BOOM AND DOOM!
1914 TGC (CP) vs. Yamato (Entente), RR, no bid
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato this is the only battle (the Austrians attacked on their turn and that turn is posted above)
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato also, before I forget, you made a small mistake on the French turn. This is a rule violation:
from page 15 of the rule book, "at the end of this phase [Movement phase] you must have at least one infantry unit in each territory in which you have land units and/or fighters.
So it should have been 125 attacking French infantry, not 126. One infantry would have had to babysit the fighter in Paris. Very small concern in this battle but it can be a big concern in some future game.
-
Oh. I always thought it was at the end of a turn.
Super crap. Always thought I could move equipment without infantry into capitals, knowing they’ll be at least one infantry in that capital.
That screws over, like, all of my solitaire (is that what you call them) games.
Let’s be nice and say that infantry unit in Picardy missed in the Burgundy battle, so the Germans took the same amount of casualties.
The dice weren’t nice to me anyways…
-
6 infantry, 5 artillery.

By the way, you can edit it for me.

I think we should just leave it “as is” at this point. That extra French infantry has less options where he is so if were going to call his dice a miss, lets just call it a wash.

By the way, I bought your book!
It’s a very good read, and I’m almost done with it.
It’s definitely extremely brutal and tough.
Quick question:
Being a sapper, did you learn how to clear mines? I don’t think you mentioned that in the book, but I thought it was an important part of a sapper’s work.

Ah, very cool and thanks! We were trained on identification but not defusing or setting. I believe the primary intent of the course was to create conditions as near to those experienced in war and then to train the mind and body to endure them. Most of the training was on rope work, rappelling/climbing and explosives. I believe mines is taught at a future school. Though I requested to be an officer of Engineers after graduating the course, the “needs of the Army” later deemed I would be an Ordnance officer so I never did learn much about setting or defusing. I do remember a lot about our mines and the mines of our enemies. The Soviets employed a few that were just awful. One was the “butterfly mine” designed to look like a children’s toy. The Russians would throw these things out the back of helicopters in the 80s Afghan war. Kids would pick them up and have their fingers and hands blown off. The intent was to force the fathers to go home and stop fighting and also to sew terror. Just nuts… mines are a very interesting and terrifying weapon - especially with how many variations and intents. Many are not designed to kill but to maim for example - a dead soldier is one soldier down. A wounded soldier ties down a LOT of resources including extra soldiers.
