ORIGINAL: Bavre Turn 2: Bromberg is also only defended by a lone detachment, but this one is str 10 and judging by its stats commanded by Hindenburg. But Russian command gets greedy, operates Brussilov to western Poland to take command and issues double vodka rations to the troops. It's still a close call, but Bromberg is surrounded and falls. Further north the Germans retreat and give up Grodno and the eastern half of east Prussia on turn 3. The Cossacks break through and start raiding Brandenburg, during the next turns Glogau, Neustettin and Kolberg fall. The latter 2 mean that the rest of east Prussia is now cut off and down to secondary supply from Graudenz, so everything goes down to 5. On the Balkans the mountain defenses hold for now, but there's a LOT of enemies incoming. It's only a matter of time. Near the Canadian coast the german flotilla as expected does some damage, but is then dealt with. One sub manages to slip away with 1 or 2 supply left, the other sub and both DDs die. The real surprise is France, I definitely did not expect a delayed Schlieffen! On the upside France's mobilization is already in full swing and I have a lot more troops to stop the huns. So far it looks like the advantages and disadvantages of this strategy almost cancelled each other out and it plays out pretty much like a standard Schlieffen. The Germans get Belgium and Lille, but are stopped at the Somme. Overall we both play very aggressively and both side take massive losses on all fronts. Tech will therefore be somewhat slow in this one. @ Sigizmund: The easiest way for screenshots is the snipping tool (assuming you're on windows). Just open it, click new, drag the frame over the section you want to show and save it as jpg. Nice one! What do you send to deal with the Canadian raiding party, and when? The keyboard shortcut is even easier with widows snipping tool, dont even have to exit the application you're in. shift+winkey+s What do you use to upload the pictures on here Bavre? @Sigizmund Cool with a delayed Schlieffen! :D Will be interesting to see where it goes from here on out!
