RE: Il ne passeront pas !
Strategy phase January 1914
Losses:
CP 1.893.000
Entente 2.040.000
Hmm so far the Entente has lost a total of 638 SP where Russia has lost about 100 SP and France the rest [X(]
AH and OE has each lost no more than 50 so you do the math on the German army losses, which should be around a staggering 500 !
The Kaiser is apparently quite decided on killing each and every French soldier regardless on German losses. Even the new German B Corps are sent to the west in an "all or nothing" campaign. Very Kaiser like i must give my opponent that.
I have written off the French by now. There is no way i can keep them in if the Kaiser is attacking each and every stack each impulse bleeding both armies to death when the German army is bigger than the French. All that remains for France is to buy as much time as possible issue an "Il ne passeront pas" order at Paris and take as many Germans down as possible.
Russia building up to steamroll Germany from the East only replacing OP. It may be over the top but i have decided to stick to my strategy of attacking OE in the Caucasus. If Germany by some chance is opening a land route through either Serbia or Romania their production is going to get a blood transfusion for a turn or two but no more than that this way.
The Serbs have burned their OP getting as much ground as possible. I will try to get the British HQ from Basra to Serbia in order to continue their advance and perhaps try a quick invasion of Trieste.
The main British army is going to either open a new front in Wilhelmshaven/Rostock or join the Russian drive towards Berlin and beyond.
Germany is down some 500 SP have burned a lot of naval assets and is forced to counter the British fleets in the North Sea and/or Baltic, they buy DP to Italy each turn as well as expanding their air force. All this boils down to putting the squeeze on Germany on all assets and fronts will be my best response right now.

January 1915 impulse 1
Previous post is for strategy phase 1915 off course [8|]
Germany takes Lyon, Epernay and knocks Paris fortification down to 1 while still continuing hitting each French unit in reach.

March 1915 impulse 2
Last entrenchment in Paris is gone and a stalemate in Paris occurs. The clock is ticking and fast nearing 12 o'clock !
Russia crunches any resistance in the east.
Finally Royal Navy takes revenge. After having visited the PM answering to the total failure of Royal Navy's ability to ship the drafted million men army anywhere Churchill called Jellicoe into conference. A bold move needed to be made and the order was clear:
Invade and take Wilhelmshaven at any cost !
Quite to the surprise of the British planning staff not to say to the pleasure of the invading British 5 corps there seem only to be an German HQ apparently still planning an invasion on Britain.
March 1915 impulse 1
Germany takes Cherbourg. France and Germany attacks and counterattacks anywhere possible around Paris but in Paris itself bitter fighting continues where a stalemate is still in effect.
France has bought another valuable turn.
Meanwhile the bear has awakened reaching the outskirts of Berlin advancing on a broad front. The Kaiser promptly executes the final mobilization orders for several fresh corps in Berlin to arrive just in time.
British reinforcements pour into Wilhelmshaven led by Rawlinson.
Russia continues the offensive in the Caucasus having crushed 4 OE corps just needing to advance one more hex.
I guess Dobell and his chaps have had too much sun north of Basra. The Ottomans viciously counterattacked with artillery bombardment regaining control of their resource hex. Gee it only was against 2 British C corps but still - now we have seen it all [&o]
Just like seeing the Turks getting a cavalry pursuit in Empires in Arms [:D]

RE: Il ne passeront pas !
Strategy phase March 1914
Losses:
CP 2.580.000
Entente 2.427.000
For the first time CP losses is higher than the Ententes.
Victory points are at - 2 so that's about as even as it can get.
I am very anxious what happened to accumulated morale benefit from conquered French cities when they surrender. Amazingly enough France can almost refit all the remaining Corps but Paris will be very tough to hold in the long May turn where i expect they will hit 0 in morale. They then have July to raise their morale again.
Given the several early blunders i made this i consider a major achievement for me.
I am equally quite amazed that Wilhelmshaven was left undefended.
That was a major blunder from the German high command but probably a result of increasing pressure on their assets. There is simply not enough to get around everywhere. Notice that this almost certainly will force the HSF to sail next turn out into my awaiting ships to cut off further reinforcements. I hope for him he has any naval assets left....
I can't see how the Russian steamroller is to be stopped ?
Italy has been diplomatically delayed but when they enter the dam will break. AH is already down to strong and it will only get worse.

France has scraped the bottom of the barrel and is spending in diplomacy and R&D being unable to ship IP anywhere.
I am quite surprised you can take that many casualties without suffering an exhaustion level [X(]

RE: Il ne passeront pas !
I think you're winning to be honest.
The German army is never going to be the same again, and its early days yet. You've dished out more casualties than you've taken? I think thats an amazing performance for the Entente, and Russia is at the gates of Berlin.
Work diplomacy on Bulgaria so he doesn't get a burst of resources from the OE before you've trashed the OE.

Yeah and you have experience in having Russians at the gate of Berlin right [:D]
But basically Ulver could have achieved the same against France with a more appropriate distribution of forces. He came up with some rather unique and clever components in his strategy which has the potential to become a real gem in the future.

Indeed I do have experience with the purple peril at the gates of Berlin. [:D]. I also have experience of being bled in the West!
If I were you I'd consider some more resources aimed at the OE, as in the event of France's fall Russia will need resupply from Britain to finish Fritz off. IMHO.

Shipping IP through the Baltic works just as well [;)

RE: Il ne passeront pas !
Constantinople is needed for the Black Sea, not the Baltic I think (but maybe it Hjaco made a typo and thought about the Black Sea).
Concerning the OE, with Serbia currently invading Austria you don't have to fear a ressource transfert before a long time. I bet Germany will be done long before it sees a single OE ressource, with or without an Entente Invasion.
With Wilhelmshaven in British hand, what will happen to the German fleet ?

No Typo Raynauld - i did indeed mean the Baltic, but that won't work either anymore if the description in the patch is correct.
