Eastern Entente because I've always felt bad for Czar Nicholas, so maybe if you win the war he can retire to somewhere nice instead of, well, y'know...

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.

4B

Historical paths are boring, let's violate Swiss neutrality and ignore the entire reason this war started in the first place. Also, I assume pissing off Italy instead of the British means we can get away without the Royal Navy blockading us for a little while longer.

Yeah realistically the only way Britain ends up NOT eventually joining on the Entente side is if France does something truly idiotic like reverse-Schlieffening Belgium.

Do we really need the Ottomans in quick? It might antagonize the British, and the only benefit is them maybe harassing the Serbs we already have under control. I guess technically they can threaten the Russians through the Caucuses too but ehhhh I'd still rather keep the money/ships.

IF it antagonizes the English I'm still a "no" vote, because every extra day we can stay unblockaded is a little treasure. If it doesn't I guess we can go for it. Is it possible to take advantage of the window we still have of open seas to build up a stockpile of important things?

E: that's a good point, what's 500 funds worth?

Definitely do whatever we can to keep the Brits out for a few more months or whatever we can manage

E: ^^^ Also that ^^^

I mean, there was no way they were gonna tolerate German continental hegemony, Belgium was just a convenient excuse. Still, without violating someone's neutrality it doesn't really make sense for them to jump in this early - I think they'd only do that if it was obvious France was starting to lose.

I'm on board with that, but could we afford a point of research into chemical weapons as well? I dunno how effective they are in the game but at the very least we don't want to fall behind and let the Entente beat us to them.

GAS GAS GAS and pressure the British. Who knows, we may even get REALLY lucky and threaten the Suez.

So remember when people said it would be a good idea to focus on the Western front BEFORE they could leverage having some of the largest economies and strongest armies in the world against us?

Losing the Suez Canal just snipped the Empire in half, I have no idea how they're keeping a lid on India and the 3rd Boer War we started when apparently every single soldier they have is in France.

Holy poo poo Kaiserslautern is one hell of a Somme equivalent. How the gently caress do they still have a cohesive army after... what, 300-400k casualties in the span of a few days?

Yeah the Russians are at 78, not 75. IIRC, once they do hit 75, then they start losing NM every turn that it's not above 75, and as you can imagine this rapidly death-spirals into the Revolution. It's not instant, though, and they can theoretically pull out of the tailspin by powering through and somehow getting their NM back above 75 to stop the bleeding.

So how has the UK not crumbled under a storm of Syndicalist revolutionaries shouting "break the chains!" yet? 75% rebel alignment seems horrific but apparently Dread Lord Kitchner can just ignore it completely?

I remember someone saying that rebels don't affect the AI earlier in the thread, is that true?
