Wars Across the World : la version plateau arrive bientôt

En bref. Si le concept de Wars Across the World vous intéresse, mais que vous préférez vos jeux de plateau sur une table de salon plutôt que sur un bureau virtuel, bonne nouvelle, le projet de déclinaison du jeu vient d’être repris cet été par le studio italien Aleph Game. Qui a donc annoncé il y a quelques semaines une série intitulée Aleph Pocket, réalisée en collaboration avec Philippe Thibaut (Ageod) et Stéphane Parrin (Strategiae – Wars Across the World).

Les premiers titres de cette série, il y en aura quatre par an en théorie, consisteront en une déclinaison de quatre modules de Wars Across the World : Hamilkar 264 BC, Tannenberg 1914, Normandy 1944 et Six days 1967. Chaque jeu proposera une carte format A3, 36 cartes “évènements”, une centaine de pions et deux livrets de règles.

Faute de plus amples informations ou images pour l’instant, je vous remets ici en en-tête une ancienne photo d’un des prototypes de la version jeu de plateau.

Wars Across the World

Greetings everyone!

Here at Aleph Game Studio we are always trying to come up with something new to offer.

This time “this something new” is called “Aleph Pocket Series” and before going wherever you’re planning to spend your summer holidays, we would like to share with you what it is all about.

Aleph Game Studio is proud to announce the beginning of a co-operation with Philippe Thibaut (the author of boardgame titles such as “La Grande Guerre” or the most famous grand-strategy “Europa Universalis”) and Stéphane Parrin (Strategiae).

The first step to initiate the Aleph Pocket Series will be the production of the tabletop version of some titles from Wars Across the World, a famous videogames series developed by Stéphane Parrin.

This series distinguishes itself by having basic rules common to all titles plus a few additional dedicated rules for each scenario. The uniqueness of this game system is its speed: all the titles can be played in less than two hours, without leaving behind its brilliant gameplay perception.

Each title will be produced in a “slim box” where inside you will find:

1 “A3” format map;
36 play cards;
A counter sheet with 108 game counters;
1 Battle Card;
1 16-pages Basic Rules book in colours;
1 4-pages Specific Rules book in colours.

By the last week of August we will prepare the pre-orders campaign for the first 4 Titles which we would like to publish:

Hamilkar 264 B.C.: The First Punic War in Sicily;
Tannenberg 1914: The Opening Campaign on the Eastern Front in World War 1;
Normandy 1944: The Greatest Military Operation ever done;
Six Days 1967: The Blitzkrieg in the Middle East.

Our plans for “Aleph Pocket Series” is to publish 4 titles per year!
