Larry Harris 1914 Tournament Rules ( "potential rules" using his language)

The 17 hour game was Global 40. We played 1914 for 7 hours but it was never in doubt after about 4 hours or so.

@El:

What happens if Russia Revolution is declared and Finland is occupied by brithis units and rusian units?

The British units have one turn to get out of Finland.  If they don’t, they are removed from the board.

@El:

Can germany attack Finlad to take over Finland eventhoug is occupied with rusian troops?

No.  Neither side may move units into Russian-controlled territories.

@El:

Can british troops attack livonia which is occupied by germans?

That depends on what you mean by “occupied”.

If Germany controls Livonia, then yes.  The territory is considered to have no original controller for the rest of the game and is therefore up for grabs.

If Livonia is contested, then no.  Allied powers may no longer move units into territories shared between Russia and the Central Powers.

Historically Italy should not be considered at war until the start of I1, although A-H will probably decide to attack it anyway.

Nice job. I wish my wife would let me buy it, haha.  I think the beer is necessary for playing AnA!

On a side note: the 2 movement rule seems to better the central powers on the Eastern front but might allow the allies to put pressure on the Germans right away

It’s actually the other way around. Once you have played a few games you’ll see.

Kreighund never explained why this was introduced, when it appears to benefit the CPs only in limited movement through such tts. They would surely be better off being able to withdraw from them.

No, attacking a colony has no effect on the parent country.  For example, Spanish Morocco is a free pick up for France without any consequences.

That’s the idea - people at home are going without to pay for this vast army, and its just sitting there doing nothing.

Also, troops and sailors sitting in barracks getting bored are a breeding ground for mutiny and revolt.

@Flashman:

Thats a risk anyway, hence my suggestion that every player must make at least one mandatory attck each turn of no less than 5 units (if able).

That’s a pretty good idea and it plays into your morale system- you lose morale every turn right?
