@Elrood That’s somewhat true, but G is mostly a one-trick pony, take Paris. While the Centrals have won many, but not most of our games without G taking Paris, as the other players and their strategies and abilities took center stage.

The Ruskies in E Poland bit me again, +4 hit differential. And got bit in the Pacific again. Last turn UK fleet almost sank my amphib fleet and this turn Guadalahara took out one of my two invaders. This really cuts my odds of surviving an American attack on Mexico City.

@Dawg is playing Austria, not Redrum.

Guess @Witt is trying to trade me to the other team…

@redrum Now its Redrum’s turn. And it will be a profitable one, skiing and yodeling.
-
@Witt Ouch Leo, how am I supposed to take Paris when you build 8 HGs and 3 trenches per turn?
-
@dawgoneit Did you consult with Colt Turkey regarding your fleet? Did you forget to move your fleet?
-
forgot to move it. on my way out would you kindly take care of that for me?

@fmerwinrommel 1 of the subs can’t reach that far as it started in sz62.

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.
