Let’s get you up to speed on the project!

Our professional rulebook writers are currently revising the rules to finalize the document. We expect to hand them off to the graphic designer in a couple of weeks.

Based on feedback from our playtesters, the graphic design team has updated some counters for easier identification and refined minor details on the map. Once we have the final rules and our team creates the final file, we’ll share it on our website so you can read it.

We’re very close to starting the printing process, which we anticipate will happen in June or early July. Shipping is currently estimated for the last quarter of this year.

January 2025 – Monthly Update

NevaNewsJanuary 26, 2025January 26, 2025Leave a Comment

Hi everyone!
We’re kicking off 2025 with a fresh look for our monthly updates, and we hope you like it!
Our team is buzzing with energy this year, and we’ve been hard at work on some exciting projects. Let’s dive into the highlights:

1. Introducing Incoming!

You might remember us mentioning this last year, but we’re thrilled to officially announce the launch of our new Incoming! system.

Essentially, Incoming! combines a booking system (P-300) with a community-driven approach to game development, complemented by a crowdfunding campaign hosted on our website.

How it works:
Book games: Browse our Incoming! catalog and book games you’d love to see published. Booking a game is free; payment will be requested once the game reaches the Collect Payments phase.
Reach the goal: Once a game reaches 300 bookings, we move to the development phase.
Pre-launch: Once two games are nearing production, they enter the pre-launch phase.
Collect payments: When 500+ orders are placed in total, we trigger the printing process.
Shipping: Games are shipped immediately after manufacturing.

Explore the Incoming! section and discover exciting new games waiting for your support. We also have two games ready for pre-launch!

2. Our First Pre-launch Campaign

To celebrate the launch of Incoming!, we’ve prepared our first pre-launch campaign featuring two fantastic games: “Iwo Jima: Hell On Earth” and “Sea & Steel: Columbus’ Voyages.”

Why this approach?

Community Support: As a small, independent publisher, your support is crucial to bringing these games to life.
Print-on-Demand: This model allows us to minimize risk and ensure you receive high-quality games.
Fair Pricing: We’re passionate about offering our games at a price that’s accessible to all wargamers.

Don’t miss out! Book your copies today and enjoy a significant discount when you purchase the bundle.

3. New additions to our Incoming! (P-300).

In January, we introduced two new games:

6. Spartacus: Rome Under Threat (Graphic Design Progress)

The development for this game is nearing completion. Adolfo Suarez (Graphic designer) is progressing well, and Spartacus is taking shape. More updates will be provided soon.

7. Survey Stats

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of two exciting new games to our Incoming! system.

Booking a game is completely free.
This helps us gauge interest and ensure these games are produced.
You will only be notified for payment collection during a pre-launch phase when the game is ready for printing.
Check our pre-launch section for more information.

Crete: Death From The Sky

“Crete: Death From The Sky” by Juan Carlos Pastrana has been declared the winner of our first prototype contest held during the recent MdG Online Wargame Convention.

We congratulate Juan Carlos on this fantastic achievement!

To all aspiring game designers: Keep an eye out for our next prototype contest, which we may be repeating in the coming year.

🟦CONTEMPORARY | STRATEGIC | 1-2 PLAYERS | DURATION 60-90′ GAME DESIGN: JUAN CARLOS PASTRANA

The Battle of Crete was a turning point. The Germans, shocked by their heavy losses, limited the use of their paratroopers to conventional infantry roles. In contrast, the Allies, recognizing the potential of these troops, integrated them into their airborne forces for future operations like Overlord or Market Garden. In this wargame, you’ll face critical decisions.

As the Axis, you must carefully select your initial targets, exploiting the element of surprise to secure airfields and ports. Effective deployment will allow you to receive reinforcements and consolidate your control over the island, preventing the Allied troops from escaping to Egypt.

As the Allies, your mission is to defend key points with tenacity, using your best units to launch counterattacks and slow down the enemy advance. Even if you lose Crete, you still have a chance to achieve victory by evacuating troops to Egypt and inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.

Can the Axis conquer Crete without sacrificing their valuable paratrooper division? Or will the Allies manage to resist and change the course of the war?

Cid Campeador: Warlord

A new game by José Manuel Neva. Immerse yourself in the epic saga of El Cid and experience Moorish Spain during his legendary exploits.

🟩 MEDIEVAL | STRATEGIC | 1-4 PLAYERS | DURATION 180-300′
GAME DESIGN: JOSE MANUEL NEVA

Cid Campeador: Warlord is a strategic-level wargame set in the tumultuous Moorish Spain of the late 11th century. Players step into the shoes of iconic figures from the era, vying for supremacy on the Iberian Peninsula. The game spans the dramatic 15 years from 1085 to 1099, a period marked by El Cid’s exile, the expansion of Christian kingdoms, and the growing influence of the Almoravids.

Four asymmetric factions offer distinct gameplay experiences:

– El Cid Campeador: A formidable warlord, free to offer his services to the highest bidder, influencing the course of the conflict.
– Christian Kingdoms: Expanding northward from the peninsula, conquering Taifa territories.
– Taifa Kingdoms: Struggling to maintain independence amid internal strife and external threats.
– Almoravids: Invading from North Africa, aiming to conquer the southern regions.

Cards are the game’s lifeblood, granting players initiative, operation points, and the ability to trigger game-changing events. Treasure, acquired through conquest and plunder, provides additional benefits. Player interaction is intense, with strategic alliances, betrayals, and direct confrontations shaping the outcome. Fate cards add an element of chance and unpredictability.

While designed for four players, Cid Campeador: Warlord can be enjoyed with fewer. The AI takes control of absent factions, ensuring a challenging experience for solo or two-player games.

Victory is determined by accumulating the most victory points, earned through territorial conquest, strategic objectives, and controlling key locations.

Game Turn Structure:

1 Administrative Phase: Manage internal affairs and prepare for the turn.
2 Diplomatic Phase: Form alliances, declare war, and negotiate treaties.
3 Initiative Phase: Determine the order of player actions.
4 Action Phase: Execute military campaigns, develop territories, and play cards.
5 Maintenance Phase: Manage resources, replenish forces, and prepare for the next turn.

Experience the epic struggles of medieval Spain in Cid Campeador: Warlord.

We will be providing regular updates on the progress of these two exciting new game additions in our monthly newsletters.

Don’t forget to book the games you’re interested in through our Incoming! system.

December 2024 update

NevaIncoming, News, Pre-ordersDecember 31, 2024December 31, 20245 Comments

Today marks the end of our first year, and we’d like to reflect on our accomplishments and outline our plans for 2025.

2024 overview:

As you may know, we’re a small independent wargame publisher that embarked on this journey at the beginning of 2024. While our goal was to release our first game this year, establishing the company and building our brand consumed a significant portion of our time.

Throughout 2024, our brand has evolved significantly thanks to your invaluable support and feedback. Your input has been crucial in shaping our vision and determining the types of wargames we want to offer you. Click here to learn more about our three product lines.

This year, we officially announced six games that are now part of our “Incoming!” section (games currently under development). We’ve also seen impressive community growth: 21,000 website visits, nearly 500 newsletter subscribers, nearly 900 followers on X, 530 on Facebook, 580 on Instagram and 30 on Youtube. On Board Game Geek, we’ve garnered 7 fans and 15 subscribers. We are incredibly grateful for everyone who follows us and shows interest in our work.

Feel free to contact us anytime through social media, the contact form, or email. We welcome all feedback as we strive to enhance this hobby together.

While we didn’t achieve our initial goal of printing games in 2024, we successfully brought Iwo Jima to your tables as an easy-to-craft print-and-play game available to all newsletter subscribers. If you haven’t already, check it out here.

2024 flew by, and we often felt we needed more time to accomplish our goals. However, reflecting on this final monthly update, we realize we achieved more than we initially expected. This newfound confidence fuels our energy and enthusiasm as we look ahead to 2025.

What are our plans for 2025? Keep reading below!

2025 plans:

We have a wealth of ideas and are always striving for progress, but we understand the importance of focusing on one thing at a time. Therefore, we’ll share our general plan while keeping a few surprises in store throughout the year.

Pre-order System:
Early 2025, we’ll introduce a pre-order system on our website.
We anticipate 1-2 pre-order waves throughout the year, each featuring two games.
You can choose to pre-order one or both games within a wave, potentially benefiting from combined shipping costs.
To initiate the printing process, we require 500 pre-orders between both games.
Pre-order at a discounted price and help us bring this project to life! Your payment is only processed if we reach the 500-order goal.
No further discounts will be offered after the pre-order period.
Games are expected to ship within 4-6 months of pre-order completion.
Directly purchasing from our website will be the only way to acquire our games.
Pre-ordering is the best way to guarantee your copy, as stock may be very limited or unavailable after the pre-order period.
Reprinting is possible but not guaranteed.
We’ll provide more details when announcing the first wave of pre-order games.
We deeply appreciate all pre-order participants, who we consider valuable members and contributors to our brand.
Game Announcements:
Exciting game announcements are on the horizon!
We’ll gradually reveal new titles throughout the year, starting in January with the winner of our first prototype contest.
Stay tuned for these exciting reveals!
Polls and Surveys:
Your feedback is invaluable to us.
We encourage you to share your thoughts via email or social media comments.
To further enhance your involvement, we’ll include a brief poll or survey in each monthly update.
This valuable input will help us improve.

We’re incredibly excited about 2025 and eagerly anticipate seeing our first games on your tables!

We are grateful for your continued support throughout the year.

Happy New Year to all!

Deck the halls! November is flying by, and the holiday season is just around the corner. Let’s take a look back at the month’s highlights and get ready to celebrate.

Sea & Steel Crowdfunding Campaign:

The Sea & Steel game board is shaping up beautifully. We are in the final stages of perfecting the cards, player aid sheets and rulebook.

We’re committed to providing the best possible user experience. Your feedback helped us improve the map by making it larger and rectangular. Thanks!

We’re excited to share the final design of the counters. We hope you like them as much as we do!

Sea & Steel: Columbus’s Voyages is coming to Gamefound! Join our preview campaign now to show your support and be the first to know about our official launch. We’re hard at work finalizing the game and preparing an unforgettable crowdfunding experience. Stay tuned for exciting updates and the official campaign launch date!

Collaborations:

Last call to get your ticket for MdG24 Online Wargames Convention (organized by the Mesa de Guerra team). This is an event tailor-made for all of us, bringing us together from our homes through technology!

We know that in-person conventions have their magic (and we don’t want to change that!), but with MdG24, we’re opening a new door for those who want to enjoy everything wargaming has to offer without leaving their favorite armchair or having those conversations that might not happen at a physical convention because we’re too eager to play.

WHEN?
Thursday, December 12th to Sunday, December 15th, 2024.

WHERE?
Exclusive Discord server for the MdG24 Online Convention.

REGISTRATION
Standard Ticket: €10
Game Designer-Publisher Ticket: €5

INCOMING!

Support the games you’re most excited about by signing up and adding them to your wishlist. The most wishlisted titles will climb the development queue, meaning you have a direct impact on our release schedule!

Note: All images shown for upcoming titles are provisional. Final artwork will be revealed as the games progress to later development stages.

Now, let’s dive into the current status of each project, listed in order of wishlist popularity and development status. Remember, a project won’t be ready for a Gamefound campaign until it reaches 90-100% completion.

Spartacus: Rome Under Threat
Game Overall Status: 80%

We’re excited to announce that Prototype version 5 is complete! This means the final playtesting wave is imminent. Additionally, our new solitaire mode is in the works and is expected to be finished by December.

Kursk: Rotmistrov’s Offensive
Game Overall Status: 60%

We’ve been busy preparing our first two crowdfunding campaigns, so development on the game has slowed down this month. We’ll be back to full speed soon for the final development phase before release.
