Has anyone bought a cruiser yet?

Hey there,

maybe you followed my questions regarding the Russian revolution (here: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1779566). If so you should be familiar with the situation.

If not: Below you see a pre-Revolution situation. Austria finished its moves. It wiped out the British troops in Kazakhstan. An easy win, but a huge strategic error.
The Russian player then tried to trap those troops by provoking the Revolution with a withdrawal from Livonia and the Liberation of Ukraine. It failed, interestingly. So Ukraine stayed contested. Subsequently, the Entente accepted without hesitation the offered armistice and the Austrian army could move out of Russia to fight another day.

That said, I would like to know if you would accept the armistice even if Russia succeeded in liberating Ukraine and therefore trapping the Austrian army for good. What say you?

@Running-Away Per page 22 of the rulebook, units of another power may be transported only if that power is friendly. Per page 12, the US is not considered to be either friend or enemy to any other power while it remains neutral. Therefore, the US cannot transport units belonging to any other power while it is neutral.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

Yep.

@DoManMacgee

Agreed.

Has anyone found proper colors to use for custom units for 1914 for each power ? I’ve had no luck finding anything so I try to color match to the best of my abilities but if there was RGB or CMYK info out there it would be awesome for modders.

One thing I like to do as well is to have a transport or two in sea zone 8, then ferry forces from the US directly to Ireland (it only takes 1 turn for ships to move from there), then onwards to Picardy or Brest (the transports in sea zone 8 bridging). They can also move into sea zone 9 and desposit them in Belgium depending on the situation.

Since WW1 with standard rules is considered a positional slog, I don’t think that adding zombies to the mix is going to make the game more dynamic. Its going to create an even more stagnated wall of positional battle. Also, territory control is quite different than the other editions so zombies would have to be added into that mix and perhaps you could do whoever has the most units controls?

The unit pallette is also smaller, which means the tech and interaction between the units and zombies would have to be fixed on a unit by unit basis (planes dont attack zombies, for example, because they dont attack anything).

You can totally reach paris with only starting units and the planes coming in. You do need an AH stack to join you but this is not a problem.
