You were right Bill,
he operated a HQ, 2 Corps and a Cavalry to Baku. I chatted after the game.

You chose not to operate the Northern Corps + Marines to the East? are your forces enough to stop the Russian steamroller into Galicia and West Prussia?

It is early game (Turn 2) and Ottomans are about to join the war, the Russians spawned 2 corps and a HQ somewhere near Baku, is what i could spot in the replay.

the test with shri resulted in serbia surrender in fall and game subsequently conceded by entente. problem not solved.


Serbia does need help, if Belgrade falls it triggers an avalanche.
Maybe the Serbian armies can all start united up-front or at full strength and lose their chit in Tech to ...

So, my latest PBEM opponent declared war on Persia as Russia and he received 2 Corps + 1 HQ.
This is some insane gamey move allowed by the Algorithm.
Can someone explain the logic of it? I meant the decision which awards free troops, not the move perse.

Ok just for the first 2 turns:

You can move a corps in Przemyl, and you also still have the 3rd cavalary. The first turns you can hold Lemberg, Russia should actually pay a high price to get it.

Without the Flensburg corps you can still put 1-2 corps from the initial mobilization to the east ...

I have created 2 open PBEMs to check/play Icarus 7.0 version.

Would prefer to play someone with some experience of the ICARUS mod, with the usual ICARUS house rules -
1. No selling tech in turn 1
2. No sending EU minor units to MeNa.

Hi shri - I have changed the access settings for the Dropbox link above. Try it again: it should work now for you.


Thanks i downloaded it.
Why does Austria not start with the DD? protecting the Adriatic became extremely tough suddenly.
With Serbia being ...

Unable to download, any issue?

Let me know if the ICARUS 7.0 campaign is still open. Thanks.

You seem to be trying to defend everything, that is not possible. You need to give up some things to save the rest.

Ok just for the first 2 turns:

You can move a corps in Przemyl, and you also still have the 3rd cavalary. The first turns you can hold Lember, Russia should actually pay a high prize to get it.

Without the Flensburg corps you can still put 1-2 corps from the initial mobilization to the east.

Serbia badly needs some help/tweaking, maybe the Serbian corps can start out at full strength and this will delay a Blitz by Austria.

Austria can be helped/compensated for this Serbian enhancement by offering an extra detachment to start at partial strength on the Adriatic coast or Bukhowina ...

Your Serb start looks good, we should replay again, let me know if ok.
But probably Serbia needs some minor tweaking, the Uzice corps needs to be in full strength and the rear corps at half strength, this protects it but from being killed and thus protects the left flank.
The right flank can be ...

Hey Hannaj,
The corps i meant is in game and IRL, 1 Corps IRL meant 50k troops, 5 corps is ~250k troops, roughly the losses of Tannenberg + 1st Masurian for Russia and also roughly the losses for France in Battle of the Frontiers, in Addition the whole Belgian army, another 200k and about 50k Serbs ...

The chances of Belgrade falling in Turn one is more like 30% than 50%.
Also the Russians can open up Galicia if CP goes all out in Serbia.

French supplies + some units + Russian covoys + some suicidal Russian cavalry attacking along the Eastern front gaps will be sufficient counter.
Entente is ...

ROUND-2 RESULTS: We still have 3 outstanding games in process. ....
Moongazer (Ent) v Alantar (CP) Alantar says he thinks he might have a chance to make it to 1918. Entente may win this though.

Ricardo (Ent) v Yrekaaa (CP)
Yrekaaa also says his Austrians have turned around, a bit, since ...

This is what ultimately weakens Germany in game far more than the blockade. Being shackled to a corpse.


Perhaps Germany should have thought about that before issuing a "blank cheque" in July 1914 in support of their ally!




Definetely.

There is an apocryphal story of the General staff ...

//The bizzare glitch of Austria-Hungary breaking up into five new states when its national morale was still 34% did not in fact change the equation very much.//

This is not a glitch, it is quite historical though it comes out as a glitch.
This is what i keep repeating on all forums and e-mails ...

Hi, started checking the mod out, soooo here goes some random observations :P Although I'm not too experienced with WW1 title, but I came around to like it.


- Major power resources no longer have an intrinsic NM value, e.g. 12 points for towns or 25 points for cities. This means that Germany no ...
