Black Sea: Captured the Russian port of Odessa and Rostov city. From Rostov there is no returning to the sea, there are other nearby cities that could be within reach of the OE AC. At Odessa there are opportunities to go inland or sail out, here I was hoping the OE cruiser would provide full supply, but as you can see in the prior post that cruiser is best used at Izmir. No doubt that the Russians will do counter measures to recaptured these cities..

Erzurum:

Yeah, the line is holding here, but can do nothing to stop the rampaging Russian units chewing up the southern portion of the Empire.[:(]

Damascus:

Disbanded the OE artillery in white circle for 2 reasons; one because it was near useless against the English, two OE is "broke" disbanding the artillery reduced upkeep cost and recouped about 18 PP, which was desperately needed to repair other units. Besides that continuing the slow march to Aleppo.

Baghdad Fallen Event: Means a -10 NM to OE (currently at 40 NM) about a 20 NM drop from 2 turns ago. OE is suffering from not being able to meet upkeep requirements, it get's worse from here on.[:(][X(]

First off it means -5 NM to Russia also a PP source is lost from Russia. The event pops up during game play, which will be detailed in another SS.

Baltic:

For some reason the Russians did not protect Tallinn, so right away disembarked into the city and captured the port. An English sub was forced to retreat out of the port to the east. Moved one of my German subs hoping to go on the attack and spied the Russian balloon stationed in Helsinki, I'm pretty sure I bombed it with my Danzig zep, if not this turn, it will get bombed next turn. Maneuvered the main fleet to prevent any enemy subs from getting in to the Helsinki port or from going west into the Baltic itself. For now the German garrison in Tallinn can only be at full supply is with a surface fleet. Up north the English sub fleets did go on the attack, so I counter attacked this turn. In hindsight I should of attacked last turn there, instead had hoped my opponent was going to make a mistake.. Down by Koenigsberg 3 new English sub fleets attacked my dreadnaught and sub fleet there, figured I'd counter-attack them to weaken them before they could go after the main fleet (hopefully my fleets survive and make it back to port).. WOW! That's a lot of English sub fleets for this region.![X(] Have to be carful not falling into sub traps..

Belgium:

The grind continues here with small set up battles, what you don't see is the Entente airpower, it's only seen in replay and used in concentration on fixed positions. German fighters have reduced the French artillery to where it is less effective now and these fighters also work on the French infantry morale too. As long as the German reserves stay in good shape I should hold out here for quite a while.

Italy:

Was able to kill off the Italian general and supporting unit with the help of German artillery. Finished off what remained of the other Italian infantry then advanced to make contact with 3 sides of Florence, AH needs additional reserves to completely dominate this city for capture. The fighting has been non-stop the last 3 turns and it starting to show in many unit"s morale, it's a necessity to try and stay on the initiative before the enemy can fortify and counter attack with strength, so I kept on pushing this turn trying to knock out the French who are in worse shape than CP. Using air power to keep the English infantry from readiness to do battle. Some of my units are getting repaired or upgraded with AA like the garrison over at Zagreb before entering the battle. My immediate goal here is to secure the entire rail-line from Milan to Florence and hopefully those cities also, once that is done I'll just anchor the line there and proceed towards Rome with whatever units are left. I'm not going to go after Genoa and Turin, that's too much of a stretch, the money is in ROME..!![;)]

Eastern Mediterranean:

Feeling good with the Izmir campaign, however the job is not done in spite of having sunk both the French and English pre-dreadnaughts cutting off supply to their infantry. While I was busy there I guess the Russians figured they could land a ground unit by Constantinople unnoticed, well they got caught and paid the price, will have to wait and see if the OE cruiser is able to finish the job.[8D] An Italian class I sub fleet got blown to bits after attacking the AH cruiser, guess he did not realize I had a AH class II sub there and sub killing balloon corp.[:)] Managed to 1 sub upgraded and repaired at Cattaro and another sub repaired at Izmir port while the German raider shelled the hapless English infantry. An OE AC deployed at Bursa intended to help the beleaguered Izmir SG. I may have said before: When pre-dreadnaughts and armored cruisers are sunk they cannot be replaced from the queue.[:-]

Dear Herr Baron Munchausen maybe I'll write a mod where Great Briton does not enter the war, nor does the Ottoman Empire, or the novel idea of not going through Belgium, or whatever shirt is in vogue at the time.[;)]

Black Sea: These 2 units are getting the status of being "magnets". Meaning they are going to attract attention from units that otherwise would be at the Eastern Front or elsewhere. Could say a diversion. As soon as the Russian transport is dealt with The OE cruiser will sail to Odessa to get the AH garrison there full supply. ATM the OE AC at Rostov is being written off, OE in general is "flat broke" can not repair anything except SGs which cost nothing to repair.

Eastern Front:

Not taking any chances with a failed assault on Brest-Litovsk. Began the assault with dual CP artilleries pounding the fort with shell and poison gas, before the defenders could recover hit them with 2 fighter squadrons demoralizing them even further, the dazed and confused defenders were then swarmed with CP infantry killing them down to the last man, took no prisoners. German cav then swept in to seal the capture of the fort and attacked Russian reserves. All toll only had 3 casualties. This is when the Brest-Litovsk captured event flashed..!![:D] This fort gives CP a railhead and removes a Russian front line place of deployment..[8D] ATM thinking about flattening the Russian line to were it would be way into the Pripet Swamps, then heading north to Vilna, clearing the rail-line as the army deploys. Many AH units are upgrading with AA. Maneuvered an AH garrison to Krakow destined for the Italian front. My opponent has given me hints that Russia is near collapse, by all means I am not going to let him off the hook, then again it could be false information, the Russians have a reputation for being deceitful.

Erzurum:

OE is fairly well fortified by this city with a front that the Russians are having a problem with penetrating. Mosul is in trouble and there is virtually nothing I can do about it, except fight to the death. The real important capital city of Baghdad has been taken by the infidels the eaters of dogs and pigs. Allah Is Great..!![:D] You will see movement down by Beirut, that will be covered in the next SS. I'm curious as to what fleet or fleets are supplying the English cav by Adana?

Man, the OE troops here can not get out of this region quick enough..! The last unit in the city is going to have to fight to the death so that others can try to escape over the mountains for the English infantry is blocking the faster coastal road, it's a trail of tears for the OE..[:(]
