近期銷售概況和未來預定計畫

本社於2012年3月出版的第一款盒裝戰棋《英烈千秋-中國八年抗戰》至今年10月,一共印刷500套已經全數售完,感謝海內外戰友的支持和鼓勵,大家關於這款遊戲的批評和建議我們也會在未來的產品中做改進和更新,若有任何此遊戲上的問題,也請不吝提出。

原定於今年底出版的《作戰藝術系列-徐蚌會戰》由於測試還不完全,因此不會在近期出版,我們會等到此系列的三款遊戲《錦瀋會戰》、《平津會戰》都規劃完全之後再進行出版,希望可以在未來兩年內問世,讓久候的戰友們失望,非常抱歉。

另外大家關心的戰棋雜誌系列,由於從2010年以來我們已經陸續出版10本雜誌,並且將其價格控制在200到400元新台幣左右,而這4年來,兩岸四地陸續開始有許多戰棋遊戲像是《縱橫戰國》、《決戰三國》、《辛亥革命》、《中原大戰》、《死亡前線》等,今年在大陸更有新的戰棋雜誌《指揮與戰略》準備推出,因此我們已經完成《戰棋》作為唯一華文雜誌來推廣圖板戰棋的階段性任務,所以目前已經結束我們和經銷商的合作關係,暫時為停刊的狀態。

現在我們會逐步針對過去出版過的產品重新測試其平衡性並進行檢查和更新規則,也會錄製一些教學影片(過去只完成《血戰古寧頭》、《八百壯士》)和《圍城虎嘯》),而未來將會以P300(預購數量達到300套)的模式來出版盒裝戰棋,《戰棋》雜誌在未來仍有機會以其他種型態進行出版,敬請期待。

本社其它售完的產品包含三款明信片戰棋《川中島之戰》、《品味台灣》、《賽德克之歌》,和秀橋資訊合作的《決戰五都》也即將售完。

  4. 老實講戰棋雜誌停刊除了令人覺得難過之外,也相當遺憾. 在台灣wargame只是一個小圈子,尤其是戰略級wargame的玩家更是寥寥可數,難得能有戰棋雜誌這種性價比極高的好期刊,在推廣上起到極大的作用,尤其是其中附上的遊戲多與我們自身歷史有關,彌補了國外大作對這塊的欠缺,對我而言這本雜誌就跟日本著名的三家wargame雜誌一樣,相當於台灣唯一有能力推出高質量自身歷史wargame的團體,且雜誌內容充實,推薦遊戲亦有深有淺,介紹內容也真的夠內行,比一般玩家心得要迄及核心.更別提其價格低廉,再貴個一倍都值得買. 我覺得大陸也要出雜誌那是另一回事,戰棋社核心價值其實不只是代表唯一華文戰棋雜誌而已,更代表了台灣自製wargame的能力,或許有點偏題,但是很多人可能在看了雜誌玩了遊戲後,產生設計的熱情與動力. 戰棋雜誌停刊令人痛心疾首,由衷期盼他再出版的那一天.

  5. This is a sad day. I always tried to pick up the latest copy on my trips, or get a copy mailed to me. The importance of Board Wargame magazine was not that it was about wargames, but it had good coverage of Wars and Conflicts that are of interest for Taiwanese or Chinese people. In addition, it accurately modeled the conflicts without succumbing to political correctness. For example, once I set up MengLiangGu and playtested it solitaire I intuitively understood the envelopment and counter envelopment in play in that battle, while if you watch too many mainland "historical" dramas you would think Zhang was an incompetant who drove tanks to mountains. And the 1950 Taiwan Strait Crisis game where you would understand why you could not reinforce DaChen Islands, and why the troops there are doomed as ROC jets did not have the range to provide air cover. As I had family who died on YiJiangShan (ROC side of course) this realization was significant.

    If you ever decide to restart the magazine, you have at least a few hardcore fans whose needs are not met by any one else. I hope to see all the Chinese Civil war series of game published in some form in the future once you finished testing. Have you considered kickstarting those?

    PS Is Everlasting Glory purchasable in person? I've asked around stores, but could not find it. I know MMP publishes War of Suns, but could not find everlasting glory anywhere.

    1. Thanks for your encourage. We are working on the Chinese Civil War series right now. We never give up publishing new games related to Chinese war history. We will release the news in the following month.
