NML 1914 Team Game 8

[Colt45554]

you got fortunate there with best naval tech, instead of merchant marine

[Colt45554]

whoops i somehow initially thought germans got sub tech. merchant marine not so bad for US/Uk.
@Elrood really rough for you. As communists, i valued bratsk but it can be annoying seeing the Vladivostok guys keep flowing northward

[Witt]

@colt45554 nothing wrong with MM: means a good British Admiral can chase down nasty Hun Subs and easily sink them .

@Colt45554 French outshot me. And I didn’t get a tech.

After 4 rounds, Entente have 9 tech by the 5 powers that can get tech, while the CP have 2 tech by 4 powers. That’s an average of 2 tech per Entente and 1/2 tech per CP.

Whoops - I seem to have opened an old serbian file. Threw tech and got none before realising. Will now find the right file and start again …

[Private-Panic]

This time I got working women. My first tech of the game and I need to undo it! :cry: I will keep restarting the game until I miss all 3 tech dice …

[Elrood]

@private-panic is that really necessary? Loading a wrong game counts as first try??

I don’t know. But I threw 3 dice that missed.

[captainwalker]

@elrood unfortunately, once dice are thrown they count…

[FMErwinRommel]

Apparently, Rasputin is leading the Russians in the west and Zhukov’s father led them in the east. And Conrad, commander of the Austrians in real life, could never deliver on his promises. Apparently, Laurel and Hardy led the Communist forces.

Two failed opportunities. if it weren’t for bad luck, we’d have no luck at all. Russia alone has as many tech as all 4 CPs.

[Elrood]

@fmerwinrommel on the bright side: since dice remain being lopsided it will be a quick death for CP it seems.

[Elrood]

@Entek : your go?
