Great insight!
I always love seeing these design interviews. It’s always fascinating how a game like Konflikt ’47 comes together.
Weiiiiird?
O do hope the rules f
O dp
Great video, interesting to hear about the considerations that are made, like deciding how many rift markers on a die etc
Lots of points there I’d never considered.
Good interview. I am loving the weird part of weird war ii 😁
it is interesting to see how game designing works
A great series of videos.
wish i lived close enough to have been able to playtest 🙁 . great interview
interesting how they went with dice rolling rather than other methods of semi controlled card drawn dice results
I think the russians are looking great
I love the shots of the other models outside the starter set – it’s getting very hard to choose between factions
K47 looks fun
Really wanted to get into this first time round but never really got going. Nice to see the comeback!
Very interesting insight into game design.
Really enjoyed the breadth of K47 content this week, great job! This design interview was the most interesting of all, for me. Having resisted the temptation of the previous edition, I definitely feel the rift calling this time around. Those news bears just look too good.
Great stuff
Very interesting to see the behind the scenes thinking of game design.
The design input is really interesting
Have owned Konflikt ’47 for years, unfortunately evry little local interest so far. I really hope that changes with this great new edition and those fantastic miniatures.
Plastics are fantastic. I do not have patience nor tools to drill and pin metals. As an older modeler I find it easier to glue and convert with that material. Plan to use other kit models for extra parts. I can hardly wait to see what other vehicles they add to line.
I like the background on the development of the rift dice mechanic. This part of the game is growing on me.
Playtesting and rules writing are a crucial aspect of developing a new rule system and I’m glad that warlord took it seriously and not only did a Bolt action supplement
Great and interesting Insides!
Enoyed the interview
The Nachtalben have to be my favorite of the Rift infantry, I don’t own any K47 minis, but they look extremely cool.
Great stuff, having played BA a fair bit, I love the added features which extend the rules in new ways.
Lovely stuff!
Love the idea of the rift dice and how it affects the factions differently.
Like the heroes. Didn’t they have heroes in Bolt Action? Or did they just not have different stats…
An excellent interview, I always love these ones when I get to hear from rule makers, I find it very encouraging as someone doing it myself for the first time
Good interview
Keep it coming can’t wait to get my gaming group into this!!!
Thanks for this different angle look at the new edition.
Love seeing Konflikt get some coverage.
Commenting, to be in with a chance to win 😊
