@Witt Wow, max 8 RAF fig builds that can reach Paris next turn. All out defense of Paris and conquering the Kaiser’s Pacific colonies. But Italian cav didn’t move towards Paris, so for the want of a horse the battle is lost and G will prevail with 63 horses.

Ruskies continue to out roll us on dice. He got tech and I missed. I attacked Lith with 5 units, power of 14 and got 2 hits, while all 3 of R’s units hit on first round, despite power of only 5. Rus +2.67 dice score from just 5 units in one round.

@colt45554 You forgot to roll for victory bonds. I may have to start charging a finders fee for reminding you. :blush:
Austria can roll for you if you want, since it’s random dice. -
It’s hopeless taking Paris later in the game. HG with tech defends at 5 and costs 4 1/2 with working women. So max 8 HG has 40 defense and only costs 36 PU. That’s 111 % defense to cost ratio. An attacking FG with barrage and inf pair have offense of 5 and cost 7. That’s a 71% attack to cost ratio. 77% with working women. Add 3 trenches that provide 6 hit points for only 9 PU.

Doing Austria.
So I need to roll VBs for France and add the result to their income?
Also Austria just got VBs which I believe I will pick up this turn so also need to roll for those?
So rolling for France and Austria in that order:
[dice 2d6]
[dice 2d6]
-
2d6: 4, 6
2d6: 3, 6 -
Attacked Tuscany. I think the OOL against my Gas was fairly obvious, but please tell me how you want to allocate the 28 hits with my non-Gas units in round 1. Also subsequent rounds. See attached.
-
@private-panic Its standard that everyone takes the trenches first. 13 trenches x 2 = 26, that just leaves 2 hits to allocate against infantry.
-
@fmerwinrommel I agree, I think PP can safely resume rolling.
-
Are the Entente happy with that?
-
@private-panic They are, I asked Witt via messenger and he agreed with Rommels logic
-
I didn’t want to assume trenches first because that affected the strafe possibility.
Isn’t Milan lovely at this time of year!.tsvg
