RE: Romania entry in to the war

<t> They entered war (aug 27) following a string of defeats for AH. First the austrian offensive against Italy failed (may 14 - june 10), then Brusilov started his own (june 4), this in GOA means Russia occupies Czernowitz and the plans till the romanian border, and last the italians occupied ...

Romania entry in to the war

<t> Historically speaking it would be more realistic if romanian entry was subordinate to some conditions, that is:<br/>
1.Romania declares war only if Russia has units within Austro-Hungarian border and no russian city south of Lublin are occupied by Central Powers.<br/>
2.If russian units occupy ...

RE: First complete Game

<t> I need to explain better<br/>

<br/>
2) I always put the naval units and transports in the baltic sea but I've doubts to do the same in the atlantic. Do I need to send naval assets to ...

First complete Game

<t> After playing only a couple of years in previous games I have eventually played a full game that lasted untill october 1917. It was my victory as the CP player. My feeling is that the game is relatively simple to win as the CP (of course only against the AI!). I tried "Russia&Serbia first ...

Amphibious landing

<r> I have a question: is it possible to make amphibiuos landings on enemy territory? Untill now I've played only as CP and I am doing some experiments, last time I tried to control the Baltic and embark some units in Wihelmshaven to land them in Russia (Pietrograd and Riga <E>:)</E> but I was ...

First impressions

<t> This evening I've played my first game with GOA, I tried my "Russia &Serbia first" strategy as the Central Powers but played only two turns until now. I'm already very impressed with this game.<br/>
<br/>
1) The mechanism of HQ and refit. You really feel the frustation of a WW1 general with ...

RE: Counters for GOA

<r> I haven't installed GOA yet because I got some work to finish, I hope to play it ASAP. Howewer, in the screenshots I've seen until now, the italian uniform looks somewhat strange [&:] but I'm not sure untill I play the game. <br/>

In your counters it's easy to fix: just cancel the ...

RE: Version 1.2

<t> This thread already show the difficult of this option. Who decide who was bad or good generals? We are all biased by hindsights, national bias and lack of informations. <br/>
And how to rapresent it in the game? WW1 was a war of attrition not of generalship, some generals were better than ...

In part I agree, this expecially true for Russia, a lot has been lost in the revolution and then covered up by the communist regime. The language barrier is another problem. I still hope one day to read a well reaseached history of the eastern front.<br/>

RE: education

<t> The sad truth is that no one has already written a global history of the first world war. What we have got until now are some excellent histories of the "western front" with a general overview of the others. <br/>

Perhaps this may sound too harsh to my english-speaking friends but being ...

RE: World War One Mod


I hope one day this mod gets relaesed, I bought this game yesterday and have yet to learn to play.
However my main interest is WW1, I'd pay gold for a WW1 tactical game
