The whole point of a fleet is to allow you to move land (and air) units around, or to stop the enemy doing so. So I am going to vote for transports (and carriers)!

@Colt45554 What! That is the second time those nasty Russians have attacked my superior liberating forces in Finland and slaughtered me. 40% odds only, but again won by a country mile. :anguished: +32 TUV! :scream:

@commander-puffin Good to hear from here and by PM. Glad to have you on board! :blush:

There are now 8 of us: @redrum, @Entek , @Witt , @aequitas-et-veritas , @Degrasse , @Elrood , me & @FMErwinRommel .

@FMErwinRommel is new to this groups but has posted above asking to join in. Is every happen to welcome another player to our fold?

1914 has a lot of Powers, one possible allocation being:

Centrals:

• Germany
• Austria
• Turkey & Communists

Entente:

• Britain
• France & Serbia
• USA
• Arabia & Italy
• Russia

So shall we roll dice and choose our powers according to that split?

We are the best of friends!

That’s what you think!!! :angry:

It seems that I should rejoin to finish this game at least. Sorry, all, for my rude departure. Thx to FM for his apology.

Hi Guys. I have been away for a few days, but see there are messages in my inbox from my allies suggesting we concede, so I believe you are safe to assume we are doing so.

I would like to play in the next game.

I suggest we give France Propaganda at the start of the game.

Last weekend’s BoB was less well attended with 4 players, but we had a great see-saw game of Anniversary.

The next Battle of Britain will be held on the 21st April 2024.

This all-day event is held in Derbyshire, UK. Typically we have 8 to 12 players, meaning up to three A&A games running - Anniversary, 1942.2 and 1914 - allowing everyone to decide which they wish to join.

@The-Captain Thanks! It’s a long trip, although if you hire a car, driving from Manchester Airport to the venue is 1 hr 20 mins. But it’s still not really practical unless you have other reasons to be in the UK.

When I looked at popping over to yours, that was the conclusion I reached too.

However, if you are ever in a position to join us, then you would, of course, be welcome.

A Perfidious Distortion of History by Jurgen Tampke

Found this a very interesting read. It attempts to dismantle the often accepted view that the Versailles peace treaty was so damaging that it lead directly to WW2. I did not find every argument advanced by Mr Tampke convincing, but there is a lot of worthwhile argument and analysis, covering the causes of WW1, the subsequent peace and so the causes of WW2. The general conclusion is that Versailles - being so very much less onerous than treaties imposed by Germany on its defeated enemies - did not deal with the underlying causes of European conflagration, allowing those to come to the fore again.

For anyone interested, here is The Times review of this book:
