    • RE: [Game 5] TGC (Entente) v DoManMacgee (CP) -oob, no bid, RR

      @the_good_captain Alright. Looks like Ottomans are going to die long before I’m going to be able to make anything happen in Italy or France. GG.

      If you want a chuckle go into the history tab and look at how many times I rearranged that turn before deciding on the completely generic option.

      I changed my French build from 2 TT/1 INF/3 ART to 3 INF/3 ART/1 FTR. It wasn’t based on anything that happened during the turn, I had meant to use the latter build instead of the former, but ended the purchase phase before I could change it. If you take issue with this, just edit the build back during the Ottoman turn.

      I had to fumble around with Edit Mode a lot to get my move to go through properly but tl;dr:
      -6 INF loaded from London into the 3 TTs.
      -3 unloaded TTs from Karelia went back to London.
      -3 loaded TTs from London went to Karelia and reinforced (but no combat was pressed).

      Rest of the turn is pretty cut-and-dry.

      @the_good_captain Last note on this: Charging Kiel is an absolutely awful idea due to the extremely devastating impact mines can have on the game if a few go off in an untimely fashion.

    • RE: TGC(CP) v DoManMacgee(Entente) [game 6]

      @the_good_captain Yeah I had lots of stuff go completely sideways on me this time.

      I poorly distributed my initial guys in Poland and botched the dice on dealing with the German fleet (in hindsight, I probably should have tried attacking with the R Battleship to try getting a lucky hit in), which more-or-less locked me out of getting any British guys to Karelia in time to impact things at all. That in turn snowballed the Russian front out of control to the point where Russia died way too early, which in turn negated the benefits I’d carved out for myself on the Western Front (you were able to literally send 100% of the German build west on G5, which was basically the last nail in the coffin).

      If I were to try that “hold Poland R1” move again, I’d probably have to be content with leaving Ukraine empty, which creates its own problems as I’m sure you can imagine.

      @the_good_captain Yeah 1914 is really REALLY weird with the rules. As you saw during our games I stepped on a lot of rakes myself.

      Anyway, if you wanna start up another round I’m game (let’s swap off again though). I won’t be ready to go until tomorrow or Tuesday though.

      R3.tsvg I appreciate the “pop goes the weasel” move into Lavonia with Germany. That has fast become a stock move for me as the CP. This is the first time I’ve been on the Entente side of it. Really reduces the Russian options…

      Since my reply didn’t post last time:

      I got that idea from your games, actually. That positioning is an easy way to force the Russians to either leave Ukraine or give up Moscow.

      I messed up and forgot to attack Alsace with the Austrian stack in Belgium so I did some edit mode shenanigans. I rolled a hit for both the Austrians and the French so I lost 1 AH ART but took back the territory. Considering I had no other relevant combat, I hope you’ll take me on my word on this one.

      Watching that turn play out in real time was an anxiety attack in and of itself.

      I swapped out 1 Ottoman INF in Tartarstan and 1 AH INF in Moscow for “Neutral Central” counterparts in order to allow the rest of the CP units to move out. I also converted the remaining Russian territories to “Contested” control just so I/we can better measure the IPC/TUV counts going forward.

      @the_good_captain I know. I just had to sleep on G8 to decide which direction to send the German stack. The AH turn was more set in stone.

      Seeing as it’s Thanksgiving today, I’m not sure if I’m gonna be able to get another turn out until way later tonight. Have a good holiday.

      @the_good_captain Rolled a desperation AH attack and it went about as badly as you can imagine. GG.
