Hitler Assassination

WWI 1914 is an under-appreciated A&A game that is one of my favorites. These house rules make a much more historical game while keeping it simple. Feedback is welcome.

@SuperbattleshipYamato I have played a few games and though the Axis can initially worry the Allies , (I thought I would lose ), I have always been able to keep the income gap and , as the game progresses, it opens up much more .
I don’t believe , The Allies don’t need help in this game, if the players are equal ability.

Here is a quicker version of Anniversary using the pacific theater and making it a two-player game. This is based off of the 1942 scenario. For balance, the UK is converted to USA territories and units. Place a USA marker in each friendly UK territory and change UK units to USA units. USA and Japan earn bonus income if they own territories and islands listed below.

For players who have questions to the Game Mechanisms of the G40 HRE game, we draw attention to the fact that this thread explains what is “Behind the Scenes”.

See the top of the first post in this thread for further information.

We’ll gradually add more Information & Explanations about the remaining Units & Rules in the G40 HRE rulebook.

We have posted a comment on Naval Production and Naval Battles at the Strategy Guide thread.

@The-Captain

Yea Trprts really are the key for the most part. That and Convoy as you stated above. I do like CVs for defense, even if no planes on them. gives that 1 hit soaker without messing up a landing spot.

As you point out though, it’s about money. You can only do so much and at the end of the day, boots on the ground is what it takes to win.

Thanks for the insight.

Edit

The Captain says above
because the cost of producing high value Naval units compromises the production of land units that can capture valuable territories elsewhere.
