i only play with those rules. They are great.
Nice mate.
What are you finding the CP need for a bid?
Are you playing with the time limit?
Who Will You Play as?

I would want to say the Glorious Imperial Russia, but I have a feeling they’ll be a faction that is doomed to be…well…doomed. From a gameplay perspective I think Austria will be one of the funnest, a pretty important role in keeping Germany alive. After all, it was the collapse of the old Empire was the biggest death blow to Germany.
-
The principle task of Russia will be to lure Germany and Austria further into Russia, and so further away from where they can be of any use where the war is really decided.

The war will be done by Christmas that way
“The war will be over by Christmas” is a wish that many soldiers (especially the poor infantrymen who are stuck at the front) have been expressing for a very long time. I think it was an especially common sentiment in the fall of 1914 and (on the Anglo-American side) in the fall of 1944. I think that Montgomery’s Market-Garden operation was conceived in part as a means of ending WWII (in Europe) by Christmas 1944.

Austria for me. Vienna was the best place I have ever been to, and there is so much left from the Empire it’s hard not to get a little nostalgic.
-
I voted for Germany only because my buddies will be to afraid to play them. I do think Austria might be the darkhorse(if they are one) to play in this game. Great Britain may be the funnest to play for the Allies. Italy I believe will be the worst. We shall see.

WWI was always about Deutschland. And so Deustcheland it will be!
Deutschland! Deutschland! Uber Alles!
-
Ottomans will be interesting.
-
With that attitude, you’ll get stranded in Russia while the Yanks are fooling around in and around the back alleys of Paris. What a sucker.

Germany’s misfortune or fortune in terms of being capable of winning will be determined by the playtesting, just like it would have been if there were rail movement.
It sucks that the game is without rail movement, but that has nothing inherently to do with balance.
Let’s say that there were rail movement in the game, and the playtesting overestimated how much that actually helps Germany. Germany would be screwed then too, just like if playtesting didn’t take into account that Germany has a long way between Moscow and Paris.
Rail movement’s absence sucks for flavor reasons, but please realize that the absence doesn’t doom Germany.
-
No, but I think it pretty much dooms the Paris-Moscow strategy.
I will try the Swiss Roll/Ostwall approach with the CPs, and let other get stranded in Moscow.
