Optional Rule 3:
Italy can join the war on the side of the Central Powers. Keep in mind that this might make the game unbalanced.

@CWO:
An easy rule of thumb is that 1 meter (100 cm) is about the same as 1 yard (3 feet).Â
A classic Simpsons joke on the subject is Grandpa Simpson’s statement that "The metric system is a tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that’s the way I likes it."Â 40 rods to the hogshead apparently works out to about 10-and-a-half feet per gallon.
Thanks Marc for the help and explanation. That is a fun way to represent both systems. :-D
-
Thanks for the pictures IL, this thing looks great and I can’t wait for it’s release, I will definitely be buying one plus a complete set of extra pieces if you still plan on doing that,
Thanks again for all of your hard work on this!
-
The pieces will be available at the same time as released. In addition, a number of the 6x4 maps in roll up will be offered for sale.
Lastly, there’s talk of metal forts and sea mine sets as a separate purchase.

Back in 1943, the French battleship Richelieu joined the Free French side and was sent to (I think) the New York Navy Yard for a major refurbishment. The poor American shipyard workers got all sorts of headaches from this project because they were accustomed to working in the US version of imperial measurements while the Richelieu’s plans and components – probably all the way down to the level of its nuts and bolts – used the metric system.

Does this game have an entry on BGG? I couldn’t find one. You should submit a request for an entry.
-
If someone could do that, it would be great. For some reason im not allowed too. :lol:
-
I asked them not to.
-
Thats probably best
-
Flashy always knows best.

How is the Italian Entry working in your game?
Hopefully not the same ahistoric Austrian attack on Venice like in AA1914… -
Italy enters on turn 3 but only at war with Austria till turn 6. They cant be attacked early. No way to balance the game unless you have it Historical in this case
-
IL, can I order two copys directly from you??
Can´t wait. Do we get a mounted map? Will there be a deluxe version with painted figures shown in your posted photos?
-
Cant order from me per se sorry.
Mounted map yes
Painted set no, but publisher promises to offer a larger map in roll up form, set of metal forts, sea mines, and whatnot.
-
Looks great!
Is there a release date? Location to buy/pre order? Estimated price for the game?
-
Don’t know date for release, price about $99
-
So what happens when Italy attacks a tt containing Austrian and German units - do the Germans just stand there and watch their Hapsburg cousins getting slaughtered?
I prefer both sides making secret bids for Italian support - highest bid get control of Italy but pays its bid in IPCs to the bank.
You could do this for minor neutrals on scheduled turns.
-
They cant and normally the Germans have other things to do than just sit in southern Austrian countryside.
Actually, here is the exact rules for that:
Italy rule:
Italy is only at war with Austro-Hungary when they enter the game on turn 3. They do not go to war and attack the other central powers until turn 6, although Italy may be attacked by any of the central powers and going to war early with all of them if that happens.Units entering coalition territory:
Ottoman units cannot enter Germany or Austria-Hungary
German units cannot enter Austria-Hungary till turn 6
French, English, Italian, or American units cannot enter Imperial Russia or vice versa.
