Going boldly into the future – and the past

Hello Everyone!


We hope you’re doing well and enjoying a tense game of Freedom! from time to time. If you like writing, share your AARs (after-action reports) on BoardGameGeek or Facebook, we love reading them and seeing all the new strategies you’re devising regarding the Third Siege of Messolonghi!


Pre-orders are still on

The game is still available for preorder – and not just in English, but also in German, French, Spanish, Polish and of course Greek. However, to reach the printing stage, each language version of the game requires at least 200 pre-orders.

The numbers for Greek and English versions are looking very promising and the Polish edition is nearly there, but we’re still counting on you to spread the word about the preorder on forums, groups, threads and social media that you know, so that people we don't reach directly can find out about it. This may be the only way to finance non-English language editions of Freedom!

Join the fight & support Coalitions

Freedom! depicts an important part in the history of the struggle between the Greeks and the Ottomans. But the entire Greek War of Independence could’ve been much different if not for the outcome of the Napoleonic Wars which ended just a few short years earlier. As it happens we have a game in the pipeline that deals with these epic wars – Coalitions, and it’s in its second week of Kickstarter campaign!

This area control game of negotiation and conflict has already been funded, but we’re far from showing our backers all we’ve got prepared. If you pledge now, you’ll not only receive a large expansion (more of a game of its own really!) and KS exclusive miniatures, but also a number of daily bonuses, all completely free! And if you buy the Deluxe Pledge, with miniatures instead of meeples, you’ll get a free Fortresses Miniature Set. Now that’s a bargain!


Join!

That’s Not All We’ve Got

We’ve opened several new Make Games Happen preorders these past few weeks. What’s that? It’s basically the same type of preorder as with Freedom!, but this time we’re talking about completely new games, not reprints.

Pursuit of Victory (a Napoleonic wargame for two players), 1920 (hex and counter wargame covering the Polish-Soviet War) and Iron, Blood, Snow & Mud (a 60-minute simulation of WWII Eastern Front). If you’re interested in any or even all of them, visit our store and register your vote to show us you’d like to help us Make These Games Happen!

Stay safe!

Second printing & new language versions
about 3 years ago – Thu, Mar 04, 2021 at 06:19:14 AM

Hello Everyone!


I hope you have managed to get to know our game very well, and maybe even achieve mastery of it? Share your achievements on social media and BGG! We closely follow all feedback, observations and impressions.

We would like to inform you that we are in the process of preparing a second printing of the game and five new language editions.

Pre-orders for the English version, as well as the German, French, Polish, Spanish and... Greek versions have just been launched. The game tells the story of one of the most important events in the modern history of Greece, so we really want it to appear in the native language of the author and the players who are particularly close to these events.

The pre-orders: https://phalanx.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

If you liked our game and would like to recommend it to your friends, this is probably the best time. An advance print run disappeared from shop shelves at an alarming rate and many people asked us afterwards where and when the game would be available.

Did you manage to play the game well? Are you interested in the Greek War of Independence? Excelente! Then the quiz we have prepared should appeal to you! Especially since it's about the game (and the topic) and, more importantly, you can win €100 to spend in our shop.

Have fun!

HOW PREORDER WORKS?   

Step 1 – Collecting preorders – Whether or not the game will be published depends entirely on you. We are going to carry on with the next development stage if and only if we receive at least 200 preorders. (for each language). 

Step 2 – Final development – After collecting 200 preorders, we are going to begin Development – the stage of finalizing graphic design is going to last 30 days. This is the time during which we are planning to receive preorders and offer Freedom! in such an affordable price. You will be able to preorder the game at a bargain price until Game development ends and before the Credit cards charge commences.  

Step 3 – Credit cards charge – As soon as we announce that all the game files have been approved and the game itself is ready to print with the date of actual printing confirmed, only then do we charge your credit cards to fund the game production. We are going to release an official date of collecting money in advance.  

Step 4– Game production – The whole production of the game is going to take us 60 days.  

Step 5– Logistics – The next step is logistics. Shipment and delivery to all our supporters who preordered the game and have been successfully charged is planned to end in no more than 15 days after the development step will have finished.


Stay warm and enjoy gaming!

Our New Campaign
almost 4 years ago – Thu, Jun 25, 2020 at 05:08:18 PM

Hello Everyone!

There have been several months since sending Freedom! to backers and the retail launch, and we hope everyone has already managed to play the game. We would like you to record your impressions about the game, and if you haven't managed to play it yet, maybe RPG.net review will encourage you.

If you have any questions or box deficiencies, please send an email to [email protected]. We will definitely help.

Domination - our new campaign

We would also like to let you know that we have launched a new campaign. This time it is not a two-player only game, but a logic weuro game designed for two to four players, which approaches team play in an interesting way (2 vs 2, 2 vs 1, 1 vs 1) and allows you to play the entire World War II in 90 minutes! Simple rules, but big suspense and pleasure.

If you are interested, take a look at the campaign page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/phalanxgames/domination?ref=9m8gua

Stay safe!

Production Complete!
over 4 years ago – Tue, Nov 19, 2019 at 09:49:37 PM

Hello Everyone,

Freedom! has been printed successfully. We have just received the first mass-produced copy for approval. The game looks great!

And here is a short unboxing video for both game and expansion:

This week we are going to pick up the games from the factory and move them to our shipping partner’s warehouse. The games will be assembled and shipped out in the first half of December. Hopefully they will arrive at your homes before the end of the year. You will receive tracking links via email when we ship out the games. They will be delivered by FedEx air freight courier.

For any questions please contact us at customercare[at]phalanxgames.co.uk

Thank you and happy gaming!

Michał & PHALANX Team

PS. We have just started a new campaign, which is very important to us, as the game is our in-house design. This is a hybrid game, a cross of euro and war game worlds. Please click on the image below and check out 1941. Race to Moscow!

Printing time!
over 4 years ago – Fri, Sep 27, 2019 at 02:51:52 AM

Hello Everyone,

In the previous weeks we have been preparing the game files to be printed. Final correction of texts and layouts were done, and now all the game files are ready to be sent to the printing house. Please check out the size of all printing sheets that make up a single game and solo mode add-on, and you will know why this takes so much time! 

On the photo above you can also see Dagmara, our Logistic Manager, who is now preparing the shipping solution for Freedom! The estimated printing and assembly time is 6-8 weeks (it is the peak of production season now), so we will be able to pick up the games from the printing house in the second half of November. We are very sorry for this delay, but we really wanted to triple-check everything, to provide you a product that will meet your expectations. Nevertheless, we plan to ship you the games using airfreight option, to deliver you them before the end of the year, no matter where you live. 

So, please keep your fingers crossed for a fast and untroubled production. We will keep you updated about the shipping dates.

The Next Project

With the Successors campaign being over, we can announce our next project, perfect for the incoming winter season:

Click here to visit the campaign preview page!

In 1941: Race to Moscow, which by some is considered to be war-themed pick up and delivery and by others a very simple but not simplistic approach to large scale military logistics, the players take the roles of chiefs of staff (or quartermasters) of three massive Army Groups, formed together from close to 200 divisions, which aim at the centers of Soviet Union - Moscow, Leningrad and Rostov. The campaign itself was planned to be swift and daring, with a goal to reach the objectives before the winter comes...

Thank you and happy gaming!
