Should Cow Make a Strategy Guide for 1914?

Historically Italy should not be considered at war until the start of I1, although A-H will probably decide to attack it anyway.

Well I’ll be continuing playing A&A for as long as possible.  Getting a job is going to make me have significant less time.

It gets pretty chaotic, Russian bear gets real, Ottos are in a stalemate, AH is backed up to his capital, I like to take Italy at the same time… USA can liberate Italy and that makes me a sad panda sometimes. AH is where things get wonky. It is primarily Germany that had to leave what is east of germany, east of germany and everything west of germany west of germany machine gunning their way  to france. It is kind of cray. The starting stuff east of Germany is generally enough to keep Russian bear enough spaces away from you long enough for you to deal with it later.

Yes.

Thanks Chacmool!

There’s a similar discussion going on over here:

@oztea:

I think its more important to kill the UK home fleet.

What, I didn’t make it clear enough how much it needed to be destroyed?

@Frontovik:

that are tactics…
where is your main focus: russia or france?
combining france with italy conquest might be good idea (so combined with austria)

France, as I rather screamed. You must- I cannot emphasize this enough- MUST destroy France quickly. The Pincer, and Germany as a whole, is built for speed. Allow the Allies to seize the initiative, and you may as well surrender already.

@Cyprian:

Why send any troops to Prussia?

And what about sending 2 subs to seazone 2?

I suppose you could send all troops to Silesia if you wanted, but remember that Poland must be secured to be able to place all focus on the Western Front. It doesn’t particularly matter where the troops go, just so long as the Russian can’t break through.
And I am not willing to sacrifice any naval power from the grand assault on the Royal Navy. They must be wiped out and fast to keep reinforcements from reaching France. Germany cannot outproduce both Britain and France.

@DrLarsen:

Oh, and keeping the same scale (or close to it) is important not just for WotC compatibility, but also so that it fits on a game-board and so that guys like HBG can keep doing what he does so well…

@Imperious:

Yes exactly.

Love that :-D  (self confessed Scale Addict)
