Can WW1 Germany win against Russia without the bolshevik event?

[bigseb31213]

I'm playing a WW1 game as the Ottoman Empire, and Germany and I have obliterated Russia. The Germans have taken St. Petersburg, Kiev, Moscow, Volgagrad, etc, and I've completely conquered the Caucuses, up to Astrakhan and Rostov-on-Don. Problem is, it's only October 1915, and there have not been any events signing peace between the two. I remember a game as Germany I played when the same thing happened: the only way to win against Russia was to wait for the 1917 events sending Lenin back and the coups.

Meanwhile, Germany is being pushed back to the Ruhr on the Western Front because the stupid AI is keeping 40+ divisions either garrisoning all of Russia or randomly sitting around in huge stacks several provinces behind the line. The only reason the French haven't reached Berlin is because I will periodically tag switch to Germany and strategically redeploy their random divisions to the frontlines in France.

Just military control them?

The German did it because of the large partisan risk and the AI didn't smart enough to train Garrisson+mp or simply leave those provides as they was, so the AI will garrison every provinces with all of its troops. If you can, try to have some Garrison+mp and place them there, once the partisan risk go down the AI will transfer the troops to the other places

Afaik you need Stalingrad/Tsaritsyn, Moscow, Petersburg, Crimea and any province west of it to fire the peace event.

I had a game where Russia decided to fight on even after taking the necessary provinces, so that's probably what's happening. As for military control, type "acceptall" into the console and ask for military control over your allies.

yes, but Russia has the option to "fight on", annoyingly enough.
