@colt45554 Wrong World War :-D

@elrood but “laughs in prussian” is surely funny… hehe

@witt does not matter where we will bury the invaders

@private-panic They are, I asked Witt via messenger and he agreed with Rommels logic

@witt I am laying the groundwork for the legendary German city planner: Bomber Harris :-D

@private-panic That does not sound very challenging!

@Witt and Pearl Harbor:

I remember in XDAP 2on2 tournament finale (here in the forum), some well placed air base by Russia to a territory which held a sizable amount of US Bombers, enabled us to take out a critical axis position and was what essentially sealed our victory, which was not so certain before.

good memories

@fmerwinrommel

@fmerwinrommel wow! You ran a full marathon in under 4h? And that at 65 no less! I am really impressed

@private-panic said in NML 1914 Team Game 8:

I am also 65 and managed 100 yards in 4 mins 57 seconds recently. Do I also merit your accolades Seb?

No Adam, that makes me just weep for you! 😅

@colt45554 We had some good battles, BUT made no ground… The setting does not really promote aggressive play… you fight hard over deeply entrenched 1 or 2 PU territories, and meanwhile Entente gets richer each turn.

may be it is just me, but I see no other path than Paris for Centrals to balance they playfield. albeit after Paris game is usually over anyways…

G40 and WaW are kind of forcing a strategy onto Axis as well, but NML seems really one tracked in comparison… hmm :-/

Personality also has strong influence on the game I think.
E.g. it is important for UK to align their moves with its Allies, hence Leo is best for the job because he is networked with all of us and like to talk strategy

@entek Congrats. US won a 25% battle in Tokyo… the dice do not like Yamamoto in this game at all… :-) Cursed ever since attacking Pearl Harbor! :-O

@witt Tokyo is our small token to you, so you can save face, while losing the War against my German brethren

@witt wait wait wait!!! Will we play to see the liberation of Tokyo by finnish marines?!
