Larry Harris’ Axis & Allies WWI 1914 Tournament Rules

@Slip-Capone If you need a player I’ve been dying to get back into axis and allies. If you have triple a I’m available.

@DoManMacgee Totally agree with your thoughts. I also thought that Russia just needed to do something to throw the CPs off their game. In regards to the 1 Inf, I think its just an annoying move people made so the opponent couldn’t just grab free IPCs, but I’ll check with some of the other players to make sure that rule was understood right.

Well I’ll be continuing playing A&A for as long as possible.  Getting a job is going to make me have significant less time.

I don´t need a strategyguide for the Allies ,because they win all the times.

What I really need is some input for playing the Central Powers especially Austria and the Ottomans.

You should impose a 15 turn maximum for each game, to prevent players from farming points to much.

There should be national objectives which nets players points. However, anyone can get them, which makes for a king of the hill style game.

E.G:
+1 point to whichever player controls Berlin at the end of the game (If its contested, nobody gets it)
+0.1 points for every IPC you collected during the final phase of the game
+1 point whenever you conquer an enemy capital (one time only, for each player)
-1 point when you suffer from economical/political collapse (one time only, for each player)
Etc.

Yes.

That might make sense.  Either that, or have contesting the capital as a precondition to checking for them.  However, in all three cases, the situation was caused by sneaky moves of troops to places just big enough to cause them to be contested, which is why I suggested giving the country the entirety of its turn to try to correct the situation (like in WWII games of A&A when a capital is captured).  As it was, we sent armies on suicide missions right before the turn of the country in question just to trigger the collapse, even though the moves would otherwise NEVER have been made (like sacrificing a considerable army just to have 1-2 units survive, thereby contesting a territory).

My quoting of that post was to show why this statistical endeavor misses the point of the discussion of the rule change. Therefore it applies to this thread.

Nope.
