And so it begins.

The Serbian Enemy can only slap Austro-Hungary in the face with so many various sausages until War is declared.

Without further ado, the Austro-Hungarian Empire declares war.

I attack the Serb Garrison, but do not destroy them....Curses!

Warspite will be cock-a-hoop!![:(]

Turn 1 – 23rd July 1914

Cock-a-hoop indeed sir!!

However, there is nowhere for the Garrison to go, and I order it to manfully stands and awaits its certain end….

Meanwhile, my Belgrade Infantry take a pot shot at the AH Garrison that has strayed too close, and in best Beano and Dandy styleee, Field Marshal Putnik clenches his fist and shouts across the trench line "Grrr, take that you rotter".

Turn 3 – 6th August 1914

...and the answer is? Er both... the sneaky Empire keeps Infantry near Sarajevo and moves another east of Belgrade. The latter, along with two Garrison units, seemingly head for Nis.

Meanwhile, Liege falls to the German Army and the Boche are now threatening Brussels.

Antwerps position is hopeless.

The important element with Antwerp is to ensure no elements of the BEF can land in it or in its environs, thus securing the northern flank from British interference.

Yes, my valiant Serbs try the "lets paint a red ring around our position" technique. Text book.

It was a well known tactic to paint red rings around units to make them invulnerable.

The game becomes more and more exciting!!

Antwerp succumbs to a massive combined Artillery and Infantry assault.

Image



Meanwhile, panic grips France as the German steamroller advances.

Image

In the South, the Serbs desperately try to throw the Austro-Hungarian Empire by advancing on Budapest!!![X(]
( marked by the arrow )

Canny Warspite tries to upset the AH timetable...will he pull it off, or will he be left with just a limp?

Image

Lemberg is repeatedly assaulted, but somehow manages to hold out.....relief is not far away ( I hope )

Turn 9:-

The French try to stem the German advance....


Image

After a couple of hair raising turns around Lemberg ( in which Warspite blew two of my Garrisons to pieces, and cut off Lemberg from the rest of the Empire ), I manage to stabilize the front with the arrival of much needed German reinforcements. Phew!![X(]

Warspite, I think you're too quick to give up entrenched positions in the West. For example, in post no 16, I can understand abandoning the hexes nearest Verdun, but why fall back from the three hexes close to the Swiss border?
