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

@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.

I’ve created a separate thread for my work on the OOB 1914 map. Please go here to discuss it in more detail.

Couldn’t pass up the deal. The game is ridiculously overpriced usually. Europe and Pacific 1940 were only around $70 when I got them, but $100? And it’s apparently lacking enough pieces. C’mon! $60 was a good deal though. And free shipping.  :wink:Plus I have been meaning to get it, but couldn’t justify the cost. Here’s hoping for a good game when it gets here in a week. :-)

Yeah, like I said, it was an unusual move and Italy didn’t get the help from the Allies that it should have.

As for moving your units to and from contested territories, I believe you can move them by transport as well. It doesn’t specifically state in the rule book, but it does say that you can move your troops from one contested territory to another contested territory IF you already have troops in the 2nd contested territory via land.
It also says you can move troops from a contested territory onto one of your transports.
So, you would basically just be putting those two statements together.

That might make sense.  Either that, or have contesting the capital as a precondition to checking for them.  However, in all three cases, the situation was caused by sneaky moves of troops to places just big enough to cause them to be contested, which is why I suggested giving the country the entirety of its turn to try to correct the situation (like in WWII games of A&A when a capital is captured).  As it was, we sent armies on suicide missions right before the turn of the country in question just to trigger the collapse, even though the moves would otherwise NEVER have been made (like sacrificing a considerable army just to have 1-2 units survive, thereby contesting a territory).

Thanks Chacmool!

That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said about me.  :-D

I think that he is a political laxative.

There’s a similar discussion going on over here:
