Well...

For the moment we are on the defensive...

But our scientists are almost finishing a new weapon which will smite you and your allies...



Ray (alias "the desperate Kaiser" Lava)

Lava,
 
Out of curiosity, why the need to kill France early? Why not hold in France and deal on Russia? 
 
I'm always intrigued by the desire to go after the strongest (initially) TE nation as opposed to going after the TE achilles heel....
 
Hmm..maybe I'm becoming interested in another PBEM...
 
 

British forces advance into No Mans Land, Scots regiments playing bagpipes, other units kicking footballs as they go.  The month long barrage surely trashed the enemy after all, and the enemy have no trenches, so it was gonna be easy, right?

Wrong.

The BEF attack across a fairly broad front but make no breakthroughs anywhere.  A bit surprised, they pause and lick their wounds, and take comfort from the fact that the Germans suffered as much as they.

I... Kaiser Lava...

Welcome Czar Ferdinand into the war...



Ray (alias "The Kaiser" Lava)

Douglas Haig is convinced that the enemy is close to breaking, and orders that the assaults go on despite the lack of initial progress.

We welcome the General's advance...



Ray (alias "The Kaiser" Lava)

Grim...

The dead pile up...



Ray (alias "The Kaiser" Lava)

Looks like the Kaiser has abandoned the ground in front of the BEF.



British troops advance with no opposition.  Presumably the Kaiser has something special planned for them soon...

Beware the Trojan rabbit gambit!

Ray (alias "The Kaiser" Lava)

Mystifying.  Nobody about on the Western Front, all the Boche have legged it, aside from a pocket up by Luxembourg who look like they are planning on staying put.

British forces with some French support libertate Dijon, Lyons will be back in Entente hands soon.

But one wonders what the Kaiser is up to...

Well...

We got tired fighting the Brits...

Mess with the best, die like the rest!

Looking for easier prey eh.

Well...

Hemmed in by the Brits and French to the West, Italy to the South and Russia bearing down on me from the East, figured it was time to start another war!!!

[:D]

The Kaiser declares war on Romania.



Ray (aka "the Kaiser" Lava)

The Kaiser is clearly playing for pride now, he wants to see another Entente surrender - even if it is only poxy little Romania.  [:D]

Hpp..

German fighters bag their first TE aircraft.

Biggles goes down in flames.



Ray (alias "The Kaiser" Lava)

You killed Biggles!  You *****!

Germans, Bulgarians and Ottomans mass on the Romanian borders, which see heavy fighting.  Amazingly the Romanians do not immediately fold, but surely they will fold very soon.

Russian forces advance into eastern Romania meanwhile.

In other news, the Canadian Corps and ANZAC Corps have now been deployed, as I finally scrape up enough transports to move them around.

This gets my vote for the most original AAR of all time[8D][&o]

A poll anyone?

Actually...

This is what happens to pollsters in Imperial Germany...



Ray (alias "The Kaiser" Lava)

Brunn falls to the Entente again and an Austrian cavalry screen adjacent to it is swept away.  Vienna not too far away!

Romania meanwhile collapses rapidly, if it lasts the strategic turn I'll be impressed.

The French hit the Germans on the Western Front with the biggest barrage of the war this turn, hopefully that hurt the Boche good.    Biggles's apprentice was up overhead as well.

All hell's broken loose...

Battles rage in in almost every theatre.

The Romanians are locked in a death struggle in Bucharest while CP artillery pours on a rain of steel.



This the spring of 1916...
