Andreus -> First complete Game (12/6/2007 11:38:25 PM)

After playing only a couple of years in previous games I have eventually played a full game that lasted untill october 1917. It was my victory as the CP player. My feeling is that the game is relatively simple to win as the CP (of course only against the AI!). I tried "Russia&Serbia first" strategy, Russia always surrenders in 1916 or early 1917. Only once I tried to attack France and that was really frustrating, I captured Paris and other cities but they didn't surrender (if I was the Kaiser I would have asked for peace!).
The game I played to the end was probably my best and perhaps the most original plan: I defended passively in both the west and east, and put my best troops in the balkans. I conquered Serbia and declared war on Albania and Greece and occupied both. Romania entered the war but I was ready and knocked it down in two impulses. My only moves against Russia were the occupation of Lodz and Tblisi (by the Turks) and after Rumania surredered I moved on and took Odessa. The italian entry was diplomatically delayed enough to prepare some fortifications. At the end of 1916 the France/Italian/Russian fronts were fully defended by level 4 trenches manned by Germans and Austrians (the Entente hadn't even tried an offensive for many turns). I was preparing a German-Turk advance in Egypt when the game ended.
I haven't yet understand all of the naval part of the game. For instance what are DD, CA, etc best good at? And the naval interface suggests to put two transports in the baltic and four in the atlantic, does this improve supply for the CP?
