Great War Questions

[Mitch (NDNG)]

Fellow Trench Dwellers

NDNG and NF will have a bunch of articles coming out on 16 and 23 November.

This should answer a lot of your questions, if not message me.,

Thanks for the add to the site. I assume that given the way V4 went that we will no longer need command teams for the machine gun and full artillery batteries?

Are there any plans in the works to include other powers in the Great War book or future supplements?: Russians, Italians, Serbs, Ottomans?

I wish. Right now I do not know of any plans for this. I assume it will come down to sculpts and interest.

Also, the focus of the game is 1918, so that leaves out the Russians and Serbs for the most part.

I seem to notice many "sitting it out" until their faction of choice is included. A bit cart vs horse? BF needs interest to invest more, but many unwilling to buy in until their specific interest is included.

From the outside looking in, a 40% off sale feels like a last gasp to clear inventory and/or drum up support. Not much confidence in there being additional investment. Hopefully I'm wrong though, and adding cavalry was a nice surprise.

I think BF probably recognizes that WW1 is a very niche period. I’m not sure I’d expect them to but a ton of resources into it. I’m thankful for getting an updated rule book. That exceeded my expectations for what I thought BF would do with WW1 following V4.

Tom has it right 100% right.... I have always been surprised they covered GW in the first place. As with folks waiting it out, I am fresh from working on the TY Poles, and the comments like where are the PT-76s ? Where is the the Naval Infantry? Which reinforces my theory that no single product will make everyone happy. With that said, if you like the FoW rules and like the GW why wouldn't you get a force to play this game?

Will the basic Great War game board still be 4x4?

One thing I really liked about Great War FoW is that it for you right into the action. It’s like the Barraage is lifted and you are there on the wire!

My biggest concern though is the V4 repeat bombardment rule causing reroll of save to infantry and guns in trenches. A trench should be a lot safer than a foxhole from bombardments. They really should not be tread the same way as they were in V3.
