Indeed. The Central Powers and winning in the game, Russia already capitulated (revolution).
Italy active on turn 1... What?

@AdmirlScuttlebut
Yes turn two is the turn Italy must enter if playing this variant. I think it dovetails nicely with The Good Captains ideas. -
@AdmirlScuttlebut After some thought about a historic start date for Italy it would have to be, Italy neutral on turn 1 and Austria Hungary can’t break their neutrality until turn 2. This is the only way to allow Italy to build some additional units before it has to face a AH invasion which is the favored tactic in the OOB game. I am going to start another thread to introduce another of my pet peeves about A&A 1914.

@GabeNASA I like this idea!

@AdmirlScuttlebut a turn 1 invasion of Italy by AH is not a standard move by any means. I used to think so but then again CP used to lose most of the games. The standard move is for AH to crush Serbia and Romania turn 1 focusing their army towards Russia - not towards fighting Italy. It’s easier to fight defensively against the Italians in the early turns and better to focus down Russia, you’ll need the units I promise !

i think I might have confused you with GabeNASA in my comments. If this caused any confusion I apologize.
