Originally announced as an extension of Leader 1, Leader 1: Hell of the North has since transformed into a standalone game, albeit one in which the components can be used in the original game from whence this one came.
Game play is similar to that in the original game: "Each of the teams includes different types of cyclists. Every cyclist enjoys the benefits of a free base movement which varies according to his specialty and according to the hexagon at the beginning of his movement. After this kind of movement every racer can add a paying movement. Therefore, the race is based on the riders' energy management: initially the riders are all inside the peloton, where it is easier to save energy, but then they will have to find the proper moment to break away to open the definitive gap ahead of the peloton."
"Hell of the North" is a slang term for a one-day bicycle race originally from Paris to Roubaix that includes many sections of cobbled roads, sections that often lead to damaged bikes, falls and unexpected race results. A mix of new terrain, including cobblestoned sections, is included in the game with forty new tracks on twenty hexagonal tiles. New miniatures are included that match the size of those in the original game, and the game includes "new rider characteristics", according to Ghenos' Alfredo Genovese, to go with the miniatures. While game play is similar to that of the original game, the rules have been revised and updated.
The peloton made up of 3 hexagons - with team service cars in the rear of the peloton.
Includes: team cars, tactical cards, bike tokens, more types of riders, weather dice, turn relay, early breakaway, elimination rule and more.
Team Cards for all the major teams, with 6 types of riders on each team: Sprinter, Classics sprinter, Rouleur, Baroudeur, Puncheur and Climber.
The cards have been made to work in conjunction with "The Peloton expansion pack".
Changes compared to earlier version: cobblestone ability for all 6 riders, minor - but decisive - re-arrangement of some free movements.
Milano-San Remo, E3 Harelbeke, Paris-Roubaix, Liege-Bastogne-Liege, Vattenfall Cyclassics, GP de Québec etc.
The tiles from the Hell of the North edition, as well as either the Leader 1 or Giro d'Italia editions, are needed to create the races.
Also included in the file: new Arenberg hexagons and cobblestone hill hexagons.
I've created a stage race containing 5 different stages.
I've tried to put in enough difference so the 3 riders can all find the terrain they like. There is a flat stage, cobble stage, mointain stage and the 2 final stage's both have one climb.
The tracks have not yet been tested, but i've decided to post them so that if you want you can help test the tracks to see if they work.
I've also added a ranking sheet where you can enter the stage ranking, general ranking and also green jersey and mountain jersey.
The stage ranking has also fields to enter the energy and pursuits left, so you can play the tour over several days.
For green and mountain jersey i've added some calculating tables so you can really create a real stage race.
I'd appreciate your commands and tips if...
