Germany or France? I have wanted to have an easy game as the US for yonks but the one time Wayne doesn’t nab them Seb sneaks in!

I will do France again then.

French Channel and Med fleets under the command of perfidious Albion!

@Witt OK then!

GB colonial at 2 [dice 1d6]
GB HG at 2 [dice 1d6]
GB supported cav at 2 [dice 1d6]
GB cav at 1[dice 1d6]

F got VBs - here are the dice rolls:

@Elrood Somebody must have airbrushed that photo to make him better looking!

@Elrood Sorry - my boffins are still celebrating their previous successes. I have executed a few to encourage the rest, so next turn is a certainty!

We have shared our language with the rest of the world and all you do is bowdlerise it!

Thank you all for keeping me entertained with the boffin variations. So much better than playing A&A!

@FMErwinRommel Pure strategic brilliance of course!

With @FMErwinRommel dropping out, that leaves four of us, if I include @dawgoneit , who may have been put off by the changes.

So - do @Entek ,@VictoryFirst and @dawgoneit want to join me in another game with no major changes to the set up?

May Captain Walker now join us? Or anyone else?

@FMErwinRommel You enjoyed sinking my navy so much that I thought I should afford you the opportunity to continue to do so.

@dawgoneit Russia has Armour! Whoo!

@dawgoneit Done!

Commies are up @Entek

@Elrood, that’s @Witt for you! Always the gentleman. Hence his Frenchies failure to take the Rhine!

@FMErwinRommel If you really wanted to do that, FM, you should have volunteered to play France.

In any case, more interesting would be to revert to an adjustment that made the capture of Paris more difficult. After much experience of the game we used to do this. Then you joined us, FM, and were keen to stop it following a game in which my F survived. But, as I said at the time, it really was touch and go, despite the pro-French adjustment, which I think might have been the Industry tech.

@simon-tressel PBF is okay as well as PBEM. Both send marti dice rolls to those nominated. We all used to use PBF but some of us (well, me at least!) started getting error messages and switched to PBEM. It is less convenient than PBF as you have to manually copy and paste your game turn view and also save and upload the game file. So if PBF is working for you then carry on using it.

@FMErwinRommel Your comments are appreciated as always
