The second battle for Belgrade was not as impressive as the first one. While Austrians lost more men, I was expecting more out of now entrenched and staffed Serb units. Elsewhere a cavalry recon in Ruthenia met an Austrian patrol.

Sure they are. I got 6 useless army generals and a horrific GHQ All they need is 3 good battles each.

The dice are cruel - every single Russian army commander facing Austria-Hungary has a strategic rating of 2 or fewer. Unable to see the strength of my enemy's generals, I go for a defensive play with a few feints to gather intelligence.

It is clear that Belgrade will not be defended easily, as second Austrian army crosses Middle Sava just to the west. Two divisions led by Jurisic-Sturm just south of the city are ordered to dig in, to be reinforced by the Uzice Army marching north. Even Montenegrin allies are mobilized. [ATTACH]3029...

That's the way it has been in other Ageod games and admittedly I just assumed it to be the same. Is that incorrect?

Oh, you're absolutely correct.

I just realized my West Front Troops up North in Aachen and Essen area have absolutely no ammunition. I am at a loss as to why that is and also how they have won battles without it. If they don't have any medium or heavy artillery, they should be just fine. Regimental artillery, included in most di...

Thank you

Well, I do want to see AI at its possible best. Well, almost - I stopped 2 levels shy of maximum in detection and 1 in activation.

No sooner than Serbian troops are rallied together when enemy comes in force, over a hundred thousand of them. Austrians manage to find an approach that fortress guns do not cover, but Serbian field artillery makes a quick work out of them anyway. The battle unlocks the fortress garrison, and our mo...

France, Germany, and Austria-Hungary choose historical options too. Early August is all about Serbia. Belgrade has the best defensive position in the country, and I intend to let Central Powers come to me for their objective. All mobile Serbian forces are moved towards Belgrade, and even the city's ...

The main priority of this campaign is going to be preventing the Russian revolution at all costs. Of all the plans available I am choosing the historical one, because armies can be easily moved, but the morale penalty is harder to recover.
