Does anyone know who holds the rights to Age of Rifles?

Post by gfanikf »

It's one of few older wargames I haven't seen on GOG (ie just the game and expansion) or being republished/updated (say TOAW III/IV). Now I know it was originally published by SSI (as was the expansion scenarios), but ever since it went out of print, nothing, and I have no clue who the rights are with now. I just think even beyond the big Civil War and other battles the game covers, is just how much it shines in smaller or obscure conflicts from the time period, and the community was just so immensely creative and created some amazing Scenarios. I was hoping somewhere here might know who the rights are with?

I'd love for someone to republish the game too. <hint hint Slitherine ;)>

Maybe the Field of Glory II game engine could be used for that ?

Oh the memories! :o AoR was a great game at it´s time. First game ever I played ACW, Prussian-French and Colonial Wars.

The one single game that comes close to AoR (and and surpasses it IMO) is the Kaiser General Efile for Open General.

I was actually disappointed when I first found those games that they didn't encompass that time period.

WOW, Age of Rifles - here is a title I have not heard of for a loooong time. As much as it is not my favorite period I absolutely loved the game!
