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).

That is something I really liked about the old gameboard from Classic A&A. Along the edges of the board they had these little blow-up boxes for certain territories on the map. So, if the map was getting a little too cluttered, you could stick some of your units in the blow-up boxes. I would usually put the ICs, AAguns and Air units in the blow up boxes and the ground forces on the map.

I suppose it’s like Chess…
Does the queen or knight REALLY represent how a horse, or Maiden works? NO. And the tactical representation is moot.
But the piece remains!

Good point, Garg
