@The_Good_Captain Thank you for your reply! I understand what you are saying and it can sometimes be very difficult to stick to a strategy after being crushed by the enemy (haha). I expect that other people have tried this strategy before, it’s just fun trying it myself with hope of finally winning as the Central Powers without having to play for days, or even weeks, just to achieve the edge over the opponent.

@VictoryFirst I am currently playing against DoManMacgee and then I will be playing against Ragnell804, but then I can verse you, l’ll let you know when.

I am considering pre-ordering this game, is it worth it?

@feaborn are you selling the miniatures as well?

@DoManMacgee Yeah that’s fine, I don’t mind if the RR isn’t triggered. Do I just add the Russian income the previous turn onto the German IPC count?

@DoManMacgee Yes, only the Out Of Box rules, including the Russian Revolution.

I am wondering if/where I can buy extra national pieces and markers like Canadian or Vichy france

@DoManMacgee I’m not gonna waste anymore of your time, I concede defeat. The Entente are too large even If Bombay is captured and if the Ottomans are rescued. Thank you for the games, it’s back to the drawing board for this strategy. I just need to make a few modifications but I think it could work still.

@barnee Thanks

@King_Of_Tanks Mis-reading the rules really was the blunder that I made.

Had to do a bit of editing for the ottomans to move units into Constantinople without fighting the Russians. I usually play on a board so I may be making moves that make no sense because I cannot comprehend where all the pieces are on the board.

@DoManMacgee Yeah that’s fine, I don’t mind if the RR isn’t triggered. Do I just add the Russian income the previous turn onto the German IPC count?

@King_Of_Tanks Also, I wasn’t sure how to edit the IPCs so I thought I’d let you transfer the Russian IPCs to the Germans (If I have my rules correct).

I forgot to edit out the German units from Kamerun and Livonia so I just edited them back in along with the entente casualties after they battled

@DoManMacgee hmmm, I just realised you edited out the Russians, If you are able to edit them back in then we could keep playing, but if not then I guess we just end the game. What do you think?

@DoManMacgee I guess we play on until the conditions are met, being that the Central Powers must “control” three adjacent territories. Though when the armistice is offered again I will likely turn it down.

@DoManMacgee The Central Powers “accept the offer”.

@DoManMacgee I’d take the hits as 11 infantry and 1 artillery by the Austrians and 2 artillery by the Germans
