@SuperbattleshipYamato I’m not surprised. G42 does favor the Allies. But the Axis still have a decent chance at least Japan.
1914 out-of-box rules, SuperbattleshipYamato (Central Powers) vs FranceNeesMorePower (Allies)

I just remembered that when you do amphibious assualts on territories with artillery, the artillery gets a pre-emptive strike.
With that in mind, we’ll roll for the German artillery that should’ve fired on France’s turn 6.
[dice 1d6]

1d6: 6
-
The German artillery missed and nothing changed.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato Whoa what’s that!? Also, I don’t know what you are talking about I did no assault from sea.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato Alright I gotta go see you tomorrow.

Ottoman Empire Turn 8 Complete Game 35.tsvg
I finished caluclating the dice swings for land and air battles. When this game’s over, I’ll send you a Word document containing all of my notes on this subject so you can calculate these numbers for yourself.
So far, the numbers are:
Central Powers land total: +6.56 swing
Allies land total: -6.56 swingSo the Allies have 6.5 fewer units than they would on average. When you consider the hundreds of land units that get created and destroyed, this is close to nothing though. It’s certainly not enough to erase the huge imbalance this game provides in favor of the Allies.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato Man, What I would do to have 6-7 more land units in France right now.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato It’s a phase people say you may or may not understand it.

Germany Turn 9 Complete Game 35.tsvg
While the dice did pretty badly in Burgundy for you, you got great numbers in Constantinople.
This turn narrowed the the luck gap signficantly (the Central Powers also got bad luck in round 8):
Central Powers land total: +2.23 swing
Allies land total: -2.23 swingAbout that edit in Picardy:
Tanks only have 2 hit points when attacking. When defending, they only have 1 hit point. I should’ve edited the tanks to be damaged before battle. Oh well. We should both make sure to remember to do the same in the future.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato Man you’re making it hard to keep France. FranceIsNotPowerfulRightNow.tsvg
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato I would have rather had better numbers in France Constinaple cna have bad dice because I have overwhelming troops numbers there.

You couldn’t withdraw the British units into Paris.
Per page 15 of the new, updated rulebook (the one issues with the Renegade 1914 reprint/rerelease)
“Land units that begin your turn in contested territories can only be move to territories that at the beginning of your turn were either controlled by your power or contained units bellonging to your power”.
There were no British units in Paris, so they had to stay in Burgundy. I’ve edited the game accordingly.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato In that case I will back out the French Guy. I will edit that French Dude. If I see anything else I will also change my moves. Sorry about that I know I knew that rule I just have not played 1914 for a while.

@SuperbattleshipYamato Could My Troops In France Get to that Italy Territory? I assume know but Wanted to know. Question.tsvg
-
Yeah, 1914 has a lot of hidden mechanics. I’ll elaborate more on that at the end of the game.
-
-
Oh, but if you were using a transport for the Italian troops (you did, because I saw a battleship bombardment in Piedmont) you would’ve had to roll for pre-emptive strikes by Austria-Hungary.
You can either roll for them now, or redo the battle entirely.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato Oops I forgot I will let you roll for the Italy one then now including the America battle then I will start the main battle.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato You know what just to make things easier just to the Italy one I will have my American troops go else where.
