@Witt Use this one. Swapped the Heavy Artillery for Field Artillery. Don’t need defense when going after neutrals, forgot about that :)
-
@VictoryFirst that is fine . It also costs all a TT’s space to transport a Heavy, so Art and Inf is best .

Speaking of HGs, I am in my third time listening to the audiobook “A World Undone, the Great War 1914-1918” which I mentioned a long time ago. NML 1914 has for the most part done as good a job as can be expected of replicating the actual war. But I just realized that the game has HGs as primarily defensive weapons, while in reality, HGs were used in an offensive role.
Artillery was the primary weapon of destruction, more than rifles, machine guns, etc. Gas turned out not to be a decisive factor in most cases.
Hundreds of thousands of shells wee used in individual battles or campaigns to soften up defenses. Most powers were consuming a million shells a month. The goal was to kill the defenders so they couldn’t massacre the attacking infantry with machine guns, artillery and rifle fire.
Light or medium artillery couldn’t penetrate fortified bunkers. So HGs were used and shrapnel shells were used to destroy the barbed wire.
Thus, HGs should really have special effect on trenches & bunkers -
Realistically, HGs are not more deadly to attackers than FGs, which might use shrapnel. If HGs high defense were replaced with some trench destroying capability, it would make the game less defensive and more offensive, and reduce the use of gas. Gas should have its use limited, say roll whether its allowed due to wind, and it’s attack value reduced. In reality, defenders learned to counter the effects of gas and the vagaries of wind made it dangerous to attackers or ineffective.
Modifying gas rules would be hard.
Some more sophisticated computer wargames keep track of ammo supply and usage. This is probably not what we want, but shell shortages were a significant factor in WWI, due to the massive usage and being more complex and expensive than mere bullets. -
@nasty FRenchies Paris here we come!.tsvg
-
I fart in your general direction!!
-
@Elrood I suspect my Gas is more potent .
-
@Witt I built 4 figs in London, expecting that you would spend heavily on tech (even tho 4 total was substantial) in hopes of getting gas or barrage tech that would have seriously increased the risk to Paris.
Feel bad for CP, as Entente has 3 propaganda already. The dice gods are on our side. There should be some consolation prize for rolling 4 dice in numerical order. -

@Entek Please wait on Austria until we discuss F/S
-
edited a trench from Paris to Tobruk. Hope that is ok
-
@Elrood if it means , I can capture Paris more easily , definitely: thanks .
-
@Witt yes… odds went from 1% up to a whooping 1,5%.
Good luck!

Will be on vacation until end of June… so either someone takes over France or you just wait it out. Is fine either way.
