Krigsspel Solo

Lightning Strikes! ger 1-6 spelare chansen att skapa en alternativ världshistoria mellan 1914-1954. Spelet är baserat på World in Flames-seriens detaljerade krigsspel. Utöver den fulla kampanjen finns även kortare scenarion från enskilda kampanjer till hela världskrig.

Tillverkarens beskrivning:

Lightning Strikes! gives players the chance to write a completely new narrative of 20th-century world history. In the full campaign game players create a new global history by managing their countries from the outbreak of war in 1914 through 1954, navigating potentially several world wars, as well as intervening lulls of global peace, while overseeing the development of exciting and devastating new weapons, until one player’s power bloc emerges victorious. There are also many shorter scenarios (from single campaigns to an entire world war) for players with limited time or focused interest. Lightning Strikes! is based on the legendary World in Flames family of detailed wargames.

Players take the role of one (or more) of 5 major powers: Commonwealth, Germany, Japan, Russia, or the USA. Secondary powers include Austria-Hungary, China (3 factions, Communist, Nationalist, and an imperial faction), France, Italy, Ottoman Empire, plus dozens of minor countries, including many new ones that were created along the way.

During each 6-month turn during wartime (or 2-year turn during global peace) players move and fight with their armies, fleets, and air forces around the globe, while also managing the economy, international diplomacy, and internal affairs, for the player’s countries. 3 to 5 impulses per turn each with variable weather gives both flexibility and uncertainty to your on-map units and their military offensives.

Lightning Strikes! provides an unmatched opportunity to explore all of what-if possibilities of this time period.
• Re-fight the Chinese, Russian, and Spanish civil wars to ensure your preferred faction wins the field (possibly with the help of your volunteers).
• See if the Central Powers can win (or at least not lose) World War I, and whether the Austro-Hungarian or Ottoman Empires can survive and modernize.
• Encourage new regional powers India, Poland, Spain, and the Ukraine to burst onto the world stage.
• Create numerous historical minor countries such as Czechoslovakia, Finland, and Turkey, as well as many might-have-been’s (many of whom emerged later on in real life) such as Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Vietnam.

To win a game of Lightning Strikes! you have to be a great statesman as well as a great general.
Whatever your choices, you’ll have to live with the consequences throughout 40 years of tumultuous change as you create new world history that will redefine the future. Only one thing is certain: no two games of Lightning Strikes! will ever be alike.
