Oh his opponent? That would be me. Here's my recap of the events:
I went for an east first strategy and was able to finish off Serbia quite quickly. Also my advance into Russia went well. I got all of Poland and it wasn't until Riga that resistance stiffened. I got pretty much all I wanted, except for the south where most of the Russians were staying. Also I took a lot of ground just by cavalry and got deep into Russian territorities. But every now and then heavy fighting errupted in the east. But Russia should not be able to recover.
Meanwhile the Turks took Egypt and a brand new Austrian Fleet took India! I have been controlling the Eastern Med for some time now and there was a successful 2 turn period when German merchants got me some food from the Atlantic.
When Italy declared war they were smashed by the CP troops.
So far so good. There are a few things that aren't going well:
Italy should have surrendered already. I have multiple town occupied and crushed their army. I don't know why they are still going. I really don't.
Russia seems to be still stronger than I estimated. They re-took a barely guarded Minsk and tried to encirlce some troops. I also have some Russian troops encircled.
Now for my big mistake: I completely underestimated the power of the Allied offensive through Belgium and Holland. Upon the DOW I could not sent reeinforcements because the game doesn't allow me to rail into these areas. I tried a counteroffensive in the south, I took Verdun and some, but he just kept marching. I have a bunch of troops in Belgium, well actually enough to stop him, but he cut them off off supply so I cannot activate them and that means they will starve to death and that will be my end. (Why doen't Liege provide more supply?)
I've never seen any western offensive that strong. Well done. I thought I had everything under control, Italy, the East, the Med, even the Atlantic.... I was wrong.
