Face-to-Face tournament rules

1917 scenario?

Then you can forget RR and American entry rules.

America starts at war, but with a small army all still at home.

Also we are trying to find a way to get US into the game sooner.  This might help combat the longer game

Greg, consider using the +1 to Naval Movement when begining the turn in a sea zone with a friendly naval base (ala 1940). This gets the Americans to France on turn 4 instead of turn 5.

That is one of the rules changes so, all naval units will be moving at 3 and cruisers 4…

I like this rule that just lets America in the war, but then, there are others that are fighting it…

Heck, I propose that America should be able to land in Europe on Friendly territory and then force the Germans to attack them…

Stand by for an important post from Larry:

So if Im reading the rules right, you only have to unlock the last achievement during the tournament?

Some of the more experienced players do a France first strategy instead of the standard Russia first one. It is anybody’s game after France goes… I have no idea how you sort out who wins that one.

So, 4 years later, I’m still “standing by” for Larry’s important post. Is he planning on releasing a complete set of official WW1 tournament rules? Are they posted somewhere?

Hey guys,

Did anyone play in the Tournament at Gen Con last year?

Keen for feedback on the tournament rules?

How many rounds on average a game lasted?

What was the average bid and who did the bid go to?

Looking at purchasing this version but doing my home work first so any information will be quite helpful as my play group is time poor and games with set time limits work in nicely.

Thanks heaps!
