Ships at Port (1914)

US War Time Economy:  To show a wishy-washy attitude of the US towards the war in Europe, change the 20 IPC value of USA to a variable amount.  With the US’s involvement inevitable due to continued provocation from Germany on US interests, the calculation will also increase each turn. The variable calculation is; 8 + Tn + 2d6, where Tn = turn #.  At point where US enters the war, the latest calculated IPC count of US will be fixed to USA going forward. (US can hold until after turn 4 to declare war in an effort to possibly improve the IPC value).

In 1914, the African continent is a large part of the board that quickly becomes very irrelevant.  Here are some changes that can bring some interest back.

At start of game,

Place 1 German CA in SZ26 to represent the active German presence in the Indian Ocean. Place 1 French infantry in Fr. Equ. Africa. Add 1 German artillery in Ger. East Afr. Change German artillery in SW Afr to infantry. Add 1 German infantry in Kamerun. Make IPC value of South Africa 2 (reduce Canada to 3).

How would you play 2 Subs attacking 1 Cruiser and 1 Liner?
Let’s suppose the results is: “1” and “2”.
Is there 2 casualties? According to the best result from attacker’s POV.
Only 1 casualty? Assuming the worst case scenario for attacker in which the “1” was on the Cruiser while the “2” was put on the Liner.

No. Sub must choose the liner ship or the warship not both.

It seems to me that giving a single shot with usual combat value  (Sub A2 D1, in this case)  for each attacking unit is much simpler but still provide Liner a real chance to escape and survive.
It is the only units which Subs cannot attack again and again until it is over for one side.

After one round of combat the liner ship can withdraw if surviving the sub attack…

AL.

Is there a link to boardgamegeek where these files are now located?!?!
Thanks!

You don’t.

You attack with enough units to hold it.

Tanks don’t have to be adjacent to their attacking territory either. They can move 2 spaces to attack. For example, say you have a tank in Germany and you are attacking Baltic states. You can move through Poland with your tank and attack Baltic States.

You took my ideas.

ports protect from naval combat, but not air combat ships don’t get any movement bonus ships may only be build and repaired in port AA gun in Territory protects ships as well one change from our versions: if the Territory is captured the ships are considered “dislodged” and placed at sea ( they are not captured). IN that case if you had enemy ships in the sea zone a battle will be fought. SBR on the port can still take place as per OOB, in this case the only effect is you cant build new ships or place them in that port till repaired, but they still protect against air attack. optional rule: air raids… if the nation is being attacked for the first time roll one D6, 1-3 success/ +1 on all attacks that round, roll each round and reduce die by -1 ( 2nd round 1-2, third just 1)

I just bought some mini’s from Panzerschiffe and thought I’d paint them a flat, consistent AA color to use them to experiment with some ship-variation house rules.  Does anyone know what the best colors for matching the current AA country colors are?  Also, since the Panzerschiffe mini’s are in some sort of epoxy, what sort of paint should I use?  (Something easily sprayable would be ideal, if it works, as I’m no artist, and not concerned with detailing, only consistency and making them look like they “fit” in with the other pieces.)
