I am not disagreeing about what historically happened, and I am honestly saying I do not really know if it was possible in the era of WWI to have large stockpiles of ammunition. I mean perhaps the limit of 50 stored ammo is because the ...

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but since I've upgraded to 1.1.4 (the latest patch), my cruisers no longer seem capable of attacking submarines.<br/>

They can defend themselves and cause casualties back if attacked, but if they end their turn next to a sub, I cannot attack.<br ...

After playing the 1914 scenario about 8 times, 6 as the CP and twice as the Entente, (and losing my first five attempts), I think I've finally sorted out the CP opening, or more accurately *a* CP opening that works for me against the AI pretty consistently.<br/>
