If less than 8 Players here are the recommended divisions of controlling nations

Hey folks,
I saw an old post (2014) by Soup76 about his 1914 reference cards, and I am wondering if they are still available, or anything similar?

Thanks!

I hope you both love 1940.

When 4 or 5, our daughter would beat my wife and me at Uno too. Funny! I think if you are a board gaming couple, you will be a family that plays too. Much more interesting than tv.

Sorry to hear that, I hope you do too. I really enjoy this game, even though it definitely has its flaws. It’s a completely different game from the WWII editions.

Austria has some tough decisions to make in the first Rounds. This will tell the story of the game.

British second
Germans third

We’ve had a lot of success with 4 players;

~Germany
~Austria/Turkey
~Britain/US (UK is huge, so the player doesn’t mind waiting through the US turns)
~Russia/France/Italy

We might also swap US for Italy in this setup.

And I agree, France IS boring, with only 1 real option. Stack the Western front and wait to get bailed out.

@Texas:

The biggest mistake I have seen is Germany contesting too many territories in the west.  You simply can’t produce enough infantry to sustain that.  I have found hitting hard through Belgium is effective while leaving Lorraine and definitely Switzerland alone.

I don’t know about that- hitting Switzerland gives you a lot of flexibility to hit Italy or Southern France.

I guess russia forgot that he should not let the enemy get in between him and his capital

Actually The King of Greece was married to the Kaiser’s sister and was more inclined to support the central powers. It was only due to a allied supported civil war that pushed Greece over to the Allies.
