I can't understand these kinds of games, and not getting it bugs me almost as much as me being weird

Central Powers are so overdone. If it were a binary between them and the Entente, then yeah, I could see it, but we get to mix it up here.

I'd pick Central Powers, but also a question. Is there any relationship between this game and Ascaron's "World War One"?

Central Powers. Any chance that this game has the Caucasus in it, or am I hoping for too much?

The entire world is represented, basically, including the Caucasus, but most non-European areas are represented by "boxes" at the edges of the map, which can move forces towards Europe (often via other boxes) but are typically far from the main fighting. Same goes for a lot of the colonial areas; boxes are also used for some diplomacy and commerce raiding stuff.

Having played BoA2 and CW2 I'm curious (and a little horrified) to find out how AGEOD handles static fronts stretching from the mountains to the sea.

This was much closer than I thought, then again, I suppose Russia are also the underdogs in this timeline!
I'll give this about eight more hours then start work on the first proper update.

In fairness, the underdogs aren't the Russians on the Eastern Front, it's the Austro-Hungarians! Who can't beat anyone without help thats not the Italians.

Eastern Entente, especially if this includes Serbia.

Russia in WW1 is a pretty interesting beast, really, and not just for the Revolution which receives by far the lion's share of recognition. The thing about Russia in this time was potential, or rather unfulfilled potential, for the past decade Russia, partly fuelled by generous French loans, had been the most rapidly growing economy on Earth, industry had begun to be seriously developed and output multiplied year by year, more and more railroad was laid down (for the purpose of strengthening the system of strategic reserves) and illiteracy was halved during the 10 year period. However none of these developments had really been completed or run their course by the time the war cam, a fact known by others, such as Germany's military leadership, much of their fatalism when it came to accepting (or embracing) war in 1914 came from a conviction that it would be better to have a war with Russia now than 3 or 4 years down the line when her industrial output had further multiplied and her strategic railways were complete.

Then in the war Russia would suffer from the strategic, logistical and economic shortcomings it had because of this incomplete transformation. Significant loss of equipment, hard to replace, early in the war also did much to hamper Russian ability to conduct offensives and train troops, this led to some desperate strategies at the time (the whole "the man with the rifle shoots, the one without follows"-thing was actually something that happened from time to time in WW1). Still Russian formations routinely manhandled the Austro-Hungarians and the Turks throughout the war (alot of that probably came from early victories where the Turks suffered tens of thousands of casualties from not being properly equipped and trained for winter mountain warfare), and they had some competent enough commanders to pull of impressive offensive actions throughout the war, Brusilov offensive comes to mind.

Also hope this game manages to capture Serbia completely humiliating the Austro-Hungarians in their first unaided attempts to invade and punish the country.

or they should switch to the other faction that can substantively play the naval game! (I'm guessing here tbh, for all I know the HSF loses every time)

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?


Does this even represent the naval war? It's an AGEOD game so I'm assuming it uses some unholy abomination of cards and off-board boxes or something to try and approximate it.
