Movement into mobilized aligned neutral

@TheVeteran

It sure was!

Thanks Carolina.
We left it Neutral the whole game. It meant Itaky was denied the cash, which was fine by me. More importantly, it left Austria master of the Balkans amd the nearby territories.
We also played that India could only build 4 units. That was another proposition all together. The Turks consistently made 16 income , so kept them in the game. India even looked threatened on T3!
We will play the same rules next time. Was fun.

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.

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.

I wanted to give the poor Yanks something to do…

Actually I don’t suppose the U.S. and Italy are allowed to control non-aligned neutrals until they are at war.

Question: if Austria attacks Albania R1 (but doesn’t attack Venice) does this automatically mean a state of war between Austria and Italy, or just that Italian units are used to defend Albania?

If the latter, Austria could use this loophole to annihilate Albanian units before they have any chance to be supported from Italy. Not that Albania is likely to be worth much - 1 IPC if that.

It seems strange that Italy cannot transport units to Albania without engaging the Austrian navy; in reality Italy blockaded the Adriatic across the narrows between Apulia and Albania.

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.
