I used a private photographer
And with his vast resources I was able to enlarge it…
I also vowed not to reveal this talent so he won’t
Get sued for copy right infringement

Ummm….

No…

When I use my rule changes the battles rage all over the map
Not one problem occurs…

Infact we had different territories change hands multiple times…

Russia actually stays in the war longer… (TURN 7)

The game moves much more efficiently. …

If you don’t try it…

Your missing out one one of the best war games
Ever written. .

That rule must be changed. … It’s historically inaccurate

In my games I have all the CP powers moving
And attacking together and it has not caused
One problem. …

Infact… It speeds up the game
And our games go longer…

My wargame group has played this game twice
Now with the allies and CP powers
Taking there turns togther and it is a blast

One game went 15 turns…

Game turn one starts off with each country taking its turn individually
As specified in the rules. …

Then I have the Central Powers take their turn together with the Allies
Taking their turn together. …

I strongly urge everyone make this change. …

You will fall in love with this game. …

This is not a problem just go to Historical board gamer.com I bought hundreds of pieces and I don’t use poker chips anymore…

Go to axisandallies.org facebook…

You can see where I enlarged the map

And not one poker chip was used !!!

I DID IT…

I HAVE PICS OF MY GAME

GO TO AXIS AND ALLIES . ORG ON FACEBOOK

IT’S AMAZING HOW MUCH EASIER IT IS TO POST PICS There!!!

Bow

THE GAME WENT 15 TURNS AND WAS A BLAST!!!

First…

Does anyone know how I can get a copy of the world war I map
that was updated by “Ramstien” the article was done under Axis and allies Customizations…

The map was done on vinyal and it looks “OUTSTANDING”

Second…

Tonight will be the fourth nite of Axis and allies W.W.I 1914…
at our club in Reading PA…(READING AREA WARGAMERS)

with the changes I made it has been a “BLAST”…

I stongly urge everyone to have the players move by sides…

start game turn one off as normal, each country taking their turns in order as specified in the rule book…

what this does is represent the countries mobilizing and initiating their prewar plans…

then when game turn two begins have the central powers execute their turn as a team first…

have Germany, Austria Hungry, and the Ottoman Empire all:

purchase/repair units, move, combat, mobilze, and collect income at the same time…

Then have the Allies do the same thing for their second half of their turn.

What this does is: Speed up the game, have big battles, the players
are all working togther and actively engaged…

I LOVE TO SEE WARGAMERS PLANNING OUT STRATEGY AND FORMUALTING SINISTER PLOTS AGAINST THE “OTHER SIDE”…

It also facilitates team building…

we start the 14th turn tonight and there have been battles that have raged back and forth all over the game board…

I also purchased extra pieces from Historical Board gamer and not one “POKER CHIP WAS USED” !!!

( I am a wargamer who only plays with toy soldiers!!! not poker chips)

also Is there any way other than media fire to up load pics…

question: for the Brits shouldn’t there be a “Cairo and an Alexadria” for their Army and Navy to operate out of the “Med.” just like Bombay in India?

we already know that Moscow is not the capital of Russia but St. Petersburg is… Should I make these changes…

My map that was enlarged was laminated so I could make stickers
and correct these problems…

YOUR COMMENTS PLEASE  :-)

How can I get one of your WW I 1914 vinyl maps
I had my map enlarged to twice it’s size and bought
Extra pieces so I don’t have to use those dreaded poker chips

We are playing world war I 1914 at my club in reading
Pennsylvania. …

And everyone loves the game with the changes I made

I am working on correcting the picture problem….

my War game Group is into the third week of playing  and we’ll be starting game turn 10 next week…

Russia was able to survive until game turn 7
Then the Russian revolution started…

Italy is still hanging tough and fighting for control of Rome.

The allies are moving forward and marching to Berlin. …

Next week should determine the game…

I 'm Very embarrassed to ask this how does mediafire work I was looking at it I tried to sign up for It… I’m confused because I have a  lot of nice pictures of the game I just did…

I enlarged  the game and with those extra pieces it really looks good… I want to show everybody

also I plan to run this at " Fall in" at Lanaster Pennsylvania in November. Fall in is a convention run by the historical miniatures game society HMGS East

I also don’t ever turn anyone away from a game I run all will be welcome to play Who show up

In our  game russia’s surviving……

right now austria-hungary is bogged down in a quagmire in Italy And Albania…

the Germans just took a mass of casualties on the Western Front and are bogged down…

France right now is trying to rally troops and build a reserve to save paris…

We start game turn 3 next week

the way I run the game is like this….

for game turn 1 I follow the turn sequence as specified in the rules…

this represents all the nations declaring war mobilizing and then movin out to conduct combat operations…

for game turn two I have all the countries that represent the Central Powers take their turn together once they’re done then I have all the countries that represent the Allies take their turn together…

this speeds up the game… we have big battles…all players are actively involved in the game when one side Is moving the other side is observing and then formulating a counter move.

what does does is build camaraderie within the club and has everybody working together and it’s fun

it works perfectly…and nobody is sitting around with nothing to do while waiting for their turn…

uh no….You need to reread your history…

The US didn’t want  US Soldiers Filling Depleted
French and British units.  Pershing under direct order
From Wilson demanded and pushed
For an independent US Army under
US Control… He did as an Ally release American units on the divisional level to help the French during the second
Battle of the Marne…

At Belleau Wood the Marines wrote a beautiful page in US military History and for their reward. … A most great full french ally renamed the Battle field… “the Wood of the Marine”

And further more “all together” is not to much… Every player is working together and not sitting around… I run games at conventions and what you don’t want is players sitting there waiting for their turn…

I have a picture of the game enlarged with all the pieces and not one poker chip was used… How do I posted here for all to see ?

I enlarged the axis and allies world war I game board by twice it’s size….  I also purchased all the pieces needed to play the game with out any chips… I also invented a house rule to be used starting on the second turn and to last for the whole game.
Where the allies and central powers take their turns together…
IT WORKED OUT GREAT AND EVERY BODY IN THE CLUB  LIKES
THE GAME. …M

Gentalmen thank you for your input I appreciate that and I’m going to go back and look through the rule book and see what it says but your obviously right….

My wargame buddies. And I really. Like this game…

When Larry Harris designed this game….

What does each actual piece represent? Example what does one inantry figure equate too?

Does an infantry figure equal a division? Does an artillery piece equal corp artillery…

When I see 6 infantry And 2 artillery is that equal to 2 infantry corps?

We already play tested and it seems to work fine….
Don’t get me wrong it needs more playtesting…

Yes gentleman it is a good game.  I plan to have the game enlarged and do away with all the poker chips and get more miniatures for it.  My goal is to run it at my war game conventions.
The one change I would like to see is for all the Allied nations to be able to attack together at the
Same time… it makes no sense to me that they could defend together why can’t they attack together.  There were many offensives were allied nations attacked together at the same time… :)

I would like to make a rule change for Axis and Allies World War 1 1914.  For game turn one
have each nation take its turn as stated in the rules. For the next game turns each each nation will move as an ally. In other words all of the Central Powers will take their turn then all the Allies taking their turn. I found this sped up the game.  All players were involved in the game instead of waiting for each player to take its turn. What I didn’t like allied nations could defend together but they cannot attack together.  This made no sense historically. There are many times allied nations went on the offensive together… your thoughts and comments please
