Also I appreciate that mdsmall is getting the mod played out as it works out the kinks of his monumental effort.
Cheers

Thanks!
Yes, his baby is turning out to be quite good. Probably the best mod I've played in all of SC series.

Turns 45-50 (August-September 1917) The game has reached its deciding point. A little spoiler - this will be the last report. But it ended quite unexpectedly! As August rolled in, Austria-Hungary has suddenly started to collapse. Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia have declared their independence, ...

Turns 43-44 (July 1917) So here is my plan - just reverse Schlieffen the Germans. I know that most of the Dutch army spawns in Holland with only one detachment in Maastricht. My cavalry is not in position but British infantry should be able to reach Cologne anyway. However, if he has infantry reser...

Turns 37-42 (June-July 1917) - Well, it happened. Tsar abdicated, Lenin has arrived and Russia is on the clock. But so is Germany - Turnip winter and tightening blockade send their NM in a downward spiral. Will the CP be able to force Russia out of the war before German people will call out for pea...

Turns 33-36 (March-May 1917) I've decided to cover two turns in one post, since the game've slowed down a little bit. In April Britain and France launch their united major offensive against the Germans in Belgium. My opponent did get Infantry weapons 2 and have started re-arming his infantry but mo...

Turns 31-32 (January-February 1917) Winter gave me a neccessary pause to start the redeployment. I rail Brusilov, two infantry corps and the heavy artillery from Galicia to Estonia. This will relieve a lot of pressure from Austro-Hungarians, so I keep the rest of artillery there to prevent his atte...

So, talking about strategies. Despite higher than usual Germany casualty rate, they still have 75 units deployed across all fronts. Their NM took a big hit during the Turnip Winter of 1916-1917 but all of their NM remain out of reach. So, the easiest way to capitualte them is to get rid of their all...

Turns 25-30 (November 1916 - January 1917) https://i.imgur.com/q5ED19Q.png An entire of war has passed. I've decided to do one big post instead a couple smaller ones and mostly to talks about strategy and statistics since not much have happened in that time. Snow season put most of the fighting on ...

Turn 23-24 (October 1916) Replay: - Germans go north towards Revel. They skirmish with defenders of Pernov a little bit and their cavalry is pushing along the shores of the lake. If he gets lucky with the weather, he can cut the railway to Revel, something to be mindful of - Canadians are obliterat...

Turns 21-22 (September 1916) Replay: - Germans push forward in Latvia, destroy heavily battered corps and capture Smilten. The road to Pskov lies open - German subs with second upgrades are spotted in the Baltic. Good thing I got ASW 2 on the previous turn - Austro-Hungarians pull back a bit in Gal...

Turns 17-18 (August 1916) Honestly, I was expecting the Germans to go on a massive offensive in the west on the next turn but instead nothing happened... A few artillery barrages were fired across the front but that's it. The same eerie slience descended across other fronts. Really strange. Maybe h...

Germany in 1914 start gets super experienced corps and Generals by 1916, they are the reason for late game dominance despite crashing NM. AH in this mod loses like ~20% Morale in end of 1916 (at least it did in the 1914 start game) from the death of the old Kaiser and the blockade and extra blockad...

Turn 15-16 (August 1916) Replay: - All Quiet on the Western Front - As well as on the eastern - Turks abandon Mosul! - And Senussi retreat into the desert too As usual, I check the west first. Spot a German corps in Ypres with only 78% readiness (probably without HQ attachment or this is the one th...

Turn 13-14 (July 1916) Replay: - Germans retaliate near Lille and destroy one British corps there, no advance - Ottomans are pulling troops to Mosul - Senussi block the port of Tobruk - and not much really happened this time, aside from occassional sub spotting My first thoughts - he probably got A...

Having been on the other end of this scenario as a tester (as CP) and having lost, CP is terribly weak as compared to Base Game. CP Ottomans are close to collapse (mostly historical, though Kut survival shouldn't be easy, perhaps Ottomans can start with the HQ here in Jan itself), to make the Kut d...

Turn 11-12 (July 1916) Replay: - Minsk is taken. Well, it was expected. Still hurts - Germans yet again attack Lille. British artillery provides fire support and though they did eliminate it, casualties were quite high (10-7 ratio). They do not advance, again - They make another attack east of Vedr...

Turn 9-10 (June 1916) Replay: - Here comes the suspected attack on Trento, supported by AH heavy artillery (so now he has only one at best in Galicia, something to note). And... it fails! After several hits defenders are nowhere close to being destroyed. - He is still going at Minsk. And with two f...

Turn 7-8 (May 1916) Replay: - Germans strike Lille with artillery and recapture it - He did break through Russian lines at Minsk and hit my arty but only for -3. Keeping it there was a good move, German took hits on two of their elite 11* infantry corps. - Bulgarians are shuffling in front of Frenc...

Hello Cuirassier2 I was just about to send you a PM. But I just realised that I can't send PMs. I have contacted the admins about this. If I can send PMs I will send you a message with the password. I would choose the middle powers. @ Moon1 Same problem as above. Ok. I'll just host a game, account ...

Turn 5-6 (March-April 1916) Replay: - Well, he got Ypres but there is not much I could have done about it, at least I saved an HQ and put Belgian corps there - the German navy pulled back in the Baltics and blocked the way with a mine. Now the Russian navy is trapped in the Gulf of Finland. Well, I...
