@Private-Panic That was an exciting battle in Greece. You had 55% odds, and it was close. Round 2 was in your favor, but round 3 strongly in my favor.
I suppose you were frustrated by not getting the tech again and just went for it. No boffins for you. I feel for you but am glad the good guys won. Although, you are still in good position to try again.
NML 1914 - Team Game #3

That was quick, everyone must be eager to start the new game. Elrood, do your magic, setting up the game. No Marti dice emails for me.
As Turkey, I ask for the same concession as last game: guys, can Turkey have the Industry tech to start the game? -
Went back to the start of the current game thread and I see that Elrood gave Turkey an infantry in each of Const, Damascus and Baghdad, in addition to the industry tech. With Redrum and Witt on the same team, I’d like to ask that Turkey get the same bid benefit in the new game.

@fmerwinrommel I have just asked if my good friend , PP, wants me to side with him and break with my English tradition of hatred of all things not English.
So hang on just a bit. I might join the Dark Side , as a challenge. You might still get to play the brave Brits .Adam begged me to help Seb and him out of a desperate situation. I can’t abandon a friend in need. .
I will have to change my allegiance and side with my best two friends in all the world .
They need me!Sorry tinned you around guys . Rommel.
I will take Turkey instead . -
Taking Turkey also means I am against the best player again.
Ron, You will get spanked one of these days .
And I will be on the other side .
Game on. -
@fmerwinrommel It appears the tables have been turned on your negotiating…
-
@witt And here I thought I was 1 of your 2 best friends…
-
@redrum Ron. I love you, but we are not friends .
-
@witt Which makes you and Ron … ? So what were you saying before about not being able to play Turkey? You have some hangup or playing style, that you didn’t play well as Turkey?
So do you want a battleship instead of tech and infantry? -
@fmerwinrommel I will take what Kevin took.
-
Is everyone agreed that Turkey gets Industry tech and 3 infantry to start?
Witt suggested earlier that USA take Italy and Arabia. I could accept that, but recommend instead that France take Italy, since they must coordinate closely to give Italy the best chance of survival.
Either way, Arabia to USA. -
@fmerwinrommel I was thinking:
France + Italy
UK + Arabia
USA + Serbia
Russia (could be Serbia here as well)Reason is that Italy has to coordinate with France and Arabia has to work with UK. Serbia doesn’t really matter.
-
@redrum @FMErwinRommel that seems silly to me . Arabia is always played by Italy and Serbia by France. It speeds up play. I suggested The US gets Itaky/ Arabia, as the US has very little to do as the game begins.
We want a fast game . Coordination is part of the fun and the challenge . -
@witt Hear, hear. Game speed is likely more important to most of the 7 players, and there is also tradition, so I concede to Leo the Magnificent, the newly installed Pasha or Sultan.
-
As you wish. I guess I’ll take Serbia then and let the other 3 decide who gets Italy/Arabia.
-
Give me some time to set up and move as I am on a farm with my family until wednesday.
-
And while we give out candy, lets give Germany a nice ten unit Zeppelin fleet, just for fun. ;-)
-
@elrood i will be gone from Wednesday until Tuesday. camping trip. just bought a new camper and I’m excited to break it in.
-
@dawgoneit @elrood Nice to see you guys have real lives outside of Triplea. Seb, milk a cow for me. Dawg, the weather turned cooler here, but will be pleasant later in the week. Likely will be cooler where you are, but you’re probably used to that.
-
USA doesn’t want to also play Italy and Arabia. Are CP okay if France plays Serbia, Italy and Arabia? UK and Russia are already big powers.

The new team game #4 is up #38561. It has not yet been agreed who is playing Italy and Arabia.
