Meet-up 7/8 June 2008 : Here I Stand !!

All, ada rencana meet-up juga hr minggu 27 April 08 di SatU nih, jam 12an, dgn menu game : Here I Stand.

Players needed !! so far yg listed : kohee, gue, dani (hehe, sorry tanpa konfirmasi gue masukin nama elo langsung Dan, tp elo bisa kan? )
up to 3 more players needed, so, ada yg interested ? Rencananya main short scenario, expected sekitar 4 jam.

Ini salah satu great wargame yg dapet banyak awards, so, don't miss it!
gue copy summary nya dari BGG deh :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here I Stand: Wars of the Reformation 1517-1555 is the first game in over 25 years to cover the political and religious conflicts of early 16th Century Europe. Few realize that the greatest feats of Martin Luther, Jean Calvin, Ignatius Loyola, Henry VIII, Charles V, Francis I, Suleiman the Magnificent, Ferdinand Magellan, Hernando Cortes, and Nicolaus Copernicus all fall within this narrow 40-year period of history. This game covers all the action of the period using a unique card-driven game system that models both the political and religious conflicts of the period on a single point-to-point map.

There are six main powers in the game, each with a unique path to victory :
The Ottomans
The Habsburgs
The English
The Valois Dynasty of France
The Papacy
The Protestants

Here I Stand is the first card-driven game to prominently feature secret deal-making. A true six-sided diplomatic struggle, the game places a heavy emphasis on successful alliance-building through negotiations that occur away from the table during the pre-turn Diplomacy Phase. Set during the period in which Niccolo Machiavelli published his masterpiece "The Prince," backstabbing is always possible, especially because the card deck is loaded with event and response cards that can be played by any power to disrupt the plans of the powers in the lead.

Here I Stand integrates religion, politics, economics and diplomacy in a card-driven design. Games vary in length from 3-4 hours for a tournament scenario up to full campaign games that run about twice the time. Rules to play games with 3, 4, or 5 players are also included. The 3-player game is just as well balanced as the standard 6-player configuration, taking advantage of the natural alliances of the period.

Awards and Recognition:
Winner of the 2006 Charles S. Roberts Award for Best Pre-World War II Boardgame (Charles S. Roberts Awards).
Nominee for the 2006 Charles S. Roberts Award for Best Wargame Graphics (Charles S. Roberts Awards).
Winner of the 2006 Walter Luc Haas Award for Best Simulation Game (in Germany).
Nominee for the 2007 GAMES Magazine Award for Best Historical Simulation.
Finalist for the 2007 International Gamers Award in the Historical Simulation Category.
Finalist for the 2007 BoardGameGeek Golden Geek Award for Best Wargame.[strike]

Coy, gwe The Ottomans

@adhika : pake teleconference, siapa yg mao bayar pulasanya untuk 3-4 jam?

@dani
ok, sip, the ottomans udh booked buat elo

@all
kalo udh mau decide nanti main pake major power apa, just let us know, first come first serve! hehe....

note : nanti kalau sampe main cuma ber-5, player yang control England sekaligus control the Protestant. and worst case kalau ternyata cm ber-4, player yg control Hapsburg jg control the Papacy.

pake esia/xl aja bro biar murah

ayo dong pada daftr lagi pesrtanya

biar tdk rangkap jabatan

Iya pakai esia/XL yg nelpon selamanya, buktikan bahwa iklan itu benar

session Here I Stand nya di re-schedule deh...hehe, kira2 up to 2 bulan lagi !
semoga dlm 1 bln ini sempet "nge-zip" rulebook & 16-pages flowchart nya, n bikin short rules summary utk tiap faction deh
jadinya ntar tiap player bisa baca rules summary masing2 yg relevan utk factionnya aja

jadi kmrn maen apa nih di satu ?

sempet cobain here i stand trial 1 turn sih (1 turn blm sampe abis aja udh 1 jam-an hahaha). terus main primordial soup, kingsburg & ivanhoe

mabok oi, kalau main rangkap - rangkap jadi bingung

1 person 1 faction harusnya

dengan diundurnya event here i stand , gw jd ada kesempatan buat ngikut , hahaha

so far sptnya akan begini nih :

Ottoman : Dani
Papacy : Eric
Protestants : Bram
France : Reyner
England : Gue
Hapsburg : Adhika (kalo pas kebetulan ke Jkt), or kalo gak, terpaksa dirangkap sm Eric jg...

Wah kalo lanjut Ottomans gwe udah nyebrang sampe italy, malahan bisa ke amerika tuh.....

Tapi gwe salut ama nih game, kalo lu liat vidor bawa makalah rulnya plus flowchart halaman yg diprint sampe panjang, waduh....bahkan veteran boargame yg udah lama juga bakalan kesulitan ama nih game, bener bener boardgamer sejati!

oiii... gua bersedia mengisi kekosongan kalo adhika gak jadi ke jkt, biar eric gak rangkap.

Oii...guys, since bro Adhika bakalan ke Jkt tgl 5 Juni, gimana kalo Here I Stand nya kita mainin hari Sabtu (7 Juni) or Minggu (8 Juni) ? Btw, gue blm tau Adhika nya justru bisanya Sabtu or Minggu, tapi one of those days lah.
