Truly one of the elite boards on the site. Ozyman has done an awesome job with the mechanics, balancing and graphics for this map. Tons of replayability, flexibility and the map is simply fun to play. V2 is an improvment on the original.
Amazing board. When I first saw it I thought it was too complicated for me and avoided it. I'm glad I got convinced to try it. It's definitely well worth getting to know better.
One of the best all around boards on this site. Uses almost all of the extra features offered by WarGear while still maintaining the general feel of the classic board. Well worth the time to learn.
Great board. You have to utilize different strategies depending on what color you are and the players you are playing. Never the same game twice. Definitely my favorite.
Excellent board. But could be better. Could have a better balance of power coming out. Seems Asia has the most difficult path out and Europe is right behind it. Africa with its 10 units in front of capitol is a huge advantage from beginning. Not sure why? With Europe for it to take green tech path is almost unfair since reward is so limited over cost to get extra armies placed. I still play it a lot and have tried to work though the in balances and overcome those issues. gg!
I was intimidated by this board for over a year, and I decided with the new year that it was past time to give it a try. I have to say I'm really enjoying it, there are a lot of layers of complexity that make for an interesting game. I know I'll continue learning how it works for a bunch of games before I feel comfortable with it and expand my review. There was a lot of thoughtfulness put into creating this board, good job Ozy!
There are so many things to do, so many ways to go wrong and so many ways to play. A few games won't be enough to get fed up of this board. Definitely a favorite.
I really love the research and the way the game unfolds - massive armies or heavy power or transport/vision/flasks - the tech trees each have their own strengths and weaknesses and make for different games. Really enjoy this map.
