@Private-Panic Ha, I knew you would attack the Italian fleet, so I reinforced it with my French cruiser (instead of gambling on taking out the Turk CA & tt.) When your sub hit on round 1, I was sure it was a wasted effort to save Italian fleet. But then, the Italians managed to miss fewer times than the Austrians. So, the loss of the French cruiser was not in vain.

I think you mistakenly put figs in picardy?
-
@Witt if you wana fix that
-
oh, you had to. sad

@Witt You sneaky b, I thought there was no way you could take Belgium with one transport, and you wouldn’t risk your figs even if you used your cavalry from Paris. Didn’t realize those Brits in EngCha were on French transport.
So I didn’t abandon Champ and go en masse to Belgium like the prior German players in our team games.I didn’t count on you using DD from Med to reach my subs off Africa. Should have gone to Persian Gulf with my CA.
Your tech luck is going to be the end of my navy. Get a naval tech on turns 1 and 2 with just one die each turn.

@fmerwinrommel glad you like my sneak attacks. Surprises are my favourite things. For my enemies!
-
@witt Just don’t send any surveillance balloons disguised as weather balloons over Germany, or we will deflate them. :blush:

@fmerwinrommel china’s not in this comfertation
-
@dawgoneit UK controlled Hong Kong and some other Chinese ports back then.

This has gotten completely out of hand. UK and Italy each got a tech from one die roll on round 1. UK and Rus each got a tech from one die roll on round 2.
The world is upside down. Ger is on the defense on Western Front. France put an unusually large defense in Burgundy, while Ger will be too busy retaking Belg & Pic. So Ger is the one building trenches, as the Burg troops can join offensively with Paris.
-
despite the tech luck, i think CPs are in quite a comfortable position still
-
@colt45554 Saw right thru me. How did you know I was trying to lull you into complacency?
-
if i can emulate my allies’ tech success and get my favorite tech(propoganda) then i will agree with you that it’s GG!

@fmerwinrommel Entente really have good techs already and at a bargain price, not to forget… if that luck does not turn soon, game might decided by that.
