This looks really cool. Interesting that the ships are mounted on plastic whatever-they're-called. Also love the division template designer, that's such a cool detail to adapt to the board game.
Combat looks really deep, as armies have a whole range of stats.
No cardboard counters, but I suppose those who think that's really important also own board games with counters they can borrow them from
.You can also apparently go communist, facist, or democratic as any playable nation. I don't particularly care for this particular option, but I admit it will probably be interesting to play around with.
As the interviewer says, "it's a tactical wargame nested into a Eurogame where you regulate production and consumption".
Combat is "straight-forward" and "intuitive", but with all the stats it still seems deep. Combat will in most case s not be resolved immediately, as you need to do a certain amount of damage to actually win a fight, like in the video game where you have to wear down a division's organisation to rout it.
Game will be put on on kickstarter this year, released next year.
Really looking forward to this.
