1914: Dispatches, the Oregon ConSim Journal is the support magazine for the historical simulations designed and produced by Oregon ConSim Games. The debut issue of the Journal focuses on the Eastern Front during 1914 by expanding on the WWI simulation game 1914: Twilight in the East.

Battle for Galicia, 1914
Oregon ConSim Games announces the publication of its first DTP offering titled Battle for Galicia, 1914. Designed by Michael Resch, Battle for Galicia, 1914 is a low complexity, easy to learn operational game simulating Austria-Hungary’s initial battles against Imperial Russia in WW1. The design-objective was to create an exciting introduction to this fascinating campaign while neatly filling the vacant niche between overly simplistic games offered in the past and the historically accurate but admittedly intense model represented by 1914: Twilight in the East (GMT Project 500).
BfG will retail for $18, but for a limited time BfG can be pre-ordered directly from Oregon ConSim Games for $12.- (shipping included). This pre-order offer will cease mid-December 2006 and shipping is planned to begin December 15th.

Oregon ConSim Games Mission Statement
Our mission is to produce enjoyable board games by accurately modeling exciting events from military history. Our focus is on placing players in the same command positions that their historical counterparts were in, facing the same options, dilemmas, and unknowns as the historical leaders did. Oregon ConSim Games strives for the highest standard of historical accuracy. Our games are thoroughly and painstakingly researched from a wide range of international (re)sources.
Oregon ConSim Games recognizes that simplistic abstractions make poor historical models, while overly complex simulations tend to be difficult to enjoy. We believe it is possible to design games that are both historically accurate and fun, that it is possible to create a deeply absorbing game that affords players a uniquely compelling perspective on significant events in military history.
