0 productIon phase

Central Allies Skoda Works event card, allows the placement of Heavy Artillery counters in an area containing at least one land-supplied army (6.2.2.1). The Western Allies A3 technology also allows the placement of the Tanks counter in an area containing at least one land-supplied army. Once these counters are placed they follow all of the movement rules of an army. They may move to another area and count as one of the two allowable moves for their faction. Heavy Artillery and Tanks can advance or retreat normally as a result of combat.

6.3.4 Redeploy the Stosstruppen Marker:

If the A3 Stosstruppen Technology has been developed, redeploy the marker in any area containing a land-supplied German army (6.2.2.1).

6.4 land movement restrIctIons

Friendly units may not move into or through enemy controlled areas (6.1.2). If you want to move into an enemy controlled area, even one that is currently unoccupied by enemy armies, your armies must attack that area during your Combat Phase.

6.4.1 German Pride: Units belonging to the Central Allies faction may not conduct any movement into or through any German Home Areas. Central Allies units may retreat into a German Home Area if there is no other eligible available area and they may advance after combat normally if they have successfully recaptured a German Home Area. If a Central Allies unit resides in a German Home Area at the beginning of their movement phase, they may move through or out of such areas as long as their destination is not another German Home Area.

6.4.2 Impassable Areas: Areas that are unnamed (e.g., the black area that is obviously Switzerland) are impassable. Units may never be moved into or through these areas.

6.4.3 Neutral Nations: Nations that have not yet entered the game (10.2) are considered neutral and impassable as well (Exception: 10.2.3 – Special Neutral Nations.) All Western Allies faction units (Exception: 6.5.1.2), as well as units of the United States, are eligible to use Sea Movement. Their units may be “moved” through sea areas to friendly controlled areas. Great Britain’s armies may conduct an Amphibious Invasion (7.3) in enemy controlled areas using Sea Movement. The origin and destination areas for Sea Movement are limited to the following areas, each marked with an “anchor” symbol on the map: United States, British Isles, Belgium, Paris, Somme, Southern France, French Alps, Northern Italy, Rome, Greece, Sinai, Basra and Gallipoli. Units must start and end the move in an eligible area.

Of the two Western Allies moves permitted during this phase, only one may be a sea move. The United States may make one strategic move (which may be a sea move) per turn and the other Eastern Allies nations may still make their normal two strategic moves.

6.5.1 Army Sea Movement: Armies are moved through sea areas when moving from an eligible friendly controlled area to another eligible friendly controlled area.

6.5.1.1 Near East Restriction: The British MEF and IEF in the Near East may not be moved out of the Near East theatre unless Turkey is conquered, except as a result of defeat and naval evacuation (7.2.6).

In other words, the MEF and IEF are restricted to operations in the Turkish square areas (plus Basra and Sinai) but may, of course, attack into Anatolia. Once Turkey is conquered, there are no further restrictions.

6.5.1.2 Heavy Artillery and Tanks Restriction: Heavy Artillery and Tanks units may not use Sea Movement or participate in Amphibious Invasions.

6.5.2 Amphibious Invasions: Moving an army via Sea Movement into an eligible enemy controlled area is an Amphibious Invasion (7.3).

6.5.3 The Black Sea: Sea moves may be made through the Black Sea to Romania, Ukraine and Kiev if, and only if, both the Anatolia and Gallipoli areas are controlled by the Triple Entente player.

Important Note: Great Britain is the only country that can Refit their combat units by sea. French, Italian and USA units may use Sea Movement to get to Greece, Sinai, Basra, Gallipoli, Romania, Ukraine and Kiev, but once they become Spent they can never Refit.

6.6 naval unIt movement

The Germany faction may reposition its U-Boat units to either of the two Strategy boxes on the map each turn. Germany and the Western Allies faction may move their fleet units to the Blockade box from their respective Home Port box.
