@Witt You were lucky getting a tech with just 1 die, and getting gas. The extra hit you’ll get from rolling 5’s instead of 4’s gives you much better odds (because of the relatively small size of both armies). Taking Mecca on T3 will give you a big jump on taking Cairo.
NML 1914 Team Game 7

thats fine with me

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.
-
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.

@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.

@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.

@fmerwinrommel Yeah I was not sure about that one myself, but since quantity beats quality in that game a nice “four units” IC close to a contested front seemed like a nice build.

@private-panic The U-boat “happy times” were short lived. And my poor middle east fleet has nowhere to hide from the Royal Navy. France won’t need much help from you with Paris at max defense.
