NML 1914 - Team Game #3

[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.

Fröhliche Weihnachten!
Merry Christmas.

[FMErwinRommel]

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.

[Elrood]

@fmerwinrommel … And take a moment to imagine how blessed we are that we can simply play wargames these times, while 69 % of humanity have to wait in line for water one hour or more… (no joke)

@witt Nice shooting. Especially sinking the Italian fleet, so it can’t reinforce UK or Fr fleets and no more transport to bring troops from the isles and Africa back to guard the homeland from me.

The sparrows whistle it allready from the roof…

[FMErwinRommel]

I went outside on Christmas morning and saw that a dog had left us a Christmas present on the sidewalk. Then I thought, this doesn’t happen very often, and almost always on the grass. Could this be coincidence, or was it a reindeer that left us a present. We got another present on the same spot today, surely from a dog this time. But was it marking the spot it had left the day before, or marking the scent left by a reindeer?

[FMErwinRommel]

@Elrood Please take your turn as France and Serbia, so I can crush you between my fingers like a fine grape. Notice how nicely I said that, not insulting you by saying crush you like a rotten melon, or stomp you under my feet. :blush:

[Witt]

@fmerwinrommel he has been away with family. He hoped to play tonight.

[Elrood]

@fmerwinrommel you undersell yourself. Not only was it funny and polite, but also rather ridiculous! I call that Bingo! ;-)

[FMErwinRommel]

@elrood Thanks, hope you enjoyed your time with family. Many of our American Christmas traditions originated with the Germanic peoples.
