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).
What about Falklands and St. Helena?
-
Why don’t they came up?, they are interesting strategic locations and also the Faroe islands, why didn’t they included them in the game?
-
Can’t have every detail of the war, or it would take 6-10 years to play.

Greenland and Iceland are also ‘interesting strategic locations’ but they are hardly mentioned on any posts.

C’mon don’t you think it would be interesting ?
-
What purpose would the Falkland islands serve at all? Nobody really used Malta until it got an airbase and a fighter, and that’s in a strategically important location.
-
The Falklands are on the tip of South America. Tell me how many times have you had a ship even off that coast? It’s just not needed. Now places like the Aleutans (can’t spell that) were included cause they were actually involved in the war and have a purpose (US NO).
-
Why not make Argentina Pro Axis?
Now that would have been Cool.
Oh wait you’re right, it’s way the hell out in the middle of nowhere. That’s why it doesn’t get any good representation.
-
Falklands no but what about Faroe islands?
-
See I don’t even know where that is. Off to wiki!

-
Yeah I saw it. And it would do the exact same thing as Iceland. I would say nothing but Iceland does have an airbase.

This discussion is pointless since I want reality and you want simplicity to the game
-
No I don’t want simplicity. I mean I think that making stalingrad only one territory is criminal! I mean it’s stupid that nobody invades sicily before S. Italy. I mean thats what really happened right? A rule to where you can only invade Italy before taking Sicily would be reality. But the Falklands and Faroe did NOTHING during the war except exist there. It’s like making French Indochina two territories. Kool but not needed (oh yeah I’d love that for a Cold War variant).

The Falklands provided support to Henry Harwood’s forces at the time of the Battle of the River Plate. The cruiser Cumberland sailed from there to join Harwood, while the cruiser Exeter (which was with Harwood during the fight with the Graf Spee) sailed there for repairs after the action.

I understand that, but without does islands the map looks, at leats for me unrealistic
-
Well those islands are small. And had little to do with the war. For me I don’t really care but to each his own I suppose.
-
I would like to see both Gilligan’s Island and Atlantis on the map as well.
Remember that episode where they found a japanese soldier on the Island and Gilligan had to rescue them? This island had alot of old grenades and weapons left over. It might even be a new VC

My apologizes for our resident mod. He’s…… artsy.
