Turn 11: European Theaters 12 Nov. 1914

Western Front: Antwerp Falls! I did a probing attack against a garrison unit by Verdun. In addition I brought up most of the units up to strength.

Eastern Front: Dam dirty Russians launched attacks against AH positions forcing me to fall back to better ground and re-consolidated the best I could. Warsaw is the anchor that has to hold to keep the line intact....hopefully.

Balkan Front: Serbs must be conspiring with the Russians, they launch an assault with 3 new full strength infantry units! I cursed myself for saying 4 turns I'll get to Nis!!!

Turkey will declare war next turn, not that it will help Europe much right now.

I should have some research projects coming to fruit soon, Germany will have Barbwire next turn I think.

Ouch - the Serbs have taken a right pasting! Good work Mr C [:)]

They got their payback this turn [:(]

Turn 12: 26th Nov. 1914

Western Front: Mostly quite, repositioned some units to attack Calais soon.

Eastern Front: AH units go on counter offensive and regain some territory.

Balkan Front: Serbs go deep and take Temeschberg, newly arriving troops will converge on Serbia to finish them off. AH Navy is engaged in their blockade and take some damage from 2 Cruiser forces, but striking back sinks a whole British transport fleet, probably containing a unit! [:D]

Middle East Front: Turkey finally shows up to the party, I spent 20 pp's to buy a lab to research infantry tree. This is a must do for Turkey or they will be left behind in no time! I start off with Industrial Warfare to bring up their defense ASAP! I'm also moving inf. units from the capital and the Caucasus Front to counter what I think will be a heavy Brit invasion.

Turn 13: 10th Dec. 1914

Western Front: Finished updating all frontline units. Shelled a still undug in British unit. Other than that...all quite so far.

Eastern Front: Minor repositioning of units. Bad news is that their is a British sub force learking around the Baltic [:-] Manged to upgrade some German units in this theater

Balkan Front: Just some minor movements for next turns assaults

Middle East Front: Shot up a British Garrison force that was up front, still repositioning troops.

A lot of research opened up this turn. With the sub attack I can now research Depth Charges, which I'm doing for Germany. Along with that I'm researching Pillbox and Armed Aircraft for Germany. AH is researching Bombers, Pillboxes and the Howitzer still.

Turn 14: 24th Dec. 1914

Western Front: Assault against Calais goes well, should fall next turn

Eastern Front: Minor movements on both sides to better positions

Balkans Front: Maneuvering forces for better assaults against what appears weakening Serbian forces. Withdrew AH Surface Fleet to refit.

Middle East Front: Probes on both sides, Turkish seem to get the better of the Brits this turn.

I'm again trying to build up German PP's to purchase one more lab. This is so I can research Vehicles.

Turn 15: European Theater 7th Jan. 1915

Western Front: Calais Falls this turn, I will be repositioning my Garrison unit back to Antwerp

Eastern Front: Final AH units positioning themselves. No more reinforcements planned for either side here.

Balkans Front: Drive on Nis is helped by the fact the Serbs pull back their infantry units and leave a Garrison unit holding the city. I suspect that the unit will be switched out with a fresh one.

Turn 15: Middle East Front 7th Jan. 1915

Stalemate this turn, I believe the Brits will launch a offensive next turn. I have a new infantry unit set to come in to play next turn. Also the Caucasus inf. unit is where I can rail him in too.

Turn 16: Middle East Front 21st Jan. 1915

European Theater is quite, attacks went in against Nis. Both AH and Serbian units are getting worn and tired in the cold. Next turn should be a break through in that region. The northern units have arrived to be some help.

As for the Middle East, the awaited British offensive happens, destroying a Turkish inf. unit in the process [:@]. Lucky I had those two new inf. units arrive to slow the Brits advance.

I managed to purchase a new lab for Germany to research Caterpillar Tracks so I can get tanks! I should have some minor developments coming out in the next 2 turns.

Turn 17: Middle East Front 4 Feb. 1915

Western Front: I launched an assault just west of Verdun, artillery and 3 infantry units attacked, wearing down the French infantry to 3pts.

Eastern Front: Russian launch some probing attacks but nothing comes to fruit for them.

Balkans Front: Nis falls! I believe there is 1 infantry unit just south of my LOS., surely the capital is guarded.

Middle East Front: All out assault against Brits salient, does some damage. This leaves, IMO, a dicey choice for the Brits, pull back some or risk losing that battered unit. I also purchased a infantry unit to help bolster the front.

As far as research goes, AH finally gets its howitzers online and for Germany, Anti-torpedo Bulge for ships is finished. I have left up research on the pic to show whats coming online shortly.

Turn 18: Balkan Front, 18th Feb. 1915

Western Front: Quite

Eastern Front: Minor probe attack by Russians. Convoy arrives intact...yeah [8D]

Balkan Front: Drive toward capital is going well, my AH units are fatigued and not in good fighting trim. [:(]

Middle East Front: Just gave all units replacements.

The PP situation for Germany is dire, I only get 16 PP's per turn and that is barely enough to get replacements for my units and I'm still trying to upgrade the Eastern Front units to their Mk III status. AH gets about 22 PP's. That's keeping the Balkan Front going...barely.

Turn 19: Balkan Front, 4 Mar. 1915

Western Front: Quite

Eastern Front: Quite

Balkan Front: AH continues to drive hard south, the western flank is crumbling for the Serbs. They only get 10 PP's a turn so they will have a hard time with replacements. I hope my units become unfatigued soon so I can capture the capital. The Italians are 8 turns away from entering the war! [X(]

Middle East Front: Turks launch poor assaults on Brits, leaving them vulnerable to counter attacks.

Research for several items are coming to an end soon, the Turks desperately need that Barbwire and Industrial Warfare to compete with the Brits. I'm trying to save PP for Germany and AH to get more artillery to take advantage of the Gas Warfare about to be finished. That convoy really helped Germany, I fear that the Brits will make more subs to strip this away from Germany.

Turn 20: European Front, 18th Mar. 1915

Western Front starts on fire, French destroy German Garrison force but mysteriously leave open a hex by Verdun! [:D] I then launched a counter attack west of Verdun and manage to some serious damage on the unit there.

Eastern Front: Dam dirty rotten Russians manage to push back a German infantry unit and advance. So I counter attacked that unit as best I could but did little to discourage future attacks in the area [:(] For some stupid reason I use up PP on the Baltic fleet to repair previous damage, wasting my opportunity to by artillery next turn [8|]

Balkan Front: Serbs are falling back and taking damage. I still await the units to become less fatigued and hope it happens soon.

Middle East Front: Turks receive latest Mk II infantry unit and I update 1 infantry unit to Mk. II status. I should be able to upgrade the remaining force to Mk. II next turn.

Mr C how do you know what is MkI and MkII etc?

Ahhh I wondered wtf that was all about [:)]

Turn 21: Mediterranean Front, 1st Apr. 1915

Western Front: Attack made just west of Verdun, left British unit with 3 pts. left. Only took 1 casualty!

Eastern Front: Attacked Russian salient, left unit with 2 pts. and can only be switch for a Garrison force so I believe I should be able to retake the hex.

Balkan Front: Destroyed weakened Serb inf. unit and attacked the capital. Its left with only 5 pt inf. unit so I believe I should take it next turn. Italians might be coming into war within 4 turns.

Middle East Front: Only refitted entire Turkish force to Mk. II specs. going on offensive next turn.

I'm going to purchase artillery next turn for both AH and Germany if I can.

Turn 22: Eastern Front, 15th Apr. 1915

Western Front: Quite

Eastern Front: Russians make daring attack by sacrificing a unit in order to surround Warsaw. I give the AI credit with making the decision it did. I also find that the Russians have finally bought a artillery unit. I have a convoy heading my way so I sortied the Baltic Fleet to cover it.

Balkan Front: Serbian capital, Skopje, falls. I make a strike at Tirana and loose big time with both units, not even scratching the infantry unit guarding the city. I'm sure I will loose a 1 pt inf. unit next round. Cetinje is a strength 4 garrison force so that should fall when I turn my attention to it.

Middle East Front: Turks hold on after Brits offensive. Turks go on the counter offensive and destroy 1 Brit infantry unit [X(]!

Germany finishes Advanced Shells and goes on to research Counter Battery Fire since I will have 2 artillery units. I purchased a artillery unit for AH to help against the Italians. I should have gas [:'(] by the time it comes on line.

Turn 23: Eastern Front, 29th Apr. 1915

Western Front: Quite

Eastern Front: All hell is breaking loose...by that I mean the Russian devils are going to pore thru my lines shortly. I had to for go the artillery for Germany and bought more infantry units for all nations. Situation is dire as I don't know how aggressive the AI will be. I had to bring in 1 garrison, 1 cav, and 1 arty unit from the West Front. 3 turns from now might not be in time to stem the flood to follow I'm afraid.

Balkan Front: AH prepositions units and also sends replacements to the front for final assault on Serb strong holds. I sent 1 garrison force to Trieste in preparation for Italian assault to come in 2-4 turns.

For research Germany completes Air Car for its dirigibles...I so long to have one!

Turn 23: Middle East Front, 29th Apr. 1915

British launch a successful attack against a garrison force holding the flanks. I had to purchase a infantry unit instead of repairing my forces. I moved my Cav unit via rail to the south to prevent the city there falling to enemy hands.

Turn 24: Eastern Front, 13 May 1915

Western Front: Allies make minor movements

Eastern Front: Russians hit me hard and blow open a huge hole in the front. I'm rushing what I can there and as you can see I should have some troops arriving in a months time.

Balkan Front: Tirana falls, leaving only a 4 pt garrison unit at Cetinje. I'm only going to leave 2 garrison units and 1 infantry unit to cover the area. That leaves me with 4 infantry units to move to the Italian Front.

Middle East Front: British tip there hand, they have bombers, they made a probing attack. The Turks chill for a turn repairing units.

I decided after my life bloods of a convoy arrived and left me with 45 PP's I would get a airship! I need to take the fight to the Allies PP's!

On a bad note for AH, they took a 10% production hit do to MP's being used up.
