Hi everyone! We are now back from PdxCon (most of us) and landing in our new offices, so brace for a ton of pictures! Oh and we announced the new expansion! If you haven't see the trailer <3 start there: [previewyoutube=rH0atlfbfzw;leftthumb][/previewyoutube] PdxCon 2019 PdxCon this year was imo one of the best ones so far. It was held in the Funkhaus Berlin. This place was super cool, and was basically the center of all radio and recording for DDR from the 50s until the german reunification.
We had announcements (among them CK3 and La Rsistance!), LAN parties, presentations and Q&A sessions with fans as well as a scramble-for-africa multiplayer game on sunday. Most of all though it was super fun to chat with fans and modding groups (several ones were there!)
WW2.. in hot pink!
A very humble picture of Bratyn on a throne ;D
HOI boardgame preview
Animals in the audience? In our booth we ran a challenge which we plan to be an achivement for LaR, just like we did with 30min of Hel last year. It was called "Don't Die for your Country" and was to capitulate France and Poland as Germany with as few of your own casualties as possible (and no using paratroopers). The final score was 475 casualties :O
Voigt was the winner, and you can read about how he did it here. We had a ton of fun and basically just crashed when we got home ;D it felt a lot like coming home from a music festival :) La Rsistance So 'ere we go... Our next expansion is now announced: La Rsistance! Its main theme is Espionage and Resistance and the main country focuses are France, both sides of the Spanish Civil War as well as Portugal. We will be starting off by going through espionage in the coming weeks in details For more info check out the announce post and there will probably be uploads of videos from PDXCon and my talks popping up on youtube in the near future. also here is a fresh unused screenshot to wet your appetites...
