MOVED: Talk Tech Turkeys

@Krieghund

Thank you! I saw that sentence but wasn’t completely sure that it implied what you said.

@theveteran

Thank you.

@krieghund

Really? Crap, I was wrong the whole time. Thanks for clarifying.

@Krieghund Thanks. I don’t play a lot of 1914 so some of the mine rules are pretty wonky for me. The bit about mines halting movement in particular is pretty important.

Two-space movement of land units is allowed only in the Tournament Rules.

@Flashman:

I don’t think it matters a damn.

The whole problem with this game is that the Allies are so much more mobile (they can virtually teleport by sea, and can feed units into the East via India) that whatever the CPs do the Allies can immediately and effectively counter-move.

Only by allowing the CPs unlimited land movement by rail do they stand a chance of winning.

i don’t agree, i have played 6 games against the same people and won 5 out of 6 games. You can win as the Central Powers. We opted for different opening moves which stunned the Allies every time. You can’t go for a total victory but you can hang on so they give up. Taking Russia and moving all west is critical.

Ummm….

No…

When I use my rule changes the battles rage all over the map
Not one problem occurs…

Infact we had different territories change hands multiple times…

Russia actually stays in the war longer… (TURN 7)

The game moves much more efficiently. …

If you don’t try it…

Your missing out one one of the best war games
Ever written. .

This sounds like a good idea. I play with a lot of new players, many of whom are confused by the “units can move 2 spaces, except when they can’t (except for fighters).”

They’ve always had an easier time with 42.2’s NCM.
