If you have a lot of time, maybe you can analyze two games I played against myself.

I um, didn’t follow some of the rules, but it’s mostly correct. The second one used low luck.
What did both sides do wrong and right? Did low luck help the Central Powers, or was it simply that they were extremely lucky to trigger the Revolution in turn 4?

First, when Rome fell, the mine in the adjacent waters flipped control to the Austrians and so the American units that entered the sea zone should have all had to roll for mines. I forgot to make the edit when I captured the capital but just an FYI going forward.
The other note - and this is okay bc its a learning game - but going forward, you’ll want to try to avoid changing moves from previous turns. In this case, swapping the French out of Venice and into Tuscany and then having the Americans take Tuscany. Again we will go with this for this game but in case you did not know this - that American army is now stuck there on its turn. Units in a contested zone can only move to adjacent zones their individual power owns OR a territory that has at least one of their powers pieces in it. All the zones around the Americans are from other powers and there are no American units adjacent in the territory so they will just be stuck there next turn. This is a small rule that bites players time and time again. So just a heads up.

I will try to get to these but this will take time and I’m a bit short on that these days.
-
That’s all right. Take your time.
-
Wait, what? I thought that you could withdraw from a contested zone into a friendly power’s territory. Didn’t know I needed a unit there.
Crap, I got so many rules wrong.

From page 15 of the rulebook, “Land units that begin the turn in contested territories can only be moved to territories that are controlled by your power, or to territories that are also contested and already contain units belonging to your power.”
-
@superbattleshipyamato so the rule is actually more specific than I even realized as the only two conditions for movement out of a contested zone are a territory of the same power OR an adjacent CONTESTED zone with units of the same power - a friendly adjacent territory with a unit of your power is not legal as I mentioned previously.
-
That’s absolutely crippling for Britain and America. No wonder you only have the British on defense.
-
Wait, I meant defence, not defense, sorry.
-
Sorry, I missed that. I’ve been overlooking quite a lot of stuff.
