That’s always been my problem. It isn’t too hard to get your troops outside the capitol, bit you have to make sure you’ve brought enough to get the job done. If you only contest the territory the defender can reinforce during the battle and you can’t. So if you don’t take the capitol quickly you’re screwed. Sounds like an entertaining game.

I didn’t say they couldn’t win. I just said they haven’t won in my OOB games. I’ve only had 3 so not much to lean on.

The biggest mistake I have seen is Germany contesting too many territories in the west. You simply can’t produce enough infantry to sustain that. I have found hitting hard through Belgium is effective while leaving Lorraine and definitely Switzerland alone.

I don’t know about that- hitting Switzerland gives you a lot of flexibility to hit Italy or Southern France.
