@VictoryFirst Forgot the French (nothing weird happened, though), but here is the UK:
Combat Hit Differential Summary :
Ottomans regular : -0.50
British regular : -1.00
I meant how do you get the single dice you roll for extraneous artillery and such?
You’ll notice I edited my purchase at the end of my turn. I meant in the first place to buy a fighter, but I guess I accidentally clicked on the artillery. You may not care, but I still thought I’d mention it for the sake of full disclosure. No cheating intended.
@SuperbattleshipYamato Understandable, since mine is also starting soon. Maybe we’ll catch each other another time. I am just planning on wrapping up the ones I already have going.
@SuperbattleshipYamato Maybe not, but I think I’ll be pragmatic and just concede. I had fun being adventurous, but it is clear that there is no path to victory for the CP, and in 3 turns you will be contesting Constantinople, have my Austrians on defense in Trieste, and Germany will be forced to pull back everywhere. I don’t have the economy to support any front right now. Well played.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :
@King_Of_Tanks It is a strategy that I don’t necessarily plan on, but if a good opportunity presents itself, I will take it. I have never had a CP win that came quickly. “Quick” wins are won by the Entente because the CP concedes after realizing that the economy isn’t in their favor and the fronts are all stalemates in turn 8/9 or so. If you want a quick win, don’t play the CP. :)
@King_Of_Tanks I did this a few weeks ago as the CP, actually, and it worked. I will say that it required a few lucky rolls and contested zones to work, but I didn’t have Bombay until around turn 15, and that only happened because I built German navy and threatened London, which forced my opponent to buy on London. The problem with taking Bombay is that none of the three CP can send enough units to actually have a good attack, since you’ll only be using 1/3 of the available units to attack what the UK has been stacking turn after turn. Far more effective is, if you can manage it, to stack all your CP units in Persia and just make a huge defensive blockade that keeps the UK bottled up. Sending even 2 or 3 inf. from AH and Germany per turn can seriously bolster the Ottoman defenders, and the UK will be forced to have an arms race to prevent you from suicide attacking Bombay.

Just a heads up: I had to edit the Italian inf. into Albania since I believe the game counts the AH transport as making the SZ hostile, thought the rules specify that it does not.
@VictoryFirst I don’t know how you post those dice. I actually did roll a die for it and it was also, I believe, a 4. How do you post it?
