well your negative impression with NAP might be because I had to switch your opponent twice, then you got stuck with someone who posted once per week, before finally dropping out
i find first impressions matter a lot
back to great war,
yes, i am a newb
but like i said, it is only the start of round 4, and there is not that much activity going on that could have changed
i sent literally EVERYTHING germany had to prussia, and I could have lost prussia THIS round if Admetus had decided to move everything to Lith last round (instead he decided to pressure romania and prussia at same time, then take warsaw instead, which is good too).
feels like a load of bull**** to me, cus now i have abandon prussia otherwise he can choose to take austrian capital from me
also, there were a bunch of clearly “required” 50% battles at the beginning of this game.
especially if you are playing dice, these battles could really be bad:
the 3 zepplins vs a destroyer (seriously a WTF battle in dice)
the ottoman navy + airforce vs the combined uk navy (really dicey battle because both sides have battleships, so whoever wins, wins big, cus they get to repair)
the pacific naval battle (again, the UK has a BB so if they win, they win big)
to me, really close battles that are practically required, especially battles with BB’s in them, are a sign of bad game design
