- Major update SGS Fall Weiss - September 1, 2025 - 1 September 2025
Dear strategists, September 1, 2025 marks the 86th anniversary of Germany's invasion of Poland, the event that sparked off the Second World War. As SGS Fall Weiss, released in September 2023, celebrates its second anniversary, we are proud to unveil a major update that significantly enriches this strategic and historical experience. Whether you're a veteran of the game or a new player, immerse yourself in this iconic campaign.

- FALL WEISS INTERMEDIATE UPDATE - 26 August 2024
Hello everyone! Work on the huge NATO update has been put on hold this week in order to correct a blocking bug. It wasn't happening in every game. However, the complexity of the early-game mechanics sometimes caused the engine to get confused and no longer manage the different phases of the game. UPDATE The search for this bug, its resolution and the tests were the occasion to devote the last five days to a refresh of the game which includes : - Work on the bug mentioned ; - AI improvements, particularly on the Axis side; the Luftwaffe was not attacking aggressively enough, but this has now been corrected ; - AI improvements for the general behavior of the different camps; - Corrections to the increase or decrease in Axis victory points, including a change in the automatic victory level for the Axis (to 300) and for Poland (to 200), making it significantly less likely that either side w…

- Future SGS Taipings developments - 5 June 2024
Some important news for you Loyalty This Summer SGS Taipings will receive a major update, with the most important Loyalty system (which already works in SGS We The People) part of its design. The loyalty system is a major change in gameplay, as you no longer just go through a region and take it for you: if the region is loyal to the other side, you need to maintain military presence over time to "rule" it, otherwise it will return to its original owner. Disloyal regions will allow your opponent to build units, so you cannot leave them unguarded. Also, retreat in regions loyal to you will be allowed, even if just captured by the enemy. Loyalty will also affect income (a region 50% loyal to you will bring only half income), and fog of war: you can see all details of enemy forces in regions that are stringly loyal to you... This will come with two dozens of extra cards, and many more event…

- October Major Update - 16 October 2023
In parallel with work on SGS Huê 1968 in the Battles series and research and preparation work on the future SGS monster game in the "Modern Warfare" series, dedicated to the Iran-Iraq war (including the possibility of Soviet invasion and American intervention) and the first Gulf war (1990-1991), various improvements, additions and fixes have been made to SGS Fall Weiss by its designer (who is also the designer of SGS NATO's Nightmare). Work has begun on a new small scenario (the Battle of Tuchola), but this will only be included at a later date (due to lack of time for proper testing). Changes in this update are as follows: Added content : all German armored divisions now benefit from the same mechanism as Polish infantry divisions. In other words, a division that has been destroyed in principle has a good chance of being reintroduced into the game (counters with altered capabilities) i…
- Release of SGS Spain at War delayed - 12 October 2023
The game has been developed in Beta status with all of the content present to play the first 6 months of the war. We are now tackling the development of the second phase of the conflict, covering the more intense and larger scale part of the war, after 1937. This requires extra units, events and cards, and more testing. However, the game designer, Miguel Santacruz, has to follow some IRL commitments and the time he can dedicate to the game has been reduced considerably. So he feels more comfortable to ask for a postponement of the release, and we agreed to delay the game till summer 2024. We know that many of you have ordered the game already, and you can currently play it (for the 1936 to early 1937 period) and we shall gladly await and include your comments. We kindly ask you for a little bit more of patience in order to complete the game as it should, a fully detailed rendering of th…

- September Update - 11 September 2023
Your feedback has been taken into account, and we've improved certain aspects (the victory point issue), made some balancing adjustments and, of course, fixed the inevitable bugs! This update was intended to include an alternative deployment mechanism for Polish forces, as a content addition. However, tests carried out over the weekend revealed that the mechanism was working unsatisfactorily. This option will therefore be included in the next update. Nonetheless, this update is copious (in addition to what is mentioned above): New units, including an option, when playing the alternate history game, which gives the Polish player five infantry divisions and a cavalry division of Ukrainian volunteers; in the 1930s, vague plans for this were sketched out by the Polish authorities; the option considers that these plans have been realized. In an alternative history game, the Polish player can…
