ORIGINAL: Robotron

Looks like Italy and Turkey will be gone by 1916 and Bulgaria is nowhere near joining CP.
Also almost no convoy war in the Atlantic.

Is this behaviour deemed standard for a standard vanilla CTGW multiplayer game or are you guys trying out some wacky-stuff tactics?
I like seeing a big AH submarine fleet quite a lot for a change but I liked the Entente landing at Beirut even more.
Wicked!




Italy has a lot of fight in it with an advanced tech tree can turn the match around rather quickly if not pushed hard. In another match Italy (me) in 13 turns is knocking at Vienna's door. My OE is nothing but a rag doll and will never recover enough to even make it past 1915 (read on). In another match I was not able to naval bombard OE (Constantinople, Izmir, Gallipoli) as others have successfully done and saw quite a formidable OE army develop, to tell the truth I was impressed.

Early on in this AAR had minor success with a known convoy route, however it becomes futile with the the low number of convoy kills it takes to have the USA go on the march to war, so investing in wolf packs there at a significant cost does not shine all that much, especially where several Entente sub fleets can cut Baltic merchant fleets to ribbins plus surface fleets that need constant repair. Take a look at my recent Baltic posts as an example. In another match as CP I sank somewhere around 200 convoy points before getting warning events (some of which I cannot find in the lua files).


Beirut landings (Aqaba, Adana, Allepo, Kuwait, Kut landings) and such are not uncommon in MP, both in English and French and sometimes jointly.

Eastern Front:

Russia is keeping up harrying attacks along the entire front with some results, nothing that is affecting the CP main offensive. AH's lack of artillery ammo prevented it from firing while the German artillery upgraded to phosgene. CP did attacks/counter -attacks with ground and air on weakened Russian units. The target of the next push is at the Russian salient southeast of Brest-Litovsk, by rights it should be a tough job against an infantry. One thing about being in a swamp hex: The defender get's a +1 to defense vs most other hexes. Just starting to notice Russian fighters at Vinnyesia.

Eastern Mediterranean:

Located the French dreadnaught and attacked doing no damage except to my own fleet. CP's only local port for repairs is Izmir (as long as OE can stay in the game), so have to form a kind of repair ratline to keep pressure on the French fleet. The remnants of the Damascus OE army are starting to gather at Aleppo and hopefully escape to the north, but looking to the east (white circles) of there has me worried about being cut off from full supply. Sacrificed a OE garrison to hold up the English advance near Beirut.

Black Sea: Sailed the German raider to Odessa and returned the OE cruiser to safer waters. With OE's NM dropping to 20 I may have to abandon Odessa and sail both the raider and transport to the west of Gallipoli. The Russian sub fleet was reduced to a 2 from attacking the OE cruiser while in port, the cruiser was close to being sunk itself. A Russian balloon has been randomly bombing OE cities within it's range (16 hexes) from Crimea.

Erzurum:

The English infantry by Izmir died from attrition allowing the OE AC next to it to disband producing 1 PP which was used to repair a garrison by Erzurum, at the same time withdrawing other units westward and reattaching a general there. Left an 5 AC in place as a token sacrifice. Ironically by offering sacrifices it helps OR's NM form falling faster due to eliminating upkeep for these units (that's my appraisal). Next turn will put the OE cruiser into port and decommission it and glean whatever PP becomes available.. I know that OE is doomed and there is no negotiating so I'm just trying to keep OE alive as long as possible so that mrdozer's troops cannot go elsewhere to menace other CP locations, the farther his troops are drawn away from ports and such the harder it will be for him to regroup them elsewhere..

Belgium:

The French and English concentrated air attacks are creating havoc with this line's center and with meager reserves to plug the holes could lead to an Entente breakthrough. Up north the ACs and supporting fighter have been doing a good job circumventing Entente bombing runs on these high production cities. I'm hoping Russia surrenders soon so as to reinforce this front..

Italian Front:

The amount of Italian reinforcements is testament to this country's production strength. Italy has lost 3 cities (-!6 PP) and Rome has been reduced from 21 PP to 16 PP, also Turin, Genoa and Taranto have lost PP, yet Italy is still able to produce fresh units of decent quality, if not equal to CP's. With the hex captured northwest of Florence will solidify a front, but will also completely make available a rail-line from AH to the Florence front. Heavy light blue line indicates a solid front. Now I can concentrate on the march to Rome and can see the defensive buildup there when moving air squadrons to support this battle. More bombing runs on Rome hopefully will prevent further Italian troops from arriving. Am concerned French and English troop transports could arrive in this part of the country, none so far.. Should Russia surrender first Italy will soon follow is my guess..

Baltic:

Originally planned on supporting Tallinn with an extra garrison, now decided to try and take Helsinki, at the very least cause the Russians to deploy units there instead of the Eastern Front. What's concerning to me here is the possibility of my main German battle fleet from being completely hemmed in by attacking English sub fleets. Other German fleets are either repairing or upgrading or both. Bombarded Helsinki for who knows if I'll be able to capture it? Fleets are counter-attacking when the odds are "definitely" favorable, or at least mutual losses, for it's harder for the Entente to repair with only 1 port accessible vs the 3 ports nearby to CP. Chose not to engage enemy subs up north after making contact, I'd rather wait till sub reinforcements arrive back up here before giving away my positions and it's not clear to me that Russian Balloon corps are still around.

Eastern Front:

OK, success with eliminating the Russian salient, making it near impossible for the Russians to retake Brest-Litovsk. Where to go next? CP's best bet is to start it's push north from the fort and stockpile AH ammo for the effort. This is slow going, none the less progressive. I can see the Russians now have AA tech and are getting ready with an attack of their own a little north of here. So opted to have an infantry in place with general's support to take the heat. Clearly the Russians have superior infantry numbers, but have not been able to stop the CP offensive, however winter is somewhere around 6 turns away, which may slow CP down. Trouble is brewing down by Vinnytsia in the form of multiple of Russian class II fighters, of which I am not sure how many they number? If those fighters stay there while CP heads north, I think the offensive will be OK as long as AH maintains it's reserves. The orange circle in Germany is an indication of air defense corps, a cheap one and seems to be effective. Also notice the navy is preparing for the expected upcoming naval battles.

Turkey:

Erzurum is long gone leaving the OE homeland of Turkey as a reference point now. Lost 2 units in Eastern Turkey, the locations of these maybe incorrectly detailed, none the less the Russians are in pursuit of those that remain. The units by Aleppo could not reach the mountains to their north and decided to put up a last ditch fight weakening an English infantry and driving a Russian AC into retreat. Lost the OE cav on the coast, if that had survived the rest of the army may of had a chance to escape around ZOC. Sailed the OE cruiser into port and caused slight damage to the French dreadnaught, that's good news If the AH subs can keep up strong attacks. I tried as best I can to demonstrate the cycle repair to keep pressure on the Entente navy. Keeping 1 sub fleet in Izmir Bay to prevent city bombardments and any possibility of further transport deployments and at the same time hoping Izmir starts producing PP again. I leave 1 sub fleet halfway between port and battle as a reserve in case it is needed either way.

Belgium:

Much of the French air-force left here for Italy thank God.! Hopefully my reserves will recover to take front line positions. Swapped line positions with cav so a healthy infantry will be near the German salient. Not sure how my Hannover fighter got damaged defending cities unless it was directly attacked by a balloon corp, which I'm sure the Entente regretted. When you see an orange line at Stuttgart it means the zeppelin is striking somewhere in Italy. Otherwise, it's fairly quiet here. It would be nice if the reader could see each turn's replay to get more of a feel about what is happening where..

Italian Front:

This front is going to really heat up with the arrival of additional French fighters, which tells you and myself how concerned my opponent is about losing Italy as an ally. This was a very busy turn in a tight area making it hard to replicate all the detail. The Italians were able to kill off my AH cav by Florence with the help of the Italian dreadnaught bombardment that sailed there undetected. AH counter-attacked destroying an Italian garrison allowing for a 2 hex advance towards Rome, at the same time boxing in the PITA Italian infantry from moving. Was also able to destroy the last remaining Italian fighter squadron by the lead AH infantry. The other Rome Italian garrisons are damaged from attacking on their turn, with the exception of the garrison on the Adriatic coast that repaired and was assaulted again this turn with a combined CP effort. Likely the Italians will be forced to withdrawn towards Rome on their turn allowing for significant CP advances from the mountains. Knowing that the garrisons with AA will likely occupy Rome got in as many bombing runs as possible on the city. German artillery has had a great influence on many of these small battle victories. The Milan German cav was forced to RR out to Venice after being cut down to 1 strength. The longer CP leaves it's units unmoved on it's right flank here the stronger the light blue front get's. Would like to hang onto Milan despite the Entente buildup to it's south and west. Most if not all AH fighters received the armed aircraft tech and repaired, many CP fighters moved base closer to Rome for a final showdown at Rome.

Baltic:

Disembarked garrison next to Helsinki unopposed..!! By being able to do this no Russian units can deploy from the queue directly into the capital, although they may deploy beyond the garrison's ZOC, which I will not know till next turn when/if capturing the city. Some may wonder why the kriegsmarine is not trying to save the merchant fleet up north? The reason why is: Because the English sub fleets are already in position there for maximum effect and felt it would have been futile at this point to come to the rescue, if Germany is to gain a foothole in Finland then perhaps I can send zeppelins there to bring the North Baltic into range for counter-sub measure bombing greatly enhancing Kriegsmarine attacks on the enemy. Plus I may be able to recapture Turku and deny Russia of PP. I can only imagine mrdozer's angst at having to pay and redeploy ground units back in Finland with the carnage happening at the Eastern Front. And you know by capturing Helsinki denies Entente sub fleets another port from which they can deploy and repair fleets. Deployed sub fleets to the west of the main fleet to allow access both in and out of the Finland Sea. There's a garrison at Koenigsberg ready to embark for another mission. Tallinn is the key to this whole operation, if the Germans lose Tallinn that could spell a lot of trouble in making Helsinki a success.

Eastern Front:

CP can see there are no Russian reserves to prevent a breakthrough. Softened up the Russian general Evert for next turn's big push now that the AH artillery is in place, even pulled a German infantry out of the line to participate. Moved up the AH general to support the action. I don't think the Russians can see the behind the lines maneuvering which will add to this push. Cav are in place to take advantage of any breakthrough and perhaps to kill off retreating survivors. AH fighters have upgraded and as you can see Kriegsmarine are still refitting. Would love to get my hands on the Russian artillery, it's grasslands north of the swamps excellent for ground movement..

Black Sea: With OE's NM at 17 and close to losing Aleppo decided it's time for the AH garrison to abandon Odessa and leave with the German raider to the Mediterranean for another mission, for once OE surrenders these units will not be eligible to pass through the Bosporus Straights to the Med.. Also taking advantage of the OE ports to repair AH subs while possible.

Turkey:

OE is just starting to generate PP at Izmir and Constantinople again, however the Crimea blimp has taken it's toll on Ankara's PP. The Aleppo army is trying to escape north after being cut off from full supply there's little hope they will survive in a sea of superior enemy units looking for blood. The Eastern Turkey army is still on the run trying to avoid annihilation, they are just 1 step away from the grim reaper. Well that's the end of the good news..lol AH subs did sink a English light cruiser fleet off the coast by Adana, but had to give up cornering the French dreadnaught. If the other Entente fleets stick around for battle that may lead to other successes. Hard to say what will happen..?

Belgium:

Hindenburg was forced to swap out of the front line after a strong combined Entente attack, French fighters took heavy losses during the attack. It's never a good idea to have the only commander for a region to be in such an exposed position in the first place, but at least the reserves here have recovered morale to be front line units again.

Italian Front:

Managed to destroy a French fighter squadron at Genoa. Felt this was important for that unit could see far behind CP lines spotting for possible Entente bomb runs. Also this was in retribution for the areole attacks that nearly wiped out the AH fighters based near Trento, forcing them to flee over to near Zagreb for repair. An Italian combined attack on Milan forced the German unit there to withdraw and be replaced with an AH garrison that has a general's support. Did counter-attack the English infantry here with fairly good results. Repositioned units for the push on Rome while upgrading the German artillery with flash spotting. Had good results forcing a Italian garrison to retreat on the Adriatic coast and inching CP units closer to Rome to where they have a ZOC that prevents new Italian units from deploying in (white diamonds) from the queue. I expect the 2 Italian garrisons here will have to withdraw to protect Rome proper, there's just no way they will allow themselves to be surrounded.. An Italian pre-dreadnaught has arrived to join the fight bombarding AH coastal infantry here. I'm leery about chasing this fleet with my AH fleet for fear the 3 French sub fleets may intercept them putting my fleet in jeopardy.

Baltic:

Before capturing Helsinki positioned Kriegsmarine around the port to prevent any escape of the English sub fleet that showed itself to be there on the previous turn, thus eliminating it. This is a huge small victory for CP having a capital city with port to work from..!! The Russians will have to be worried that Petrograd could be next..! With a second port here the Kriegsmarine can now aggressively attack English sub fleets and return for repairs more readily. Unfortunately while completing this mission the German merchant fleet was sunk up north. Observing the English fleets it appears they are weakened considerably, where German fleets are nearly at 100% readiness and updated. Should be some interesting naval battles coming up soon.

Eastern Front:

Finally got the breakthrough I have been praying for..!! CP artillery opened up with a barrage that devastated the Russian general killing his unit and eliminating the general from the match for several turns..! With his support gone it was easy to attack nearby Russian units with much success with the German deathhead cav. opening up the breakthrough even more putting other Russian units in precarious predicaments in range of CP artillery and without reserves and with no immediate air support that I am aware of. His artillery took a hit and will likely find a safer place (retreat) to survive. The Koenigsberg garrison has embarked to the west of the port so that local Russian units could not spot it and I also feel there are no English subs around to see it this move either. A new sub killing zeppelin has deployed next to Koenigsburg. Spies have reported that the Russians are near collapse, so I am going to do whatever I can to not disappoint them.. I'm anxious to see how the Russians respond to the breakthrough? Guess we are going to have to find out next turn.

Turkey:

Russian cav tried to cut off the East Turkey army then got attacked by the withdrawing army, although it did cause them to split up. OK, the English navy took the bait in trying to keep the English cav in supply to which there is no way the AH sub corps is going to let the light cruiser escape, they may save the cav, but not the fleet. We'll see.. AH transport and German raider arrived just outside of Constantinople after the transport had been sub attacked. I'm not going to waste any time getting these fleets to the Mediterranean seeing that OE's NM is now at 7%, 0% NM is total collapse. Lost a unit by Aleppo and the rest are facing certain death without full supply..

Stats: Germany receives Steel Helmet, Hooded gas mask and bomb rack techs. Bomb racks makes bombers available to recruit..

Made a mistake here: It was the AH who received hooded gas masks. Was reviewing SSs for upcoming posts and discovered Germany got the hooded gas mask in another turn or 2.

Belgium:

English fighters are now visible in France. Germany's economy does not have enough PP to upgrade and repair all units so chose to repair and upgrade those units that are the most exposed at this front so in the succeeding turns assume that that highlighted units have been upgraded when it appears to have been repaired, the cost is about 3-4 PP per unit to upgrade due to the double (steel helmet-hood gas mask) ground unit increase for upgrades. 2 unit swap-outs took place due to low morale and a fresh garrison was deployed by Strassburg. Moved 1 fighter base near Frankfurt because of recent English bombing runs on local cities, these fighters will help in intercepting blimps and add air cover to the German salient in front of Nancy. Green circles indicate repair, blue indicate upgrades, lavender indicates units from the queue.

Italian Front:

Again a lot of activity here both in replay and during CP's turn. The Italians are pushing hard on Milan forcing the defenders back as reserves. Was able to destroy a French fighter base northeast of Turin that supported the Entente attack with CP air-power. Each fighter base costs 30 PP and 5 turns to produce. Repaired upgraded and advanced German garrisons east of Rome, but had to fill a gap temporally with a fighter base to prevent isolation. Finished off 2 Italian garrisons in this region and limit where Italy can deploy more units due to ZOC. AH's Temeschburg blimp took losses bombing Rome. As you can see, many units are in repair, also deployed 2 fresh AH garrisons, 1 near Trento and the other by Trieste (this one can RR directly to the front).

Baltic:

Before leaving Helsinki towards Turku thought to check what's up in Vassa? Turns out to be a lonely Russian blimp, attacked and destroyed it with a zeppelin. With a light cruiser in Helsinki port and with an undetected sub fleet scouted the hexes near Petrograd, no enemies spotted in either white circles so pushed on towards Turku.. Sailed the troop transport to where it can disembark next turn beside or in Tallinn (this done before any naval action takes place). Heavily damaged 1 English sub fleet. No new merchant fleets have spawned so maybe the kriegsmarine will try to get in position up north in case one does show up next turn, there's no guarantee that one will. Detected a 9 strength sub fleet in Russian green dot zone, it not a very good idea to attack in enemy favorable waters. The rest of the main fleet is there to protect the transport. I count 5 damaged English fleets with only 1 port available to them for repair, odds are going in CP's favor.

Eastern Front:

The Russians withdrew a little north of center and sent their artillery even farther north, which I noticed was not repaired (could it be that Russia is going broke?). Destroyed 2 more Russian units and secured the breakthrough, rested, upgraded, maneuvered and repaired units for the next push. Like the other fronts there was not enough PP to take of all units. Really like how AH is stepping up to contribute to the fight and holding it's line that is being harassed. Put a nice big direction arrow to remind everyone where this offensive is going. Once that weakened Russian 9 infantry to the east is either destroyed or pushed out of the way, then this front will really open up..

Eastern Mediterranean:

I can't recall how the English merchant fleet was detected? It could have been another AH sub fleet a little south of here that spotted it.. Regardless these Mediterranean merchant fleets always sail to the exact same locations every time they spawn right on through the Mediterranean. Swung the AH transport into the Med with the raider.. Been thinking about capturing a Italian North Africa city with port. Almost sank the entire English merchant fleet and made sure to block at the entrance to the Adriatic, there's still plenty of Entente navy around and in a way I may have set myself up to being blockaded out of the Adriatic should French subs attack there.

Turkey:

Aleppo is captured and the original Gaza army is kaput, gone.. The only OE army left is in Eastern Turkey and what do they do?: "Go on the attack!!" They know the situation is hopeless and soon will be out-flanked and out of supply. In a way I wished they stayed on the march towards Constantinople, Ankara, somewhere? Just to delay the Entente a victory here, heck, I'm surprised that OE has lasted this long! Take a look at how many units the Entente has on the map here vs OE. One thing for sure: That English light cruiser will not last another turn! Soon the AH sub corps will be heading for home with a lot of battle victories in the bag.
