I thought to myself “how did he know my first name? I never gave it I think” Then I realized you meant Serbs. :-)

@Karl7 only thanks to the impeccable play by our dear Colt!

@FMErwinRommel You are talking gibberish! :-P

@captainwalker @FMErwinRommel Nah, simply showing my disrespect for centrals by trolling you with a TT :-P

@VictoryFirst glad you made it so far and bested the Turks! ☺️

@FMErwinRommel I am telling you… my Italian cav made all the difference!!!

@Private-Panic it is not a camp. it is the league of extraordinary englishmen

@FMErwinRommel said in 1914 Game 17: Simon as Germany, PP as Austria and nasty Witt as Turkey.:

@simon-tressel You can at least give some guidance

E.g. what kind of envelope the formal surrender by centrals should be delivered in 😅

@VictoryFirst Glad you are ok. Your message is well received I would guess, since a lot here were worried! :-)

I will do my best to lead Germany as good as it can get!

@Witt or he keeps the tradition of the 1914 Christmas truce

@Celvus:

Thanks for the quick Answer Elrood! :-)

I Still find this Rule a little Strange. So the Allied Fraction just stands beside the Sea Fight watching the Battle and drinking some Beer?.  :|

Well, if that helps, imagine a vast seazone where the UK DD and Russian Sub are not in some battle group but actually far away from each other.  :-)

@Celvus:

Anyway since we play by the Rules we have to respect that. :-)

Good choice, there is nothing against house rules, but I would not mess with something integral like that. The befits of mixed fleets are already crazily good.

for example. UK / US fleets mass in SZ109 or 110. You think Berlin is save since you have a DD in SZ112 and few troops in Denmark, and have not many troops in Berlin (may be even none).
Then:
US fleet takes Denmark and after that UK goes into baltic sea and attacks Berlin, killing Germany most likely with that move. - Axis have no way to interact between US and UK moving… so its really nasty.

That happened to more than one inexperienced player, since it takes some time to “see” these possible scenarios.  :wink:
Just to let you see the possibilities

@Panther yes, server seems to be stressed now and then. last two days (29th and 30th of Nov.) it got really bad. Forum was not accessible several times I tried…

here it is

“Subs” …

No Edit, No Delete last Post … the new forum is a step backwards! :-(

If Germany attacks your DD (Germany’s Turn), the Russian Sub will defend as well, since both are allied.

If the UK destroyer attacks the German Sub (UKs Turn), then the DD will fight alone against the German Sub and the Russian Sub will stay completely outside of the battle. This is since never ever can a combined force attack another power.

Every factions attacks on its own. Weather or not friendly units are present.
Similar example would be: US aircraft carrier which has an UK fighter and an US Fighter loaded. If being attacked, both planes would start and defend the contested Seazone.

But if the the carrier attacks some german ships, the UK fighter will remain on board the Carrier and not start to fight. It will be treated as “cargo” - like infantry on a transport… and will have to hope that US wins the fight.

@CentralCommando but coming to think of it… I could imagine some bot browsing for buzz words and then starting the attack automatically… like „China war casualties“ etc… China takes great effort to clean up its history like tiananmen etc.
might be a bit far fetched but technologywise it is plausible.

all is good now… no edit. please proceed

@witt although the naming was criticized for implications to Nazi Germany and atrocitoes of the Wehrmacht (something we do not like to glorify in any way)

@CentralCommando and now you added Poo to the buzz words! Will only be downhill from here!!! 😅😅

I choose England
