Oregon ConSim Games is proud to announce the production of its
in-house Journal, 1914: Dispatches. The Journals purpose is to
support the WWI historical simulation game 1914: Twilight in the East
(GMT, October 2007) and future projects that will employ the same or
similar game system. The Journal will fulfill three objectives: expand
upon the historical topics covered by the games, provide new scenarios
for the games, and supply players with notes and information about the
game system.

Volume 1 of 1914: Dispatches achieves these goals by elaborating on
the historical topic chosen for 1914: Twilight in the East, the
Eastern Front during 1914. The topic is so far ranging that it cannot
be exhaustively covered in one effort, and is so interesting that it
deserves additional treatment. Each main article within the journal
will be accompanied by a historical scenario or a hypothetical
scenario based upon reasonable assumptions supported by historical
data. Also included in the premier edition are Players Notes written
by prominent play-testers and a Game System Analysis written by the
games designer.

The Journals premier will focus on four new scenarios: two
historical and two hypothetical. The two historical scenarios, The
Battle of Ivangorod and The Lodz Campaign round out 1914: Twilight
in the Easts scenario selection. The two hypothetical scenarios, The
Austro-Hungarian Deployment Plan as of Winter 1913/14 and Oberst
Dragonis Austro-Hungarian Deployment and Operational Plan for Victory
in 1914, are intended to allow players to see what if within a
plausible setting.
