Second Reich update

I thought only the French were capable of a military defeat that disastorous. The Hapsburg family is shocked at the German War Ministry!

[Scott F]

The German Supreme Command has dismissed the Russian counteroffensive as "weak and insignificant." The losses were overall neglible and precautions are now underway to prevent them from being repeated. The monthly production of ten new artillery brigades and ten new infantry divisions is more than sufficient to replace any minor losses on the Eastern Front and continue to sustain the anticipated pace of the advance upon Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

I wonder where you got that Idea

Unfortunately he is right. I just got lucky here and bought myself some time. I hope the Allies give Germany a little harder time soon so that her industry cannot focus so strongly on Russia.

All Quiet

BTW Russia should run the batch file at the end of the turn.

[Darius871]

What do you mean? Before I Ctrl-n, before I save it, after I save it?

[The ANZAC]

Actually you don't need to run it yet. But when you do here are the steps:

save it as sr.sav | Run the batch file for appropriate time-period (ie 1917-18 vs 1914-1916) | Reload sr.sav and sav again as whatever name you want and pass it on.

[MagyarCrusader]

Theres no need to run the batch file until the end of 1916. And at our pace... we won't be there for another 2 years.

*usual request for file to be sent via email*

[The ANZAC]

Sent.

Magyar: actually the game is picking up now since we have all the players. I can see reaching 1916 for not too long.

[MagyarCrusader]

I hope so. I waiting for the time when Romania joins the war... We Hungarians have plans for our envious Wallachian neighbors.

Volkischer Beobachter - December 1914

All of Germany is now aglow with news of yet more great triumphs from the Eastern Front. Coming quickly on the heels of a Russian offensive that resulted in only a minor setback, the Supreme Command has executed a devastating military offensive, capturing Grodno, Riga, and Vilnius in a series of swift and powerful offensives. The rapid advance of German troops threatens to cut off the rump of Russian Poland from the rest of Russia and to enable a drive to Saint Petersburg itself in the Spring. Crowds filled the Berlin streets to cheer the news, in hopes that the Russians would soon be forced from the war, enabling the matter of France to be settled once and for all.

Austrian troops continue to inch their way towards Lemberg, finally reaching the outskirts... Victory is assured, but will the city survive?

[Darius871]

As Russia doesn’t have the technology necessary to build fortifications for the city, our forces have withdrawn to a line at Zhitomir which they hope to hold.

It seems the Austrians called my bluff. In fact Lemburg was filled to the brim with offensive units, and they were used to annihilate 13 Austrian divisions that had gathered outside Lemburg.

In the north, Russian commanders laugh at the boasts of the kaiser. Although no Russian counteroffensive is forthcoming, it is certain that the Germans have no capability to grind through the miles to St. Petersburg. However, while the situation in Poland and Lithuania isn't dire in the least, it is far more stressing to the czar that hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of shields of Russian production were wasted when the loss of the cities caused the AI to step in.

I guess I just have to accept that as long as I'm losing cities I can't build anything. And this is the case because every time a city is lost, almost every city starts building a goddam silo. The only thing I can do is either not build anything, or build what the AI wants so that all it will have to build is the Raw Materials improvements and military units I had wanted.

Now who's capable of defeats on a French level, eh?

*gabs MC*

And to be blunt, the only thing standing between the German Army and Saint Petersburg is the lack of railroads, a problem which will soon be solved.
