Well we had our first play of 1914 last night. It lasted 5 hours and we got in 8 rounds.
End result:
Central Powers Captured Moscow (Non RR rules).
Allies captured Constan with US help.
Western Front was still wide open and we could tell it would still be 3-4 rounds til the end. I do think the allies may have been winning. Austria and Germany were mainly playing defence against the hordes of British, French, and US troops. Italy was even beating up on Austria as well.
We played with tanks being built on turn 3. This really seemed to help them get the tanks into battle quickly, but the US was able to get them into battle T5, as Germany had to wait until turn 7.
Flashman may be right about having some sort of rails or supply line. Their movement was too slow.
Ie I captured Moscow on turn 3 and my Germany and Austrian units didn’t get back to western front until turn 7.
Their movement is way too slow, and the allies will ALWAYS control the oceans on this game.
The CP’s don’t have a massive sea power like Japan to keep the USA busy.
Would anyone be against giving Ausria 1 Cextra crusier upon start and giving germany a crusier and a sub in by Madagascar
