reverse action ?

What if, when u start a game, u, apart from the choice u now have, also could choose normal och reverse action order.

Normal is what u all know, first u deploy, then u attack, the u fortifi.

If u instead start by fortifi, move u armys around, then attack and then receiv new armys due to the number of country u have at the end of u turn, and then u place the armys and the the turn is over.

That would give a more aggressive play, would it not?

This idea is not well thought through, but just what to know what u think about it.

Interesting idea! I don't know how well it would work but it would make for an extremely different type of game

the problem im seeing is that people can be wiped out so easily within one turn.
Imagine if you have a huge chain of armies, put them all in one place, attack everything around, then deploy to make up for the loss numbers. it could uneven things out so early in the game. it will completely depend on the luck of your positioning and whether you start first or not

it sounds like if it were to be work at alll, it would work best in non-sequential games so technically everyone could go at once.

sounds like the old double turns freestyle. u basically deployed, attacked, forted ready for double turn, got all the bonuses u just scavenged by spreading urself really thin, then deploy to secure ur enormous asia bonus

i would never play this but its an interesting idea.

actually, I think this would make it more defensive of a game... cause you get all your armies at the end, you'll be able to make some big borders... the only thing is, the amount of armies you get at the end should still be calculated before you actually start attacking, otherwise a small country could give out its bonus to 2-3 people per turn, who just take it one after another
