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.
