End-of-1913 recap:

Spring 1914 movement

  • Will rotate to BAL; may be useful for attacking Russia later on
  • Supporting myself into Ruhr so I can guarantee Munich in Autumn
  • Once Munich falls, other centres will be easy pickings

So this is how I will move

  • NTH C Edi – Bel
  • Edi – Bel
  • Lon – ENG
  • Den – BAL
  • Hol – HEL
  • Kie S Bel – Ruh
  • Bel – Ruh
  • Bur S Par – Gas
  • Par – Gas
  • Mar – Spa
  • WMS – Spa
  • NAf – Tun

  • Gal – Ukr
  • GOL – TYS
  • SKA – Swe
  • Mos – Ukr

Turkey

  • Sev S BLA – Rum
  • BLA – Rum
  • Con hold
  • Smy S Con
  • Sev hold
  • BLA hold

Spring 1914 resolved:

  • Austria is getting into position to support Munich, but if Germany ignores Austria as before then Austria cannot save Germany
  • Turkey gave up?! Those were 4 hold orders…
  • I don’t know how to help Russia; now Germany will have rogue fleet all the way to StP
  • Maybe it doesn’t matter if I’m gonna mop up the centres later on anyway

Autumn 1914 movement

  • Since I can cover Brest, I can afford leaving Germany’s army in Gascony and take Munich ASAP and also try go for Berlin
  • Worst case is I lose Marseilles because Austria is finally supporting Germany into it but it’s unlikely

So this is how I will move

  • NTH hold
  • HEL hold
  • ENG – Bre
  • Kie S BAL – Ber
  • BAL – Ber
  • Pic S Bel – Bur
  • Bel – Bur
  • Ruh S Bur – Mun
  • Bur – Mun

Autumn 1914 resolved:

Before builds:

  • Ok, so Austria supports Munich and Germany is smart enough to let that happen
  • Austria now piling up armies at the stalemate line…but it means Austrian defences against R/T are weaker; Turkey please attack
  • Another good thing is I may be able to take Moscow/Tunis easier than normal stalemate situations, because of a surviving Russia and Turkey, and especially if Russia continues to help me, or at least harass Germany and Austria
  • Germany very likely to disband Gascony, then I can bolster Marseilles and send fleets to break through the Med
  • Build army at London to convoy

Builds

  • Germany: Disband Gas
  • Germany: Disband Gas

After builds:

  • Gas disbanded, that’s the only logical choice really
