Eastern Entente so Grey can know how it feels to be wiped out in mass numbers.

Death to Zerbs. Also, let's get a soviet union!

After giving it some thought, invading Switzerland just seem like a terrible idea, as it stretches Germany far too thin. Thus:

German: B, the Moltke Plan
Austria: B, The Kaiser Plan

Together, this is the "Invade Russia" plan: Russia is so weak that Austria can actually fight their troops man-for-man on even terms, and a two front war on Russia could allow Germany the opportunity (depending on how thin the Eastern Entente forces are) to clear the Baltic Sea of coastal guns so that the German navy can actually be used for something.

Once Russia is crippled by the initial blow, Germany can begin trickling more and more people west to put a check on Britain and France, who will eventually arrive in force at what should be a VERY well defended German border. While the Germans hold the line there, Germany can deliver a killing blow to Russia, and then use both ships and rail to move the bulk of the army against the Western Entente, who should be open to a flanking attack somewhere (the exact location depends on where they send most of their troops).

That's all well and good, but how many Zerbs will be killed if we follow this plan?

2B Austria makes it somewhat clear that they'll be dealt with, just at a later date. If they waste themselves attacking fortified defenses in the mean time, all the better.

We've heard these promises of Zerb blood for years with no actual Zerb blood. I am sick of out-of-touch politicians promising us Death To Zerbs but then invariably bait-and-switching us into killing Russians or Bulgarians. It's not the same.

Hindenburg destroys Rennenkamp's army. Only the faster cavalry are able to flee the battlefield.

Alright either I can't read or Grey can't because it looks to me like you only killed ten thousand men of Rennenkamp's hundred thousand man army.

I know that goons are all in the habit of going MAXIMUM HITLER, so in that vain can we NOT GAS METZ? :v:

Don't care about Egypt, care about ejecting the million British that are presently strolling all over the beloved Vaterland.

Hard to maintain the moral high ground when you're under the Gallic boot.

I'm thinking about calling it, not only because I've lost, but because the turns take an hour to do, in a solid block. My Son is now waking at 4-5am and Its getting hard to find that block of time. (Hence the sporadic updates)

I'll continue if people want me to play it out though! I'm not a quitter.

I want to see a WWI game, but not this one. The only thing it did for me was teach me to ID some of the generals.

Little Grey is way more important than watching the Central Powers get their noses rubbed in it.

Wait, I thought the choice was between this and another WWI game, not between this and some Greyspawn. Spend the hour teaching your kid about the Great War, Grey. You're British, that's like all you're expected to do as a father.

And by "teach" I mean keep doing LPs with that hour.
