Status: offline 		I've been meaning to start an AAR against the AI, so here it is.

After Myrddraal gave some advice about how to tackle Serbia, I started a new campaign.
I'm going all out with von Schlieffen's plan, although I've sacked von Moltke and taken personal command in the West, while the East falls under the temporary command of my wifes teddy bear, Field Marschall Erich von Kuddles.

I'm playing the campaign on balanced

Lets see how the game performs under some pressure:

The Serbian Enemy will now feel the wrath of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and starts a chain of events that will drag Europe into unimaginable horror.


Turn1:-

The Garrison in Budapest is promptly given third class railway tickets to Lemberg, whilst a Sebian Garrison is destroyed in the hex marked with an arrow. Standard opening move for AH methinks!!




The garrison at Temeschburg is ordered south west next to Belgrade.

I've ordered 3 Garrison Korps, and they will be available for deployment next turn.

The fleet closes off the Adriatic, while one AH Army swings round to the north of Belgrade. One newly built Garrison is deployed SW of Temeschburg. No attacks, and PP's are spent bringing up the damaged units to full strength.

With the Russian Empire expected to support its Serbian ally, I need those troops digging entrenchments asp.

The circled unit is an important placement in my opinion, to anchor the eastern flank in Galacia.
If nothing is done here early on, the Russians could exploit this dangerous gap.

The German Army mobilises, and the Leige forts are blasted to rubble.

I do not advance.




Garrisons are placed in Posen and Breslau, to stop any funny business.

Calais is cut off and reduced to ruins but the French hang on...curse them!!
But it cannot be reinforced. Good.

The unit North of Verdun gets hit, but nothing that can't be handled.
There are now no strategic reserves left. All are committed to the Schlieffen plan. I need to get a unit into Strasbourg pronto.

The German Army continues its sweep into France.

A regular Army unit takes up residence in Lemburg, making it safer.
The Russians continue their operation to take Lemburg, and severely maul another load of reserves, forcing them to retreat again. Ouch!

In the north, Prussia prepares for the onslaught.

The Russian Fleet meets with disaster in the Baltic, trying to sink my Swedish convoys.
The Russian Baltic Fleet is completely wiped out!!!

Stabilisation is the name of the game, although another Russian garrison is wiped out.
Got to keep them under pressure.

It nearly goes under, but just manages to hold the line under enormous German pressure.

Curse them!!

I've arrowed the Russian losses in the Baltic. That should help make the Russian people unhappy.
