NML 1914 team game 16

@Witt You only want to see Germany suffer a pointless struggle, like in your Global40 - 1943 mod :-P
-
@Elrood I want to see Germany defeated , yes, crushed into pieces and as small as Belgium .
-
Usually, G doesn’t go all out and France survives and then becomes very strong. And USA busies itself with conquering Central America and Spain before seriously helping in Europe. Then G is tied up defending against F, UK and USA.
I like the idea of not making it all about Paris but rather balancing out the rest of the global battlefield.
What if G got a small bonus bid to place extra starting units in Pacific or maybe Africa, but that couldn’t be used in Europe, and couldn’t build anything in Berlin until G3? So, no massive cav or gas builds in Berlin on G1 or G2. Merckle could still build 6 units, but G might choose to build navy or transports for Scand. Then F wouldn’t need or get any bonus bid. G might have to go defensive on Western Front.
Then Pacific could become a more balanced and bigger theater of operation. Although not historically accurate. -
We’re getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s continue the game until Paris actually falls.
@Witt The game map de-emphasizes the Eastern Front. It’s up to Austria, Turkey and Commies to take out R. We’ve had some great struggles in central Africa between G and UK. The Pacific has potential if we push G in that direction. -

Simon.Tressel, who just joined Triplea forum, contacted me and said he started playing NML against the computer but would like to join our team game. I said we welcome new players, but we may have reached the end of our long run of games due to waning interest on the game being unbalanced.
Adding a newbie might help us to carry on. NML has been criticized for being too defensive, while at the same time, games 15 and 16 have shown that an all-out early G effort against Paris is very doable. In this game, G got tech and F didn’t. But Brits showed that they could make an extraordinary early effort to reinforce Paris, greater than in prior games.
With different players playing different sides and with a few minor tweaks to the game rules, I think we can give new life to the game. Adding new players will help.
Does anybody know this new player? If we decide to play a game 17, shall we invite him to join us? -

Sorry, all, witt asked me to do GB and I didn’t get around to it yesterday. Will do so later today.
@FMErwinRommel Always happy to welcome new players to the group. Plus I don’t have a waning interest for the game and am keen to keep playing.
We just need to help F to withstand the G5 attack and so make the game more interesting. This is easy to do and we have done it before, but for some reason we keep revisiting all the options that don’t actually address the issue directly. F needs any one of industry, propaganda or bunkers. I suggest industry, which means F has to pay for any additional defense of Paris.
As I keep saying, when I played F with Industry, I was able to survive beyond G5, but it really was touch and go. Which is as it should be. We just did it the once I think. So the test was a success. But you didn’t like it. Why don’t you play F with Industry before making up your mind?
We keep loading other changes on top of that which just cause a complicated debate, meaning we get nowhere.

@Private-Panic If france feels free to repeatedly buy colonials for Algier and Tobruk and plane for Marssaille, then I see no need to adjust anything in their favor… when Germany shows his hand by going all out towards Paris starting G1, then every franc MUST be spent on defense of Paris.
