I'm very surprised to not see Imperial borders by Larry Harris on your list. I would have thought for sure you would be looking forward to it since you're an axis and allies player. Did you not back the kickstarter? It's very high on my 2025 list.
Yeah, that was a mistake. It should have been on the list but I forgot about it. I did not back, as I'm hoping to get a review copy for the channel. Thanks.
For those wondering like I was, the game he mentions @ 12:something is Courtier and the movie he mentions at 13:something is Bonhoeffer. I couldn't find them at first as I was spelling them wrong.
Hi, Cody. Personally I am not into historical wargames, but I'm glad your channel covers those games for that portion of the board game/wargame community. It's great how diverse the hobby is :)
I don't have a lot of games I am excited for that are coming in 2025. But here my list: - Cyclades Legendary Edition - Vestige - Guards of Atlantis II new heroes packs I am also quite curious about the Baldur's Gate city builder. I'll be checking that out when it comes out.
I've been waiting for my P500 shipments of "Coast Watchers" and "Twilight Struggle: South Asian Monsoon" for a while now. Hopefully they both show up in 2025 😂
great suggestions. Some go straight onto my list. VPG are legendary, the smell of those laser cut tiles.. Imperial Stars II is awesome. With the Expansion it becomes a tiny 4x that you can finish in 90 min. I hope the new release comes with the expansion.
It was mind boggling to men when I found out Chris Taylor made IS2. The same Chris Taylor that made Nemo's War and those unknown, obscure PC games Fallout 1+2 😄
If I recall, Zhang He burned his ships once he decided China was the most advanced society in existence. This was during a time of Chinese hegemony before Europe.
Thanks for the heads up on the Black Orchestra expansion
You're welcome.
An expansion for Black Orchestra and a lighter version of the same game? SOLD!!!
Yeah. Looks really good. Thanks.
We have so many overlapping games that we have pre-ordered! Here's to a great 2025!
Indeed! It's gonna be great!

Took me he entire video to get the opening joke. LOL..good one!!
Glad you liked it.
I saw Microverse at SD Hist Con and this might be their biggest hit since Twilight Struggle.
@@kevinbertram4828 Excited for it!

@@pronumeral1446 Couldn’t agree more. I like all kinds of games, and there are a lot of gamers out there like me. Thanks!
Wow. 2025 is going to be an amazing year!
It will indeed. Can't wait to see what else you've got coming for us.

@@Exozik They look good. Thanks!
Away Team is John Butterfield. Only one of the best known wargame designers of the last 50 years.
@@darrellhanning5068 Yeah. Had his name in my notes, slip of the tongue.
Big fire in Boston...😄
Glad you liked it.
So glad you’re excited about Microverse! Not sure whether it will come out in 2025… My other game Firefight Tactical likely will though!
@@DeathByBoardGames Hope we see it before too long. It looks awesome. Is Firefight Tactical from GMT?
@@TheDiscriminatingGamerYes. It’s a tactical game without maps. Takes pages from Up Front and Combat Commander and wraps it in a dice drafting game.
@ Sound like fun! I look forward to it.
Thanks for turning me onto the upcoming GMT sci fi games!
You are welcome.

Haha I knew you’re #1 would be on the list. I can’t wait until the pledges ship. I’ve been enjoying the Gotham City Outbreak in the meantime.
@@TheCamBeard Yeah. Really looking forward to this one!
Isn't Space Empires 4X coming out with an expansion next year?
@@rhlm95 Is it?
I got a chance to play First Monday In October and Microverse and they are really great.
@@wolfdog They both look awesome!
Next year is looking good! Thanks Cody!
@@GamemastersHobby It is indeed! Thank you!
I'm stoked for Molly House. Also hoping this is the year Queen's Dilemma arrives.
@@blueseqperl I haven’t heard of the Queen’s Dilemma.
@TheDiscriminatingGamer it is from the company that did King's Dilemma
It was very cool to meet the designer of First Monday in October
@@blueseqperl I’ll bet. Looks like a great game.

@@ryananthony110 Indeed.
My top two games I’m looking forward to in 2025 are Nemesis Retaliation and series 3 of Final Girl. 😃
@@crowe4646 Both look good.
An interesting list. I am also waiting for DCeased... That present joke 🤣🤣🤣
@@pauls3585 Glad you liked it - the video and the joke.
My most anticipated is probably Company of Heroes 2nd Edition Kickstarter hopefully arriving Q1 2025
Yeah - I've got that coming in as well.
If i had to pick one i would pick microverse. And if i didn't owned black orchestra then i would pick Valkyrie
Thanks!
Away Team #1
@@Kili121416 Looks good!
No Imperial Borders??? CODY!
@@C-ManFromGer Yeah. Dropped the ball on that one.
Larry Harris’s Imperial Borders
@@wartable Forgot about that one. Looks amazing!!!
WHAAAT!? No Imperial Borders Congress of Vienna?
@@MoragTong_ Yeah - forgot that one (slaps head).
Bit of an unexciting list, actually. No Mordred or Nemesis Retaliation?:)
I guess it depends on your perspective. I'm pretty excited for these titles.
I have mixed feelings towards card-driven games. Too much reliance on luck sucks.
Remember, Clausewitz tells us that "war is the realm of chance."
