Good luck, and have fun! And as you said a few years back: May the best German win ;-)
The best of luck to you too, may the best Anglo-Saxon win ;-)
Oh beep, I totally forgot to attack Yorkshire as the British. If you’re okay with it, I’ll do the fight with the dicebots here:
5 British infantry: [dice 5d6]
2 German infantry: [dice 2d6]
5d6: 3, 2, 1, 3, 5
2d6: 2, 4
The British clear the territory, 1 British infantry is lost.

@SuperbattleshipYamato said in [TOB (CP) vs. SBY (Entente) 1914 TGC Balance]
@The_Good_Captain Thank you for your help. This wasn’t really brought up in your videos.
Well, this particular result is, in my opinion, a “knock on” or “domino” affect from Russia falling so early at the very least. At the end of the Russia video, I say that this power is not long for the world and has somewhere between 5-8 turns to affect the CP. For Russia to punch out on turn 4 is to also fall outside the purview of the videos and create rare opportunities/problems that are better left for the individual player to solve. My intent with the videos is to cover baseline or something close to baseline strategy.
Another example: There are probably knock on affects if a CP player decides to never build aircraft but the intent of the videos is to cover best practices and baseline strategies so I don’t examine that possibility.
Thank you for clarifying.
@The_Good_Captain You mean your videos don’t cover every possible scenario we could encounter!? I’m shocked and devastated. :p
