More aggressive Poland towards Ukraine I'd really like to see. In this game I mostly concentrated in wiping out the Ukrainians, ie. securing my left flank, while keeping pressure on Tsaritsyn. In next game, if the Polish threat is real, I could first just partly secure Donbas, and go full scale against Tsaritsyn in 1919...

If the AI allows it, of course.





I will study Polish AI behaviour tomorrow. The Polish passivity in Ukraine is recurrent, so there's something wrong in my events. Sorry.

Let me know the fate of Voroshilov

Thanks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtU0m_oZXcw

Don’t forget:

- to install next the patch 1.111

- only the Grand Campaign is playable in Fatal Years for now, and only in English.

You’re not forced to create a “Revolution under Siege mod” folder. But this step will assure you to keep the original game safe.


Hope it helps

First I tried rather passively to keep his army unsupplied. I was pretty sure it was going to pull back successfully, but it moved east instead. Inexplicably there was no battle against Denisov's Corps vacating the region. On next turn I threw everything against it. Two battles ensued. The results can be seen below:

Meanwhile there's another "superstack", with a screen force, approaching virtually defenceless Kuban. It is my intention to throw everything against it as soon as possible. Like Napoleon in a smaller scale, I try to switch inner flanks in order to destroy superior forces one by one.

Well, the Reds are still 5.6 times stronger than SW, and my success at Kuban is not guaranteed. With latest requisitions I'm building the army up like crazy though.

I've got a bit weary about the early part of the GC. If the initial stages don't go well for the SW, like when the Red AI decides to concentrate on them first, there's almost no way to succeed further on...

A lot, unfortunatly. And I will not have the time for before some weeks at best.

The new German help option for SW could help too to sustain initial Red onslaught.

Then Siberian may be played from start. Another sort of experience, few options, a brittle army but clear geographical objectives allowing to get a better situation with less intern unstability.

And there are Reds. Those who tried didn't found Whites AI to be hopeless

Change of plans in my game. Timely destroyed railroad stopped the Red superstack moving towards Kuban, and I have enough Cossacks there now to slow it down. I try to capture Kharkov as soon as possible.

Status: offline 		For info the new ingame text presenting Siberian situation and victory perspective:

Your Army is very brittle, your faction bitterly engulfed into internal dissentions and you haven't much possible alliance perpespectives with minorities. But, as defeaats have many mothers and victory only one father, you may succeed if you control Cheboksary, Kuznets, Arzamas? Syzran, Penza, Samara, Kazan and Perm AND either Tzaritsyn or the Perm Archangelsk axis. If you fulfill these conditions, Allies will recon you as the only legitimate power in Russia. Thereafter, your reinforced authority will allow to end all infighting among your troops ( ie all events lowering their cohesion) and give you a boost in NM and EPs which should allow you to stamp out definitly the Red virus.

If I can keep NM near 140, I could recognize independencies before the summer campaign...

which is logical: your nM is high, but the AIl is now very low, the war must end as Russia is on the verge of exhaustion and Green revolts more and more frequent, so Whites must concede they can't win alone against Reds. in 1920, Wrangel did some efforts toward minorities: too late considering his hopeless territorial situation. You have a larger chunck of Russia and some recent victories.

I think now, in early December, is the time to recognize smaller nations - Judenits will be activated in the spring. Otherwise the Reds will come back with overwhelming forces after the winter...

Status: offline 		Other than the Semyonov option described yesterday, the next FY version will tackle a bit the balance with 2 new events and a new RED option.

Events: Both Siberians and Southern Whites will receive several times a year 50 money from Allied help when the Allied Intervention Level is at least 10.

Red option: Enforce military reform.

Red units will have in the next version their cohesion lowered. The new option, representing the primacy of Trotsky's ideas on Military Opposition emphacizing Red Guards militia, will raise randomly each turn cohesion of some Red units. Moreover, some leaders will be available only after the option is adopted ( these leaders being the infamous " Military Specialists" Trotsky imposed over relunctant Bolshevik ranks). This option has a cost, immediatly in NM and EPs, then randomly from time to time, representing recurrences of contestations of Trotsky's reform.Last, it will cost during a few turns money and conscript losses, money figuring the organization cost, conscripts the desertion of some Red Guards prefering to strong discipline and real combat opeartions the civil life...Last, in the same first turns after, the cohesion of some Red units will lower, yes, lower to represent immediate turmoil in the units because of the controversy.

Another new touch of historicity, and at start more brittle Red units, and an option to play without being a no brainer as the moment will be crucial. Let's say this option must be played sooner or later, but it could cause immediate headaches for only future good...

Yes, it should balance the game better at start, especially against AI of course

BTW, RED AI will be playing with these new rules

Fatal Years, the game where you never know what the situation will be 3 months later . In 1920 Green revolts are more frequent, after years of requisitions and conscriptions. And the Allied are always prone to help a victor, on the way to become the leader of Russia

Below is a significant step towards victory. Oh, how difficult the situation looked a year ago.

Meanwhile, all the big shots, Trotsky, Stalin and Tuhatsevski are preparing defenses on the Kursk-Voronezh axis...
