Larry Harris 1914 Tournament Rules ( "potential rules" using his language)

Thanks M_R!
Breaking it down into “actions” as you did would be a great addendum to the rule book!

It just seems odd that a transport could move from SZ28 to SZ19 to SZ17 sail past Sicily pick up two units from Piedmont sail back by Sicily and drop the units into Albania without technically appearing to move.

I need to start visualizing the importance of Sea Zones and non-adjacent coasts within the SZs.
It does lead to some possibly interesting game play dynamics.

Thanks again folks for clarifying the transport mechanics.

I added using Tournament rules as an option - didn’t think of at first because I’m not a fan of the quick movement.

@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.

Well I’ll be continuing playing A&A for as long as possible.  Getting a job is going to make me have significant less time.

In my experience the game is only playable by replacing ALL land and air units with chips bar the single infantry atop each stack. Even then it can still get crowded with units of 4 or 5 nations sometimes piling into a small tt.

So for me a future version needs a few more infantry each and drop all the other land unit minis; and a big pile of extra chips, a different colour for each unit type.

More likely a second edition will feature something along the lines of task force cards & markers; AH is not going to admit to the redundancy of plastic minis. Blow up boxes are a no-no.

I don’t agree with Shakespeare’s point but I definitely agree that these games are leaving a lot to be desired. Not just from a rules perspective but from a piece perspective. Battle board is tiny. No money and lack of German infantry and chips for both sides. I have played with the new tournament rules however and do love them. If you have the game Shakespeare give them a shot I really like them. I think you will too.

I like the diddy dice. But there needs to be more of them, and in 4 different colours.
