Hey all, I am leaving for 6 days starting tomorrow. If I can get to Germany before then I will.
But otherwise Cpt. Walker can take my move.
@dawgoneit how are you? I am sorry if you have been unwell.
@witt I’m doing a lot better. was a tough summer but i made it out the other side. bad med combination. ready to resume playing.
@dawgoneit do you want to roll dice or do think you should take the nation that is left at the end?
I asked Dawg if he was interested in playing, if there was still an opening. Since he has responded first before DeGrasse or the other person suggested, I say let’s have Dawg be the 8th player. Is it okay with the rest of you, I think everyone know Dawg well. Dawg, do you know how to roll forum dice for a chance in 100? If not, one of us can roll for you. BTW, unless Dawg rolls higher, I choose France and Serbia.
@fmerwinrommel i haven’t rolled in a while. go ahead and roll for me.
@dawgoneit or i can take what ever is left. its up to you guys. seems you’ve already rolled and started to pick.
Might be fairer for Dawg to take what is left.
I have told Elrood he is up next.
@dawgoneit this is for Dawg [dice 1d100]
1d100: 57
Dawg you choose next. If you don’t take France and Serbia, then that’s my choice.
@fmerwinrommel U.S.A.
@dawgoneit USA and UK are already taken. Pick sth else please

Adam said America . He is fed up of losing to me, he confided.
I am. It happens so very rarely that I hate it on those odd occasions when @Witt stumbles un"witt"ingly upon a decent strategy! :joy:

PP - the conquerer of rhetoric :-D
@elrood Russia
Rommel France and Serbia. Elrood up next
What are the teams, and is there a new thread for the new game?
@entek No new game thread yet. Interestingly, everyone so far has chosen Allies. Elrood is next
@fmerwinrommel : Few things before I reply.
Witt and redrum are arguably two of the better players here. Between these two and some blunders made by entente we were able to pull a victory after a long and tedious struggle.
Witt always said that Centrals need a bid to stand a chance against a well played Entente.
Proposition: a Central Player (but not Redrum nor me) receives a small bonus to his Forces in some kind, to level the playing field - looking at AeV and Entek, who are both fairly new to this mod.
What do you think?
@elrood I prefer not to give a bid to the last choosing CP player. In a 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 game, it might be fine to give a less experienced or skilled player a bid to play CP. But in an 8-player team game, individual levels of experience or skill become a factor in the matchups between opponents. The only Allied position left is Italy/Arab, and it’s likely to go to Entek or AEV, who are fairly new as you say. To give the Turk or Austrian player a bid against Italy/Arabia, makes that last Allied position even more hopeless than it is already. Austria has a secure, rich, home base with big ICs. Commies usually seriously hurt Russia. Turkey has weaknesses and Germ can be ganged up on and contained, but not be easily conquered; but give them a starting advantage, and it upsets the balance to their neighbors.
