Two-space movement of land units is allowed only in the Tournament Rules.

I don’t agree with Shakespeare’s point but I definitely agree that these games are leaving a lot to be desired. Not just from a rules perspective but from a piece perspective. Battle board is tiny. No money and lack of German infantry and chips for both sides. I have played with the new tournament rules however and do love them. If you have the game Shakespeare give them a shot I really like them. I think you will too.

True, but it also represents the other German cruisers on the loose in the Pacific, South Atlantic & and Indian Oceans that cannot be represented. These were a serious concern for the Allies until eliminated.

1914 Italians look like Japs.

1914 Russians look like 1940 Italians.

I do wish they would keep the same colors,

BUT…i do love the new UK color over the old UK

I like many things about it and dislike some things.
Last game I bought was 2nd Edit Global, so not much to play/consider as I had 1st Edit. I can plan, write up and generally waste my time on this one.

Will PM you  later tonight when work is quiet.

Turkey does not have enough time for adventures in Africa, nor units to push through to India.

Its main effort will, I think, always be to fight the southern sector of the Eastern front. Activate Bulgaria, reinforce, move through to Romania, threaten Sevastopol. In the south it will be hanging on against the UK, nothing more.

All 24 pages of them!

Here’s an idea Shakespeare; stop stealing the Admin’s show and actually ASK him if you can post such information.

You know, he runs this site, puts in the effort to show us everything, and then someone comes along and spoils his work. Not very nice.

TVW, also dealing with a similar issue on another forum.

Why is the only historical stuff we get the things that are useless, like infantry in every territory or destroyers not being present, while they leave out things like battlecruisers, gas attacks, and the Konigsberg?

Presumably, unlike fighters, they can return to base after a mission.

I would give them a range of 8, so that a Zep can bomb London from Germany.

They could bomb Canada from Brest.

They could even bomb Washington from Spain.

Just noticed that the designer of Diplomacy died recently:

Perhaps he Kieled over when he saw what Larry, Curly and Mo did to the map.

Larry said no GAS.

When this hits our table there will be Gas Rules. :evil:

Old Dwarf, does your group eat to many coney’s in Jersey?

Jersey Gas Rule:
Lift a cheek and say gas attack, and the enemy loose 3 inf LOL

I put the word “Rules” to try to head off the obvious comments :-D
but it is a small game room however Beer belches are more the norm.

@urmomsmom7:

I think they are trying to say that since England doesn’t get an NO for no German subs on the board it doesn’t give Germany the need to build subs and in general building units towards England

That makes partial sense.  I still think you need submarines for Germany, but a lot less.  Before you needed 4 in SZ 109, 2 in SZ 106, 2 in SZ 82.  Now you need 2 in SZ 109, 1 in SZ 106 and 1 in SZ 82 to get almost the same results as before.

What the change does, however, is weaken England to the tune of 5 IPC a round.  There’s not a bat’s chance in hades that England and America are putting units in Paris until the game is already over (but the axis won’t concede).  Essentially, what Larry did, was to remove 10 IPC a round from the Allies give the Axis a significant boost in buying power in relation to the what the Allies used to get.

It also means that the Allies dont ahve to go beserk trying to kill every submarine on the board too.

You only use a movement point when you cross a boundary between spaces.  Taking off from or landing on a carrier does not involve crossing such a boundary because both the carrier and plane are both in the same sea zone.

Thank you again.

These are listed on page 32 of the Europe Rulebook.

Yes, it’s correct.  You can mobilize up to three units from the IC in the same turn that it’s upgraded, and up to ten units starting in the following turn.

Destroyers allied to the attacker do not negate defending subs’ abilities because they are not in the battle.

Thanks again!!

Thanks for the speedy reply!
