The CP concede,
conditional on the USA returning all neutral territories to their rightful owners and destroy all ICs by Earth Day. :blush:

Wow, Belg is cursed for the Entente. After France’s great odds failed, I rolled 0-9 in the first 3 rounds, finally won.

Wow, Brits tech luck from last game transferred to me in this game. 1 tech die on the opening round and I got a hit. If this continues like in the last game, it will be sweet.

@colt45554 The political leaders have once again voted to increase the already significant build capacity advantage that T has over Cairo. The Sick Man of Europe took Mecca in 3 turns! Lawrence of Arabia hasn’t even had his morning tea yet. This deadly dance is keeping me up at night, trying to balance the fronts and optimize my limited resources.

What international disaster happened when the waiter dropped the Thanksgiving platter? It was the destruction of China, the downfall of Turkey and the overthrow of Greece. :blush:

@dawgoneit said in NML 1914 Team Game 9:

I’m leaving on Saturday and will be back on Wednesday or Thursday.

No doubt on an inspection tour of the Heer (army) and Kriegsmarine (navy).

When I was growing up, I knew a very nice man who had emigrated to the U.S. from Germany sometime after WWII. As a youth, he was a sailor in the Kriegsmarine, on a mine sweeper in the Adriatic during WWII. He survived a Russian POW camp.

@colt45554 No rush, enjoy. There are woods in N Dakota?

@Colt45554 wow, thank you very much. Mr. Aggressive is showing a different side.

@Colt45554 It appears that your edit reduced 3 infantry builds in Rome to instead build a DD in sz57. That’s okay with me. Just checking.

@Private-Panic no rush, I am away and won’t be back until midweek.

Yikes. GB out dices me in N Rhod, then Rus outdices me in E Poland, with a perfect strafe, killing 9 of 10, and thus doesn’t take E Pol but retreats to Warsaw. Rus is killing me.

@dawg: you’re up as USA.

After Turks suffered unexpectedly heavy losses taking Cairo, Colt took no chances attacking Tiksi’s 2 defenders with 45 ground troops.

@Colt45554 Wow, T has so many units and the history log was so long, that I can understand why you might need to edit. The sick man of Europe is now the strong man of Africa. You’ve gobbled up all the unguarded income producing northern and western African colonies of the Entente. Second in PUs and Production, 5th in units and TUV.

Will any of you Brits/Germans be watching the Super Bowl of American style football? Too late at night for most of you. The halftime shows are terrible. What passes for music and dance are just loud noise and crude gyrations. Most of the famous innovative million-dollar ads are a thing of the past.

Well, back to guts and glory.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :

I needed to take Vlad with my 75% odds in order to be in a strong position in Pacific. But no tech and -10.67 attack makes this hopeless.

@Witt picks first - here’s your chance to play plain vanilla T or more likely, UK against plain vanilla T.

Picking Order
99 Witt
97 Rommel
57 Entek
42 VictoryFirst
24 Dawg
11 Elrood Back to poor die rolls again
4 Private Panic

Choose from:
Ger
Fra/Ser
Aus
Ita/Ara/USA
Tur/Com
UK
Rus

I will set up team game 14 for Witt using current version 2.522294.

French CA sinking Turk CA & tt was very helpful, freed up Serb CA, eliminated Turk amphib threat and improves Entente fleet defense…

I’ll try to get to UK turn late today. It’s a nice day outside to catch up on grass cutting after being out of town. Will take me a while to decide what to do with all those units, as it’s been a while since I’ve played Britain.

@dawgoneit Please use this edited version of Russia.
@Private-Panic thanks very much for catching my big oversight. Would have been disaster.
