This doesn't just happen on the Cyprus/Greece route. It also happens on the Morocco/France route.

So, how do you explain the fact that when AH naval units are placed on a convoy route alone they have no effect?
No other nationality is beating them to the punch when they are there alone.

I would ...

they dont start with a cav unit though?

Specify, which lane? Was it actually sending MPP when the AH unit was placed. Was it active, not seasonal?

And did the AH unit have raiding enabled?

I assure you it is your mistake, as raiding with austrian units (serbian and egypt convoys) always works for me (if i go for it).

Wether diplos work sometimes different than stated as research does in this game i dont know. that is a question for the developer.

To say it briefly, your math (0.5%) is still a bit off as probability is a bit more complex.

You have this scenario 1.(35*33)*(35)*(35*33) in your post
Just looking ...

Hi, Sorry about the long post, explanation and rant about bulgarias mobilization events incoming.
the last double (?) chit i would not consider lucky. And your stochastic looks at the one potential exact path this diplo happened but leaves out many branches in the probablity tree, therefore the ...

I should add to my comments above that getting a unit to Basra before the Ottomans enters the war also requires the Germans to send the Goeben to Pola, rather than Constantinople. The CP side has to slow down Ottoman mobilization by foregoing the 20 - 30% swing which they receive if the Goeben is ...

I think I have a solution for this, that being to delay the increase in strength of all supply giving resources south of Baghdad until after the Ottomans have entered the war.

That way they can still send troops to Mesopotamia, but sending them further south, i.e. to Basra, would not only take ...

It is the end of the entende turn January 2nd 1915 where the Ottoman join the CP. At this point there was already a corps in Basra. It impossible for the UK to send 2 or 3 corps there to conquer Basra and the Ottomans may send reinforcents until this could happen (Artillery levle 1 is not ...

artillery is king in this game. air force becomes relevant espiecially for the entente mid game onwards.

but the early game is deiciding for the midgame and even late game outcome.

germany can destroy up to 6 artilleries the first turn which reduces ententen ability to counterattack the first 10 ...

sure, what scenarios/rules?

I in 1914 prefer centrals but play usually both sides.

I would say mirror match, you can decide on soft production limit, fog of war and selling research, opening west or east.

If you want to spice things up we can say germany has to fight the british navy and capitulate britain, else no victory ...

Hi dear all,
I am looking for rather experienced opponents to play games, preferably in mirror mode.
I on average can do more than one turn per day most days of the week.

I prefer the 1914 grand campaign and the 1917 campaign but i am open to DLC campaigns and other battle campaigns aswell.
I ...

Great to see your tournament and motivation going strong.
Did miss it entirely due to RL and hope to join in the next one or slitherine again.

Hi Jazon,
I had 6 matches each until victory (despite some bugs which lead to repeated turns due to our game jumping from turn 96 back to turn 80 in the last one). I must say it was a nice experience and because i had a high score in the first game (#3 in balkans, felt i did MUCH better in tsars ...

Hello,
A turn reset happened in my game. I pmed Billrunacre with ID and screenshots in the discord.
It happened today at ca 1pm cet.
It happened twice. I was in the turn 85 uploaded my turn and 2 minutes later the challenge was green and at 83 again. Had to redo turn.

Ok, maybe failed upload i ...

Hi - that is a completely new gambit and a good demonstration of the scope for lateral thinking that exists in this game. However, it is hard to imagine that sinking that many German MPPs into buying expensive major power diplomacy chits to at the start of the game is a good investment. Germany's ...

Hello, in a recent game i tried to keep britain out of the war as long as possible during an east first strategy as germany.
Key stats
Campaign date: 27 March 1915 (Turn 19)
Britain at 99%
Diplomacy (into britain) invested Ger: 1350, Aus 600, Tur 450. Fra 150. So 2400 MPP vs 150 MPP spent to keep ...

Hello, it might be that we played but i dont have screenshots of it, so idk.

I tried east first only like 5 times but like 50 games west first. I deploy 1 corps and 2 cav corps in the west, the rest east.
I always send the decision austrian army to the russians and on turn 2 i send one german corps ...

Hello,
If it might peak your curiosity. I just ran the march on paris scenario in single player, normal AI as germany. I wanted to try the scenario without prior experience and without hotseating. Midway through i found that i hadnt lost a unit.

If you like, try to run the scenario yourself ...

Thank you, i knew the zones but so far had just not found the window in which values were listed what the different zones actually entail.
