The eagerly-awaited Reprint of Hermann Luttmann's popular A Most Fearful Sacrifice 2nd EDITION is now live on Kickstarter. The first pledgers will receive a 1$ copy of AMFS. What's different in the 2nd Edition? Well, there are two new scenarios, THE LONG ROAD and SUMMER STORM. There are numerous small changes to the rule and scenario books, including anything worthwhile brought up in forums/etc.. Additionally, the game contains larger PACs. Specifically the Combat Results Table, Terrain Effects Chart, Close Fight/Combat Event, and Sequence of Play have been enlarged and placed on a 11" x 17" cards. Where are you shipping? Most everywhere. The United States, Canada, the EU, Great Britain, Australia/New Zealand, and also Asia. Customers will pay VAT and import taxes where applicable. A Most Fearful Sacrifice is an epic two-player wargame with over 15 square feet of playing area (you don't to use it all, if you don't want to) and 526 playing pieces depicting the fighting that occurred during all three days of this decisive clash. The game utilizes a new ACW operating system called the Black Swan system, which is closely related to the popular Blind Swords game system first introduced in the game The Devil’s To Pay! by Tiny Battle Publishing. This version of the system is specifically designed to handle larger-scale battles yet keep rules overhead low. Players can simulate huge encounters in a reasonable amount of playing time. This is accomplished in one way through the use of card draws rather than chit pulls. Also, players will trigger activations by Corps instead of by lower-level formations but they still have tactical decision-making choices by needing to determine which Divisions get activation priority. Though at a grander scale, this system maintains a tactical feel about it and still emphasizes the three “FOW’s” of war … the Fortunes of War, the Friction of War and the Fog of War. Players will be challenged to deal with a constantly developing battle situation, never quite sure of what the Gods of War will throw at them, and thus they must always be prepared to deal with historically realistic “black swan” events. |
