ORIGINAL: Cfant
Not sure if the Brits had stayed out of the war, when a german victory was in sight... a german hegemony was not in British interests.

However, Germany asked, prayed and threatened Belgium to allow german troop movement until a few minutes before the attack to prevent a violation of Belgium neutrality and so hoping that Britain would stay out of the war. A few hours or days before the decleration of war, the Kaiser even thought about a change of strategy - defense in the west, all in in the east against Russia. Although his railway-experts thought it to be possible, High Command did not have the nerves to change the plan so short before execution.

In hindsight, it would have been worth the risk. Austria-Hungary could have avoided the early defeat of Przemysl and therefore be a stronger partner in the east...

However, Feldmarschall Larry will be in Paris in 40 days or so :) Onward to victory!

Hey there Cfant dude, thanks for the exposition. I had no idea. WW1 isn't my area of expertise and I'm learning all the time about this conflict. And last turn the Allies attacked me with their planes.... an airstrike. How rude. I'll have to develop my own plan of attack to include aircraft.

Sorry everybody....it looks like this game is going to be abandoned because it's too big and time consuming
for real world conditions currently. I think maybe it's because I let Elmer move my units for one turn,
the last turn I did, but maybe not. Brian IS in a special situation, I admit.

At any rate we're going to drop back to something smaller and shorter and something I've been
working on lately for a fun scenario that also is relatively realistic: my B41 mod v.5.6 which is
specifically designed to be more fun than v.5.5 even. I've playtested it briefly and Brian is going to
help me playtest the Soviet side so I can see if it's still balanced at all. So thanks for reading this
far <waves hands> and I bless you with my wargammers blessing that all your games will be especially funfull.
