| I did really love the diplomacy, research and production systems in the game. The only thing I question was allowing only one unit per hex and a corps being the maximum size unit.

A common house rule these days is limiting arty stacking to 6 guns per hex. I can go either way, just curious if our group wants to give that a try.

Thoughts?

| Yes, players can play a game as the side opposite to which they belong. These are called "maneuver" games. The only restriction is that the players only get half the normal points for those games. See rule 6.4.1.2 of the club rules. |
