sbaxter1 -> RE: Relocation of Units upon Italian Surrender (1/4/2011 3:13:20 PM)
|
On mobilization, I decided to go after Russia and not declare war on Luxembourg or Belgium. Most of the troops allocated for attacking the latter were placed east for a massive offensive in eastern Poland, the Ukraine and the Baltic states. Some reserves were left in western Germany to fill in as French attacks reduced my strength in the trenches and the fort of Metz.
I pulled too many east given what happened in France. The attack on the Baltic states yields little except for taking out Russian industry in Riga and the Germans were dogged all the way by Russians who seemed to have run out of offensives but still threatened to cut my supply lines. The Ukraine went better with Kiev (and more industry) falling before the end of October. Russians cut off in Poland never made it out. [:D]
The Russian Revolution started over two years early and Kerensky was toppled a turn or two later. I anticipated using my rail capacity up for as long as it took to move sizeable numbers of reasonably fresh, full strength, high quality units to dump into the French meat grinder, but eleven of the fourteen German infantry corps, including three Grenadier corps, vanished into thin air.
Between the loss of those troops and the British sinking my U-boats faster than I could build them, I stopped playing even though the software said I had a major CP victory going.
What in the world happened to my units?
