Hello Commander Suprass!
Thanks for letting me read your AAR! There are some things I learned from it, but for the most part I could see what was going on, "Of course I could not read your mind". I had played CP in SP for several turns when Suprass approached me about joining him a MP match, immediately accepted his challenge. He's a tough and methodical player, much of is not displayed in the AAR, I believe we both were learning this new patch as we went along. We also have another match going, switching sides, currently he is kicking my ass there, again we are in a learning curve with this excellent new patch. To me, it's "Serbia First", a slight boost in Serbia's PP and minor changes to allocation of PP to cities would make a difference there. Perhaps allowing the African French infantry to transport from a closer port to Serbia might be an option (if that was the original intent? For it could go to France also.). Without a doubt! Entente navy has the far more dominate role in the Mediterranean. If Kirk has some ideas in mind to change that, I'd like to hear about it. By choosing AH subs, I have to make sacrifices else where, it's a Commander's decision on how to approach the game. I had "NO" idea the Gallipoli Event was going to happen, total surprise. It just so happened my subs were near enough to combat the landings, strictly a "stroke of luck". On to Russia: Russia is not exactly a "Cake Walk", but once the Russian Front breaks, it opens up a vast space, less constricted than fighting it out in Poland proper (with it's forts). How to keep the front contained by the Russians? Is an issue...... Should be up for discussion, for it could get out of hand in overbalancing. If anything is to be done with Entente techs, AH deserves a fair shake also, "To be fair". The cost of repair in this patch has made a world of difference, I can not argue against it. Even upkeep, seems to be sensible, which is hard to get used to! Although some of the large ticket items seem to be on the "cheap". The cost of both of these items, smothered the game to me (in prior versions), there again all players have to play by the "rules" set (if they change, be up front about it). Capturing Koenigsberg definitely was a major blow, The French Front reflected the cost. I wished Suprass covered the English Channel naval battles, a back and forth battle of wills of naval might. In a way favorable to him, for in the meantime his convoys went unmolested. Folks, it was unlike any AI you might encounter. I was going to do an AAR of my own, but left it up to Suprass, also wished he had done an AAR as him being CP (it's not too late). Like playing chess, you have your early game, your middle game and your end game (always look at least 5 moves ahead). Enough said here, onward to the "Sound of the Guns". Nice job Suprass..
Kaiser Commander, Bob
PS, "cheap", is meant towards repair and upkeep, not unit cost.
