I&#8217;m not familiar with the game, <a href=\"http:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/game\/5410\">but it has a lot of parts.<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>* \u00e2\u20ac\u0153WW1\u00e2\u20ac\u009d will offer single and multi player gaming (up to 4 simultaneous players) through LAN or TCP\/IP through 1 grand campaign, 4 campaigns and several battle based scenarios.<br \/>\n    * Players will be able to play wild cards disturbing opponents strategies in order to influence the course of the war.<br \/>\n    * Each player will pick different war strategies at the beginning of the conflict allowing strategic surprise and great replay value.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>More than two players for AGEod game is new, but a welcome change. Hopefully someone who has played the board game can chime in with info about how the strategy choice works in the board game version.<\/p>\n<p>If you speak French, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyberstratege.com\/magazine\/2008\/08\/interview-world-war-one-le-11-novembre\/\">a brief interview with screenshots<\/a> can be found at Cyberstratege. One shot shows the off map regions of Africa and the Pacific, as well as a large Eurasian map, so most of the war will be there. I love that so much of the Ottoman Empire is on screen.<\/p>\n<p><em>World War One<\/em> looks a lot like AGEod&#8217;s other games. A unit box at the bottom, a stylized map with province movement. There isn&#8217;t a lot of information about the engine or how the board rules will be translated to the computer version.<\/p>\n<p>November 11 is the release date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most interesting strategy news out of Leipzig is that AGEod is doing a World War I strategy game.
