When an Army is activated, one or more units may carry out an
“administrative” movement.
● The units’ movement potential is doubled. In the case of rainy
weather, a -1 effect on the MP is calculated before doubling the MP.
● All movement must be carried out in friendly territory or territory that
has been conquered for a full turn (behind the front).
● Units are not permitted to move into contact with enemy units, except
across a major river or through a city or fortress. They may be in
contact upon departure, but they must move away as soon as
possible.
● Units using administrative movement cannot use rail, nor convert rail,
nor move by sea. They may only move by foot, doing nothing else.
An HQ (and its reserve) may make an administrative move, but in this case
its Army cannot carry out any attack during the same turn.
The GHQ (and its reserve) may never make an administrative move. Its
movement ability always stays at 6 MP.
10.3.6 Movement by Rail
During the movement of units, the player is allowed to move a certain
number of units by rail. This movement is carried out only along friendly
railroads.
The number of units authorized to move by rail is limited by nation and also
according to the capacity of the used sections.
● It is necessary for a unit to be on a rail region at the beginning of its
turn.
● The unit must be in supply at the beginning of its rail movement.
● The unit “uses” 2 MP if it embarks the train in a city or town and
disembarks in another city or town. Otherwise, the unit uses 3 MP
(Add 2 MP for cavalry.)
● If the rail move is for 20 regions or more, add 1 MP.
● An Off-map box is worth 20 regions.
● An enemy ZOC never prevents rail movement.
● The unit cannot enter neutral territory, unless it has access to it (See
diplomatic rules).
Rail and Interception: a stack moving by rail cannot be intercepted, even in
the region where it disembarks the train.
Rail Capacities
Rail capacity limits are as follows:
● Distance: The unit may move 40 regions Maximum by rail, no matter
what the terrain or weather in force.
● Railroad capacities: The maximum number of units (corps, artillery,
etc) which may move by rail is limited by country and by turn. For
instance, in 1914, we have:
GB Egy Ger Fra A-H Rus Ita Tur **minors
1914 14 1 20 14 11 10 9 6 3
**minors: Serbia, Romania, Greece, Bulgaria, Belgium, Holland.
● Allied Countries: Countries on the same side may use each others’
the rail network, deducting the rail capacity from the owning country’s
capacity (ex. the British and the Americans may use the French
network in France, deducting from France’s capacity).
● A transported HQ or GHQ counts as 0, but each unit placed in its
reserve counts normally.
Railroad Section Limits
A section linking 2 cities or towns cannot have more then 5 units pass over
it, during the same turn.
In addition, certain sections have a reduced capacity. The number of units
that may pass is indicated by a number (1–4) in a grey circle within the
region picture in the main interface.
Footnote: When this number equals 2 or 1, the supply by rail capacity is
reduced also as already indicated.
Remember: A rail “section” is that which is between 2 cities or towns.
Railroad Conversion
On sprite On button
To use a captured enemy railroad (for movement and supply), it is first
necessary to “convert” it to the standard railroad of one’s side (and repair
damages and the inferred sabotages suffered).
