Cool! That would be great. Appreciate it!

The Great War have you Done it yet?

I sure do love the great war. Wait...

@@johnnygreenface4195 what

I'm kind of sad this didn't happen, was hoping for a Diplomacy playthough, perhaps during WW2 we can do an Axis and Allies game!

Actually, some more clarity here per the rules - if Moscow falls under Central Powers control, the revolution CANNOT happen. To explain further: there is no government for the Communists to overthrow, the government is now in exile and they no longer have a leg to stand on to negotiate peace.

Wow really?

And the Capital of the Ottoman Empire is Istanbul not Constantinople

@@juwe6436 technically you could send letters to Istanbul with the city as "Constantinople." The complete official removal of the name of Constantinople happened after the collapse of the Empire iirc

can I still get the extra units? Where can I find them?

Is it still possible?

Thanks!

You're welcome. Enjoy the game!

Yes, you can.

Found it. Page 15 "An army in a territory must contain at least one infantry unit."

Thanks for the kind word!

It means the unit can take 2 hits before being removed. With one hit you place the unit on it's side to keep track of the damage. If the unit survives it can be repaired to full strength.

Interesting. Didn't know that!

If planes from opposing sides are present, they fight until only one or no sides remains. If a side has remaining Fighters, they then get their one roll against the enemy that is counted along with all the other hits from their ground forces against the enemy's remaining troops and their Artillery hit on 4 instead of 3. These latter rules are going to apply if both sides started with Fighters or not.

Also clarification, the artillery pre-emptive bombardment of attacking amphibious land units only occurs during amphibious assault of a hostile territory, not during amphibious reinforcement of a contested territory where both friendly and enemy units are already present. This means that a beachhead is already established and land units can unload safely from transports. But this also means that battleship bombardment can't occur either for a reinforcement landing.

Agreed. As for the Battleship despite being on the Battle Board I think it only gets one shot. I need to check the specific rules for 1914 as each version of Axis & Allies is slightly different for Assaults.

I've been curious about Fields of Despair. Friedrich I haven't seen. I'll check it out.

Harsh Rules: Board Game Tutorials Thank you, Friedrich seems great, I have it but I havent played it yet. Same for Fields of Despair... Have you checked my comments below? I also recommend the Tournament rules to speed up A & A 1914. And its a must to check the q&a at A&A org... there were many open questions thats why i dont believe the rules are top notch... Thank you again.

Thank you for your insights below. Appreciate it!

If you could only have one, I would go with A&A Europe 1940 2nd Edition. I prefer WWII to WWI and you can also pickup the A&A 1940 Pacific Game and join the boards to play Global. I remember 1914 being a shorter game though (3-4 hours) so if time is an issue go that way.

No if you have no fighters and the enemy does then that player automatically gets air supremacy

@@lockgaming200 thx

You might create your own rules there. Decide, whether the Central Power takes an american ship as a casualty. For the american player this can be seen as an aggression, so America joins the war. The other way round, America cannot be an aggressor so the ships may not defend.

The USA ships are not attacked unless the CP player chooses to include them and bring the USA into the war earlier.

It's on page 20 of the rulebook. The box on the side of the page discusses how to manage liberated capitols.

Yes

thing2 from my experience, if you have a four player game one person should play Germany, another Britain and France, the third Austria and the ottomans, and the fourth person: Russia, Italy and US.

MapHistory3, what do you recommend for 5 players and 6 players

For 5: Player 1 - Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire 2 - Germany 3 - Russian Empire, United States 4 - France, Italy 5 - British Empire

For 6: Player 1 - Austria-Hungary 2 - Germany 3 - Ottoman Empire 4 - Russian Empire, United States 5 - France, Italy 6 - British Empire

I can't think of another place other than ebay.

There figure cheap

Hey Im trying to find the differences between the two version any chances finding a video explaining them?

@@felipeignacioalvaradoaranc6698 Exact same thing.

@@felipeignacioalvaradoaranc6698 It is a reprint rather than a second edition, however they have provided more chips this time, a few more British and German infantry and a rulebook with a clearer explanation of the Russian revolution rule.

It’s from a Wagner piece called Siegfried’s Death & Funeral March

I think both are good games. Pacific has a greater emphasis on Naval operations so if you're looking for a game where there is more of a balanced emphasis on the armed forces you might want to go with WWI.

Caden Heywood the US is totally out of this game cause it takes forever to send the troops to Europe and come back with the transport ships.... Unless you play with tournament rules...

Better to be America and another Entente country

You can make as many combat movements as you like but there's only 1 round of combat

@@lockgaming200 ok thx friend!!!!!!!!!

Its all good :D

No. The game follows history. You'd could try it and see how it plays. It'll be unbalanced though.

@@harsh-rules Yes you are right, I think it would make more sence with Italy.

Italy didn't enter the war for nearly a year, they should not be active for 2 turns, certainly not the first game turn and possibly a dice roll for turn 2, automatically on turn 3. If Austria takes Serbia on turn one, this might seem to be able to affect the whole beginning of the war, historically Austria waited a few weeks too long, this delay allowed lying politicians and diplomats the time to finish weaving their web of alliances, I feel a quick decisive Austrian retribution against the Serb's could have interfered with the completion of alliances and delayed the whole war...a few turns maybe at least. (Possibly a alternative rule like the Russian communist revolution

You're welcome. I'm working on G40.

Allied powers was a term used in World War 1 too, the Entente already referred to themselves as the Allies in propaganda for example.

Yea

@@TheGreatWar Well, a surprise seeing you here.

I agree, Elizabeth. Artistically, I feel like their cramming the design into the space. And the weird "dutch angle" and 3d effect puts emphasis on countries like Spain who are not the main focus in the game. I'd also vote for a more conventional map. If you want more of a Euro-focus chop off America and Canada that are falling off the current board as it is. I'm sure there's a way to represent the U.S. in the game without showing North America. Art and component complaints aside, the rules are solid Axis & Allies.

Yeah, I thought they could have also done without the entire continent of Africa. I mean, did anything of note (legendary\famous battles) ever happen there during WWII? I'm pretty sure not, all the major engagements were in Europe and the Mideast.

You can make a bigger map, you can download it from Axis and Allies org. Actually the problem is not so much Africa but the crowded it gets around Belgium and Northern France, so a bigger maps is needed. Just measure your table and make one as biggest as possible... Regarding the rules there were many, many things not well explained... Just read the Q & A in the same forum...

Yeah, I checked that one out. It still has the same problem being on that weird "dutch angle" as you described it with Africa being eye-gougingly distorted (again, they didn't even need central and southern Africa in the first place). I was thinking more along the lines of this: i143.photobucket.com/albums/r123/elizlestrad/map_zpsj8rjgiq5.jpeg or this 66.208.209.77/aaa/aaapotd/fans/yope/AdvAAEsmallmap1.1.jpg

Thats good, but Belgium would still be very crowded and the colonies still have to play a role in the game... There was the Von Lettow german campaign in Africa for example which played a role and Africa its an easy way to get IPCs... Its hard to solve the prople you mentioned but I would go for the A&A org map and customize it for your needs, but yes, the map would still turn up weird in one way or the other... Until you get used to it...
