Awesome job Jason.. I bought this a few months ago, but haven't touched it yet, because I hear it's a bear.

Like a Russian Bear!  8)

IN SOVIET RUSSIA, WORLD WAR ONE BEARS YOU!

...that didn't entirely work, but I thought it worth the effort.

There is a mechanic in the game (one of many many many subtle/hidden mechanics) called "the Russian Bear", where the game chooses one battle on the eastern front (so long as it isn't by the main army) and negates any national morale damage from it; and never counts national morale damage from battles down along the Armenian region.

This leads me to wonder if a productive strategy would be to switch the Russian main army to a stack down there asap.

This also reminds me I ought to try putting together docs on the special rules for each of the major and (where applicable) minor nations.

I can do the other AGEOD games, but this one is a different animal, so this will definitely help some of us take those baby steps to learning the game!  ;D

True, this isn't even the AGEOD engine, it's a boardgame conversion (by the guy who made the boardgame) to something kind of like the AGEOD system.

There might be a WW1 scenario for Pride of Nations, though, as it runs until 1920 and does have a worldwide scope unlike other AGEOD games (even moreso than WW1G, the scope of which is much larger than a quick look at the map would imply).

On the other hand, Pr0n is notoriously vainglorious about having its own problems, largely thanks to that same scope.
