Well, as far as the win/loss ratios go, I can see a lot depending on the timing of the Russian revolution vs. the entry of the US. Â The Russian revolution freed up a huge number of German troops for service on the Western front. Â Unfortunately for the Germans, they couldn’t redeploy them in time to take full advantage of it before the infusion of fresh US troops cancelled out the advantage.
Also, the German fleet, though smaller than the Royal Navy, was close enough to the same size to be a credible threat. Â But the addition of the US fleet pretty much shifted the odds enough to make a sortie into the Atlantic by the Kriegsmarine unfeasible. So any attempt to use the German fleet, the very existence of which was a major contributing factor to the tensions that started the war, would have to be made early.
By that time the Germans had pretty much given up on their surface fleet. They believed that the U-Boats could starve Britain into surrender before America could get organized, so they launched an unrestricted sinking policy knowing it would provoke the U.S.
There are several ways to balance in favour of the C.P. My suggestion is that only the CPs can attack neutrals; and only they can annex and collect income from occupied tt. The Allies can only liberate neutral tt, though it becomes friendly towards them afterwards.

Don’t worry they will
Well as long as they have anything to do with WotC, I agree with you.
What I am concerned about is if for example AA1914 has no zeppelins, ie long range strategic bombing, however inept it was,
as an asymmetrical counter to the Allies asymmetrical tanks
then all AA1914 will be is an AA1940 lite. Where is the verisimiltude of it being 1914?
Also, I can’t imagine a WWI game at the same scale as AA1940!
I believe you need a scale simiar to the original AAEurope map with double the land areas,
so at least there may be the illusion of or chance of manuevering.
If the Western front consists of 3 or 4 land areas between Switzerland and the North Sea as in AA1940
and you only have 1 round of combat, How is that the basis for a game?
I frankly don’t care about any campaigns in Africa nor the Pacific, give me the Western and Eastern Fronts.
Finally, please do the rules right the first time, I don’t want to see Alpha’s again.
There was no excuse for that and most importantly there was no need for that in Global 1940.
The 1 round of combat makes sense to convey the longer, more stalemate like atmosphere of the trench warfare. Tanks should be only 1 hit point better on attack as infantry, but just as slow movement wise and pretty expensive. This would make tanks only good for the power that can get a sizable economic advantage. The big things to consider are artillery, and troops. It is going to be very interesting to see how Larry takes these into account.
Why no 150th anniversary Civil War game?
There was, it was released back in April of 2011 and it was called Battlecry, I bought and have played several games of it, it’s quite good.
That is a fun game! I dont own it, but i play it online. Not bad. It is a tactical game.
What I am concerned about is if for example AA1914 has no zeppelins, ie long range strategic bombing, however inept it was,
Triple A had “The great war”. It had Zeppilins, calvary, ect. You should try it.
