Lusitania sank early - what triggers that event? Does it have anything to do with German behaviour on the high seas or is it just triggered when Germany goes to war with Britain?
I think so.
This AAR has made me even more optimistic I was before.
Seems also we´may see Gallipolli landings soon...

Either conquer Luxembourg or give it all your French territories after the war. And get Greece on your side. Greece is cool and needs to expand.
Very nice AAR, besides these (ahem) minor problems.

Seems like the British have decided to make better use of their amphibious landing capability by landing 90,000 men in occupied Belgium.
the public opinion was strongly agitated in the US, but that was diminished later on when the US could maintain its role as supplier to all warring parties. Stil after the Lusitania the support for entering the war was too low.
The big shift for supporting the US war involment came when the Kaiser supported the all out submarine war in 1917. By this all commerce shipping - us included - was outlawed.
Dunno. Of course Lusitania was before (and many other sinkings)...but there was not unrestricted submarine warfare till an idiotic meeting between Bethmann Hollweg, Ludendorff, the kaiser, Hindenburg and Von Holtzendorf. It was this guy who said no american soldiers would land in France and that in 6 months english would sue for peace. Curiously, the best analysis was made by the politician, Hollweg, while L and H wanted USW at all cost. That´s why I think they were not N. 1 Generals. Falkenhayn did not make this mistake.
USA at war (not the army, but the perspective of facing 1 million or 2 more enemies in 1919) was what caused the collapse of the Central Powers in October 1918. Soldiers and Generals just did not want to fight a war that was lost.
I think this is really accurate.... the reason the Russians were able to achieve so much in the East is because Germany didn't send as many troops there to defend against them.
This is also why Germany overachieved on the Western Front (about one province further west along the entire front).

Really a good AAR.
And no! The russian ai can never be too strong. If i play germany in 1914, i would fortify the western border and use my main forces against russia. We all know that russia is not very stable. At least I want to have a small challange to take Moskow...

The OE not opening the Caucasus front has given R some advantage. That´s what happened, me thinks.
Russia is going to be in trouble soon. A 1914 Russia has no chance of surviving a front stretching from Finland in the north all the way to the Caucasus. Getting Sweden to join the war may actually have been the last push to turn the tide against Russia.
Looking good Sytass, keep ut the good work

That's what I thought was the reason for the Russian advane but I haven't studied WWI nearly as much as I had WWII so I wasn't sure.
Now that I'm off work, I reread the whole AAR again. Fantastic! A few questions though:
1) Do you anticipate America entering the war? Have you considered any proactive steps to keep her out?
2) Have you considered a surprise attack on Italy, to knock her out of the war unawares?
3) When you mention troop numbers (ie 120,000 did X, 40,000 fought 50,000 etc.) are those actual game numbers, or are you making them up for the AAR?
Obviously you can't reveal everything, but any answers would be appreciated.

Thats the diplomatic map, the terrain one(the main one) is much cooler and prettier...
I think that they're real he posted a screenshot that showed 60k Frenchmen going against 100k Germans.
However I want to know what that tiny yellow country is between Austria-Hungary, Albania, and Serbia?

Thanks for pointing that out. I missed that in the screenshot.
Regarding the small yellow country, I assume it's Montenegro.
