@Witt @captainwalker @FMErwinRommel @Private-Panic the Centrals humbly surrender to the might of Entente.
Good game all

[Elrood]

@Colt45554 if you want do your last Commies go, I just realized the game round has not ended yet!

Did @witt do something amazing to suddenly force your surrender? Have I been failing to spot his strategic brilliance all these years?

[Witt]

@Private-Panic finally!

[Witt]

Well played the CPs. Was a good game by you all. Enjoyed it . Thanks .

Yes, when he conquered neutral Sweden this turn, he decided to celebrate by luxuriating at a sauna resort; and who should he find there, but German General Ludendorff and Austrian General Franz Conrad in the not so buff, buff, with several very buff Swedish beauties. That explains the sudden decision to surrender.

[FMErwinRommel]

Don’t let the Entente win make you think we must continue giving Turkey Industry tech plus infantry to balance the game.

Turkey got armor tech on round 2, captured Mecca on round 3 with cav and gas, and captured Cairo on round 8 with 21 tanks and a final build of 11 gas on round 7. Colt did a great job of being aggressive and single mindedly focusing on Cairo and avoiding distractions; while building subs to force UK to use its limited build capacity to build ships.

CP and C seemed on the verge of breakthroughs against Rus several times. This game could have gone either way earlier.

[Colt45554]

Good game. i would play another

[FMErwinRommel]

Thanks guys for another great game.
I’m in for team game 10.

I enjoyed this game because some different opening strategies were used, particularly with G dominating the Pacific and T & C opening aggressively.

[Elrood]

@FMErwinRommel if Austrian tech would have been a bit luckier the last few turns… e.g barrage or mustard, the map would have looked differently soon, but if France manages to take Swiss casually with 70 units… there is not much Austria or Turks can do about it.
Is three moves from Vienna through empty territories. I would have had to retreat everywhere to protect my capital and that would have been it.

[Private-Panic]

I am in for another!

[dawgoneit]

i’m in please

[Witt]

Mich auch, danke.

[Elrood]

@Witt me2

[FMErwinRommel]

@captainwalker @Entek We just need to hear from Entek and CW.

[Colt45554]

I do agree with FM’s comment about this match not being representative of the effectiveness of Turk bid. I’m ok with keeping or nerfing them again

[Elrood]

What if we tweak the game by activating technologies at the start of the inventing players next turn. That would need defensive techs and produce less of a stalemate potentially

[Colt45554]

I wonder how smoothly the game handles all those tech edits

[Entek]

@FMErwinRommel I’m in
