Turn 115 Stats:

Turn 115 Western Front: Nothing much has changed, minor attrition. I cannot attacked him without jeopardizing defense to more than likely no gain that would be meaningful, so I am sitting out these last 3 turns.

[operating]

116 Stats: NM has hardly budged, MP has dipped some, there is plenty to finish out the match. Have more PP than I need, be interesting how many extra PP there will be at the end.

[operating]

Turn 116 French Front: Still taking a beating, but nothing close to being KO'd (Knock Out), 2 more before the bell rings it's over. When exorcizing zeppelin raids try to pick the artillery with the most guns or the most efficiency.

[operating]

Turn 116 Austrian Front: AH airship spotting. Alternating use of air power, raiding with some, while refitting others.

[operating]

Turn 116 Austrian Front post attack: Keeping up air strikes on Entente artillery.

Turn 117 Stats Losses:

Turn 117 Western Front: What you don't see: Behind the English armor is American artillery, presently only visible during replay. Pounding American infantry with BB, will be moving a second class 4 BB in the place where the sub is now. At this stage of the game, most units have a level 12 entrenchment, making a defending units difficult to get strength losses unless the attacker uses multiples of artillery to attack the same hex.

[operating]

Turn 117 Austrian Naval attack: AH BB kills 4 strength points of English CA, Subs plus airstrike on Italian sub knock it down to a 6.

[operating]

Turn 118 French Front: German BBs bombard American infantry hoping to cause strength loss, but more importantly to prevent it from attacking. Whenever possible, did air raids on French and English guns. Bombing class 2 armor proved not to be all that effective, considering the air losses incurred. Antwerp proved vital to the overall victory, especially the naval campaign. As you can see: it was getting harder to keep infantry reserves from getting combat ready.

Turn 118 Austrian Front: Italian sub fleet sunk.

Turn 118 Stats: Losses What I don't know is: What would of happened if Bulgaria's MP went to zero? Would that be enough in this game to cause Bulgaria to surrender? As you can see; Bulgaria is still producing PP at a fair clip to build new units and repair others. The question might sound screwy, but then there are some screwy aspects about this game.

Turn 119 Marginal Victory: First MP match that went the distance without CTD. Actually it's the first game completed at all! A # of matches the opponent quit at different stages of a game, often without notice, which I felt was unsportsmanship. To them I say: try to have a little finesse. Vast majority of matches remain unfinished due to CTD. This victory was one to savor, for I did not dominate the game, in the end, CP was just barely hanging on, which almost seemed historical. Thank you for reading my AAR, Bob (operating)
