Western Front Paris November 1914 A strong detachment of the 1st Army pushed straight through Compiegne with the main body of the 1st Army following behind. In case of a major battle before the siege, several corps were placed into reserve. As it developed, there was no French Army to fight-all were...

Western Front Northern Sector Nov 1 '14 As the decision was made to capture aris, not too much else was pressed for. It was desired to insure the right flank was covered and that the French Army in Soissons was tied down so it could not interfere with the movement of the main body of the 1st Army. T...

Western Front
Overview
Nov 1 1914

The overall situation is not looking too good for France at this time. I think that it still has the armed forces, but there are key units cut off now-not close enough to help in the critical coming battle.

Western Front South Sector Nov/Dec 1914 The southern sector saw one large battle, at Metz and several small ones. Metz was attack by the 6th Army-from the south. It was an expensive contest, but it had to be won. In the end, the French were driven out, this dooming all their forces in the Rhineland....

In East and West Prussia the pressure was put on Russian forces. Although there will be no crushing defeat of their forces this winter, the Russian forces will have to withdraw or risk being cut off in the spring. The 10th Army did a good job in threatening the Russian north flank with a successful ...

The Turkish fronts were in good shape as the year closed. The British were in Egypt in strength, but some units were seen moving back towards Suez-possibly for movement to another theater. [ATTACH]11197[/ATTACH] The Turk Army in Gaza was quite a strong force. Perhaps the ai deduced it would not get ...

The Serbian Front was also beginning to solidify.

A/H -Russian Front November 1914 The Aggressiveness of the A/H forces needed to be toned down. Defenses were stiffening and the front getting thicker with Russian forces. It was time to put the new defense doctrines to work-and save manpower for next spring. There were a few more actions that had to...

There was some other naval actions in November-but without loss-the German Navy was lucky. In addition to this close near the Falklands, the Karlsruhe was almost caught on its belated raid on the Congo port.

The planned raid on the English coast did not materialize. As it were, there was a rather large RN Fleet-like the whole navy very close to Germany. I knew there was a fleet there from Uboat action, but thought is was a small outfit-not so. The following battle took perhaps 5 rounds. I tried to withd...

As luck seems to be on the CP's side, a major sortie is planned for November. The BC Fleet will conduct a raid on the south east English coast while the HSF wil make a "control" mission in Dogger Bank. With some luck a small part of the RN will be caught and destroyed.

Technological research has been moving long fairly well. I still have the special event to speed research, but am saving that for the more difficult projects ahead. These are the projects already completed. [ATTACH]11185[/ATTACH] Unit construction is well underway in Germany. The 14th Army will be t...

Even though Germany is running a slight budget deficit at this time, it seems like a good idea to help out the A/H's. There is a handy little mechanism to do this. [ATTACH]11183[/ATTACH] The "national moral" is doing fine among the CP nations. A/H is the blue line in the graph. The only reason that ...

It is getting close to the inter-phase period where various political and production changes come about. The Political options are several pages long. I have chosen two different views of the German and A/H choices. The first is Germany's options. Calling up conscripts is a given. There are a few th...

Well, I decided to wait one more turn before letting it rip-I will have a better defense by then.

06 Maestro

Yes, do it ! After all, we only live once ! :D (PS: I am also impressed with the apparent "historicity" - ie, relative faithfulness to what actually happened in history - of your AAR. Seems much better in this aspect also relative to what I saw in my few pathetic attempts at playing WW1 (1st versio...

I am starting to be afraid of this AI ;) . Great job, Calvinus ! :D I am already in that club. It is tempting to increase the aggressiveness right now just to see what will happen. However, in view of the current pre-stage of the "race to the sea" situation and the odd situation of 2 Russian Armies...

06 Maestro

Please note (again) that I released 13 beta (private) patches since 06 Maestro started his AAR, and that the AI is considerably improved in the meanwhile. So this AAR would have "developed" very differently if he had started it right now! :D I only have the ai set at about 60% and difficulty at abo...

06 Maestro

Breathtaking :) :cool: Actually, I am finding this a bit exciting-the best contest I have had yet with this game. The AI is far more crafty in battle managment and apparently in operations also. The contest in the west is right on the edge of being a complete success-although I am being rational ab...

Ottoman Empire Oct. 1914 This was a fairly quiet month in the south. The O.E. 3rd Army advance out of Kars to the north east. There was a small battle which the Turks won. In another action the detachment of the 3rd Army advancing due north ran into a surprise Russian deployment-and were driven back...

Here is another shot of the detachment reorganization tool. This is something that really adds to the ease in playing the game. It is just really good. I am looking forward to utilizing this after a big redeployment phase-which will be coming up soon. In this particular action I just detached a cava...

Eastern Front Northern Sector Oct. 1914 There was no additional action in East Prussia-except the siege of Koenigsberg. The fortress is still holding out. There was some thought of sending the 8th Army to lift the siege, but in view of the serious threat Russia posses on the Central Front, this coul...

Eastern Front Central Sector Oct. 1914 The German 9th and 10 Armies finally arrived on the scene. The 10th arrived in Thorn and the 9th at Frankfurt am Oder. The 8th and 10 Armies were to begin an operation to cut off the advance Russian forces in West Prussia while the 9th Army took up defensive po...

Serbian Front October 1914 A/H forces have been making slow and steady progress against the Serbians. Serb forces have attacked several times-and recently won one small battle at a heavy price. In October the 5th Army was ordered to attack Belgrade-it was in turn attacked first by the Serbian Army. ...

06 Maestro

The A/H 4th Army also had some good fortune. It was supposed to launch an attack, but the Russians beat it to the punch-the Russians attacked first. As it turns out, this was a good thing. The Russian Army was quite large and could likely have defeated the 4th Army if it was defending. As it was, th...

The 1st Army continued its run of good fortune. The Russian Army at Rzin looked large, but gave way quickly at little cost to the 1st Army.

A/H and Russian Front October 1914 The A/h Army has been riding high since the opening battles. This did not change during October. There were only two offensive moves ordered; one by the 1st Army to capture Rzin and by the 4th Army-basically securing the front to its right flank. The first Army was...

Western Front Southern Sector November 1, 1914 The German position is relatively safe because of the stiffer defense offered by the new trench doctrine. In a short time the T.E. will benefit from this also. To save the two French armies the T.E. will be compelled to attack. The 5th, 6th and 7 Armies...

Western Front- North Sector November 1, 1914 The campaign is at a critical point-for both the T.E. and the C.P. The German 1st Army is within striking distance of Paris. Its advance could be forestalled by a French counterattack-likely from Soissons. The BEF now has forces, of an unknown amount, in ...

06 Maestro

The 5th and 6th Armies took their assigned objective; Briey and St Mihiel, respectively.

This has resulted in cutting off 2 Frecnh Armies in the Rhineland. Minimal force will be used to counter this threat until the great push on Paris is completed-or ended.
