And indeed, I'm reading too. I just happen to disappear for the odd weekend.

A nice scene of the British arrival. I suppose you now have something like an embarrassment of riches in terms of fighting men. Will another offensive be in the offing?

No we just have common intrest ;)
After receiving the five British divisions its to tempting to not make an offensive to expand our coast line

Ironfoundersson said:
Good the Brits come to the rescue! Where will the next offensive take place?

Yes, I’m very pleased with my allies :), the next offensive will be along the coast or on the Austria-Hungarian army concentration (4 divisions) in Sarajevo. If my attack succeeds in Sarajevo they will have an hard time to stabilise the font , but it will take all my available resources and my manpower will be less then zero after the attack even if I win.

What do you guys think? Where shall I make my offensive?

Here you go!
The British army is located in Drubrovik, notice the two big Austria-Hungarian armies at Sarajevo and Tuzla. I thinking of an offensive in Split and then take Livno with the British army to secure its flank. :)

I think I'd go with that plan, but also with half an eye on setting up a possible encirclement of Sarajevo-Tuzla.

The presence of the British expeditionary force had given Serbia valuable time to plan a new offensive to protect their motherland. They had no less then 52 000 thoroughly rested British soldiers with high moral available for the offensive. They had the latest weapons in warfare, excellent training and they were fast shooters (fifteen shoot per minute, one shot per forth second). New offensive around Split and Livno was quite simple, the plan was highly influenced by the German Schlieffen plan with the same principles (strong right flank). IV. Corps (including 10 000 Serb soldiers) would advance along he coast to secure their left flank, they would advance in the province in Split then make an halt. The British expeditionary force (including 52 000 British soldiers) would advance on IV. Corps right flank and secure it, their mission is to occupy Livno then halt for further protection of IV. Corps right flank. Bojokovic and William were in a good mod, the tides had once again changed in the war of the Balkans and another excellent news had arrived in Serbia, United States of America had joined the Entente.

The situation for Serbia, August 1915

“Ahh… The great war will soon be over” said Bojokovic meanwhile he smoked his victory cigar.

Sir William leaned back in his comfortable sofa.

“Indeed old chap, the war will be over soon… ”

Sir William gave out an sight of relief.

In the background an old radio was playing some classic music, the music made an echo in the large room. Suddenly a nice little tone was heard from the radio and the music slowly stopped playing.

“We interrupt this program to give you the latest news from the western front, after weeks of German offensive along the Verdun – Besanqon line, the strong defence line of France, they have now successfully smashed the defence line just hours ago. The French and British casualties ratings is growing after numerous attempts to stabilise the front. I repeat, the German have brook the fortified Verdun – Besanqon line. ”

“oh my god…” Sir William’s face turned pale

Peace was once again far away for the people of Europe…

‘The August offensive’

‘The August offensive’

The attack started the early morning of 16 August the British soldiers started their attack in Livno, fortunately for them the garrison in Livno had decreased in strength because the Austria-Hungarian army was gathering divisions and soldiers to their coming offensive around Foca. The enemy had mobilised the 10. Kavallerietruppendivisionen to defend Livno, the division consisted of 12 000 soldiers with an attached hussar brigade. When the British expeditionary force smashed into their defence they made an brave stand against the British overwhelming force. If that wasn’t enough the cavalry division didn’t have so much firepower like an ordinary infantry had, they used their ability to make some fast flank attacks but after two days of fighting they were exhausted and retreated the province of Livno. 10. Kavallerietruppendivisionen had lost 3 000 soldiers and the British approx. 1 900 soldiers. IV. Corps meet no resistance and could secure the coast province of Split in mid august. The offensive was an successes. But one thing was worrying, the large Austria-Hungarian army concentration in Sarajevo, the numbers had grown and now the garrison consisted of 96 000 soldiers and some artillery brigades. The news that Serbia had made an successful offensive wasn’t a big issue for the Entente or the Central Powers.

All their focus was on France and battles in the outskirts of Paris...

I fear a separate peace with France, then Russia will be a simple match for Germany and Austria-Hungary. But there is hope after USA joined the war on our side, I hope they will send some troops to France or to the north German coast.
