Preview 3: Map, Components, and Units

The usual discussion about how many of a unit does each piece represent.

Each game’s scale is different, so what are your thoughts are how many of itself does each unit represent? An infantry unit, for example, is odd. It’s certainly not a field army but still too big for a division. It’s slightly too big for a corps though. Maybe two divisions work?

What do you think for other units? Thank you!

By the way, I find it ludicrous that the French Navy, that weak thing, somehow has more battleships than the second most powerful navy at the time, Germany. And France has the same amount of battleships as the Royal Navy, the top navy in the world. Crazy!

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.

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

thanks :)

@oztea:

At this point in history fighters weren’t really ready to do any real damage to boats yet. Their speeds were very low and cross winds were very hazardous. Also planes of the time couldn’t carry very much in the way of firepower, so hurting a ship was outside their scope.

Yes, all good points.

I don’t find the number of chips to be a problem with anything other than infantry, and I have another colour (MB version white) for 10 infantry.

Two or three large stacks in a region are much less of a problem than 7 or 8 medium ones.
