Thanks for joining the i1989 League. The first issue is how many games to play. Bruce and I originally thought 16 games, but if that seems too long we can...
Hi, I'd like to participate in the league. I love playtesting for people, and this seems like a cool premise. Also, I'm currently in the TS league, and it'd...
I'm hoping you guys will help me develop and polish this game. I feel it has a lot of potential and also a lot of room to improve. It would help a lot if you...
Regarding 1989.... I find power struggle dull. In HRC there is a chance to retreat every time you got initiative, it makes battle card choces much more...
... I lovwe this idea. It also makes the leader cards useful to discard to reject the draw. I'd like to hear from experienced Hannibal players what they think....
1. This game is a variant of Twilight Struggle but the deck management strategy works differently. The Democrat needs to play his own events more often than in...
Very close game. I never drew Solidarity. I think Jeff played it the TS track 3 times. I drew Tank Man twice and was able to make it to the second to last...
Communist victory, -28 on final scoring. The game started well for Ted, as Free Speech gave him Lodz on a roll of 6 despite USSR control of Lublin and Warsaw...
Commies win on final scoring, -19, sides decided randomly both games. This game was a bit more even than our first, though early on it looked like the USSR was...
USA Autovictory on turn 2, +20 VPs. The game began with a war over board position in Hungary and Poland, as usual, with Hungary neutral (Budapest/Szeged USA,...
Mike placed a lot of at start SPs in Germany. I was able to score Hungary for control after using Gorbachev to flip Budapest. He played Solidarity first turn,...
Version used: 2.1 Things started relatively evenly, although Ted had some better cards and rolls. The fact that I drew most of the Power Struggles really did...
Democrats had a nice start with Solidarity. Communists had Poland Scoring and played it early. Democrat took power and scored for domination. Communist built...
Communists: See Democrats: Robinson (winner on turn 9 with 23 VPs) I got off to a horrible start the first turn, with a weak hand that was made worse by a...
Any thoughts on this idea: 1. Add 1 Democratic SP to Szeged to the set up. 2. Reduce the extra SPs to place at start to 7 each. New order for placing SPs would...
Democrats got good foothold in the Poland at the start. I decided to make Hungary mine to counter that. Poland was won by Democrats early on, in Hungary they...
VPs were -3 I placed an SP in Timisoara to break control. In final scoring I had control of Germany and Poland, but Riku had control in Czechoslovakia and...
Commies went after Hungary and got it under control, while Democrats got a solid domination in Poland (Commies held only elite space). In Germany there was a...
... I could be wrong about that. Having looked at the card text, it says that the Democrat may exchange it for any card with the title written in Red. I...
... The cards with the title in Red are the pre-requisite cards. They are St. Nicholas Church, Laszlo Tokes, Sajudis, Baltic Way, and Solidarity Legalized....
It's apparent that the Communist has a substantial advantage at this point. I am happy with the event cards, though if someone thinks an event doesn't work, or...
Hi, Version 2.2 with the play balance changes Ted mentioned, is now available at the website. Please make sure to use this version in all league games going...
Hey everyone - I've been slacking a little bit as far as the league goes thanks to work stresses - hoping to get in a game this evening. Is there a card list...
This 1989 Electronic Hand program gives you all the information you need. It's 2 Excel Spreadsheets. 1 has to whole deck. You can drag the cards into the other...
A close game, -6 at final scoring. The Dems made a strong push for Poland early, while the Commies went for Hungary (I had the scoring card in my opening...
