1914 attack rules vs traditional A&A attack rules…think strategy

@mcclellansGhost

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.

@TheVeteran

Awesome!

@El:

What happens if Russia Revolution is declared and Finland is occupied by brithis units and rusian units?

The British units have one turn to get out of Finland.  If they don’t, they are removed from the board.

@El:

Can germany attack Finlad to take over Finland eventhoug is occupied with rusian troops?

No.  Neither side may move units into Russian-controlled territories.

@El:

Can british troops attack livonia which is occupied by germans?

That depends on what you mean by “occupied”.

If Germany controls Livonia, then yes.  The territory is considered to have no original controller for the rest of the game and is therefore up for grabs.

If Livonia is contested, then no.  Allied powers may no longer move units into territories shared between Russia and the Central Powers.

@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.

I would like to see a game where Germany try sealion. It really depends ion the rolls at jutland. I have a plan in mind but it probably won’t work an experienced player. I was thinking turn one, buy 5 tt on kiel. If Jutland goes well,  next turn put 1 tt on Scott land, one on yorkshire and if GB doesn’t buy ships and France doesn’t put ships there, three tt on whales. If that happens, it’s game over. But again ypthat relies on a lot of elements going well and pure stupidity on GB part. Anybody thought of  like a two or three star plan for great Britain?

Krieghung, thanks for the quick response.  That poor Russian battleship in SZ12 has to thread the needle through SZ11 and SZ10 even if there are no ships there and I guess once the UK Navy is gone in SZ29, you just need to start ground pounding your way through Ottoman to get into the fight.

Hiya Forum,

Here is a video I have created on youtube of the set up of AnA WW1 1914. I hope it come to some help for you to enjoy the game!

@oztea:

I think its more important to kill the UK home fleet.

What, I didn’t make it clear enough how much it needed to be destroyed?

@Frontovik:

that are tactics…
where is your main focus: russia or france?
combining france with italy conquest might be good idea (so combined with austria)

France, as I rather screamed. You must- I cannot emphasize this enough- MUST destroy France quickly. The Pincer, and Germany as a whole, is built for speed. Allow the Allies to seize the initiative, and you may as well surrender already.

@Cyprian:

Why send any troops to Prussia?

And what about sending 2 subs to seazone 2?

I suppose you could send all troops to Silesia if you wanted, but remember that Poland must be secured to be able to place all focus on the Western Front. It doesn’t particularly matter where the troops go, just so long as the Russian can’t break through.
And I am not willing to sacrifice any naval power from the grand assault on the Royal Navy. They must be wiped out and fast to keep reinforcements from reaching France. Germany cannot outproduce both Britain and France.
