By the way, I am actually learning a lot of new English proverbs from you :) I’ve never heard of ‘heads up’ before, so I looked it up.

@victoryfirst said in 1914 - TGC (CP) vs. VF (Entente), oob, no bid:

@the_good_captain I believe I already removed one of your tanks during my British turn. You had two tanks left, including one damaged, which I removed. I am now looking at the history and I think you removed the full strength one as well. So you would get a damaged tank and another infantry in Kiel if I am correct.

ah, I missed that. I will add in one G tank and one infantry.

The Russians are fed up with the current government and ignite a revolution!

[The_Good_Captain]

@victoryfirst

Well, in this case there is no revolution (at least not yet) for several reasons. First, Moscow must be controlled by Russia or contested.

Second, even if that and the other conditions are met, it is only offered to the Central Powers - it’s not mandatory.

Ah, I might have misread those rules. I thought that the revolution would kick in if the CP controls Moscow or three provinces adjacent to Moscow. The only thing I would’ve changed maybe is that suicide attack against the German fleet but I guess I wouldn’t have done anything anyway.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :

British regular : -1,67

I had a question: because Kiel is in Allied hands, the minefield won’t explode my British ships? I thought it wasn’t a smart move to do that at first but after my combat moves I realized that the minefield might not hurt me at all. If so, I would have amphibiously assaulted Denmark with my four infantry that went into Belgium.

@victoryfirst correct. you can just use the EDIT function to remove the “German” mines and replace them with “French”. I did the same thing up in Karelia. Let me know how you would like the British naval units set up and I will EDIT them in …or just repost the UK turn with the edits.

Ah, so that’s how you do it. Thanks!

I did the edits for my British turn. I guess that we can assume I score at least one hit with my units and cruiser bombards, so that leaves the question of if your infantry can score a hit. I will give you the honor to roll your own die :) If you manage to score a hit you can remove an infantry from Denmark.

@victoryfirst only battleships bombard in 1914. So if you attacked it would be the four infantry and one battleship.

And in that case, we should roll all the dice. Did you still want to make the attack?

@victoryfirst

I’m gonna roll a die for the UK battleship - if it misses, I will roll four dice for the attacking infantry. Finally, in the likely event the German infantry is killed, I will roll a single die for him. Then I will do the Ottoman turn. Okay, here goes…
