@Entek Your pick!
I’ll go USA
@FMErwinRommel your pick
I would have taken USA, but don’t want F/S a third time and not I/.Arab. Let me think.
@fmerwinrommel Time to try the dark side!
Btw, if you really want UK then I don’t mind playing F/S instead.
@redrum No thanks on UK, I’ll take Austria.
Might be nice to try to duplicate G’s all out assault on F. But I’m not as decisive or a fast player as some of you, to play G or UK. Austria isn’t creative or as much fun as G or T, but it is the safest.
I guess I should begin planning the British invasion of Austria now :)
@redrum More likely, will Austria take Piedmont before G takes Paris; or be the first CP to take an enemy capital? Taking Rome or Greece before T takes Mecca? That would be a challenge.
@fmerwinrommel Equally unlikely as I don’t plan to let any of my Entente allies capitals fall!
@redrum UK can give T a very hard time, and help save Paris. So that will make it that much easier for Austria to be the first to take a capital; as Brits have little to no direct effect on Austria’s march on its weak neighbors, including Russia.
Elrood, AEV, Witt, Dawg, who wants to join me on the dark side? Bwwaahh

I play Entente now, and still would like to have Centrals something nice at the start, as I stand by my point that they need sth. more than they have. Especially if a player like Ron steers the british navy
@elrood I agree. I suggest that Turkey get a free tech at the start. Austria doesn’t need any special help against F/S. :blush: Yes, when the sides were reversed, I gave Austria a hard time, but in the end, it just prolonged the inevitable. I don’t expect a R collapse this time, so Austria will have a harder time against F & I, but we shall still prevail eventually.
Playing the Turks.
@fmerwinrommel I do not think a Tech will cut it for Turks… the one I had was not usable while the game was still ongoing.
I would not mind Turks having some extra units at the start.
I mean, Ron as Germany singlehandedly defeated Entente last game… what Austria and Turks did was inconsequential, at best.
@elrood said in NML 1914 - Team Game #3:
I mean, Ron as Germany singlehandedly defeated Entente last game… what Austria and Turks did was inconsequential, at best.
I wouldn’t say that.
It was more like a Kentucky shuffle 🤣
@aequitas-et-veritas Let me be more verbose then ;-)
Ron won the game despite Kevin playing Kentucky shuffle with Serbs and me playing Battleship with France. :-D

Witt chose Germany, leaving Italy for dawg.
So, what you guys say to give Centrals sth. nice? Ron? I know that Witt is too stubborn to accept something for Germany (although an IC would be nice), but Kevin could benefit from it.
E.g. that tech where IC can produce 2 more units than usual. Plus maybe 3 Inf to place at his leisure… so the presence of a “bid” can be felt.
Any opinions?
