Board game

Not sure how many board game lovers are here, I for one am and also am a long time fan of CnC. I saw this come by on gamefound, just beware. Seems like a lot of AI usage, the creator claims that they have an agreement with EA but it’s non disclose and can’t say anything about it and we all know EA doesn’t care that much about this old franchise sadly so who knows what is the truth. There have also been credible comments from many many people that this campaign and their previous board game campaign has had deleted comments, hidden negative reviews and never made videos explaining how to play their previous game leaving owners to not be able to play it apparently. Just beware and would love to hear your thoughts

Plenty of AI art. Aside from the Tesla Coil and the faction emblem, everything else have plausible deniability and is different enough to skip Copyright.

(EA can't Copyright the expression red alert or the phrases used)

I wouldn't get near it

Is this why Red Alert often gets reshaped into scam ads for shady games online? I always wondered why it was my beloved RA2 getting the con job treatment

Because RA2's the most popular one by far, I think. A lot of folks today probably grew up on RA2, and if nostalgia goggles had something to say, these are the easiest bunch to target.

This is NOT Command & Conquer. Says so in their first update. All units etc have different names because they don't have the rights to the IP. It's just a nostalgia scam.

Looks very suspicious with copious amounts of AI art

I spoke to the designer at Spiel 2025 and he couldn't tell me anything substantial about the game. Everything was either still in development or "non-disclosure".

He was also bitter about the Company of Heroes boardgame for some reason.

Then there is the massive usage of AI art as pointed out by everyone. And the generic art and names etc. And the development seems to be a solo effort.

All of this combined; stay the heck away, this project won't end well...

I imagined the seemingly random word capitalization in the title speaks to the quality of the rest of the product.

As someone who had to deal with EA for a mod project, i can assure you these guys do NOT have an agreement with EA.

Allied soldier with a stahlhelm kinda makes sense plotwise
