Plastic Soldier Company Launches Quartermaster General: 1914 On Kickstarter
September 22, 2016 by stvitusdancern
Plastic Soldier Company is ramping up the action again with a new Kickstarter for Quartermaster General: 1914.
With this being in the middle of the centennial anniversary of the First World War we are seeing more options for gaming in this era. Quartermaster General is a card driven Eurostyle strategy game that plays by the players deciding which cards to play to counter their opponents.
This game has a lot of resource management and you must be able to plan ahead to determine how to support your own armies and navies while denying your opponent the same opportunities to take territory and resupply their own forces. You must outlast your opponents in 17 rounds or totally dominate the battlefields of Europe.
This is not just a reskin of another game with a WWI theme, but the technology, military and social aspects of that time period are built into the gameplay to give you a realistic experience for that time. If you are a fan of solid strategy boardgames with a military theme, you definitely have to check this one out.
One other thing, this game is already in production and will have a quick turnaround time, you are helping them bring it to fruition and cover costs.
I will be backing this and looking forward to getting my hands on this. We got an opportunity to talk with the creator of Quartermaster General, Ian Brody at Gen Con this year and I kick myself for not picking up a copy of Quartermaster General.
Is this your kind of game?

Love the QMG series…
No minis to go with it? 😉
Well, not really my kind of game. Still, it’s good to see any WW1 release!!
Hope they reconsider the box art tho, no tanks or steel helmets in 1914..
looks like the good points of risk & total war.
I am curious as to why the USA is included in a wargame labelled “1914” opposed to the Canadians (if you had to feature the North American continent. ). Given the sacrifices made my the Canadian troops and the fact that the USA didn’t enter the war until 1917 and were strictly neutral until the time this doesn’t seem entirely appropriate.
This isn’t intended as an attack on the US (I have a few American mates and a quite few Canadian ones too) ….Just a statement of historical fact
I’m Canadian and I notice this so often that Canada’s contribution in the world wars though not as grand in scale as the USA is ignored outside of Canada and Netherlands. But I guess our forefathers did what they did out of honor and duty, not for the praise.
I’m proud of the people that served abroad to protect lands not of there own. We really do have a special place in our hearts for them.
Looks interesting.
Not too worried about the box art as although the game is called 1914 it meant to. Represent the whole of WW1
I presume the USA is their as are all the countries that had control of its own forces. Technically Canada,Australia, NZ,South Africa etc were in a British Empire force that was controlled from London.
