CTD June 1915, rebooted auto-save-game a couple of times same result (My CP vs AI Balanced). Initially, thought Entente PP was great against AI, a luxury, but as a CP player, the AI creates absolute hordes of ground units, very challenging, would have liked to have played past CTD to see how it worked out. Sank about 20 transport points, then the "warning memo" popped up about American civilian losses, that bar seemed a bit LOW. Took all of Belgium, except for one little hex on the coast, which the French tenaciously defended. By this time, the French had units 2 rows deep across the front, beating the crap out of my left flank (Metz). Went after Serbia first, a real tough nut, however, was making some gains, closing in on Nis, could feel the Serbs weakening (June 1915) before CTD. In the meantime the Russians were doing a million man march and a combined AI army was about to blow holes on the Italian front against scant resources. (Bulgaria was a bright RED about this time, and a pro-West Portugal, Romainia were chomping at the bit to get into this dogfight). The naval game was actually very exciting, sinking troop transports left and right all over the map, sank a fair # of cruisers and subs, felt as though I was getting the upper hand there, especially when adding subs to the fleet. The Turks captured a Russian city, only to be met with a 10 unit Russian front in the mountains, Oh Boy! more fun to be had. The Brits were building their bulging million man army on the Sinai (to the point where they might fall off and start drowning, like so many lemmings), (according to my snooping Turk cav), per usual of the AI, against a meager blocking Turk force. Back when I first bought this game, my ass got kicked by the AI, over time mastered the game to a certain degree, playing Entente is not a problem, however, playing CP, is rather daunting. Will be watching all the posts to see what comes about.
