In recent games I've been trying to max out air power. While I have a (semi-)solid grasp of the relative importance of land war techs, I'm not sure which air techs to research first. Fighters to establish air supremecy seems like a decent idea. Then Aerial Warfare to bump up unit build limits. Then ...

Michael-

Thanks for the heads-up about the edits in your post. As always, a highly informative and useful contribution to the forum [&o]

<t> Thanks for the fantasatic write-up, Michael! Super helpful stuff.<br/> <br/> I took your advice and ran a Hot Seat game to gt a better handle on naval spotting. Posting airships to the extreme north and south of Ireland worked well. The airships in Ireland were not attached to a HQ, but this has...

<t> I have difficulty coming up with a coherent Entente response to unrestricted submarine warfare. So I has some dumb questions.<br/> <br/> 1. When I see the message "German morale boosted by unrestricted submarine warfare" at the beginning of the Entente turn, does that mean a German sub is on (no...

Great AAR. Love the screenshots!

Did you use any diplomacy on Romania? Or were they simply overawed with the Russian performance in Galicia?

<t> Serbia is probably the best bet. If you keep Serbia alive until Greece joins the Entente, the Greeks can build one artillery at UK tech levels and you can blast your way to Vienna/Sofia/Constantinople.<br/> <br/> Against the AI, I tend to ship extra Western Front Entente units to both Serbia and...

<t> Yes! Demoralization was exactly the tip I was looking for. Thank you! I'm sure that function of shore bombardment is painfully obvious to most folks on here, but apparently I'm not most folks.<br/> <br/> mdsmall's Treatise on Supply is my new go-to cheat sheet. I'm slowly wrapping my head around...

Thanks OldCrowBalthazor! For some reason I had it in my head that the Belgrade partizan spawn hex didn't turn active until Serbia surrendered, so you saved me from getting burned [8D]

Bulgaria

Central Powers occupy Belgrade, 35% chance per turn 1-4% to CP

Does this fire if the CP simply controls the Belgrade hex, or does the CP have to place a unit in Belgrade?

This is great! Thanks for a very useful resource!

This is great. Thanks!

<t> I'm hoping the forum can offer some tips on when shore bombardment (and the resulting naval strength point losses) is worthwhile. I tend to be very conservative and only use dreadnoughts, and only when I can lower front line supply with the shore bombardment resource reduction (e.g. hitting Gaza...

Belated thanks for all the helpful replies

Sorry for the newbie question, but can someone spell out how submarine combat is different with the changes in the new patch?

Thank you for posting this. This forum is an invaluable resource for newbie doofuses such as myself.
