Movement into mobilized aligned neutral

There is only one movement phase in this game (before combat), so movement of units by the same power after combat is not possible in any case.

@TheDude:

the second sentence is intended ONLY for contested territory?

Yes.

Arab irregulars or “Lawrence of Arabia” are regularly voted the number one most requested set for new 1/72 plastic figures.

The nearest you can get are the old Airfix Arabs:

With L of A supposedly appearing in the Esci set:

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.

Larry posted this on his site yesterday. Latest clarification to the 2 move concept.

How about this…

All land units (infantry, artillery, and tanks) can move up to two territories. They can move into friendly territories to reinforce them, contested territories to battle for them, or hostile or neutral territories to attack them.

Land units that begin their turn in friendly territories can move up to two territories, but they must end their movement if and when they enter a contested territory. However, they may not move into a hostile or neutral territory unless they began the turn already adjacent to such a territory. In other words, they may move only one space to enter hostile or neutral territories. Such land units can also be moved by transport, in which case they may either be transported to any territory within range or remain at sea.

Land units that are moved out of a contested territory can only be moved to an adjacent territory. The adjacent territory being moved into must have been controlled by the moving player at the beginning of his turn or contained units belonging to him. They can also be moved by transport, in which case they may either be transported to a territory within range that meets those same requirements or remain at sea.

You can evacuate a contested tt, but not use such a move to attack. The tt you move to must contain one of your own units (allies do not count).

It says that in mobilize units, if you have a tt with other land units but no infantry, you must demote one unit to an infantry to fulfill the “minimum 1 inf” criteria.

It is sensible to enforce this after movement as well if you spot the enemy has made such an error.

In essence, this is what the game is all about. Allies have to balance the advantages of mutual defence against the need for large one-nation forces in attack.

It looks like an infantry and artillery grind.  I am already wondering how my purchase patterns will have to shift; Also, this style of long, fairly indecisive engagement could work well with the naval battles.  I wonder if things there will be similar.  It would make a “Battle of Jutland” type of thing almost inevitable.
