NML 1914 - Team Game #3

[Elrood]

@fmerwinrommel thanks! Ok, that is in line with the information I am having - vaccinated infected can ofc transmit the virus! No argument there!

Studies show that the virus load of vaccinated is lower than that of unvaccinated, so it is not as easily transmitted im that case, as a new host needs a threshold number of viruses to break the immunsystems first line of defense.
Is really boils down to a game of math. Every measure decreases the probability.
E.g. if getting vaccinated lowers your infectiousness to 50% and wearing a mask lowers it by 50% as well, then using both brings ot fown to 25% - give or take (I made up these mumbers, do not quote me on them)

And going direcrly for cdc.gov as a source is a good advice from redrum. When I checked cnn vs. cdc I already saw some minor differences in emphasis on specific points Every news outlet will alter such content, not because of ulterior motive but because that’s how language works - every repetition will be slightly different and painted by the repetitors background.

@witt Please use the last post. There were some NCM edits

Comparing game 3 with game 2, Redrum abandoned Belg, sending troops to Norm, Pic & Paris and built 2 transports in EngCha; while Witt reinforced Belg and didn’t build any transports in EngCha. Of course, Redrum had benefit of hindsight and had planned the G move in game 2. Having 1 Canadian fleet survive means 2 more transports can reach France next turn. But I think the UK action and France’s ignoring the provinces to build max in Paris, will be the main reasons G will not steamroll Paris in this game. In our first game, UK provided substantial troop support to Paris in the critical early phase, allowing France to build massive defenses that outstripped G’s offense. G’s all out offense in game 2, and perhaps in this game, would have kept the pressure on Paris. Hopefully, the Mex gambit keeps the USA at bay.

[Witt]

@fmerwinrommel I couldn’t hold the Channel, as Redrum won better off Scapa Flow. I lost both Subs, making an attavk on the Channel impossible . Holding the Channel, as the Allies , means Britain can reinforce Normandy, then Paris. Getting a great G1 meant Paris faking was easier . I lost too many sea battles. Ron has been lucky as Germany and now as Britain .

[FMErwinRommel]

@witt UK held the Channel in both games, but what UK built there in round 1 was the difference. Not saying I would have known to have done any better.

I won’t post G2 until the 27th, I suspect . Sorry all. Al amd I have worked so hard since May, when we reopened, that these 5 dais we are closed now , are family time. Raffy chose Memoir 44 as my birthday board game amd am had been asking yo play since the 16th. I need to read the rules .
Enjoy Christmas all.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@witt merry christmas!
Enjoy the days off, i will too!

[Witt]

@aequitas-et-veritas it is a very Good game . We played the Sword scenario and Raffy (U.K. 3rd Division) defeated the elements of the poor 716th Static Division. My Panzer unit (from thr 21st) did take on two Armoured Battalions (he had 3) , but was unable to eliminate either , before all Inf positions were overrun and victory was declared .
I am sure some of you already own this , but I can highly recommend it.

[Witt]

Thanks . I tried looking it up , but had no luck . I am not good on geography of that region, but was interested.

[FMErwinRommel]

@witt What game, what geography? Seems I saw a reference somewhere about a game you just got.

Merry Christmas to everyone. In the tradition of the troops in the trenches on the western front, we join with them in a temporary cessation of hostilities to sing Christmas carols across no man’s land.
