Así como pregunta a los moderadores, o global a los compañeros...seria muy mala idea una pequeña sección STEAM (o juego online) aquí en labsk? Para que los usuarios propusiéramos partidas online, intercambio de keys, ofertas?
Es solo una propuesta! Gracias

Pues eso, GMT reeditara (si llega a su numero minimo, like always) este juego ya de 1979, por 48$ en preorder.


(Me encanta el banner, me recuerda al Patton's strike back )

Que os parece?

Firestorm Campaign - Operation Bagration, June-August 1944
http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=1085


Firestorm—Bagration gives you the tools to recreate the 1944 Soviet offensive in Byelorussia. On 22 June, more than 2,000,000 Soviet soldiers stormed the heavily fortified lines of the badly outnumbered German Army Group Centre. The German defenses quickly crumbled under several sledgehammer blows. German armored reserves rushed forward, desperately counterattacking to stem the on-rushing Red tide in the climactic Battle of Minsk.

Firestorm—Bagration is Battlefront’s first map campaign using the Firestorm system. This campaign allows you to re-fight the battles of Operation Bagration on a grand scale in which you and your friends will be taking the part of the commanders that decided the course of history in those critical weeks of June and July 1944.

While the course and outcome of the real Operation Bagration can’t be changed, the outcome of your campaign is up to you. Either side can win. The Red Army could smash Army Group Centre opening the way to the offensives that ended the war, or the German Army could reverse history and stem the Soviet tide, buying time to rebuild and go on the offensive once more. The only guarantee is that the more games you play and win, the closer you will bring your side to victory.

No matter who wins, the campaign is a great opportunity to get in plenty of Flames Of War games, play new opponents, win glory for your army, and perhaps to meet new friends and rewrite history along the way.

Firestorm—Bagration uses a map to plot the strategic situation and show the effects of your tabletop games on the battles for Byelorussia. All of the important units, cities, terrain, and objectives of the operation are represented on the map.

The factors that shaped the historical battle will shape your campaign too. The rail lines that supplied each side and the fortress cities that dominated these railway lines are the key to victory.

The rivers that formed the successive German defensive lines decide where the battles will be fought. The Soviet partisans that virtually controlled the forests and marshes of Byelorussia hinder German efforts to move reinforcements to the front line.

Campaign Scenarios

There are two different campaign variants that you can try. The main campaign starts on 26 June, once the Soviets have broken through the fortifications and virtually surrounded the fortified cities. This scenario concentrates on the mobile battles on the road to Minsk and is a great place to start playing Firestorm—Bagration.

The extended campaign runs right from the start of Operation Bagration on 22 June 1944. In this scenario the Soviet offensive crashes into the Germans fortifications, seeking to break through and capture the fortified cities in their path.

Strategy
So let’s talk Strategy. Strategy Cards that is. Strategy Cards allow you to affect the game in myriad ways to bring your Clan closer to victory. Each Clan has unique Strategy Cards that can be played at various times for varying effects. Strategy Cards cost koku to draw, so you do have to give up some potential military resources for the turn to gain them.

Here is an example of some Strategy Cards being played to full effect. Assume the following:
4 players - Lion, Crane, Unicorn, and Crab.
The Lion player won the Imperial Favor for the round, thus granting him Initiative.
The Lion has just attacked a Unicorn Province adjacent to a Crab Province.

When the battle begins, players have an opportunity to play Strategy Cards. First the Lion, who has initiative chooses to play Lion’s Charge, to give all his units in the battle First Strike in an attempt to wipe out Unicorn opposition before they can retaliate.

Next, the Crane player decides that the Crab player has forces just a little too close to his border, and responds with Proposal of Peace, targeting the Lion in the Unicorn Province! The Crane choose to move the Lion forces to the adjacent Crab Province, where they will now have First Strike against the Crab forces.

Of course, the Crab doesn’t like this at all, and responds with a little Crab Diplomacy, causing the Lion to stay right where they are.

That’s just a small sample of what can happen in an Art of War battle. Check again soon for updates on the various types military units, the Imperial Favor, hostage exchanges, and more!



Desde mi punto de vista a mi me parece una "nueva version" del Shogun de MB, es decir, risk+samurais, y el añadido de las cartas-tacticas muy acorde al juego del que proviene....
Tocara esperar y ver...esperemos que no sea un Samurai&Katana 

Pd: Si alguien necesita algo de explicacion sobre la ambientacion, sobre la parte de "strategy" o lo que sea, que no dude en preguntar, soy un veterano rokugani
