The Wildfire Spreads (5-player game)

[Orm]

Now that CW has the pesky 20-range Sunderland on-map I would like to remind any followers of one of our house rules that could impact how it is used.

+ No air reaction for naval searches from the mainland to the North Atlantic. Reacting from the Azores is ok. And flying actively during own impulse is also ok.

We allow the claim on Bessarabia, and surrender to the threat of brute force.

It is with sadness in our hearts that we allow such a sad event to occur. Therefore, we wow to step up our defensive capability so that we, in the future, stand ready to defend the free, and democratic, world from the powers that threaten it. No more we say! The colonialism of France, United Kingdom, and USSR must end! We invite all democratic countries to join us in the struggle for a world free from tyranny!

Funny and impressive!

That was generated by AI?

[peskpesk]

Yes, it’s fun what you can do with it. But it’s sad that AI has become so good that only an expert can spot the subtle, telltale mistakes in texts and images if you try to hide them. Still, it’s nice that these tools can be put to good use in MWIF.
