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!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy summer holidays everyone!

RULEBOOK 1883 ENGLISH (playtest draft)

Conquer the Holy Roman Empire!

As promised, from today the pre-order campaign for Baroque is starting!

Richard H. Berg (Successors III, Pax Romana, Blackbeard, Great Battles of History) has come out with another title in his decades long career, and this time he’s taking us to the 1650’s Holy Roman Empire, at the end of the 30-years War!

Players: 2-4
Playing time: 2 ½ hours (short game), 4+ hours (long game)

In Baroque you will take control of a German Princedom that is struggling for military and political supremacy, with the objective of being in a strong position for the election of the next Emperor!

You have to manage the income from the territories under your control, defend them from enemies and expand to obtain more prestige and power. You will build Cities, Fortresses, Bishoprics and Armies.

Generals, Bishops, Nobles and Architects of the era will be able to be at your side and at your service!

Which Princedom will emerge in this time of chaos?

From today it’s possible to pre-order your own copy of Baroque at the price of 49€ at the following link.

Shipping costs:

  • Italy: 7 €
  • Europe: 15 €
  • ConUS and Canada: 20 €
