If France activates Albania on F1 can Italy use the Albanian troops to attack Trieste or Serbia on I1?

Just got a response from them. I was polite but a bit greedy when it came to number of pieces requested.

Thank you for contacting us regarding your missing game pieces. Unfortunately, we are unable to place an order for the number of pieces requested, however. I have placed an order for 2 additional units of every type, for every country, as well as more chips and a new game board. You should receive it within 10 to 15 business days depending on your local postal services. We appreciate your understanding in this matter and please feel free to contact us with any other questions or comments.

I found that moving all the German units into Belgian Congo is a very effective strategy. It forces the Allies to group up and attack you which either results in their complete annihilation or leaves them so weak that the Ottomans will just storm the whole continent with minimal effort

@oztea:

I don’t understand why the cut in the boards runs from north west to south east.
It should instead run through North Africa, the Med, and Ukraine.
The Belgian roundel never matches up right……

Agreed, I don’t think the board should run right through the most important and crowded front of the war.

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.

The game wants you to attack Switzerland as Germany, only 2 units defending and you can bring that stack of 11 infantry from Munich into it and be in Burgundy the next round

When I played I took out the British fleet in the North Sea on Germany’s first turn. Britain spent the next 4 rounds building a fleet big enough to match the German fleet that I had been

stacking up in Kiel by 1 Battleship per turn. Russia had some damn lucky rolls in that it wiped out the German and Austro-Hungarian armies on the 2nd and 3rd rounds respectively and also had

air superiority.

@Makoshark13:

How does it compare to G40?

Not nearly as long, all the powers have a major impact on the game and you have to plan your strategies further in advance. Naval combat is actually more frequent than in G40 as naval units aren’t nearly as costly to produce and subsequentially, mines aren’t as devastating.

Triggering and causing a war are two different things. Franz Ferdinand’s assassination didn’t cause the war, it triggered it. Much like how the Zimmerman note triggered the war with the US

Air Superiority saved Russia in my game and pretty much took out Austria-Hungary as a fighting force on the Eastern Front
