Thread: Javier Romero:: Off Topic:: Game Design
Posted: Tue, 15 Sep 05:33:02
It's me again -Schengo. I was wondering if you would be interested in discussing a LITTLE BIT about war game design.
I've been playing only solitaire. I am curious what your opinion would be about certain ASL adventures I've had over the last couple decades. Especially ones I've created like "Striegau 1945" and my 6 month recreation of "Operation Goodwood" that took up my entire bedroom floor space. (I slept on the couch for 6 months)
At the time I made and played my "Striegau 1945", I didn't know that BGG existed, and I owned primarily only Avalon Hill games. I didn't know that similar (though not ASL) games exist like "Lauban 1945" or "Bautzen 1945". and that's only 1 example.
Because of where I live, and because I now know so many more boardgames, I now have the desire to design a game called "Alten Veste 1632". There was a battle not far from my house between Gustav Adolf and Abi Wallenstein? (I think Abi was there) in the 100 years war. Obviously I still have to research.
I'd like to design this game in a similar style to "Lützen" (SPI 1976) and other similar games. My son is a very good artist, because his mother is a successful graphic designer. With luck I can convince him to help me with the art work. That would leave me free to design, because I am definitely not a graphic artist.
What do you think Javier?
Considering your insight and knowledge about out Vietnam/Laos discussion, I'd greatly appreciate any opinion you may want to share.
Unfortunately I do not speak Spanish. Sorry
Kind Regards,
Sean (Schengo)
