More hot chicks on the box cover.
More hot chicks on the box cover.
A meritorious suggestion, though I’m puzzled by the “more” part because (if I recall correctly), no chicks – hot or otherwise – have ever appeared on any A&A box covers. Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg and wife of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, had a good shot at showing up on the cover art of the 1914 game, but the poor lady got snipped from the artwork’s adaptation of the famous photo I’ve copied below. And in any case, at age 46 she was hardly a babe when this picture was taken.

Oh, I don’t know… she looks quite fit to me! :wink:
Seriously though, I haven’t bought this game yet so you can put me down in the ‘waiting for 2nd Edition’ camp as well for all the reasons stated above.
I still think Franz Ferdinand looks like a Meerkat.
it would be cool if they did strategic rails kinda like the burma road in global. like, the more tts you had containing the road, the more units you could place at the end of it. might balance out the defender’s advantage of the front being closer to their production facilities…

Ok flash man, you know you keep talking about rails so much your going to drive everyone against them out if pure annoyance

A picture of the russian Battalion of Death of 1917 maybe? I am not sure if these girls were that hot…

Very interesting – I’d never heard of this group. They had a great unit name too. Another group with an impressive designation was Muammar Gaddafi’s all-female elite bodyguard unit, the Amazonian Guard, also known as the Revolutionary Nuns. Too bad they’re in the wrong time period for A&A, unless of course Larry comes up with a late-20th century WWIII game at some point.
Just imagine two semi-uniformed babes mud-slinging it on the box cover, with a picture of the eastern front in the back drop.
Can’t say I’d complain.
Sorry Erwin, George, Monty, you guys just don’t have the same “goods”.

This picture might be a reasonable starting point for Garg’s proposal, though the box cover artist would need to do a bit of work to, um, flesh out the concept:
This map (in larger size than first edition !!) would be my favourite map for second Edition. (of course it would be in english :wink:
All changes:
2 more tts for Russia: St.Petersburg and Kaukasus ( Starting Set Up for both were the additional 3 Inf from the Tournement Rules)
1 more tt for Turkey: Armenia (Prevents Russian Units from taking Bagdad in Round 1)
Germany looking like Germany in 1914 not in 1919. Bulgaria reaches the coast/Finland no more.
Switzerland with its formidable army and difficult mountaineous region worth 3 IPC.
4 more USW-Zones (historical)
Mexico as Minor Power to simulate the Zimmermann-Note, some Zones for the US.
Konstantinopel is handled like Suez Canal along with one more SZ in the Med.
In Africa some colonies allow to place 1 Inf. when mobilzing your troops (brown K). (Mexico also)
I kept the rest from original game although there were some things I still don´t agree with (you can check out some of my maps in the 1914 map tweaks in the House Rules) but for the simplicity of the game I can live with it.
My wish would be that it is forbidden for AH in the first turn to attack Italy or Romania because these two were Central Powers when AH declared war against Serbia in 1914.
