Anno Domini: 1666 Interview
May 15, 2018 by dignity
We're talking with Konrad and Karl from Wargamer Games Studio about their upcoming game Anno Domini: 1666 which has just opened for funding on Kickstarter today!
Anno Domini: 1666 is a tactical miniatures game which takes place in a world of political intrigue, sword-play, magic, fantastical creatures...
...and several competing factions all vying for power in 17th century Vienna.
Are you as excited for musketeers as I am?

Wow, I was not expecting to like the concept of this when I clicked the link. But this looks right up my alley.
So who at BoW is which Musketeer? @dracs = D’Artangian, Warren = Porthos? So who’s Argos and who’s Aramis?

Also I know Mephistopheles is a fictional character from the time, but that concept art of him makes me think of the version of him in the anime Blue Exorsist, Mephisto. 😉

Side note but for historical context here’s what was happening over in Britain during 1666:
1 February – royal court returns to London as the Great Plague of London subsides.
1–4 June (11–14 June New Style) – Second Anglo-Dutch War : Four Days’ Battle: The Dutch Republic fleet under Michiel de Ruyter defeats the English in the North Sea in one of the longest naval engagements in history.
25 July (4 August New Style) – Second Anglo-Dutch War : St. James’s Day Battle: The English fleet under Prince Rupert of the Rhine and George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle, defeats the Dutch off the North Foreland.
9–10 August (19–20 August New Style) – ‘Holmes’s Bonfire’: Rear Admiral Robert Holmes leads an English raid on the Dutch island of Terschelling, destroying 150 merchant ships in the Vlie estuary, and pillaging the town of West-Terschelling.
2–5 September – Great Fire of London: A large fire breaks out in the City of London in the house of a baker on Pudding Lane near London Bridge. The fire destroys more than 13,000 buildings including Old St Paul’s Cathedral but only 6 people are known to have died.
6 September – Cestui que Vie Act passed by Parliament to provide for disposal of the property of missing persons.

Isaac Newton uses a prism to split sunlight (Deus phos) into the component colours of the optical spectrum, assisting understanding of the scientific nature of light. He also develops differential calculus. His discoveries this year lead to it being referred to as his Annus mirabilis or Newton’s Year of the Morning Star.

It’s a great concept. I’d love to see a demo.
Looks very cool. I like dice in skirmish games, although I’m open to alternative mechanics… However the miniatures look fantastic and the setting sounds really interesting.
Looks cheeky!
Nice minis. The draft KS page they had up makes this a no go for me. Base game, ‘free’ miniature if you pledge in first 24 hours, and a series of expansions you have to pay extra for rather than being unlocked. So the base game is really an incomplete bait to get you in as they know you’ll pledge for all the expansions at $30 a go out of FOMO.
I dislike this kind of KS.
I like the look of this. I’ve not really played a game where they’ve completely lost the dice in favour of cards. I’m very intrigued, already backed now as I think its worth it just for the minis. I’m sure the game will be awesome, any chance of a future lets play?
I have jumped-in on this; it looks very promising.
A really impressive and tempting product. ticks a lot of boxes for me this one.
beautifully presented with real and proper miniatures that are aimed at the miniatures wargamer.
the game boards are right up my street , a larger grid with plenty of scope for movement and maneuvers. too many games these days have too small a grid for me. i know they do so to keep the game from slowing down but i’m happy to see the game slow a little for a little extra scope.
some really nice touches in there as well like the period card deck.
my only real negative is i’d like to see more, hopefully if they’re successful we’ll get to see the game expand.
The campaign already unlocked some amazing miniatures as well as additional cards and scenarios: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1263001724/anno-domini-1666/description
