'Europe Under The Eagle': Empire101 (CP) vs AI

[Empire101]

[font="Times New Roman"]Turn 8:-[/font]

The AH's inflict some serious damage to the Serbs and continue stretching their line.

[Empire101]

Stabilisation of the Eastern Front is uppermost in von Kuddles mind.

[Empire101]

My prevaricating in the West about heavy casualties costs me a stalled advance, but preparations are under way to crush part of the BEF East of Rouen.

I'm too wimpy about casualties....[:(]

[Empire101]

[font="Times New Roman"]Turn 9:-[/font]

The Russian Fleet meets with disaster in the Baltic, trying to sink my Swedish convoys.
The Russian Baltic Fleet is completely wiped out!!![8D]

Stabilisation is the name of the game, although another Russian garrison is wiped out.
Got to keep them under pressure.

[Empire101]

The Serbian position disintegrates under pressure, and I nearly take Belgrade.[:)]

[Empire101]

The Brits withdraw and put a fresh French Army in its place.
It nearly goes under, but just manages to hold the line under enormous German pressure.

Curse them!!

I've arrowed the Russian losses in the Baltic. That should help make the Russian people unhappy.

[Empire101]

[font="Times New Roman"]Turn10:-[/font]

Russia tries to apply pressure but so far the line holds!!.[8D]

[Empire101]

With AH's Artillery arriving, Serbias position becomes increasingly hopeless.

[Empire101]

The French withdraw their battered army and the BEF Garrison is flung into the line.

Things must be desperate!!

So it looks like any flanking manoeuvre - either east of Belgrade a la Orm and Empire, or west around Cetinje a la Warspite, see the AH crush the Serbs within a few turns.

[vonRocko]

Keep artillary pressure up, and Paris is pretty easy to take. At least on balanced.

Its Serbia's Achilles heel imo. Frontal assaults are just playing Serbia's game. Serbia is strong in her initial dispositions, but her defence is vulnerable to a more 'mobile' approach!!

Welcome vonRocko.

True, but you can't just blast away as ammo supply is somewhat limited at the start, and to upgrade your ammunition supply is extremely expensive.

But of course!! I just have to mop up these partisans and.......oh sorry, wrong war......

[Empire101]

[font="Times New Roman"]Turn 11:-[/font]

An offensive is launched again NE of Rouen, and the hex falls

[Empire101]

In the East, The German Army biffs another Russian unit and tentatively advances.

Lemburg is still holding out.

[Empire101]

On the Serbian front, The Belgrade pocket is reduced.[:)]

[Orm]

Thank you for the AAR. [:)]

This is entertaining. Will Serbia surrender before Paris fall?

Thanks Orm, and welcome!!

I've been following your AAR with Warspite. You are making excellent progress.[:)]

The West settles down for the Winter.




The AH's advance south towards Nis and a new Serbian defensive line



The Russians apply more pressure around Lemburg, but the front holds![:D]
