@Grinchveld How is this my turn? The last turn that completed is Japan6. The posted turn here is for USA 5, i.e., old turn.
It should be China’s turn 6, right?
NML 1914 - Team Game #5

Germany , please .

@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. -

@elrood I have in the past said that player skill is far more impactful than which side you have. That was following a game where you, redrum and witt took on entek, dawg, a et v and myself - if i remember the players correctly. We never had a chance but played it through to allow you guys to enjoy your victory. But I made this point at the end of the game in the hope that players would spread themselves around to even up the sides. I do hope that is what is happening.
Makes sense. so you like to have a gentlemens agreement of sorts?
Indeed. I mostly try to pick the opposite team as PP and Witt as I just enjoy watching them lose ;)

Just trying to make you happy redrum!

I want to try the buffed Turks
-
My turn to struggle with France! Good luck fighting against both me and witt @redrum
-
@private-panic Had to ruin it didn’t you… couldn’t just take Austria… you just took France as you know @Witt is playing Germany!
I guess I’ll take Austria then and try to carry @Witt to victory since the CPs haven’t won in a while.
@FMErwinRommel Your pick!
Picks
Dawg - USA
Witt - Germany
Colt - Turkey
Private P - France

@Entek UK
I enjoyed playing them in game 4, lots more freedom to act, as opposed to poor Russia, surrounded by wolves. -
I’ll Russia
Leaning Italy/Arabia for @Elrood
-
Okay everyone.
We are out tomorrow, visiting relatives , so I will start on Monday afternoon.
I will need to know who wants Marti dice and have those emails , please .
Unless someone else sets it up for me before Monday . I would appreciate that .
Have a good weekend all. -
Givem whom I am facing I wonder if I will have any capital after turn 5
-
@elrood we are happy to have it conceded to us , before we invade on A3. We are not monsters, who enjoy spilling innocent blood.
Although , perhaps my Germans do , when we think of those skulking, soft and weak Frenchmen. -
@elrood well… will be swift and decisive centrals victory anyways… 😅
-
No Marti emails for Rommel.
Given who is playing G and A in the new game, I say no bid sweetener. Keep T bid at industry tech and one infantry in each of his 3 IC’s. -
@fmerwinrommel and Colt is no Schnauser either. The initial bid was to support a player who is not a top strategist… so to say
-
But I Colt chose turks under the impression they get a bonus. To take it away now seems cheeky.
-
@elrood ah, I did not know that was the reason. I am cool playing vanilla, then!
-
@colt45554 so be it then. Thanks
-
@colt Turkey was given the benefit because we thought the sides needed balancing and T was the most vulnerable to being crushed. The benefit was fixed and set before players chose sides for each new game. It wasn’t conditional or variable based on player ability.
So let’s not set a new precedent for granting a benefit to Turkey. Turkey should get the same benefit it always gets. As UK, I’m up to the challenge of containing T in its “buffed” condition. En Garde -
@fmerwinrommel ah sorry, I missed the second part of your earlier message. Ok i will edit the game on my go just before turks.
