First World War Campaigns: FRANCE 1914

[Mr Grumpy]

Indeed First World War Campaigns is brand new series for us to enjoy which will complement the existing PzC/MC series and using a modified version of the PzC/MC engine, so any player who is familiar with PzC/MC interface will be right at home with the first title of this series France 14.

I was lucky enough to be asked by the designer Ed Williams (aka Volcano Man) to join his testing team and i can tell you that this title is a cracker, we have worked very hard for 18 months on making all the small/medium scenarios PBEM (or H2H) friendly, we have also introduced some brand new features that will give this game a much different "feel" from PzC/MC.

The greatest change that PzC/MC players will have to adapt to is that this title uses a modified version of the Alt fire rules by default and one of the favourite tactics of many PzC/MC players to create huge stacks to disrupt and assault enemy units will now lead to massive (and i am talking in the hundreds) of men lost per defensive shot!
So this will mean that players will have to be more cautious/subtle their attacks and all the testers agreed that we will have to repeat this message over and over until PzC/MC players unlearn the stacking habits of the past! LOL

Anyway check out my article on the new features in my other thread..;)

Also, would have liked Paris to be on the map.

The map does not include Paris, only the eastern outskirts.

I wonder if division level might not be better for WW1.

No this title works just fine at Battalion level.

Will this be an HPS/Tiller game?

Yup, any PzC/MC player will be right at home with F14.
