parla Joel Billings sui progetti futuri

qwetry · 23 Aprile 2016

casualmente ho trovato questa interessante conversazione su reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comme...ry_grigsby_and_joel_billings_ask_me/?sort=top

risale a poco più di un anno fa, quindi ciò che dice sui progetti futuri non è necessariamente ancora valido

Gary says he's always wanted to do a Blitzkrieg early war game that covers 39-40 and that's in our near term plans so he'll get to do it.

We have a lot of products on the drawing boards, all involving the larger map of Europe we created for War in the West. Some will involve additional time periods in Western Europe and North Africa, and eventually we'll go back to the Eastern Front with this system and then hopefully tie the East and West together.

It's not clear yet what if any production levers will be given to the players in a combined WitE/WitW War in Europe game. So far we've stayed out of allowing production changes as those hypothetical changes are not something we've been interested in exploring. We did produce World at War and it's follow on A World Divided as grand WWII strategy games with production and research controlled by the players. It's has less weapons specific detail, being more like an Axis & Allies game on steroids, but it does allow a level of R&D and weapon development so players can explore lots of what if's.

Domanda: I am a big fan of Cold War gone hot 2d computer wargames. Any change of you guys making another one?
Risposta: It's possible we might use the War in the West system to do something like that in the future.

Domanda: What SSI title are/were you the most proud/fond of?
Risposta: In the early days Roger Keating's Operation Apocalypse and Charlie Merrow's Fighter Command were two of my favorites. Gary and I played Fighter Command by snail mail while he was working on his first computer games. Later on, clearly Panzer General and Steel Panthers were products that were special in that they were clearly the most polished of all the games and with great game play value, and they were attractive to a wider wargaming audience. As for 2by3 games products, I'm proud of them all, and enjoyed all of them when we were making them. WitE was great, WitW is even better. Hopefully I'll feel the same way about the next product.

adattare War in The West per una Cold War ? Beh non sarebbe male, quasi quasi riprenderei in mano i war games

Ma è davvero possibile adattarlo a gestire seriamente la guerra degli anni '80 ??

Ci sono recenti discussioni sul forum Matrix o altrove che parlino del progetto di un nuovo Steel Panther? C'è qualche dichiarazione di Grigsby in merito?

Non ci sarà l'espansione per witw su Polonia e Francia, almeno finché non finiscono wite2.

Billings:

The main issue with the 39 and 40 campaigns is that they are very short. We considered a Blitz game that would run from Sept 39 through 1940, but there could be a lot of boring turns in there. To do the Western Front justice in 1940, we'd need to add a more detailed naval model in order to simulate Norway, a possible Sea Lion and the operations in the Med. We decided there would be more interest in bringing the new WitW rules to WitE than there would be in 1940. It's hard to say what will happen down the road after WitE2.
