Well, if the mountains will fall quickly India is doomed.... although advancing far into India is really troublesome.

The AI has set spheres of influence, but unfortunately it doesn't do anything if you get in those spheres as well (like with Persia and Afghanistan) And now I've to fight the entire British Empire as just Britain. It also allows me to annex the Indian minors should the oppertunity arise.
Ahura Mazda said:So here it comes...
Britain will get about 4-6 divisions in Kandahar and Kabul, so any advance will have the risk of encirclement. I just hope that my divisions from Siberia arrive in time.

Their navy is about 4 times my size. I'll be able to take them on land, but the seas will be the domain of the British.
Well, just keep defences where they like to land - petersburg, sevastopol, that kind of thing.
Mmm, I presume this is going to mean you having to defend against lots of annoying amphibious operations then?
Kurt_Steiner said:Don't fight them at sea, then
That would be a logical conclusion, but to establish a Russian presence in the Meditterranean we need to at least get some islands from the Brits. Also we need to sink a large amount of transport ships.
RGB said:
I'll mod the British AI a bit to prevent landings in Sevastopol, as I currently control the access to the Black Sea the British shouldn't be able to land there (IMO)
stnylan said:
Not only that, but we also have to fight in the Middle East. British landings will focus on my Meditterranean base first, and from what I've seen during the Great War, the British can sent up to 25 divisions to land somewhere

Indeed, so it begins.

o Yes it will. Study took away a lot of free time... this week I'll have an update ready.
So...........
What happened to the big, bad, exciting war with Britain? You can't start an epic war and then just wander away. That's just not right.

The Anglo-Russian War
The Indian Front
The declaration of war didn’t come as a surprise, but the British defenses in India and Afghanistan had been ill-prepared and they were pushed back rapidly. Within a year, the Russians had pushed the British and Indian forces out of the Punjab area. The British satellite states of Kalat and Kashmir had collapsed under the weight of the Russian armies.
Russian forces were cutting through the Indian lines at an alarming rate and the immenent collapse of Jaipur forced the British and her Indian allies to gather all available troops to combat the Russian threat to Delhi. As if a miracle had happened, the Russians suffered a string of defeats in Jaipur and the British responded by a counter attack near the Punjabi city of Lahore. Within 3 months the Russians had lost 2 armies and the control over Jaipur and the defensive lines in the northern regions were breaking.
A renewed offensive by the Russians in July broke the Indian principality of Beroda, and Jaipur followed rapidly. A combined Anglo-Canadian-Indian offensive in the Punjab had pushed far into Russian occupied territory, but with the collapse of Jaipur the offensive was under threat. With the fall of Panipat in September 1922 the Allied offensive had died out and now faced a possible encirclement. The fall of Ludhiana confirmed the collapse of the Allied offensive, as more as 15 British, Canadian and Indian divisions were now encircled by the Russians. The destruction of the Allied army was the last action of the Anglo-Russian war in India.
The European Front
Shortly after the start of the Anglo-Russian war it became clear that it wouldn’t be a conflict limited to Central Asia. The First Battle of Simferpol would be a sign of the British ability to strike anywere. Despite the Russian victory during the battles of Simferpol, the British would continue to harass the Black Sea coast. Their successes would remain limited to the capture of several cities as Kerch, Odessa and Sevastopol.
Australia and New Zealand tried to clear the Russians from Gallipoli and thus securing a safe passage into the Black Sea. A total of 5 attempts was made by the Anzac forces, but fierce Russian resistance as well as artillery supriority, saw all attempts being crushed in a matter of hours.
The biggest threat came from the Canadian forces, as in November they launched a daring assault on Petrograd. Immediately Russian troops were sent from Poland to the capital and the Russian Baltic Fleet set sail from Riga to intercept possible allied ships. In December 1921, the Russian Fleet engaged the British Grand Fleet in the Gulf of Finland. A short naval skirmish took place, in which the Russians lost a pre-dreadnought and several ships took severe damage, while the British lost 2 submarines and several surface ships were damaged. Despite naval bombardments and superior tactics, the Canadian forces in Petrograd were outnumbered 5 to 1 and before the end of 1921, the Canadians surrendered.
The Anglo-Russian War ended on the 23rd of June, 1923, after two years of fighting. The British had lost Afghanistan, Kashmir, Baluchistan and Jaipur to the Russians, but retained nominal control over the Punjab and Sind. The war, despite being won, would cause great upheaval in the Russian Empire. Communist uprisings took place in Poland, while the Czechs and Bulgarians were revolting against, as they perceived it, the Russian oppressor. Even in Central Asia unrest against Russian rule was rising, Nicholas II however, managed to suppress the revolts and maintain the charade of a stable nation.

Finally an update...
Ok, so you got the other half of afganistan + those 2 provinces in the south and 3 satellites, right? Well, I think another war is more or less unavoidable, probably some other world war...
How is Germany doing, are they recovering fast?

Two of my new satellites are not connected to Russia, in hind sight I should have made a bigger push into India and demand Punjab and Sind as well.
Germany is slowly recovering. Their military is small (about 30 divs IIRC) and their economy is drained by the large amount of loans (as well as losing 500,000 a year to Belgium, France and Britain)
Prinz Wilhelm said:Good job! Was the british military presence in Crimea too big for you to handle?
Well, when I tried to take the ports, they had about 1 division, but when I actually attacked they had 6-9 divisions there. Fortunately they didn't break through at Melitopol.

I doubt he would be happy to see Germany in it's current condition
