@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.

CW pulled an Elrood, attacking at 32% odds and winning, with just a few units, but nevertheless winning.
I thought this game was unusually long, but interesting, with one side strong in one theater and the other in another theater. Destined to be a very long game, with Entente perhaps favored, but far too early to call or say we were just dragging it out.
I thought Rome and Yakutsk would both fall soon. Then, F & U.S. reinforced Rome and R decided to just contain Commies. U.S. impact finally and suddenly being felt, discouraged me. But the sack of Rome by the Huns buoyed my spirits just in time for Christmas. Old Saint Nick’s sack is full of Italian treasures. -
@FMErwinRommel my Christmas spirit went down with my late fighter at Rome! 😢
-
@captainwalker Was really a tight outcome, if Italy had built these 3 trenches and not attacked Apulia it would likely stand now… :-(
@Colt45554 I think we can skip Italy for now. UK can move Italia’s Fleet when they re up. Turks may commence
-
@Elrood Italy got railway gun tech just before the attack. Extremely convenient, as Italy’s HG’s rolled 18 fives during the battle. Austria would have had a significant number of surviving attackers otherwise.
