Issue #44 Changes to Technology Reveals (Part 2)

As part of my work as the Developer of Space Empires: Replicators I was tasked by Jim to come up with a more detailed Sequence of Play than what was in the base game.  We had added a lot of technology and steps in the turns that were not covered by the base game rules and a new Sequence of Play was needed to make sure there was no confusion as to when in a given turn certain things occurred.

This article is a continuation of Issue #42. It can be found here.

Beneath the Med: “The Hunters” Heads to Italy

Genesis of Beneath the Med

After The Hunters was released, numerous requests came in for an Italian expansion. At the time I didn’t really know much about their fleet or operations. After doing some initial research, I was amazed at the size and scope of the Italian submarine effort. No less astounding was the fact that the Italian boats even participated in Operation Drumbeat, sinking ships in the Caribbean and South Atlantic. There were at least 27 boats operating out of the Bay of Biscay at the BETASOM base there.   Intrigued, I continued research, and became quickly convinced there was a full-fledged game to be had here.
