@Elrood yes I did thanks
1914 teams FMRommel & Private-Panic (CP) vs Witt & Elrood (Ent)

Can we all agree that this game is lopsided?
Centrals stand no chance, except for MAJOR Entente SNAFUs or incredible dice…
-
@elrood Allies start out with big advantage in income and units, just like in WWII global games. CP has some offensive advantage to gain on the allies, like in Global WWII; but not anywhere near like with WWII Germany and Japan. Tech luck has a major effect in 1914, both in getting a tech and which tech. In our game, the Kriegsmarine has been sunk without inflicting much damage due to poor dice, giving Allies free reign much too early globally and especially in feeding ground troops into the Western front. And Austria is already in trouble. But from my limited experience, there are so many theatres of war and differences in players, that its too early to tell.
-
1914 is more defensive than WWII global, without tanks, bombers and planes on offense and with trenches and HGs for defense. So unless a major slip up, its a slow slog. That doesn’t necessarily mean games last longer. At some point, one side realizes they can’t win or will eventually lose, and decides to concede. Experienced players can find ways to reach targets quicker. In global WWII, an experienced Axis player can reach Moscow quickly with tanks and mech and then bypass it for the Mideast. In 1914, the location of the Russian capital, the number and shape of the territories, the Russian income and defensive advantages is so different. I’m ready to soldier on for now.

@fmerwinrommel i can agree, but from the few games i had yet, it really seems disadvantsgeous to attackers. 9 PUs for 3 trenches stop even a good army for a turn and next round it just gets harder.
Also. I find the “low to hit” numbers tricky. I mean in Napoleon an here most units hit at only 1 or 2. Means if you roll a battle round just 3’s and up you miss pretty much all.
In G40 thats usually not the case with tanks, bombers and fighters dominating the scene.
Overall is the same odds but the variance seems off. I mean here i have seen 90+ % battles fail profoundly. In G40 that does not seem to happen as often…
-
@elrood German stormtroopers and UK/Fra colonials have potential to change that. With barrage tech giving art attack 3 and supporting stormtroopers also getting attack 3. However, they are still slow movers and Berlin is far from the frontlines. And despite Germany’s large income, its difficult to reserve enough cash every turn to build large numbers of stormtroopers. Tech allows higher attack units, but tanks have minimal defense compared to WWII; late fighters are expensive; and gas lasts just one round. So they can help take a territory but little or no help against a counterattack (fighters can’t land, gas is destroyed).
-
@fmerwinrommel exactly. Time is of the essence. Stormtroopers and / or lucky early tech rolls will take to long to effect.
-
@elrood Tech luck is a big factor in 1914. I’ve seen Italy and France and others get propaganda tech (3 inf in capital) on round 1 after spending just 5 pu for 1 tech die.

Lawrence survives the battle but will not survive the war, so he is knighted posthumously. In real life, he survived the war and lived long enough to see the Arabs betrayed, so he refused to accept the knighthood.
