Just called, Matt from customer service said that:

There is no process to provide additional pieces; and They are not aware of any issues with respect to insufficient pieces (when asked if this has come up before).

He told me to try to find people with multiple copies to get other pieces from.

Thanks for answering, Kreighund! These rules are a big departure from the other A&A games.

:-o

@oztea:

At this point in history fighters weren’t really ready to do any real damage to boats yet. Their speeds were very low and cross winds were very hazardous. Also planes of the time couldn’t carry very much in the way of firepower, so hurting a ship was outside their scope.

Yes, all good points.

All that Russia, France and Italy have to buy in the first 4 Rounds is Infantry.

They dont have to attack (except for Sewastopol -> Mesopotamia R1) they just need to hold the ground and reinforce contested tts.

That will give the UK enough time for their Balfour Declaration which will increase significant new forces (US) to tip the scale.

Austria has some tough decisions to make in the first Rounds. This will tell the story of the game.

British second
Germans third

land units and fighters. (p.23) So use  your transports economically. And do not forget the House of Sa’ud an s Somalia.

Greetings

I really enjoyed 1914…I really wish I had more time to play it.  To be fair…I wish I had more time for a lot of things :|

the size of tts represents the strength of its national army. Look how far the CPs went in the east compared to the western front.

For my own game (look in A&A variants) I am thinking about investing in Strategical Movement of units (cost 2 IPC per unit, max 5 IPC per turn-> 2 units per turn) maybe give Germany an advantage (1IPC per unit-> 5 units per turn)

Flash, you are talking about Railmovement in A&A for years, I would like to read your sophisticated rule for my own play. I guess the set up needs to be changed. And where is RM allowed? (Africa,Arabia?)

Afternoon Pantaloon rouge.
1. It does indeed, only take one turn. Unloading ends a unit’s turn, not loading.
2. India can build as many ground or air  units as you want, but no naval units.

Glad you are enjoying the game.

I used a private photographer
And with his vast resources I was able to enlarge it…
I also vowed not to reveal this talent so he won’t
Get sued for copy right infringement

Maybe try and cut this down to 12 techs. 3 per year. rolls of 1/2 3/4 5/6 for the techs. Or have the chart be

Get tech #1 Get tech #2 Get tech #3
4-6) Get any 1914 tech (your choice)

I don´t need a strategyguide for the Allies ,because they win all the times.

What I really need is some input for playing the Central Powers especially Austria and the Ottomans.

I envisioned calvary working like this.

Attack at a 2
Move at a 2
Defend at a 3 (If on a territory containing defending infantry)
Defend at a 2 otherwise.

Cavalry played a minor role during the entire war. (Lawrence of Arabia for example)

Cavalry would have one other feature. They alone would be able to leave a contested zone and attack an empty adjacent enemy controlled territory.

By turn 4 they would no longer allowed to be built.

I do agree the game is great as is.

I’m still waiting for someone to give a plausible historical example of a power building units at a captured capital/factory/industrial centre in WWII.

Even “liberated” capitals are dubious; the example of France in 1944/5 shows that it was more economical to outfit new French units with American equipment than put French factories back into production.

Ummm….

No…

When I use my rule changes the battles rage all over the map
Not one problem occurs…

Infact we had different territories change hands multiple times…

Russia actually stays in the war longer… (TURN 7)

The game moves much more efficiently. …

If you don’t try it…

Your missing out one one of the best war games
Ever written. .

Rulebook is a huge complaint for this game. What ever happened to unit descriptions?

USA is never a powerhouse. Maybe round 10.

UK is better off investing in India.

Taking out Russia is generally the way to go. If you do go for France. Get AH going to paris with its two closest starting stacks, go through the Italy units. Buy all fighters with Germany. G5 Paris. AH can take a territory for you to allow you to stack up next to paris with all your planes. Then you attack round 5 paris. Send AH in first to suicide. Germany follows it up. The end.

Yeah Russia is a pain in the butt for awhile, but you have to take out a country before round 6 or you lose.

USA is not even in this game, lalalalalala dont know what you guys are talking about. The piece of crap country does nothing for the first 6 rounds.

You can totally reach paris with only starting units and the planes coming in. You do need an AH stack to join you but this is not a problem.
