Axis and Allies 1914, Amphibious Assault do enemy ships need to be destroyed

@Running-Away Per page 22 of the rulebook, units of another power may be transported only if that power is friendly. Per page 12, the US is not considered to be either friend or enemy to any other power while it remains neutral. Therefore, the US cannot transport units belonging to any other power while it is neutral.

@Krieghund

Good to know.

@Krieghund

Thank you so much!

@arreghas I already have the required ‘Cargo Ships’ in 8 colours so I don’t need to look at another version.

I’ve created a separate thread for my work on the OOB 1914 map. Please go here to discuss it in more detail.

@debjyoti1981 said in Axis & Allies WW1 Units Shortage:

With the initial set-up of Germany & France, I’ve noticed, in case of Germany, no infantry units remained after initial game set-up. It seems this will become a serious issue when following situations will arise:

Invasion of hostile territory will require an Infantry unit An army in a territory must contain at least one infantry unit (Rule-book Page 15 -Phase 2: Movement) Contested situation will require 1 infantry unit

This situation will become more critical at the European theater, I’ve noticed at the end of the initial set-up two countries hugely affected with unit shortage would be British Empire & Germany, as by the time all infantry units will be used up.

I had already mailed the Support team, this is what they have to say:

Hello,

Thanks for contacting Wizards of the Coast Customer Service! Unfortunately we no longer support A&A 1914, our Product Replacement team no longer has pieces for this version of the game. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Where can the additional set be brought? At ebay.com did not find replacement set for Germany, UK & Austria-Hungary

I think I’ll point out one issue you may have missed:
If you move all of your units out of a territory you control, you still retain control of that territory until an enemy moves into and captures it. (A&A 1914 Rule Book, pg 15).

This means that you do not need to maintain infantry in every territory you control. Now you do have to keep infantry in territories where you otherwise have troops, An army in a territory must contain at least one infantry unit. (A&A 1914 Rule Book, pg 15). But if you pull everybody out, you don’t need to leave a trail of infantry behind.

I’m not saying that A&A '14 has all of the pieces it should have, but the piece shortage is exacerbated when you leave garrisons behind when you don’t need to.

My 2 IPCs,

Actually The King of Greece was married to the Kaiser’s sister and was more inclined to support the central powers. It was only due to a allied supported civil war that pushed Greece over to the Allies.
