Ice was kind enough to write a “1st time players guide” for Great War.

hope this helps everyone, please see the .doc attached

[lexgreat]

must have missed something, thought it was middle earth

[Veqryn]

middle earth is round 5

we are on round 4, which is great war

[lexgreat]

right, was the last one

[Narushima]

How are air units supposed to get out of North America? Am I missing something?

[Veqryn]

i think they can not, and you must build them in the “usa declares war” territory….

i’ve never played the map before, so i’m probably not the best reference

[ice]

indeed, making air in usa is useless,

my suggestion is that u play ur noob card and ask them to be edited into whatever u agree on, other units or money.

im sure if ur opponent is fair he wont deny

Aircraft carriers are not available?

@Funcioneta:

Not in WWI, I believe those were first built in the late 1920’s.

Well actually I didn’t build any yet, that’s why I asked.

I just learned something VERY important for Great War

Cairo and Istanbul are CANALS!!!

sz66 and sz67 connect if you hold cairo

and

sz62 and sz63 connect if you hold istanbul

AND they ALWAYS connect for air units (just like normal maps)

(i’ll add that to the game notes and make a little symbol on the map for it… but until next version you won’t see it, so just remember this!)

I’d be interested in looking at this game. Where is it posted?

By the way, apparently several people don’t realize that there is a connection between Istanbul and the Aegean Sea. There have been at least two games (including my own) where Istanbul was left undefended, but Britain didn’t bother to take it.

Finally, after 31 Rounds of intense fighting, after the last Russian troops were shattered together with the majority of Sir Lawrence Expeditionary Corps, with Paris being surrounded by Austrians and a breaktrough in the back of the Western Front, with Ottomans expeditionary forces on their way to reinforce Austrians, with Germany gaining the offensive on the Western Front and the Med more or less still in CPs hands, the Supreme Headquarter of Allied Forces (Wassmuss) asked for a immediate cease fire. The Combined Imperial Staff (wirkey) has given order to hold positions and treat all enemy personal with respect and according to the Geneva Conventions. With beginning of the 20th hour of the 27th day of the first month, there will be no more fighting.

MIR, seeing as how you guys didn’t make it past the first round of turns, (noll didn’t even play at all), I am going to try to get you a new opponent.

Unless we are unable to find you an opponent for Great War, I can not give you a “win” just yet.

Sorry if you are a little disappointed.  Whole point is to get people playing the maps after all.

It’s really not fair of you to arbitrarily deprive me of a win.

A forfeit is a forfeit, whether it’s in the first round or the thirty-first.
