How are things going in the Caucasus?

Its a non-event. I am trying a desperate encircling manoeuvre beyond Sarikamesh to turn the Russian defenders but its a risky move and taking forever...

Turn 26 - 10th June 1915

In France a scratch force of Garrison Armies, joined by 14th Army and the 3rd Artillery Army take back Strassburg from the British. Further west, my dreams of capturing the ground between the Somme and the Seine have evaporated, and I withdraw to straighten my lines.

In Russia it all goes pea shaped. I launch an all-out offensive against Vilna with four Armies and an Artillery. But the city is not close to falling and the position of the weak German and Austrian Armies is critical.

In Turkey my plan to cut-off the Russians in Sarikamish fails as the 2nd Cavalry Army comes across a Garrison in the city.

Turn 27

Its all over. Orm is just too good an opponent [&o] Congratulations Ormster [:)].

I had just a few Garrison on the Italian Front and now they are in the war. I have lost Strassburg again and no chance of a counter-attack as I am out of ammo (one of the brilliant things about Orm is that he never seems to run out of ammo...brilliant play).

In Russia, my units were getting weaker and more strung out....
