Preview 3: Map, Components, and Units

Here’s a Shapeways model using V Class British Destroyers :

The same shop also has a German version if you want to look into it.

Russia needs to have at least one unit in territories shared between it and the Central Powers, in order to indicate this shared status. However, there’s no reason why you need to leave any units in territories that Russia has full control of, other than simply not taking the time to remove them during the game.

@Patchman123 I think that the szs should be either
ankara, sevastopol+rum and constantinople+bulg

Constantinople+Ankara+bulgaria, Sevastopol+romania (this way i think it is in oob)

The one for bulgaria+romania is unnecessary. Ottoman fleet, while exposed should be able to protect either Constantinople and Ankara at the same time or separately.

One last shot. The role of the neutrals is graciously being played by an old set of WW11 Russian infantry and artillery that I painted black.

I´m sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn´t find it anywhere. Does anyone know of an original (or without the production chart…) 1914 map available for download that´s bigger than the one in the box?

Same as before except:

All new ground units are placed in the capital.

All new ships are placed in tts with a naval base.

UK can place some units in India (not ships), but we don’t know if there’s a limit to this.

There is no production in Africa, which is why some think its pretty pointless having Africa in the game at all.

My suggested house rule is that any power holding African tt can build a limited number of “Askaris” there on a turn; basically native infantry who must be accompanied at all times by “regular” troops. They cost 2 and fight at -1 on attack and defence (can still be boosted by artillery).
Without them, Africa will have fewer units than tts and see very little action.

@FieldMarshalGames:

How does production work?  What are the limits?  Are there stacking limits?

Can you / how do you produce in Africa?

Well presently Russia turns into IMPASSABLE after the revolution so just making it neutral is a small step toward reality. The CP can keep going to Moscow if it wants, but that reactivaes Russia as an allied power, conversely, if Russia is almost empty the allies can invade to get to Moscow and turn back the revolution (by fighting their way to the Kremlin)

Otherwise, both van ignore Russia as it sorts out its own internal affairs.
I would go as far as having a die cart you roll each turn to see if/how the revolution ends. Some result rejoining the Allies, some remaining neutral, some trading with the CP, and an option to Join the CPs.

Would probably be 2d6. 6,7, and 8 being “stays neutral roll again next turn”

No, the tanks are fine.

Its the fighters and artillery that are too small.
