Russo-Turkish War 1877 Scenario

I am considering making a scenario for Russo Turkish war. At the moment i have very limited free time, but i think it can become a reality in the next few months, although i have never tried making a custom scenario. Heres a rough outline of the features:
-Danube front: Stretched russian supply ...

RE: Muslim / Arab Partisans

<t> I suggest that if you make the arab revolt an actual threat that cant be prevented, make the Arab revolt event give less of a penalty in NM to the ottomans, but add more NM objectives in the field to balance it out. It kind of sucks atm, since you dont care about the units too much, only the NM ...

Cattaro could be given a 10 as it was a more important base than others on dalmatian coast.

North sea will consist of 2 types of engagement(mostly concentrating on surface unit battles):<br/>
1. Channel/Belgian Coastline battles. You can use air here, to damage and spot enemies (spotting-baloons, damage-recon/maritime ...

RE: Refusing Brest-Litovsk?

<t> If CPs refuse, they need to finish off russia once more. The best way to do it is to rush Sankt Petersburg, with navy and army. If you capitulate them a second time, you will ocuppy all of russia, get a ludicous amount of plunder, for a cost of about 7 required detachments. If you do it and the ...

RE: Eliminating Montenegro on turn 2

<t> I feel like some changes are an overshot, because Serbia being easily killed when focused is not a bad thing, changes should focus on making it only a little bit fairer than it is. But its kind of like France falling in a WW2 game. I think that balkans need some adjustments, but mostly to Greece ...

RE: Which Techs do you rarely research?

<t> I think airship tech isnt bad, if you use it for naval spotting, although i think that germany should probably start with level 1 in comparison to all other countries, as it kind of doesnt make sense to equate their blimps in 1914 to equivalents from other nations.<br/>

RE: Eliminating Montenegro on turn 2

Making the rail go to Ragusa, and not connect Cetinje-Ragusa seems like easiest least punishing fix for CP. Similar ideas were discussed in this or other threads i think.

RE: Eliminating Montenegro on turn 2

About countering this move: if Serbs are stubborn, i think that Entente can invade albania instead, using port from malta, which requires some planning and im not sure if it would get on time.

RE: Eliminating Montenegro on turn 2

RE: Why are subs so much worse in this game vs WIE and WAW?

<t> In the last game against the AI i found that somehow DDs with no upgrades whatsoever were doing 2 damage each attack to my level 2 subs usually with acceptable supply (of course it went down), in silent mode. Is this how it always was? I remember rushing adv subs as germany to great effect a few ...

RE: Eliminating Montenegro on turn 2

<t> I suggest a change for the strategy. Honestly, you dont need to attack montenegro right away, and the german units may be used well elsewhere in those beginning turns, serbia wont be able to go on a offensive against austrians for some time.<br/>

Austrians should focus on attacking ...

Also, replacing the russian sub in the black sea with a destoryer would make the area much more interesting.

RE: CP and Entente Game Balance

<t> I think ottomans do need a second HQ in Caucasus, as stated before in the thread. Also, a Bulgarian Cavalry Corps at the beginning would be historical, as they had one of the most renowned cavalry generals of the war. I feel like the best CP strategy is after attacking belgium, a-h tries to take ...

RE: Proposal of change to mines

Subs are a separate topic probably. They are one of the best units for naval recon, probably the best for ambushes and also to cover your fleet from attack.

RE: Proposal of change to mines

<t> yes, after some time i think they should be used to cover your ships after attack, not as blockade. This is the most "meta" use. For example, If you sink some british ships, if move your more valuable ships back , with destroyers place a quick minefield to cover a counterattack.<br/>

RE: Playing the Austro-Hungarians . . .

In trento i use usually german units, it still can fall, but if bruneck and hex near it have back up corps it can be usually retaken. Italian AI has hard time postioning units on the eastern part of the line due to clutter, and maybe it could be improved.

This weakens Gallipoli region, but i found that even with 1 turn naval bombardment its pretty hard to use 1 unit from Murdos to capture 1 of 4 points of interest in the region ...
