NML 1914 Team Game 7

[FMErwinRommel]

@dawgoneit Did you consult with Colt Turkey regarding your fleet? Did you forget to move your fleet?

[dawgoneit]

forgot to move it. on my way out would you kindly take care of that for me?

[FMErwinRommel]

@redrum austria-revised fleet.tsvg

[redrum]

@fmerwinrommel 1 of the subs can’t reach that far as it started in sz62.

[FMErwinRommel]

@redrum Sorry, didn’t notice that it had already moved. Just knew that both fleets were at risk.

Since Entente doesn’t have a DD in range and unlikely UK transport will move west, I suggest that:

@redrum put that 1 sub back in sz60 on your turn.

If Dawg or Colt have a better idea, speak up now.

[dawgoneit]

thats fine with me

[FMErwinRommel]

At the end of game 6, we had a discussion about game results being influenced by player talent. A suggestion was made about choosing 2 captains, and they would alternate choosing players. I’ve come up with a way to implement it.

This team game is dragging at times. So, perhaps we could initiate another 1914 team game series simultaneously for those willing to play in 2 series at once; or else we could pause this series after this game and try a fixed team format.

My suggestion is 2 captains, total of 3 or 4 players per side. Entente and CP would have equal number of players. Teams would alternate games between Entente and CP; and players would rotate through the assigned positions after each game.

Every player would play each position once on both sides of the board. 6 players = 6 games in a series; 8 players 8 games. i.e., a player might be Germany 1st game, then say France, Serbia, etc in 2nd game, then Austria game 3, and Italy, Arabia, etc in game 4, and so on in a fixed rotation.

Just a thought for your consideration.

[FMErwinRommel]

I hesitate to suggest the above proposal, as it might cause hurt feelings among players over who picked whom, etc. Or being committed to a specific team for multiple games. The current format has worked for other team games like W@W.

Please let @Private-Panic review and confirm if he wants any of the Italian navy moved in the Med.

[Private-Panic]

@Colt45554 Please continue with Turkey. We will leave the Med as is.

@private-panic Wowza, all naval builds and no land builds. That flexibility is what makes UK so much fun to play. While G is stuck with the prime directive - Paris. So, no sub builds in Africa. Disappointed I won’t be able to rampage far into Africa. But I can still go big game hunting in the Serengeti (German East Africa), while guarding against amphibious invasion. At least it extracted a high price from UK.

[FMErwinRommel]

@elrood Nice move building a factory in Volgog on R2. When I was on the Entente side, I don’t think my R allies ever found enough spare income to build there. Now that I’m a CP, I hope it doesn’t give you too much of an advantage.
