It is sadly true that some enjoy depreciating America's eventual military accomplishments in France during the final 6-months of the war. And of course it would never do to acknowledge that by June 1918 over 70% of the convoy escorts on the Atlantic were American. However this debate won't be resolv...

what is the AEF? We discovered an AI tendency to overcrowd colonies but this should have been fixed several betapatches ago. AEF = American Expeditionary Force U.S. First Army HQ with five corps under Pershing and a detachment of two corps. No tanks, artillery or aircraft included. The game should ...

The AEF in Africa?

Hi. Another perplexing late-war AI behavior. It is June 1918 and the entire AEF totalling seven corps is sitting in Dakar, French West Africa. This is many thousands of kilometres from the nearest Central Powers unit and I could really use them on the Western Front where the French Army has successf...

So it's now working as designed. Consider also that fleets can be regarded as "pirates" (they ideally take refuge in neutral ports). Ok, thanks. Of course international laws of the day prevented belligerant warships from operating out of neutral harbours but I suppose this way gives the Entente Atl...

Naval woes

No issues with the naval routines in the contested seas, the North Sea and the Med. So far, given the level of abstraction all the results to date seem entirely reasonable to me. Raiders on the other hand... Several German ships remain on the loose in the South Atlantic. All Germany's colonies are t...

If this game http://www.slitherine.com/games/ctgw_pc plays as well in multiplayer as Commander Europe at War, it should be a winner. Though I'm anxious of "mind-breaking decision making" in any venture, let alone a game ;) Also of interest is their claim that "CTGW will use a different (non java-ba...

Looked long and hard at GOA before settling on WW1G therefore my opinions on the former are based solely upon the reviews and game forum over at Matrix. Three things eventually drove me to choose WW1G and are personal opinions only: 1. BIG scale hexeswars are better represented by provinces or some ...

Ok I understand... you are in Events phase, supply is checked in the beginning of Military phase. So, as soon you enter the Military phase, you should see they are now isolated. Not so, see the attached screenshot from the Jan-Feb 1916 Military phase. Although they should be isolated they successfu...

Supply through neutral country?

Me again, hope this isn't getting too tiresome, WW1G is really a superb game. My 1915 French Grand Offensive was a spectaular success, helped in part by a major German attack the previous turn that went badly wrong for them. As can be seen in the attached screenshot, I have pinned a large Geman forc...

The unit is shaken, so you cannot use it again. This is what I figured! Is the Retreat button unavailable? Yes - retreat was not an available option, the button remained dark when moused over and clicking it had no effect. Defenders backs to the sea perhaps so no retreat path? If you activate the B...

Last Unit Lockup?

Odd lockup discovered this date, haven't seen anything similar. Under Turkish attack in Basra all British units except X Corps were eliminated and it was damaged and immobile. See attached screenshot, WW1G was waiting for me to place X Corps into the Front Line but being immobile, that was not possi...

Thank you for the response however the intention is to ship the two corps in order to negate the -1 NW penalty imposed every military phase. I have the troops ready to sail but cannot seem to get them there. The temporary loss of two corps is better than the continual drain of NW as 1915 rolls on. T...

Reinforcing the Colonies

Hi, first post here. Bought WW1-LGG a couple of days ago and am hugely impressed the attention to details and overall authenticity of the game. My very first wargames were Avalon Hill's 1914 and Jutland and I have studied World War 1 since I was a teen in the 1960's. WW1-LGG has a steep learning cur...
