>me hoping Italy would be represented here
Oh. Sweet!
This channel has major Sam O'Nella vibes!
Cmon verlfish do your rhing
As a wargamer this game is the one game i just go nope not doing it.
Listen… I will play it if you can document it or someone else, and I will play italy
My HoI4 player friend’s ass when I drag them to play the REAL game:
I’m down another rabbit hole aren’t I.
Makes sense why valefisk is taking so long
The thing. You can actually play CNA on tabletop simulator.
And I thought that Axis and Allies Global 1940 was insane…
You vastly underestimate the power of people with way too much time on their hands
Here rn I will set out to conquer North African campaign
The game map would honestly be perfect for a hex crawl ttrpg.
Imagine the level of skill of you gain by winning this against pro players
Doing some quick math, assuming you played this game as if it were your job – 8 hours a day, 5 days a week – it comes out to 37.5 weeks of playing time, not accounting for public holidays. So if you started at the beginning of January you wouldn't finish until sometime in thr second half of September.
“Yay I win!”
“Best of 3?”
Pretty sure I knew somebody who tried to play this. They played every weekend and dedicated one room to preserving the set up (no idea if they finished it, but I'm guessing not).
Waiting for the valefisk video
Knights of the Dinner Table spoofed this game in Bundle of Trouble Vol 3, except there it was a WW1 game. It started with 20 guys and the game was still going on 4 years later with the last two players still going.
😂
I saw you were a channel that talked about crazy board games, and i was like: “Ok, but does he have a video on The Campaign for North Africa?” And you did. Good job!
To understand just how long 1500 hours is I will give you this example:
My total Warthunder playtime is 1600 hours
Waiting for Valefisk's video on it
I only know this from that one the big bang theory episode where sheldon tries to get everyone else to play with him
I think I'll stick to HOI
Wonder if a house of streamers could finish it. Have them stream while playing, I'm sure it could get people who would throw some money their way. Make it a big thing like "First time recorded ever finishing this board game," I'm sure would bring in a crowd that might stay for the novelty.
With roughly 1100 episodes at the time of this comment, one person could theoretically watch the entirety of one piece three times before ever finishing one game of The Campaign of North America.
Really you could probably run a real military campaign in north Africa quicker than you could play this absolute three-ring dumpster fire of a game.
Can’t wait for the Valefisk video to be the first documented case of completion
Can’t wait for valfisks play through he’s dropping
On a more recent news, still waiting for the vid, Valefisk.
@Valefisk when video comin?
Still waiting for the valefisk video of this
I legit thought you were going to say its bad to be Italy because there is a rule that Italy isn't allowed to win, because you know, they the bad guys.
lol I have this game (i think), found it some years ago, its not complete because I dont have any pieces. It is possible its a variant but the board looks similar
Can't wait for the Valefisk vid
What’s There to Learn from This?
CFNA Is a Beautiful work of Broken Art that doesn’t Work
Amazing Concept though
If You’re Interested in Actually having Fun with These Concepts:
Play HOI4 Black Ice
Or just Normal HOI4
A Streamlined Arcade Realism Game about Everything Here but Actually Capable of Being Fun for Average People
Valefisk moment
I am amazed this actually exists and wasn't a joke game for the Big Bang Theory.
I need a full length YouTube Let's Play of this game.
At the game club at the college one of my friends went to, there were some guys playing this game. They met once a week (since it was a club, they kinda had to), played it the entire club meeting, and met every single week the club did. They were playing it when my friend started college there and were still playing the same game of it when he graduated with his bachelors degree.
I know what I’m doing when I get to the nursing home…
Imagine thinking Italian is a race 😂
This is technically Hearts of Iron but board game version
I feel like hoi4 players would love this
I am willing to join a game of this
O now want One Page Rules to make their take on this.
No one has ever finished the game, so they made up the 1500 hour average
You know the interesting thing
This would actually make a good computer game, something that would simulate all the minor things under the hood but still allow the player to interact with them
This board game perfectly sums up the “Boys with autism meme” and I’m all for it
