Ok with close inpection with my units, i have a german battle ship that has a different shade of grey then the others. The german transports arnt the same shade as the cuisers either.

Thats not too bad of a difference but when i looked at russia, i almost thought i had two italian subs with the other russian subs. The shade is very noticable and also one of the russian tranports has a diffcerent shade of brown yet not as strong as the subs. Alwell, it doesn’t ruin anything but it kinda annoys me a bit.

Ah rail roads. How about they cost about 5 ipcs to build in any province. You would then treat that province as one half of a movement point.

Or you could have infantry get a bunus in defence in areas with railroads due to a steady supply of supplies. You just have to find some rules that wont throw off the enitre games balance.

Yea i just bought some. Im looking for some other markers as well to improve the game play. The custom production chart that flashman showed looked nice as well so ill probably use that too.

But belgium does have a french marker next to the belgium flag plus the province is blue so i think its safe to say that france will get the province if any other ally liberates/activates the province.

Colonies are in blue too so im just going to have france get the portuguese and belgium colonies when the their countries get activated.

Well as long as they get here before the weekend so my friends and i can play it, ill be happy.

Here is the link to the mines. http://www.historicalboardgaming.com/HBG-Naval-Mines-Marker-Acrylic_p_774.html

Ok im confused. Lets say we have the uk lands in portugul. This activates the country correct? Do the troops that it activates go to the uk or france? And does the territory get liberated to go to france or does the uk get the income from portugul. And are the portugul colonies go to the uk? Or france? Or do they remain uncontrolled till some power moves in.

When on mobile, switching to desktop mode fixed it for me.

This means switzerland is going to become a very war torn area real quick. :-P

With that becoming a hub for ah and g, that will very well encourage britain to send troops to the western front as soon as possible eliminating any real threat by putting units in india. With france and italy on the balance of life or death its going to be a race against time to take or support those places. The ottomans can sen some units to russia and take care of british troops in india and africa to get some ipcs.

With a combined effort of all cp nations, russia will get boggled down. Whether you have the revolution rules or not could provide interesting outcomes. Ill have to try that out.

Then comes america. France should be taken or should be almost dead along with italy if all goes well. How easy they will fall is something i would like to know. If the allies can hold there ground during all of that, the cp will have a hard time winning. Ill guess ill have to play myself to find out but these strategies will probably is what ill try if im the cp. Anyone else have some ideas on what will happen? Its hard to speculate this, but the only thing that i need changed is the russia revolution rules.Better clarification would solve this and doesnt need overhualed. Like flashman said also about the tanks could also help them more to be bought.

Alwell, enough thinking outloud and speculating. This will hopfully be realy fun to play.:)

For those who have played the game, with having switzerland attackable, will this help the allies or the central powers?

Yes germany has another front to attack france from but this also allows italy to mobilize and attack germany faster and supporting france at the same time.

Im starting think making switzerland unpassable may tip better chances for germany to win. Anyone care to enlighten me on the situation on that front?

Amazon has a set price of 70 dollars i believe. It may have been different a while back though.

Anyone get their game from coolstuff.com?

I havn’t checked if its been shipped but i hope i get it today.

As the allies, i will play as France.

I shall restore france from the endless butt hurtings of the 1940 edition to greater glory.  :-)

As for the central powers, ill go with ottomans. New nation with an interesting position and many strategies to try out. Can’t wait till i get my hands on this game. Going to be nice trying out this setting.
