@PGsquig @AndrewAAGamer I think the units having different abilities and costs is what makes it so much more fun. The German 88 should be one of the best units in any game, and I absolutely love it. The Tiger being amazing is fun as well.

I enjoy the Italian units being weaker on average, and the matilda being slow. It is an absolute chef’s kiss.

Thanks to all involved in the creation.

@666 OK, thanks

@The-Janus

Yeah, Andrew’s guide is phenomenal.

Your French moves were pretty solid. I never thought of uniting the French infantry in London with the Africa-Middle East force, but I think you demonstrated pretty well that it makes the Free French a potent force that way.

@mike64 did you open the file in play by forum?

@FranceNeedsMorePower

Nice. I’m currently working a TripleA version of this.

4 questions:

What’s Italy’s starting IPCs? You never actually wrote it. You list 2 different unit counts for the Soviets on Archanagel. Which is correct? Is the German navy supposed to be that weak? Did you playtest the original and find it was too imbalanced toward the Axis (hence this vereion)?

I think a good idea for 1914 would be to require at least 1 infantry to be stationed in every territory by the end of a power’s turn (the infantry must be from the power controlling. If they don’t, they won’t get the IPCs from this territory. Not only does it potentially make the game more historically accurate (to symbolize the need to keep civilian populations under control during wartime), but it probably also makes the game more balanced, as the Allies will probably be more burdened with this (since they have substantially larger colonial possessions).
