And finally the United States.  I had a lot of space left over…and wasn’t sure what to do with it.  I realized that the Official FAQ corrected/replaced/clarified entire sentences of the Rulebook.  So, I used the space on the U.S. card to get the official verbiage of US Neutrality from the Rulebook combined with the FAQ.

Overall…I’m really pleased with the cards and think I’ll get them printed on card stock here real soon.
I hope you enjoy them – and of course anyone else is welcome to enjoy them as well!

:-D

I really like that we have to wait until Round 4 for the US to join the war…so I thought Italy could have something similar.  So on our second game we went with a Round 1 Neutrality for them.

Also…Krieghund was kind enough to correct me on some Sea Combat rules. I thought it went nicely on the Italian card.

At this point, I decided I wanted a little note/reminder on every card…so for the Ottoman Empire I figured it would have something about the canals.  Since the Dardanelles & Bosphorus are open by default in the game, I went with the Suez Canal.  Plus, I find that grey spot between Egypt and Trans-Jordan to be misleading.

*Though…I’m thinking about a House-Rule for controlling the Turkish Straits through Constantinople.  It’s my understanding that they were closed during WWI anyways.

It wasn’t until the Ottoman Empire was about to capture India, that we realized the British could build in Bombay.  Also, since the British start the game with controlling Egypt, it seemed a good place to identify how the Suez Canal is controlled.

I also wanted to have something about the air supremacy and artillery for defending units.  Since France is 1 of only 2 countries to begin the game with a Fighter, I thought it made sense to include it on the France card.  Also, our group had a disagreement about the strafing run by the fighters, so I got that clarified as well.

It made sense to include the USW on the Germany card, and our A&A group kept wanting to give Subs a first strike capability…so I included that as well.

Chacmool,

Thanks a lot!  Hope you enjoy the whole collection  :-)

Dukla,

Thanks for the positive feedback!  I actually changed out the attachment above…the Amphibious Assault section was still bugging me.  I’ve based them off the original Europe Cards, I really wish 1914 had come with something similar.  Once I finally decide they are good I plan to get them printed on some thick card stock.

Hi everyone…I also made some reference cards and thought I would post them for any to use.  I’ve attached Austria for now.  The rest later today.  These are simple “Screen Shots” of the cards to cut down on size for the forum…higher quality available if you like.

Enjoy!

Thanks Krieghund!  I stand corrected.

gtsg,

That passage on Page 20 in within the “Order of Play” section of the book…and it immediately follows the “Step 6 Conclude Combat” (on Page 19).  Because of this, I believe that passage is referring to after the actual dice roll.  After the first round of dice roll…you can decide to either continue or stop (this is in comparison to the land battles, which only have a round).

Someone of more official status (i.e. Krieghund) may have greater insight…but I believe you will have at least one round of combat in that sea zone.

gtsg,

Once you move those transports into the SZ11 and leave them along with the battleship, you will engage in combat with the british battleships.

Surface warships cannot other surface warships, and the transports would be claimed last in any casualty count.

gtsg,

If you load the transports in SZ12 and then move them into SZ11…you would have to engage in warfare since SZ11 would be a hostile sea zone (Rulebook: Page 11).  The battleships are surface warships and you would need to conduct combat before you could offload the critical artillery (Rulebook: Page 16) into Berlin.

Hope this helps!

Commando Brado,

Is this game still available for $20?  I’ll be happy to take it off your hands  :-)

I sent you a PM…just waiting a response  8-)

Awesome!  Thanks for the clarification!

Krieghund,

I’m very sorry if this has been asked/answered previously.  I just picked up AA1914 and really enjoyed it, my group played our first game last night (~8hrs with Allied Victory in Berlin & Constantinople).  My question is about Fighters.

We played the Fighter Strafe as a non-defendable attack, was this correct?  Is it the same as a Sub’s First-Strike capability in other A&A editions?

I was surprised to not find it asked about more online, and then even more surprised to not find it in the official FAQ.  This morning, I went over page 19 of the rulebook very carefully, and I understood the passage on Step 5: Remove Casualties “Each player can select any unit in their attacking or defending force as a casualty, including fighters.”  to mean that they are defendable.

If the attacker has the fighters, they can remove them as casualties when the defends rolls, yes?  Meaning that the strafe run does NOT instantly remove these hits from the battle?  Otherwise, why would/could the attacker choose fighters as casualties, unless they are simply participating in the land battle now…right?

Thanks for all your help!
