I think the point here is that Serbia, if not getting help by the Brits and French, can only commit a limited amount of damage and not advance very far. They sure might capture a few hexes, but given their overall numer of troops you don't have to fear this. Usually you would try to make up for the later access of the OE ressources by capturing more of Russia ASAP. To establish a line of communication with Bulgaria you only need to controll a few hexes in north-easten Serbia, and the CP should be able to get those, maybe even by using the Bulgarian forces only (given the fact that the Serbs are somewhere else capturing Bosnia). Of course with a French or British HQ the situation will differ. I did not ship any western troops to Serbia, never have, I might try this in another game. And even though I was on the offense completely unoppossed I felt like getting nowhere, in terms of space/territority as well strategically. Thats what got me thinking. quote:
ORIGINAL: Lascar In the case of second player, although you were able to advance deep in Galicia allowing the CP to make a strong advance from the north cutting off and destroying most of the Russian corps in Galicia. Only a vigorous offensive in the west stole the momentum from the CP advance deeper into Russia otherwise Russia would have been threatened with early collapse. I admit that. The Russian offense was not that well going. And to be honest, I tried the same against Hjaco and he even beat me a lot worse. And it happened exactly like you prospect: An early collapse of Russia.
