Atlantic:

Due to game experience I know the first English convoy arrives in Dublin turn 9-12. So my plan is: To go out into the Atlantic to intercept the convoy. Because These subs are now in red dot sea hexes they lose about 10% morale each turn, which affects their attacking effectiveness.

North Baltic:

The second German supply convoy just spawned here(lavender circle), the first convoy spawned down in the South Atlantic last turn. My fleets have been waiting for action, then low and behold one of them is attacked by a Russian class I sub. There's not much I can do for it's nearly impossible to sink a sub out-right, nor even cause it damage without causing more damage to the attacker (usually -1 sub strength to -3 attacking ship strength) than it's worth.

Serbia:

What I see before hostilities begin is a Serb garrison repairing and 1 strength garrison move while repairing to a 3 strength by Nis's west. The AH fleet is still doing it's job blocking the Adriatic. Also see what could possibly be a second French transport getting ready to disembark it's load. I do not think that mrdozer detected the presence of the German artillery and the position of the AH artillery.

Serbia:

AH has a new arrival: Ah has it's first Balloon deploy east of Belgrade. Left flank first: AH general struck at that 3 strength garrison knocking it down to a 1 strength, which the AH garrison finished it off and revealing that no new Serb garrison has been deployed next to Nis. Now right flank with all it's power is set to attack: German artillery and both fighters plus one infantry put a huge hit on the recovering Serb garrison down to 1 strength which retreats into Cetinje, perfect for my garrison to assault, kill the Serb garrison and capture Cetinje, also cut supply to Catarro, this is huge.!! Next turned my attention to the other exposed Serb fortified garrison with AH artillery and infantry assaults knocking it's strength in half. Brought another infantry around to put a big dent in the Serb artillery, these Serbs are close to being encircled. Finally assaulted Cattaro both received loses. This has been one of the best offensives I have ever had in Serbia to date.

Serbia:

This Cetinje event not only deprives Serbia of a few PP, it causes a -5 NM to Serbia. As a rule this event is usually one of the toughest to achieve. Personally, I was thrilled to get this one done and out of the way.

Warsaw-Galicia:

This before SS shows where the Russians attacked and some of their movement, FOW hides the rest. Noticed the Russian fighter has lost 1 strength, likely from attacking my cav in Warsaw. The Russians are making an attempt to recaptured Warsaw, also notice they now have a general in Novo-Georgievsk. Later SSs I will be putting markers to identify commander locations. In this grassland terrain cav's are very effective, besides having a LOS of 3 hexes. The Russians attacked with their infantry and armored train putting a decent hurt on my German garrison near Lemberg. I have no doubt that Russian reinforcements are being deployed nearby. The Russians have limited ammo stocks for artillery, ect.. Up by Koenigsdberg Russians are trying to break through to this city using artillery and cav assaults, fortunately my garrisons have fortified and are able to hold the line. Can see 1 Russian garrison maneuvering to join the Warsaw fight. This is going to become brutal.

Starting with Lemberg: Because it takes awhile before fresh Russian infantry can deploy here decided to weaken and hopefully eliminate the one here, was not entirely successful doing so, even after attacking it 3 times with a general's support. Repaired Germans here and AH SG and kept the right flank AH garrison in place. Warsaw: Swapped places in city with infantry occupying, maneuvered cav and garrison to cut off supply to Novo-Georgievsk. Repaired 3 garrisons and attacked with 1 by Koenigsberg. More importantly deployed fresh units at Danzig, Posen and Lemberg.

Belgium:

This before SS shows the French closing the door on the path to Paris, much to my chagrin shaking my head. I'm more angry with myself than my opponent, he is only doing his job: "Saving France". Joffre is at it again by Nancy kicking the living crap out of my garrisons..! The Pain..! The pain is unbelievable..!! To tell the truth, I am a little directionless atm, thinking of going after Calais now? or, go after Antwerp wholeheartedly? My infantry on the coast is taking a beating every turn from the English, What to do?

Belgium:

Somewhat conflicted went after Antwerp. In hindsight: I should have taken out the Belgian garrison instead: Reason why? "For every turn there are no Belgian units on Belgian soil that nation loses NM, plus if that nation takes casualties it further loses NM, but that all takes time to have a detrimental effect, however if I capture Antwerp after a couple of turns, the Belgium military goes away. Attack Antwerp..!!! Gave most of my army rest and repair, while sliding a fresh garrison in front of Nancy. My zep takes a loss of 2 attacking the French cav, as well as others who take loses assaulting Antwerp. Should bring my repaired fighter within striking distance here next turn, unless I get distracted. France did not lose one city or lose any PP: What a mess I am in right now.! It's trench warfare..

After any sub scores 2 strength naval loses this event triggers opening a new tech research icon (depth charges) in the naval tech tree.

I'm not even sure that any fleets could have made it through the Dardanelles before this event triggers. Curious though: Turkey is part of the Ottoman Empire, where OE is the recognized nation in this game, should it be the "Ottoman Empire Closes Dardanelles"?

Serbia:

Left flank by Nis needs time to recover morale and repair, RR AH artillery for next turn's assault on Nis. Right flank captured Cattaro after German artillery pounded it after fighters did their job, finally a combination of ground units killed off the defender and occupied by the AH SG opening the port for business. This has been the moment the AH fleets have been waiting for and none too soon. The Center group advanced to attack Serb artillery IIRC completely destroyed it, 2 units here went into repair. The lone Serb garrison has but one option to survive and that is to withdraw on to the southerly mountain hex, not a great choice at that. Could not sail my fleets fast enough to make port for repairs, while the lone AH class I sub attacks the French dreadnaught causing a strength loss and preventing surface fleets from passing through this Strait. The AH balloon jumped into the action by bombing a French sub from a 10 into a 8. Can see an English transport hugging the coast likely with Malta's garrison. It does not take a brain surgeon to figure out that Serbia is in trouble. I am very happy with current events here. Another symbol added here is the blue 5 point star indicating naval, air-force and army commanders.

Belgium:

After the initial assaults on Antwerp many units needed rest and repair for the next push, with the exception of a harrying by air and 1 infantry to Antwerp, not allowing the French cav any rest and a kiss to a French front line garrison. Can see that Joffre is getting ready by Nancy to push on my salient there, so chose to lower Joffre's infantry morale with my fighter. In hindsight I should have moved my fighter to target Antwerp. Lastly repaired reserves behind Metz. Digging in and fortifying is my main goal here to keep casualties down while trying to find a solution to advancing this front, which is not going to be easy.

Warsaw-Galicia:

Lemberg: Somehow the Russians managed to kill off the German 8 strength garrison here. What the SS does not show is where AH garrison counter attacked a Russian garrison killing that off also. My cav LOS spots a Russian buildup possibly heading Lemberg's way. My forces here are mostly for defense while AH spends more of it's war effort on Serbia and other management assets.

Warsaw: The Novo-Gorgievsk Russian infantry and adjacent garrison are at half-supply, first stuck the fort with Hamburg zeppelin, then with a series of attacks was able to capture the fort and kill off the garrison. This small victory was something to celebrate. It frees-up German units that can go over to help AH and close the frontier gap in between. The Russians are still pushing around Keonigsburg, although they are inflicting casualties, nothing is budging for them as long as I am able to keep reserves there and units repaired.. When the front is sealed that's when I'll disband some of the remaining SGs. The problem here is that I am going to end up in trench warfare here in all likelihood. Deployed reinforcements at Posen and Lemberg..

This event gives Russia a -5 NM, still a long way to go to defeat Russia, if at all. Should add: This SS reveals much of this front before movement..

Atlantic: German sub morale is somewhere around 60-70% as indicated by the color yellow numbers. Hoping something shows up soon before losing all morale.

Baltic:

Sent my sub to Tallinn to inspect the city for reconnaissance only to find an exposed pre-dreadnaught, decided then to go on the attack with the most powerful of my Krieg marine to hopefully sink it supported by Admiral Speer, was partially successful and felt this would prevent other Russian subs from spawning here, am somewhat concerned about a counter attack. Sent the rest of the kriegsmarine up north in expectation of another supply convoy, only to trip over the Russian submarine, which was attacked, but no losses either way.

Serbia:

Left flank captures Nis with the help of AH artillery and fighter assist. I cannot recall if all 3 ground units there participated in the attack, for sure I wanted to position units to move on Skopje, including RR German artillery to this flank. Balloon bombed Skopje exposing a garrison there. Right flank captured Tirana and possibly killed off that straggling Serb garrison from last turn and possibly it was this turn the Serb artillery was killed off just north-west of Skopje. I do know how the German fighter could have participated in a strike where it had just moved? I could have been wrong in this detail, unless it was an upgrade. I know there are at least 2 French units nearby and an English one too. The AH sub is still blocking the Adriatic Strait while the surface fleets repair, sent the dreadnaught for repair allowing the pre-dreadnaught to refit at Split, same with the armored cruiser in port Cattaro. Have a new arrival sub deployed near Cattaro. This whole front looks great and is ahead of schedule.

Warsaw-Galicia:

Lemberg experienced a surprise attack from the east disrupting the defense I have been preparing here. I believe the German garrison had RR from Posen to fill the exposed flank here while repairing other units, less one small counter attack.
Warsaw had assaulted a Russian cav and destroyed it, allowing a German garrison to put a hurt on the Russian fighter. Still trying to close this front with AH. Koenigsberg is still taking casualties and rotating off the front line here. In Keonigsberg port is a garrison in transport, destination "Finland". A dreadnaught is in repair at Danzig and 3 front line units north of Warsaw are in repair and fortifying. Reinforcements arrived at Posen and Koenigsberg.. There appears to be an opportunity to open this front up, let's see how it goes. Have 2 German generals on this front now..

Belgium:

Not everything is going as planned here. Yes, harassed Antwerp, but not a full scale attack, only cav. My coastal infantry has been taking a beating and needed to be relieved to rest and repair, with only one way out it swapped places with adjacent infantry. Antwerp will be another turn or two later, hopefully before winter. Joffre is getting the best of my garrisons by Nancy, yet I still hold the salient position, mainly from rotating reserves to the front. I try to weaken Joffre's unit, not to any great effect. I have to come up with a better plan for this entire front, as you can see, the repairs are constant with the grinding of both sides. Hamburg's zeppelin is also on the mend after the Warsaw raids. Almost wiped out the English infantry near Antwerp, had I not repaired my weak yellow infantry, I would of had him killed. Did some punitive assaults on French garrisons for little gain. Time and material is on the Entente side, it only get's worse for CP..

There are 7 factions that utilize this tech (not sure about Spain atm). OE can build class I fighters, but does not get the benefit of Air techs.

This event speaks for itself, except it should read: Ottoman Empire goes to war..!! Turkey is part of the OE, not a faction unto itself for game purposes.

Atlantic: Made contact with English supply convoy, immediately went on the attack. Because subs had such low morale their attack was not all that effective.

IIRC Russian sub went on the attack only to get counter-attacked from 3 different directions, sub taking loses. My fleets are preparing for the next showdown should a supply fleet spawn here next turn.

Warsaw-Galicia:

Tried to eliminate the Russian salient north of Warsaw in an attempt to outflank the Russian line here, at least was successful eliminating a Russian garrison, possibly allowing a breakthrough, however the constant fighting takes it's toll on morale here. So have to rest and repair many units, as well as the Kriegsmarine in port at Danzig and Koenigsberg.

Lemberg is getting a lot of Russian pressure and is the weakest link in the Eastern Front, none the less is holding it's own. Much needed reinforcements have arrived at Lemberg I AH cav and 1 garrison and a zeppelin deployed at Danzig. In 2-3 turns winter will have arrived and will likely bring the CP offensive to a halt without CP artillery and fighters. The Russian salient to the east of Lemberg puts this whole flank in jeopardy.

Belgium:

Nancy is turning into a slaughter-house for both sides. My Metz units are trying to relieve this pressure by direct assaults on Joffre lowering his strength and morale from attacking others by Nancy. Success is near at capturing Antwerp, maybe next turn it will fall, will have to wait and see. Along this front do punitive attacks to keep the French off balance, although it does come at a cost in MP, sure wish there more commanders in this game.
