- 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…

- 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…
