Images of the Map?

Austria has to be doing pretty well to attack Greece; adding 4 units to the enemy ranks in a tt it’ll be very difficult to hold onto could open the door for the Allies.

Albania is already an open door - invading here should be standard, but again Austrian plans are upset by that damned stupid Serbian attack.

With Russia and Britain moving before it, Turkey will be doing well to hold onto Mesopotamia and even get a look at Persia.

If the Allies are cooperating properly, the Turquish fleet shouldn’t get the chance to sail, leaving the Allies with the freedom to land anywhere in the Balkans. The Russian Black Sea, and French and British Med fleets all move before Turkey, with the Italians to follow up (Austria can wait).

Note: not certain Finland does have an Arctic coastline, it certainly shouldn’t have in 1914. Might be another 4 cornered job.

If any Central tries to invade Greece it should be Ottomans with their Bulgarian troops…that said neither they should probably just wait for the Allies to invade and then attack the weakend allied force.

Let’s take a step back. Why didn’t major powers invade so-called ‘strict neutrals’ in the war? Was it because it wasn’t worth the effort, or because there were repercussions for doing it? I think whatever rules are put in place should be as historical as possible.

It wasn’t worth the effort mostly, who wants to invade switzerland? It’s full of old ladies with guns and really tall mountains.

It wasn’t gentlemanly. That’s why the invasion of Belgium caused such outrage.

Other than that, there are very few examples; Portugal, Romania and Bulgaria all joined in voluntarily to grab tt; Persia was already considered a “protectorate” by the UK & Russia; Greece invited the Allies in; Albania was in a state of anarchy and scarcely had a government to overthrow; Austria and Serbia each accused each other of starting the whole thing.

The other neutrals pretty much minded their own business and made a quiet profit from the war.
By and large, not giving the defending forces to the enemy should be enough to discourage attacks in a game which should be finely balanced between existing units.

Ooh, Flash… I see what you did with that minefield off Britain’s east coast…  :-o :-D

Here’s the map with the setup guys!…. :mrgreen:

How… where… when… did… you… get… that… ::droollll::

Strange that the territory labeled ‘Mesopotamia’ is not in ‘Mesopotamia.’

The pic looks like its from Facebook. I saw a similar one there

Where did you get this? Was the game delivered early?

So not fair.

Wow, looks great! I hope that the game got released early and that this isn’t just some leaked pictures, I would love for this thing to show up on my doorstep today!

I like the little slip from Morocco to French West Africa!!!

That’s going to make things a whole lot more exciting in that region of Africa!  We haven’t seen that much mobility there since classic!

The main complaints I’ve heard have been about Prussia and Finland, but I’m upset that they took away Bulgaria’s Aegean coastline. It would’ve added a whole new dimension to the Balkans, being able to land units directly into Bulgaria without having to take Constantinople first.
