How much of this game do you think is copyrighted or exactly what is copyrighted I should say ?
You can't copyright historical units or scale therefore the miniature sculpts are obviously fair game but as far as mechanics go cardlayout , special abilities , unit stats ,terminology , rules etc how much of that is protected?
HBG does basically axis and allies games that aren't officially axis and allies , 1936, 1939, operation barbarossa etc. That you use the same sculpts , mechanics etc for. It makes me curious how similar one could make a WAS game to continue the line or be a successor without crossing the line, something with miniatures , maps, cards, tokens etc as opposed to just cards.
The forum decks are basically successors but is that allowed because a profit isn't happening or because the card layout is different?
