To support CdeG, although I have played 1914 just twice, both games featured an axis focus on taking out Russia (no Russian Revolution) while Turkey holds on, leading to an axis victory.
Why isn't France a Central Power?

Not true- Italy ruled Europe for hundreds of years back in Roman days- it just wasn’t called Italy back then. Italy cannot be trusted in the last 100 years, yup- agreed.
-
Nobody trusted Venice in the Middle Ages either. They were always trading and allying with every bodies enamies.
-
Oh wait. This is about France not Italy :-D

I wouldn’t trust the French either. They were Europe’s bullies for, like, 1000 years from Charlemagne to Napoleon.
-
Let’s just all agree that you couldn’t trust anyone in Europe before or during WW1.
-
Why don’t we just let every player form their own alliances at the beginning of the game. Hell if Britain & France and Austria & the Ottomans can be allies than why not let anybody go for it.

I love history.
I can only imagine what the French and British thought of each other on WW1.
As for the Austrian and Turks, well… -
Best solution:
Play A&A 1914 with the alliance rules from the game Diplomacy!
You get the best of both games.

Excellent choice. We caan then cut out America, keep only North Africa. And take Asia mostly out. :D

I’m sure France and Germany can come to a reasonable and amenable agreement as to who owns Alsace-Lorraine and then they’ll just be best buds.

That’s exactly right, why should a stupid piece of land come between two best friends who fought each other many times since 1800….previous animosities have no effect on future relationships.
Just like Hitler and Stalin joining together 1939. Neither of them had any suspicion of the other and knew the 10 year pact would be able to be renewed. They must have figured the pact would last into 1979. It was so obvious right?
