The Great War 1914-1918: Clash of Empires

@John:

Thanks Marc for the help and explanation. That is a fun way to represent both systems. :-D

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.

I bet, LOL. I know I would have one for sure. :-D

:-D    Thanks for the info!

Does this game have an entry on BGG? I couldn’t find one. You should submit a request for an entry.

I asked them not to.

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…

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?

Looks great!

Is there a release date? Location to buy/pre order?  Estimated price for the game?

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.

Can Allied units enter Russia to fight the Bolsheviks after the November Revolution?

Not very historical without that.

You can’t just make Russia “off limits” because it had a revolution. Germany and the Allies were still very much involved in Russia after 1917.

Its one of those unhistorical game conventions, like America buying units before it declares war.

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.

German units cannot enter Austria-Hungary till turn 6

Not so historical when you think of the german Alpenkorps. Although Germany and Italy were not at war until 1916, the Alpenkorps was immediately dispatched to reinforce the thinly occupied front line in the Dolomite mountains. It did not undertake offensive actions, but defended the front against repeated attacks by the Italian Alpini until Austria was able to extract enough forces from the eastern war theatre and relocate them to the new front.

It would be better when German units cannot enter Italy till turn 6 but why shouldnt they help prevent the collapse of Austria Hungary? Historically german units helped their austrian buddies on Eastern front in Galicia in 1915 already, think of Mackensens 11th army at Gorlice Tarnow (located in Austrias Galicia)
