● During the August 14 pre-turn, a fortress taken has no blocking effect
during the August turn (that follows). This is an exception.
● If the siege lasts for at least 1 turn, crossing the region becomes
possible and costs 1 extra MP (as long as the siege lasts). The
blocking effect no longer applies.
Battle/Interdiction Regions – Ban
During the movement phase, units cannot enter a region where a battle
has already been fought by an activated friendly Army previously during
that turn. This is strictly FORBIDDEN, no matter whether this battle was
won or lost.
Exceptions:
This is nonetheless authorized in the case of a breakthrough, following
a battle, no matter which Army was victorious. Or if an Army moves a
second time, in “Reaction”, during the opposing turn. It may attack again
freely wherever it wants. Or, if the Enemy has carried out a Reaction
and wins a battle, you may attack the same region again (when it is your
game turn).
Example: in August 1914, the German I Army attacks the British Army at
Mons and is victorious. The II Army is then activated. It is strictly forbidden
for him to pass through Mons in August (except in the event of a
breakthrough).
Movement and Combat
Battles are resolved after the active player has selected to end of all of his
movements (or his activated Army/Armies in Army-by-Army mode).
Change of Army Assignment
It is possible to directly reassign independent units or units from one Army
to the activated Army, under 2 conditions:
1. It is not a unit belonging to a specific Army (with its number);
2. It ends its movement in the HQ’s range of command.
The opposite is also true, it is possible to send one or more units to
another Army (with a change of command). These units cannot then move
again (when this Army is activated).
● Reassignments are free beginning in August 1914.
● During the August Pre-turn, this is only possible between activated
Armies.
● Russia is an exception to both cases, beginning in September 1914.
● On the other hand, the players may not change their Army’s generals
during all of 1914. It is necessary to wait for the Interphase (in Winter
1914).
GHQ Reserve
In the same way, GHQ Strategic Reserve units may be activated and
directly assigned to an activated Army (and thus played) any time (except
during combat, it is 1 reinforcement per round).
HQ and the Enemy
An HQ may always place his reserve corps into the game, and this may
occur anytime (except during combat, it is 1 reinforcement per round).
36 World War One: La Grande Guerre 1914-1918
If the region, where a lone HQ (without units) is located, is captured, the
HQ must immediately attempt to retreat. If it cannot, it is destroyed, but it
returns to the game during the next Reinforcement phase.
GHQ Movement
Each GHQ has “6 MP”. Its strategic reserve units are moved with it of
course, even if their MP is less than 6.
A GHQ may move by foot or by rail. It may move during the Military phase
at the time of the activation of a Main Army (if playing in Army-by-Army
activation mode).
By rail, each unit in its reserve counts as 1 in its country’s railroad
capacity. The GHQ itself doesn’t count.
Moltke: the German GHQ (West) moves at the beginning of the turn, before
the activations of the German Armies. This is a penalty and ceases in
October 14, when Falkenhayn replaces Moltke at the GHQ.
10.3.4 Sea Transport
Units are transported from one friendly port to another friendly port. The
crossing costs 0 MP if the transport takes place in the same sea.
● It costs 1 MP to disembark in the arrival port region (no matter what
terrain). The transport uses 0 MP from port to port, in the same sea.
● No enemy interception is allowed in the region of the arrival port.
● Beyond one sea area, each transported unit has a -1 MP negative
effect per additional sea crossed; -2 MP for cavalry.
● Units transported by sea may then move, but they cannot voluntarily
initiate combat.
Sea transport procedure is detailed in the Naval Rules (section 14).
