I changed my mind on some British purchases.
Also, considering the conditions for revolution were met, why did you capture Moscow anyway? Didn’t you say we were playing with those rules?

@superbattleshipyamato holy smokes. I’ve played over 40 games of 1914 in the last year and you def have the hottest consistent dice I’ve seen playing this game. That attack on the Ottomans went +4 UK / -5 Ottoman. hah!
As regards the Revolution. Yes, we are playing with it. Technically, Russia offered (keyword) an armistice at the end of their last turn. The CP declined the offer. Normally, the Russian player announces the offer when they post on the turn in which the conditions are met and then the CP post their response when they post the following German turn.
A note regarding mines - TripleA will allow you to move ships one at a time into the zone but this is not technically allowed by the rulebook so the way we all handle it is: if you’re going to move into a minefield, make it the last movement on your turn and if possible move them all in together, otherwise its the honor system which is okay too.

Rules reference for Revolution from the official errata: "The second and third sentences of the second paragraph should read “As a consequence of this, an armistice is immediately offered to the Central Powers. If this armistice is declined by any of the Central Powers players, it does not occur, and the game continues as normal, with no change in the operations of Russia as a power (the revolution can only occur once per game). However, if the armistice is accepted by all of the Central Powers players, it occurs immediately and effectively removes Russia from the war, and the game. All Russian units outside of original Russian territories are immediately removed from the board, and Russia will no longer have a turn.”

Crap… the Central Powers can refuse it? Ah well, I guess that was in their power historically.

Thanks for clarifying.

Which side do you think the game is biased toward?
I was unaware that the Allies had some really lucky rolls in this game. Thanks for bringing that to my attention (so I would know that this isn’t the norm).
-
Oh right, I changed my mind after the fact that I would be loading two French infantry, not one infantry and one artillery to attack Kiel. I changed my mind before the battle started.

The game appears to be significantly biased towards the Entente. However, it takes quite a bit of experience playing the game to make this obvious or to have this become obvious.
Not a big deal at all - its more like the CP aren’t hitting their numbers in a baffling way although the Entente numbers are warm. In any case, no biggy at all. This is more of a learning game I feel.
Another small heads up: when the French captured Kiel, the mines turned French as well (use the edit mode). This means the British have the option of moving in and reinforcing kiel on their turn without the threat of mine attack. Now that it is contested, it reverts back to a German minefield.

Again, no worries. Learning game. I’m having a lot of fun and hope you are too. And I am very appreciative of learning about those aligned neutrals. A lot of us had that wrong. But in yours, mine and all of our collective defense, the rulebook for 1914 is perhaps the least clear and poorest written in all of axis and allies imo (still a great game imo). I hear the re-release will have it tuned up though.
-
No worries. Yeah the rules are not the best.
-
-
Thanks for editing the mines.
Curious that you only start to realise the game is biased towards the Allies after you play many times.
In my personal games against myself, the Central Powers sometimes win, but only with bad decisions by the Allies. Like you said, I’m not sure whether it was because of bad rolls of the dice.

In Kiel, the French attacked and I feel fairly certain you didn’t mean to do this? So I edited the French inf and German inf back in to that territory. Just to be clear, you’re not obligated to attack in a contested zone and if you don’t want to attack in a contested zone you can just edit out your pieces prior to combat and edit them back in afterward. I’m working with another newish player on 1914 and can’t remember what I went over with who so if you didn’t know that, my apologies.
In the upcoming Italian turn for example - if you don’t want to attack with the Italians, go into the EDIT mode under the Game tab at the top and select and remove both italian pieces. Do the rest of your movements, combat, and then when you’re in the “non-combat” movement phase (which exists only in TripleA for this purpose-there is no NCM in 1914), replace the pieces and move on with your turn.
