Facilities should become damaged when captured. Currently, the only loss resulting from capture is downgrading major ICs to minor IC (aside from ICs in China being destroyed). This primarily benefits Germany, which can gain 3 Russian minor ICs, plus 3 bases, at no cost, aside from SBR damage by Axis. I propose that captured minor ICs and bases should receive maximum damage (6 points) each time they are captured, due to battle damage or deliberate demolition by retreating enemy.

@Witt @aequitas-et-veritas Happy birthday to the both of you. How coincidental.

Now that I know about it, its okay there.

Austria mourns the lose of Zeppa. After a distinguished career terrorizing the Entente, burning Paris, London and his favorite target Rome, he pushed his luck one time too far and was shot down by AA fire over Rome. His crew wanted him to wait out the season, so he could join in the land attack against Italy. But that wasn’t his style, preferring to fly solo or with his partner Zepbe. RIP Zeppa.

@witt Of course, you were UK last game.
I hope you try a novel strategy instead of the same old Paris fetish.
The final jeopardy category a day or two ago was “famous ships”. The question was what ship wreck was located in 1989, 48 years after it sank and 96 years after the death of the person that it was named for. 2 contestants chose the Andrea Doria, but the current champion and I knew it was the Bismarck.

Wow, Sweden is a tough neighborhood. Both neutral defenders hit. Then the Brits weakened me for the Ruskies to take their shot. Less than half of my 16-man army survived the first turn. Good thing I take HGs along with me. Finland bulked up quickly. May have to stay in Sweden for a massage from a blonde beauty and eat some Swedish meatballs.

@colt45554 8 more hits and I received 6. You were down to 2 damaged BB’s, so I took the second DD instead. I just sank your fleet.

Yesterday was the 127th running of the Boston Marathon… Its the oldest, most famous and prestigious modern marathon. Its been ten years since the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013. The race is always run on Patriots Day, which is always on a Monday.
I commemorated it by running 3 1/3 miles around the neighborhood in my 2013 running outfit that my wife bought at the running store at the finish line, just hours before the bombing.
Being a New York born Yankee, I didn’t appreciate Boston until I ran the 2009 and 2013 marathons and experienced the hospitality of the city and the comradery of the friendly worldwide competition. That’s what made the bombing so senseless and sad.

In 2013, I crossed the finish line 23 minutes before the bomb blasts. My time was 3 hours, 46 minutes. Pretty decent for being 65 years old at the time. I felt bad for those who were prevented from finishing, after running 25 miles, because the race was halted.

@VictoryFirst No, the best powers for a newbie are Italy/Arabia/USA.
When players want an easy or quick turn, they would choose Italy/Arabia, whose theaters of operation are local. When we lost a player, we combined USA with them. USA is also a good starter position, as the early turns are just spent expanding on manifest destiny against neutrals, and the German opening gambit to Mexico (we’ll explain later). Afterwards, as USA income and units grow, it’s homeland is safe, and USA can choose where to shore up the Entente. Elrood might fill you in on playing USA in this past game.

Turk/Com requires a strong player now that the industry tech opening bid has been removed. Turks face UK from India and must try to take Cairo, while facing naval war with UK.

@dawgoneit Cousin Nicky, don’t listen to cousin George and Poincare’. They each have ulterior motives. George wants to take Norway and Oslo for himself. Good old cousin Willie has your best interest at heart.

@simon-tressel Boffins is the British slang term for scientists.
You need to get yourself some boffins.

@simon-tressel You’re still unlucky in technology. I bought another die to make it 6 dice, just in case, but I didn’t need to. I finally got barrage, so watch out. I don’t expect to get to Berlin, but Rhine would be nice.
@Witt @Private-Panic Help me out guys, what was that Brit slang term for scientist?

@simon-tressel I can hardly wait “Berlin or Bust”.
