NML 1914 - Team Game #4

@redrum I got Gas Tech and thr gane has frozen, looking at the Calculator!

@FMErwinRommel Wanky luck!.tsvg

@witt Now that you have gas (or mobile cav) tech, you can overwhelm Arabia quickly next turn. No way to stop you.

@fmerwinrommel would habr been better had I killed that none shitty Bed. I don’t understand why anyone thought making such a cheap , but powerful unit was a good idea. It is too good for 2 IPCs.

After 5 rounds, Commies have 4 tech from 7 dice rolls, more than all the Entente combined. Entente have 3 tech from 52 dice rolls. C only spent 10 cash, the rest were free science tech dice. France spent 25 cash in round 4 alone, but failed to get a tech, and its tech dice were lost when Paris fell.

I thought with the unusually strong, early USA presence in E Russia, that R could stabilize its position vs C. But C can outspend and outproduce Irkutsk. So with mobile builds, it is almost guaranteed taking Bratsk next round. R can only retreat, with an undefended interior, with C racing across the continent. As Hitler said in WWII, "We have only to kick in the door, and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down.” This will be a repeat of game 1.

@elrood Ah, I don’t think your sub attack on sz137 should be allowed as you made an edit after France’s last turn to move within range…

@redrum Agreed, you might not have placed yourself in jeopardy, had you known in advance.
