Game History
Round: 1 Politics - GermansCombat Hit Differential Summary :
Game changing tech drought for F, 0-5 this turn, 1-11 total. UK 0-7 tech dice.
UK saved Paris last team game by buying 7 fighters on round 3 to reach Paris on round 4. I thought that I had more time as UK this game, and went for troops. Plus taking Hanover diverted troops. G wisely didn’t let that divert him from Paris.
@fmerwinrommel All true. It felt like a ruse to divert me, but at a high cost (no planes in Paris. Not even the one you already have)
But the odds on Paris are not great. is 80+ % alright, but at high TUV costs and expected survivors in case of victory are 16 units… that is not a lot. Could be a Pyrrhic victory after all (in case the odds will not strike at me again!)
I stand by my comments: first few turns misfortunes had the deepest impact on our current situation. I blandly copied Rons moves since I was intrigued by his swift capture of Paris, but he was way more lucky than me, and at turn 2 I had nearly nothing left outside mainland Europe. Which really limited my options. I think Ron is a great player, hence my remark of “my impeccable strategy”, since I played essentially by his book to give that single minded playstyle a try.
If Germany gets an above average result in Paris Centrals can have a comeback, I guess.
If Germany wins by a low margin and may be even France can retake Paris as a follow up, then we can shake hands on game doomed from the start.

@entek Thx to you for asking him to do it
If you all don’t mind, I will take Dawg’s turn as USA. He hasn’t responded and I don’t think his fingers are healed enough to type well.
