Hasbro/WotC Priorites (Not 1914)

I’ve created a separate thread for my work on the OOB 1914 map. Please go here to discuss it in more detail.

For those interested the last 3 rounds were played out.

The final score after 6 full rounds was Entente 29 Central Powers 27.

Unfortunately no notes or images taken.

The 17 hour game was Global 40. We played 1914 for 7 hours but it was never in doubt after about 4 hours or so.

Historically Italy should not be considered at war until the start of I1, although A-H will probably decide to attack it anyway.

Well I’ll be continuing playing A&A for as long as possible.  Getting a job is going to make me have significant less time.

In my experience the game is only playable by replacing ALL land and air units with chips bar the single infantry atop each stack. Even then it can still get crowded with units of 4 or 5 nations sometimes piling into a small tt.

So for me a future version needs a few more infantry each and drop all the other land unit minis; and a big pile of extra chips, a different colour for each unit type.

More likely a second edition will feature something along the lines of task force cards & markers; AH is not going to admit to the redundancy of plastic minis. Blow up boxes are a no-no.

@vonLettowVorbeck1914:

Don’t have the board near me; why is attacking Spanish Morocco a good idea for France? Just the free IPC or is there something else?

As far as I know, just the free IPCs

Yep. I don’t see why you shouldn’t do it. You have extra French down their for a turn anyway.

Would be neat to see the Chinese communists represented, they should have special guerrilla abilities (may be placed in an occupied territory, attacks on a 3 for the first round). They should also get an IPC bonus (maybe 3-4) if nearby Russia maintains nearby territories. Goes without saying they can’t occupy the same territories as Nationalist units.

Canada is definitely a no-brainer, I would let them start with what’s on the board and just add a destroyer at SZ1, and they get a 5 IPC bonus if they control all their original territories plus Newfoundland/Labrador.
