yah thats a better idea
Interesting project. I had worked on a similar one myself using IL’s rules as a base and simplifying them for a more “A&A” feel. My game board ended up being so huge to fit all the pieces that I currently don’t have a table to support it. Play testing is temporarily suspended…
What is your suggestion for the non-A&A pieces like bi-planes, cavalry, etc? Just curious what others are using. I bought a bunch of Central Powers pieces from Jack (Table Tactics) a while back, but had to invent some stuff to go with it.
Honestly I don’t care what the pieces look like. Just so long as I get to play the game. I use Infantry as infantry, mechs as armored cars, arts as arts, risk horses as cavalry, fighters as fighters, tac bombers as bombers, strat bombers as airships, turned over transports for zepplins, turned over ACs for railguns.
I rock you have to rename your russian cities. Leningrad and Stalingrad weren’t named that till after the revolution, speaking of which you should probably have communist Russia rules.
probaly should but will take quit some time, I have so much homework right now dont have tiome to mess around with my board. Finman look on page 1 thats where my russian revolution rule is, if thats what you ment by a communist russian rule.
Yeah he can’t show the actual war cause it mainly occured in 1919.
Okay guys this is the entrenchment rule:
Entrenchment costs 1 ipc per infantry and it gives them +1 defense for the first round of combat

#5Siberian reinforcements: every turn place 1 free infantry in Siberian Urals
Britain:
#4Australian support: place 1 infantry per turn in the Middle East deployment zone (MEDZ)

pelase tell me if any one is still interested with this if no one is ill stop updating.
I am actually quite interested in where the rules lead to. Plus, I encourage any variant building since they often turn out fun and, even if it doesn’t work, can lead to many new good ideas. Please keep posting on this project!
Thanks, since schools over I’ll probally be able to print the map and start play testing soon and seriously if you have any NA ideas for France Italy or Russia it would be appreciated and you will get reconization in the rule book.
first page is updated for rules, and i just clarified some teritory names on the board and the planned map size is
112 by 64 cm the reason its so big is there a lot of small but important territories.
I don’t think that’s an unreasonable map size at all. Let’s see, that’s about 25.5" X 44". You could go bigger than that and still be okay. I would say keep the width to around 30-36" (~76-90cm).
Nice work i rock! I like to see what people do with game design. However, I do have two minor quibbles with your map that you might consider changing for historical continuity.
Just a couple thoughts, but please keep up the good work!
Hmm I didn’t know icelands 1 word well at least that’s better then it’s original name I had island! Anyone have NA suggestions? I ran out of ideas and I still need 3 for France 4 for Italy and 1 fir Russia and Austria.
For France:
“American Pilots”: America trained pilots to fly for france before they entered the war officially. France may purchase 1 fighter per turn at a cost of 3 instead of 7 until the US enters the war on turn 10.
That sounds good but might have to modify it a bit because 3 ipc planes is a tad OP.
