NML 1914 game 13

Back from holiday and see this game is on a knife edge!

Not sure what I am supposed to do with the F tt carrying a GB colonial - so perhaps @Witt can take a look at that.

Otherwise - here are F & S:

@Entek austria up

@Private-Panic The knife’s edge has become “Rosie the Rivetter” smashing CP with a hammer. We’ve run dry on tech research while Entente is rolling 6’s.
And G losing the battle of GEA has you moving 9 Legionnaires back north to block my advance past Cairo. .

4 turns without getting tech. But 12 gas killed all defenders in Cairo and the 11 trenches didn’t put up a fight without bunker tech, so I can’t complain too much.

UK 12.tsvg @dawgoneit

@FMErwinRommel Curious how Africa will develop now.

@Elrood said in NML 1914 game 13:

@FMErwinRommel Curious how Africa will develop now.

Yeah, poor dice in GEA and UK’s sudden willingness to buy figs in Africa, vs Turks big army in Cairo. And I see the beginnings of an infidel crusader cav corps in Morocco led by young Patton. But the Turks will regain all N Africa for Islam.

@FMErwinRommel You know it! Is also nice that US is of some consequence here. Usually game was decided before they made any serious landfall in Europe or Africa. Usually the were more concerned woth Sibiria if anything.

But I feel the direction of the game hard to predict currently, since I never sew US in such a position, I daresay.

@Elrood I hate that I cannot edit my posts in this forum to fix typos

@Elrood yes, not being able to edit is frustrating, but that’s how it should be, otherwise problems.
When you said uncertain of direction, did you mean USA might have to do more against Communists or who would win Africa or who is gaining in the game as a whole?

@Elrood USA has dallied a long time in Spain instead of confronting CP early. Maybe it wasn’t needed. You will be a 600 pound guerilla.

@FMErwinRommel I meant which side has the upper hand now or how will the map look like in 5 turns,
Ofc Witt is preaching our doom ever since the game started, but we are used to that.

Spain is such a nice income boost for US and provides “on site” manufacturing, that I could not let it pass. Like in a normal strategy game, I opted for early focus on economy with a later strong pivot to military. Let us see if my plan works out.
