Stats: Germany got Industrial Train Design and Anti Air Defense techs.

Sorry about turn 21 my CTGW file was getting overloaded with SSs before putting #ed SSs into folders to be edited later.

Eastern Front:

OK, I believe this turn CP was able to occupy enough hexes west of Brest-Litovsk to enable both CP artillery to bring their guns to bear on the fort after killing off A Russian SG and infantry. Keeping a close eye on Russian morale in general here with the purpose to keep their individual unit morale down when possible. By now AH units should all have industrial warfare and a few others repaired. Most if not all German units received the AA upgrade at the cost 1 PP each.. There is no telling when the Russians will begin massing airpower here besides the 1 fighter unit visible. Take note of where Italy and Bulgaria's diplomatic status is.

Baltic:

Large yellow circle indicates general movement to this area. IIRC an English sub fleet was demolished this turn with a combined Dreadnaught, Sub, zeppelin attack. All 3 local CP ports are occupied with repairing Kriegsmarine and updating when applicable. Decided against the Trondheim expedition and instead sailing every available vessel to aid in the next convoy's defense. The Trondheim sub raider is heading for home port for refit and upgrade after a successful mission.

Should add: The Helsinki ground mission failed..! The city ended up being occupied and with my 2 German garrisons being isolated and out of supply were quickly killed off by the Russians and the Russians also took back Turku. However the good point about this is: It took 3 Russian units to crush my 2 and now those 3 are stuck in Finland..!! Instead of being at the Eastern Front, where I'm sure the Russian Commander would rather have them be..

UPDATE: "Where I thought I sank an English sub fleet very well could have been a Russian dreadnaught.!" After viewing earlier SSs (where the dreadnaught was) and later SSs (the dreadnaught was no longer on the map). If so: That's -20 NM to the Russians, that's extremely good news..!!!

Belgium:

Not wasting anytime at this front applying the AA tech to all units possible, that might have included the German artillery and garrison near Trento, if not this turn it will be done next turn. Deployed a fresh German fighter next to Metz and repaired the others. Once I start to post casualty and kill stats there will be a dramatic rise in the number of Entente aircraft lost.

Eastern Mediterranean:

Next turn is what I am really focused on (The Gallipoli Landings/Campaign), The AH subs are lined up to intercept the spawning of Entente fleets, although I did screw up 1 sub placement in the black circle, you will see why next turn. Repaired the German raider and the sub at Izmir, as well as disembarking the AH garrison at Constantinople. You will notice the German transport by Messina, unintentionally it ended up playing a major part in the Italian campaign.

Erzurum:

Presently OE is getting something like 6 or 7 PP per turn, it's barely enough to cover three quarters of the damage done to OE units, some you see do not get repaired for lack of funds, which also impedes OE's ability to attack from strength, although a 9 strength OE garrison at Aleppo was able to put the hurt to a unsupplied isolated English garrison while taking losses itself. Drove the red AC closer to Samsun for a possible Hail Mary amphib operation. That 4 strength garrison out in front of Erzurum was a 1 before repair, I'm asking it to hold out 1 more turn, for once it's gone the Russians will be able to out flank the remaining units.

Gaza:

Like Erzurum OE is just barely hanging on here. Did get a good shot off on the English infantry in Aqaba with my artillery. I'm afraid I will have to withdraw from here soon, or be forced into a retreat. The garrison at Beirut is taking a beating while the OE cav and commander try to fortify. Only units that are the most critical are getting repaired..

Baltic:

When a 4th English sub fleet appeared not at full strength this turn made me think: What was sunk last turn? As I posted earlier I felt as though it was the Russian dreadnaught.. OK, atm I am not sure if the pink circle is a merchant fleet or a garrison in transport (I'll determine that later). Regardless of what it is, it needs protection. 3 enemy subs ganged up on my German dreadnaught seeking revenge only doing slight damage to the fleet. Withdrew the dreadnaught to a safer position, but unable to make port. The other German dreadnaught is still under repair at Stettin and other fleets are either repairing or upgrading or both.

Eastern Front:

Believe it or not, CP progress is being made. Unless there is a "breakthrough" WW I fronts advance at a slow pace. Sometimes a player get's in a gear that seems unstoppable, it has to be initiative backed by a plan. Looking at the map CP units certainly out-number Russia's, CP needs the reserves to successfully follow up on breakthroughs, Russia for the most part has practically no reserves (visible). To keep them off-balance CP has to do harrying attacks, that may, or may not throw the Russians off my real intention (Brest-Litovsk). Attacked the Russian salient southeast of Brest-Litovsk with a certain amount of success turning the Russians morale red there. CP artillery needed rest and upgrades to be at it's fullest potential for the next big push. I'd love to be able to reach the grasslands on the approaches to Kovno and Vilna. The Pripet Marshes to the east of Brest-Litovsk are a real deterrent to movement.

Eastern Mediterranean:

Sprung the ambush on the English Gallipoi Landings, but was not successful in large part because of the placement of a AH sub where the English Infantry should have been in transport, so the AI automatically disembarked the infantry on shore, this was unexpected on my part, at the very least expected the English infantry to not spawn, lesson learned none the less. As to the rest of the ambush it worked out fairly good. It took 5 attacks on the English AC to sink them finally with the OE light cruiser. The English pre-dreadnaught is cornered and cannot escape, although it does supply the infantry that landed, another English infantry should be able to land next turn (it really has no choice if it wishes to survive), the 3rd transport took losses from sub attacks and cannot escape. AH balloon bombed the landed infantry just to keep it's morale down. The English end up being a PITA here, you'll see in the next turns. Repaired at Constantinople and upgraded a class I to a class II sub at Cattaro. Keep an eye on this region, it get's interesting..

Erzurum:

Can see additional Russian units being added to this front, which is going to make it impossible to hold this city, so repaired what I could to prepare for what will be a difficult withdrawal. The red AC made it to Samsun and recouped some strength before going on a voyage. Down by Aleppo an OE garrison finished off an out of supply English garrison, that's all the good news OE will have here for some time.

Gaza:

OE still has a little fight left. An OE infantry and garrison struck a English cav forcing it to retreat. At Beirut switched out units attacking the unsuspecting English infantry knocking it down a couple of strength points, while the tired garrison recoups.. OE is starting to reclaim lost PP from previous naval bombardments, maybe in a few turns OE will be able to build a new unit or 2.

Troop transport:

Originally had planned for this unit to capture Ajaccio, Corsica, then possibly try for the French capital city in North Africa. Now I'm looking to take a port city in southern France, before the French have a chance to react, so far I do not think mrdozer is aware this troop transport has slipped by his submarine screen, which might be on it's way to Izmir. With a little luck I'll be able to get a lick in on the French..!

Seems I did not take a Belgium SS for this turn..

Baltic:
The German merchant fleet made it to Keonigsberg port. Every time one of these fleets makes it to port is a reason to celebrate. For it is always a hard fought battle to get it there and game wise: Is the life blood of keeping Germany and the CP relevant. Don't forget that Entente get about 2 merchant fleets for every one that CP gets and without anywhere near the struggle to accomplish the mission.

Eastern Front:

Russian movement: Curious that the Russian fighters are seen on replay moving to Vilna, but are not seen on my actual turn. Russian infantry swapped positions up by Koenigsberg and see where Russian artillery is heading south.

German infantry and garrison switched front line positions by Danzig. Instead of going for a direct assault on Brest-Litovsk decided to try pushing back their salients to the north and south of the fort, so that movement will not be too confined when and if CP captures the fort, at the same time degrade local units and perhaps confuse the Russians as to my true intention. Without his Fighter LOS present he cannot see what I'm doing behind the lines.

Galicia:

Like in the above post assaulted the southern Russian salient making junk out of the Russian present and keeping it's reserve from recouping morale, at the same time repairing, resting and upgrading my reserve for the next push. Notice how the Russian line here has flattened making it harder for them to maneuver, that's how I'd like it to be going all the way up to Brest-Litovsk.

Belgium:

I'm trying to think of why so many units here needed repair? Some are a result of a result of my minor skirmishes last turn, I think I know! See all those French fighters take that times 2 with English fighters are ganging up on some of my front line units.. My fighters are still working to suppress French artillery and ground units followed up with minor ground attacks by Verdun and Nancy. Getting ready for the Italian campaign by deploying fresh AH units and moving the Innsbruck AH fighter to be in this fight, also a new German fighter. What I did not take a SS of is the German transport down by Toulouse, however you can see it there on the minimap. With a little cash reserve and a merchant fleet in port I'm feeling pretty good economically and am trying to not over extend spending down to "0" all the time..

Eastern Mediterranean:

Sank a troop transport by Izmir and maintained boxing in the English pre-dreadnaught. Repaired 2 class I AH sub fleets and sent another for upgrade to the Adriatic. Because of the possibility of French subs lurking around sent the OE cruiser towards Constantinople for later repairs. The garrison there was brought up to full strength. Reinforced the Adriatic fleet with Class II sub fleet and attacked with the nearby balloon on to English infantry doing no damage except for it's morale. Izmir was attacked, the SG held it's ground and repaired. If I can sink the English fleet that will cut of a supply source for the landed troops. Seems like I have this part of the scenario in the bag, Right?

Erzurum:

I'm simply out gunned here and began a general withdrawal, however cannot take the SG with me, so sent it back into the city as a sacrificial lamb to hold up the Russian horde. Had to give cover to a front line garrison that was recently badly damaged. The mountains to the north slows the enemy advance, so I try to use them to my advantage. Unseen units are heading towards Mosul and then no doubt to Bagdad. OE has no money/PP to build a protective force there, it's an open avenue for the Russians to go all the way to the Persian Gulf.. Did RR a weak garrison to Mosul to buy time. Also repaired the red AC at Samsun, but was bombed from an Russian balloon keeping morale down and city PP loss. Don't know where this balloon is striking from? Another headache just landed by Adana cutting the rail line. My OE is in a pathetic state of affairs right now..

Gaza:

Had to begin withdrawal from these positions also for fear of losing supply from Bagdad and also from the loss of the Aqaba SG that prevented being out flanked. I'll try and make a stand at Damascus and join up with the 2 units nearby there. As you can see: I'll have at least 4 English infantry plus air support on my tail the whole way making for an ugly withdrawal..

AH new units will likely deploy to the Italian Front.

Baltic:

With a slight lull in the action here decided to scout for possible opportunities near Tallinn and also to partially block Russian subs from spawning westward and from what it looks like from English subs from reaching port for repairs, also it is a good time to rehab much of the main German fleet including upgrades. Even though the German fleet has superior numbers, it takes a beating doing it's job trying to secure the Baltic. The English subs are sure a stinker to kill..!!

Italian Front:

CP struck first here.. The one negative in jumping the gun is the loss of Bulgaria's march to war. The positive is that CP can strike before Italian units can upgrade and receive ally support (French and English units by RR). Most players have units ready at the Italian border ready to deploy in Italy. In preparation to capture Venice did a triple air-strike softening up the defenders, then marched up the infantry to kill off all that remained and let a garrison from north of Trieste capture the city, that's the end of phase one. Phase two was the air strike and artillery barrage on the Italian garrison blocking the path to Milan followed up with infantry attacks pushing the Italians back and eliminating them. Immediately there after Placed fresh units at Trento and Trieste from the production queue. What I felt was a pure stroke of luck was the German garrison landing and capturing Toulon...!!! It just happen to work out that way deviating from my original plan (hopeful capture of Corsica). Upgraded the garrison immediately and pray it holds out for as long as possible at half supply. I do not know if there are any Entente units at Nice, however I do know the 2 French garrisons present did come from somewhere and only 1 of them could use rail. Blocking this rail-line prevents intra-front exchange of Entente units, especially what I am concerned with is English infantry ect. getting to Italy slowing CP progress down. German boots on the ground is the garrison that moved from Trento to northern Italy. Because of this over-all offensive the Italians cannot produce any reinforcements for at least 2 turns and at best garrisons and as of now have not qualified for any general to spawn. If I had waited for the Italians to DOW, likely this front would already be at a stalemate.

Eastern Front:

The push on the salient north of Brest-Litovsk did not achieve much, so now lining units up for a direct assault on the fort itself. The southern Brest-Litovsk salient has turned into a meat grinder for the Russians, almost took that position from a heavily damaged garrison that just barely survived. The Russians tried numerous minor attacks up and down this front, for the most part getting attrition on both sides. CP air is doing it's best suppressing the Russians. In 2 turns CP will be knocking on the walls of the Brest-Litovsk fort.

Eastern Mediterranean:

Sank the English pre-dreadnaught by Izmir leaving the English infantry isolated and out of supply. Started repairs on the OE light cruiser and Izmir SG. Sending an AH sub fleet south to investigate what ship or ships are supporting the English cav threatening Adana. The AH sub fleet in route to Cattaro spied an English convoy and called in other fleets for a wolf-pack attack on the convoy by Crete. An AH pre-dreadnaught bombarded Taranto. In the next SS you will see why an AH sub fleet could not make it though the Constantinople strait. By all accounts CP looks to be doing rather well here..

Black Sea:

Here is where I think the Russians have a soft spot to exploit with troop transports that have embarked at Constantinople and Samsun. Figured on sending AH sub fleets to assist but ran into trouble right away when trying to get next to a transport, turns out there is a undetected Russian sub fleet there up unto now, which prevented my fleet from getting through the strait. The projected targets for these transports is Sevastopol and Kerch.
