983]

I love the rules etc are matte Finish bbetter quality paper than glossy

[@e-4airman124]

i took the dive into this

[@RJLNetWork]

I also did an unboxing of this last night. Can’t wait to play!

[@clarkcommando1983]

Just wrapped up my forst playing and wow did not disappoint

[@budkeegan6927]

great post- thanks

[@jeremyboughtono2]

I played the originals solo and I dont remember it being an issue.

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

Couple of questions: 1. If my budget is restricted, are the previous versions still playable? I know it wouldn’t have a lot of the new stuff, but it seems like I can pick them up pretty cheap. 2. Are there any grand strategic games that fall between this and Axis and Allies as far as complexity? There are so many, but not many have caught on it seems.

[@ardwulfslair]

The older games, especially AE Totaler Krieg, remain playable and worthwhile, but you do get DoD, Schiffskrieg and some other options with this new edition.

[@MeanderingMikesManCave]

I so want to get this version! But my budget just isn't going allow this.

[@patrickmullen9485]

Still Alan’s Folly with rules organized like a corporate tax code. But pretty paper.

[@tookiem7618]

Is this game actually available? On their website it says that it's only available for pre-order.

[@ardwulfslair]

It's available. But a preorder discount is still on.

[@tookiem7618]

@@ardwulfslair Thank you! I just ordered it. I always wanted both stand alone games and just discovered this. I had no idea this was in the works. It looks incredible and I will be looking forward to a playthrough.
