Wallenstein Review (2nd Edition) - Chairman of the Board

[@The1Def]

Borderline wargame is music to my ears. Will have to see where I can play a session before I decide to buy, because it looks very intriguing. Thanks for covering this one, Dan.

Dirk Henn is a fantastic designer, and Wallenstein/Shogun is certainly some of his best work.

[@bushibayushi]

I prefer the theme of Shogun (mechanically they are 100% the same), but some people prefer the map of Wallenstein. Personally I love Shogun on the moon side of the board (you can't turtle).

This map is great! Recently grabbed the Shogun big box and Tenno’s Court expansion is a solid plus for Shogun as well!

Hey Dan! I've been thinking about this one, since I have found someone selling a second hand one bat a reasonable price. I just got Lancaster, and it feels like a natural comparison of a game. With Lancaster, I'm finding it plays best at 4 or 5. What are your thoughts on player count with Wallenstein? And, do you think that they are different enough to have both? Thanks for any thoughts.

[@ChairmanoftheBoard]

Hi Jeffrey. They are certainly different enough to warrant owning both. I am pretty sure you'll have a good time with this one if you regularly have 4-5 players who aren't afraid of a bit of confrontation, which sounds like is well suited for you and your group if you enjoy Lancaster.

So shogun just a different theme/map? No rule changes? If you own shogun no sense getting Wallenstein? What is the difference between regular box and big box?

[@ChairmanoftheBoard]

As far as I'm aware it's exactly the same game. Just a different map. Definitely no sense owning both. There's a bunch of modules you can add but I haven't tried any yet.
