Thank you so much!
Turn order and the Western Front

I’m sure it will involve some sort of dice rolling, this is A&A of course.

In particular - combine convoying with armaments/supply rules.
Another way of representing convoys would be if there was an Industrial Resource unit/token that spawned in territories in the collection phase according to the tt IPC value. And so to use the Industrial Resource unit in the production face it actually had to be transported to the Industrial Complex where it was to be spent. They could be transported by transports, rail, or could move one space by land on there own. Players would have to build transports to collect income from there far reaching empires, these convoys would be vulnerable to attack so escorts would have to be built as well. Also players could transport Industrial Resources to there allies Industrial Complexes for use there. I think this idea is better than ammo supply chains since the supply chain from the factories to the front is already well represent by the combat unit production and movement, what isnt well represented is how the resources are moved from there place of origin to Industrial Complexes
While this rule is pretty simple it would make each players turn a little longer(particularly Britain) as they would have to manage their resource movement. Of course it could also create new strategic possibilities.

So was A&A Revised lol. :-D

Doesn’t matter what the turn order is, you still get 4 western allies playing between every German turn.
Stacking limits are most unlikely, otherwise why does the game come with 36 identical d6?

so you’re telling me the stack limit is 36?

I’m telling you the game comes with 36 d6 - therefore no stacking limit.

I know I was being a smart ass

I’m coming down in favour of a 4 player game. Since the four principal nations: were
Germany
Russia
Austria
France
They would be the starting element for each player, in turn order.
With other nations joining in, we should end up with:
Germany, [Bolsheviks]
Russia, (Serbia)
Austria, Turkey, (Bulgaria)
France, UK, Italy, USA, (Belgium), (Portugal), (Greece), (Romania), (Arabia)
All nations within each group moving and fighting together.
One possibility is that, at a certain stage, Allies can be placed under an overall command and after that they all play together.
