Wow the Germans are massivly outnumbered in France! A counter attack at this time could push them back miles

Wow the German Imperial High Command really does not want to cross the Seine River!
They must think its full of crocodiles or something...

Yeah. Might want to stop deleting their divisions or Berlin will be French in a year. Or maybe not.Force Change said:
Quit deleting the divisions.
Good job in the east. Hopefully you capture some of the Black Sea Fleet.

Everyone: This was the last time I've intentionally hindered the Germans. The French have absolutely refused to use the advantage I've given them (they haven't started a single counter-attack), so I'm letting them die now as I'm fed up with their idiocy 
Chapter XXIV: Tanais
June 9-27, 1915
The River Don
The Japanese, besides sinking the Austro-Hungarian fleet, must be quite bored with their part in the war. So consequently they've apparently decided to garrison England. How kind of them.
Japanese troops in England
Our astonishment at the yellow peril taking over parts of Europe is boundless. Infuriated, we decide to punish the Asiatic hordes elsewhere and stem the onslaught of the steppes. We resume our eastern offensive. The goal, this time, is to secure the mouth of the Don.
We begin with an attack on Mariupol. As before, the Russians are out of supply, and Sad Old Russian General with his 'oh, okay then' attitude is powerless to stop the forces of modernity (polyethnic dualism, that is).
The attack on Mariupol
Following the victory we immediately press on to Rostov on Don. This is an important port, mumble mumble, more strategic rationalisation for choices motivated entirely by 'let's paint another green blob white'. Sad Old Russian General has more divisions, but is still blue.
The Battle of Rostov
We also see an opportunity to push further and assault the enemy's positions in Sumy and Kharkov. They crumble as expected. This will teach them to be Bolshevik pig-dogs and resist the invincible rise of the modern age, a.k.a. dualism.
Further advances
The Germans, meanwhile, have decided to respond to the Italian declaration of war with somewhat grim humour.
'Declarations of war still being accepted here'
Nice propaganda poster.
Sad Old Russian General isn't a match for your dualism I see. If I were you I'd promote von Brudermann to Feild Marshal, he must have quite some experience by now, this will let him command more troops.
I laugh at the Japanese.

That has to be the best propaganda poster EVER! It beats one that I've seen though (a beaver chomping down a tree with Hitler on top of it, forgot what it says though).
Keep the advance on the Steppes!

Nice advance on the Russian steppes!
I'm playing as Austria myself in the same MOD, the bloody germans don't do anything there though... I haven't deleted or cheated in any way, but still they have dugged in without conquering belgium and... well... they're just useless...
Nice to see your allies at least do something (eg. Propaganda posters )

lol the Japanease, in my Vikky WW1 game they moved troops through all Russia to fight on the Eastern front
The Germans may need some help in the North, you seem to be diverting alot of attention away from them which is great. Love the pictures

Maj. von Mauser: Generals seem to be gathering experience rather slowly, so for a lot of them it isn't really worth it yet... my idea was to have Hötzendorf command this offensive, but he's sitting around in Priluki with the incredibly slow HQ unit. (Yes, I only have one )
Griffin.Gen: There's nothing like a good propaganda poster. My two favourite political cartoons (not necessarily propaganda) are:
and
The second one (by Dr Seuss, I love the crazed anger on the face of the Russian bear-cat thing!) was used in the utterly brilliant 'The Bloody Road to Berlin' AAR (I forget the nick of the chap who did it).
Elidioemperor: I only started doing this in spring 1915, the Germans got stuck all by themselves. I'm not doing it to prolong the war, I just get frustrated at the French AI. The Germans seem enormously strong, but also enormously stupid. They do have the determination (looks like a low passivity AI setting, in very marked contrast with the French).
Force Change: Well, the Germans seem to get themselves encircled all the time :wacko: Mind you, with their 300-something IC they can cope.
Enewald: Yes, I'm on holiday Welcome back!

Chapter XXV: Between a Rock and a Hard Place
June 28 - July 12, 1915
The Alps
So, last time we checked, the Italians barely had any troops on our shared border, and the French, after all, would never be stupid enough to divert troops from their increasingly desperate defence of Paris. So things should be fine.
The Battle of Fiume
Erm. This might cause a few problems. Thankfully the Italians are apparently really serious about Italia Irredenta, rather than, say, pushing into economically vital Tyrol and Carinthia. However, fifty-two enemy divisions against about ten of our own isn't really a Good Thing in any case.
Of course, the Viennese newspapers will insist (because we insisted) that the enemy's present success, caused by nothing but treachery and Latin perfidy, will be rapidly reversed by our soon-to-be-victorious troops. This is a mere trial to test our faith in polyethnic dualism, and all that. As things are now, we of course lose rather badly at Fiume; our shattered troops retreat to Zagreb. To organise for an irresistible counter-charge, of course.
In the meantime, it seems that we've got a bit cocky in the east. Brudermann is suddenly counter-attacked by strong Bolshevik suid-canine forces and pushed back.
Russian counter-attacks
In an attempt to compete with my defeats, the Germans have decided to get themselves encircled in Toropets as a sign of solidarity. Great allies. We of course know this is all part of the cunning top-secret master plan that will lead to complete and utter victory for the Central Powers.
The Battle of Toropets
These temporary and apparent reverses inspire us to a show of the close friendship and solidarity that exist between the two emperors. Our Ministry of Propaganda and Education issues a postcard that, in peerless art, shows just how close the bonds are between the German and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
'Firm in faithfulness'
This picture, however, is received with some consternation in Berlin, and we are forced to admit that it rather does look like the two emperors are falling apart outwards. Let's hope it isn't so.
They always forget about Luxemburg! Fascists...Enewald said:Love that soviet animal pic.

I guess Dr Seuss had a pretty accurate view of the role of Italy within the Axis
Send Rommel to the Alps!
Could help.
And why did you destroy germans divisions on the western front? :wacko:

Enewald: I wiped out some German divisions to compensate for the fact that the Brits are refusing to send the Frenchies any help whatsoever. But I think I'm done now. The French with their timidity don't deserve it. I really should have had a look at the AI settings before...
Griffin.Gen: The Ministry of Propaganda and Education (or, as it was historically, Culture and Propaganda) is ripped off from Nazi Germany, that was Goebbels's ministry. At least they were quite frank about what his job was. :wacko:
Maj. von Mauser: I know... but this can only be a temporary setback. The vast impersonal forces of history will ensure the victory of dualism!
Oh, and I might be able to put Rommel on the Italian front - after all, he got his medal Pour Le Mérite for the Battle of Caporetto. I haven't been able to find any pictures of young Rommel, though...
