Re: Kingmaker board game re-released.
I was very tempted when I saw it on Kickstarter, but my old Avalon Hill copy is still useable. They've put a lot of work into it, Willz, and even made the map easy to interpret.
If "The System" is the answer, who asked such a bloody stupid question?

When it came out in the 70s(?), I recall it being used as the basis for figure campaigns.
Perhaps something to consider for a future Ayton.....?

Re: Kingmaker board game re-released.
Yes - there's also a similar style of game for the ECW - Ironsides, which I've got for just that purpose, if I ever get around to it. Reviews are errr 'mixed'.

Re: Kingmaker board game re-released.
I had thought much the same. It was always a good game but the "unit" cards especially leant themselves to campaign army building etc...BaronVonWreckedoften wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2023 11:16 am When it came out in the 70s(?), I recall it being used as the basis for figure campaigns.

Re: Kingmaker board game re-released.
Mine arrived today, excellent production quality.
Very impressed with the game and it allows you to play the classic version.
Worth £48 including postage.
I will post some photos later.
