NML 1914 team game 15

[Witt]

@VictoryFirst thanks for the game. Was my very lucky defence of Paris that sealed it for us.

You guys didn’t do anything wrong . Should have been your victory.

I estimated 98% odds on Paris, so sent 3 cav from Bavaria to defend Galicia instead of towards Paris on G4. That one move brought my odds down to 95%. After 6 rounds of dice favoring F in Paris on G5, each side was down to a handful of units. Those 3 redirected units would have allowed me to continue battling. I probably would have taken Paris with just 1 unit. That would have given me his income and not allowed F to build, even tho he would have immediately retaken Paris.
Occasionally, G has the odds on Paris and attacks and wins and the game is over. Usually, G finds he doesn’t have the offense to take Paris and doesn’t attack it. Which leaves G with a strong army to hold Champagne and be in a strong position on the Western Front. But, after my battle loss, France was able to push me back into G. And, I had skimped everywhere else to make the western front strong, so it was all or nothing.

Enjoyable game. Thanks guys! If Elrood had known that his Americans would seal our victory with just one real battle then he could have saved us all a lot of time and done it about 5 moves ago!!!

[Elrood]

@Private-Panic quite the opposite! I should have let Austrians have Rome and have endured your pleading and whining, while I had the time of my life taking Spain!

[Elrood]

Then and only THEN, with Europe in ashes, I would have strolled in like a New York dandy steamrolling centrals and let you celebrate me! :-D :-D

Oh I love evil me!! 😈

[VictoryFirst]

@Elrood

Heh heh see? That’s is what money does to people 😂

[FMErwinRommel]

We heard from our remaining partner, we officially concede the game. It was fun.
Who’s up for game 16?

[Private-Panic]

Yes - count me in too

[Witt]

@Private-Panic only because you are playing again, I will play: I love beating you !

[Private-Panic]

@Witt It happens to rarely I know!

[Witt]

@Private-Panic dementia is your friend., my friend.

[Elrood]

@VictoryFirst one question: did you see the possibility of an US attack on Latium or was that an oversight?

[VictoryFirst]

@Elrood

I did see that US could land in Latium but I apparently calculated the odds too quickly and missed to include some of your units. Not that without that mistake we would have won or anything, I think we were already lost after the Paris defeat.

[Witt]

@VictoryFirst I think Seb added a few units to the map. Wasn’t your fault.
Got to watch these nasty Germans!

[VictoryFirst]

@Witt

Nah I think some Austrians got frightened and deserted before the battle started 😂

[Entek]

@VictoryFirst I’m in

[FMErwinRommel]

@Elrood I’m in; and if I get Germany again, I will take Paris and not stop until I take Washington, D.C. But, I’ll need to take out London after Paris.
@Private-Panic Let’s give credit to the RAF for building 5 figs on round 3 which helped safe Paris.

[FMErwinRommel]

@elrood @VictoryFirst are you in for another game?

[Elrood]

@FMErwinRommel ok
