well, classic serbia.. the AH inf units play slap the poor serb garrison unit.. three attacks, one dead unit. GOD willing he will get poorer rolls in Belgium

Turn two.. he advances, I run away.. screen shots soonest..
Just my opinion but after the seemless ipad turns where I get notified and go right into the game... logging in is so 2012! lol
So I have limited choices as I only have Serbia unlocked... researching one focused item and building infantry...
I hope to get a stabilized line South of Belgrad which is held by a mighty infantry corp.
The goal is to make him come south and divert troops from Poland/Eastern Russia

Well, Its scary not knowing where ANY of his forces are in the Prussia area at game start..
I accidentally deleted a research lab, and then rebuilt it.
Thats my one oops, no more allowed! lol
I am happy at the pace.. hopefully I can bring the Brits in and the red army enough to save France...
otherwise it will be a quick war.
I did establish the blocking line in South Serbia... and managed to allow BVW to block the narrow passage into the Adriatic.. our first sea battle as we lob a few shells across. I frantically build and deploy reservist not fit to tie their own shoes.. and soon win he stops gobling up terrian Ill invest in armaments..
There is nothing worse, even a bad die roll, to having art and bombers and no armaments because you did not build enough !!!!

Poland/Prussia saw a few exchanges...
Serbia is a solid wall
France is fluid, lost the armored car unit

This was initially a tough fought war:
Serbia is terrible terrain for the initial attack and I've learned this valuable lesson vs the AI. If you can win though you free up a host of many units. That was a goal, but I focused on France.
Then I won so many good dice in France and I gained such good ground I turned around to face off against the Russian Hordes who in their haste forgot about some of their supply lines. Before The Russians could properly mobilize I had them pitched. Game ended rather bloody for the Entente but I enjoyed this game thoroughly. Couple of moves could have had me...but luck and greater advantage to the CP lead me to a surefire victory.
Certainly the Entente must be patient to win this game and a little bit lucky since so much land is contested over a few dice...
