NML 1914 - Team Game #4

My fault for mentioning the sub without placing a restriction on its ability to affect an enemy unit that had already moved.

@FMErwinRommel i saw that you had offered it; I didn’t realise that it was after Ron’s move .
Ron should have asked Seb, if he wanted to move his Sub. I blame him!
I know Seb is still seeing a psychiatrist, after that crappy Paris assault. We need to treat him gently.

@elrood I think a Battleship is excessive . They can have a Cruiser .

@Elrood 34 FGs should be in the Guinness Book of World Records for most Triplea FG builds.in one turn. To support the hordes of cav you will build the next few turns. You certainly are tenacious in your quest for Paris. And to think you passed up the chance to build 8 BBs in one turn. I’m envious that you built a Zep before I did. I had so much fun with my Austrian pair in the last game. Your 3 Western Front ICs are luscious targets, but will probably have to let USA build Zeps instead.

I edited the German sub back to where it was as I don’t think there is any place that it is safe from the UK destroyers.

Turkey’s industry tech bid at the opening, lets it flood Mecca with troops earlier than normal. Mecca gives T another 6 build capacity within 3 spaces of Cairo, to flood Cairo with gas. T already has 52 units within 3 spaces of Cairo, even after losses from taking Mecca. Cairo only builds 2 units, including naval needs. UK’s other builds must be convoyed in, with 2 turn roundtrip for the tt’s. T’s low odds invasion of India successfully took 1 IC away from UK for 4 turns, while UK has failed to develop Industry tech in 6 turns. All this makes it almost impossible for UK to hold Cairo, even with massive continuous investment of resources.

Will the CP allow R to change its attack on Primo from a conscript to an inf, as the conscript can’t attack trenches?

@Witt Please use this post, there was a combat edit since the conscript couldn’t take the trenches on his own.

Russia6.tsvg

@entek Did you want to replace the conscript with the infantry, rather than have them both in Primo?

@witt Leo, here’s your chance to make your big move now that Boris has moved aside. What’s with all these cabinet ministers with names from the former British Colonies rather than the homeland?

You were Lucky Matt.That went well!.tsvg
