Daryl Anderson - Apr 13, 2006 11:29 am (#1018 Total: 1022) Questions about "1914: Opening Moves" The excitement about the new look and new issue is palpable here but I'm, as usual, a tad behind the times. I'm just getting to own and appreciate some of the earlier PZ games - in this case "1914". Since there does not seem to be a separate forum for the game please pardon my interruption with some questions about this oldie: CITIES: I understand the role of fortress hexes... but do the marked cities play any role in the game - no mention that I can find in the rules. RETREATS & Displacement: I'm not sure when a retreating unit displaces the friendly in the hex it is entering (rules XII) and when it retreats an additional hex (rules IX). thanks for your help Daryl Gary Graber - Apr 13, 2006 8:25 pm (#1021 Total: 1022) Click on "Pzsk 15 components.jpg" in header for pic! Daryl, in answer to your 1914: Opening Moves questions: "CITIES: I understand the role of fortress hexes... but do the marked cities play any role in the game - no mention that I can find in the rules." Correct, cities have no effect. "RETREATS & Displacement: I'm not sure when a retreating unit displaces the friendly in the hex it is entering (rules XII) and when it retreats an additional hex (rules IX)." Displacement in Rule XII applies to defending units retreating due to DR combat results; "retreating an additional hex" in Rule IX applies to attacking units forced to retreat due to AR combat results.
