MOVED: Talk Tech Turkeys

@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.

You can only move land units out of a contested territory into a territory which at the beginning of your turn was either under your control or contained units belonging to you.  Since Ukraine meets neither of those conditions for Germany, Germany may not move land units there from contested Poland.  However, since Moscow is not contested, Germany may move land units into Ukraine from there.

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. .

@Razor:

Austria cant afford to lose Albania, but can USA afford the extra trannies it takes to contest Albania rather than shucking units to France ?

It would take the same number of transports.  France and Albania are both two movements away from the US.  Shucking to Albania puts US troops within 2 moves of 2 different CP capitols.

The point of the sentence I quoted is simply to differentiate “regional territories” from “colonies”.  Regional territories can trace a line through contiguous original territories back to the capital, while colonies are removed from the capital.  The only difference this really makes is that colonies of minor powers are handled a little differently than their capitals.  Since minor powers don’t have regional territories anyway, this sentence is more about “flavor” than anything else.
