Up and Coming Games From The Microgame Co-Op |
In the last month, I have received two games for the Co-op. The first from Brian Train is tentatively entitled FREIKORPS. This slightly-alternate history game works on the premise that the Red Army defeated the Poles at the battle of Warsaw in 1920 and are now proceeding to steamroll into Germany. Using a modified version of the Arriba Espana system, Brian has included lots of fun stuff like armoured trains, shock troops, revolts, etc. Looks like a real player.
The second game I received is AFGHANISTAN by Perry Moore. At 12 hours per turn, this game does not quite cover the entire ten year war but instead portrays small vignettes of battles in a quasi tactical feel. An interesting looking game.
Finally, Kerry Anderson has decided to finish up THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON. Admittedly, it is an unusual topic -- the final battle as described in the Bible -- but what the hell, isn't this the whole purpose of the Co-op? This game is promising to be a real weird two and three player game. If one can accept the premise, the game can be quite fun. Because of the ever changing political situation, the game uses Biblical names for nations -- Magog, Gomer, Kings of the East, etc. -- but we all know who they really are (Russia, Germany, China, etc.). The game has liberal use of nuclear weapons and will have random events cards bases upon the Biblical woes (seven seals, seven trumpets, seven vials). While the game tries to represent things in a respectable fashion, this could be a very politically incorrect game!
These three games are currently being prepared for release. Expect to see them in December 1998
