I think a good idea for 1914 would be to require at least 1 infantry to be stationed in every territory by the end of a power’s turn (the infantry must be from the power controlling. If they don’t, they won’t get the IPCs from this territory. Not only does it potentially make the game more historically accurate (to symbolize the need to keep civilian populations under control during wartime), but it probably also makes the game more balanced, as the Allies will probably be more burdened with this (since they have substantially larger colonial possessions).

reminded me of a unit type not previously seen in A&A.
I’ve often considered Cossack cavalry for both sides on the Eastern Front, but the new mech inf seem to have taken their potential niche (i.e. a low cost move 2 unit).
