This is developing into a really exciting game.

Yes, it can feel like a waste to buy anything but the best, but garrison units come in very handy when you're on the back foot.

For example, you have a near solid line of infantry units in the north of the eastern front. At least half of those units could be garrisons, and you would be holding the line. That would save precious PPs that you could use to build infantry units to counter attack against their breakthrough.


A very delicate balance to purchasing garrison and infantry formations indeed.

Infantry are sooo much more expensive, but having that unit that you KNOW can attack and get you out of a hole is a good feeling....

Western Front: Liege falls, once again I didn't think the AI would do it but it does! I stupidly counter attack and put 2 infantry formations in a position where they will be destroyed. I placed a Garrison and Infantry unit to the east of Liege to block future expansions. I also placed 2 new Inf. by the Alps to protect that region.

Eastern Front: Russians come at me again and destroy a weakened AH Inf. I counter attack and destroy a Russian Inf.

Italian Front: I managed to destroy a full strength enemy Inf. unit and advance some. My AH Battleship group is sunk and I decided to sail my Cruiser force for a last stand battle. Vienna is bombed again.

Middle East Front: British attacks are slowly wearing down Turks, I may loose a unit there next turn.

Western Front: Quite, I pulled back to a better line. Bombed Paris for no damage

Eastern Front: Russians pull back some, but still take Krakow. I batter those isolated forces but put my infantry units in a bad state, ripe for counter attacks.

Italian Front: AH finally gets upper hand and goes on offensive! I battered 2 enemy formations good.

Middle East Front: Brits finally blow this theater apart, destroying a Turk infantry unit and wasting 2 more that will be destroyed next turn.

Anti Air technology comes to fruit, and next few turns should gave some more come online. I have a badly need convoy arriving next turn .

Western Front: I just conducted a few spoiling attacks that looked like good odds. Bomb Paris for a point! Buy Garrison units is finally starting to pay off. I feel better that I got some cushion to help out....why didn't I do this earlier!!!

Eastern Front: Quite, just had some replacements in prep for taking Krakow. Why is it isolated units can get replacements? How is this possible? Granted its in a city but its a occupied city, not a native one.

Italian Front: For some reason, the AI sent a fighter and artillery unit to the front lines!?! I destroyed the fighter...a pretty penny killed Mwahahahaha!!! And battered the artillery. The offensive goes well and I should be in good position come winter.

Middle Eastern Front: Jerusalem falls and so do 3 of my Turkish units. I did have some new arrivals to help stem that disaster but I'm going to loose 2 more units next turn. The Turks are out of the war I'm afraid.

Bombers came online for AH, but there 60 PP's !!! They should be at least 50-55 IMO. Convoy is safe and unloading.

So while expensive, these units really pay off over a longer period if you manage to get a few.

Western Front: Spoiling attacks only made by me. Paris bombed again and will be every turn till its rubble!

Eastern Front: Okay, the idea of having garrison forces is starting to pay off. I'm slowly getting my front covered again. I'm going to alternate between infantry and garrison units.

Italian Front: Beat down French arty to 1 pt and repaired for the offensive to continue next turn.

Middle East Front: Lost cause here. I'm holding the line at Beirut and Damascus with Garrison forces.

I forgot to mention a few turns ago that Germany has taken a 10% production hit because of MP's used. As you see there are a lot of new technologies coming out very soon! I'm saving my PP's to upgrade. Come on convoy...I need a new one now!!!

Western Front: I make some spoiling attacks and relocate my airship farther south to bomb the Italians if need be.

Eastern Front: My convoy is hit by subs and is left with 1 pt. This is a major blow to Germany being I only get 8 PP's per turn now without the convoy. Quite on the ground side of things.

Italian Front: Italians beat down 1 AH Inf. to strength 5 and I combine attack to beat down a garrison force.

Middle East Front: Quite

Great news, Bulgaria enters the war on my side! Bad news, AH takes another production hit for MP losses! I'm sending 1 Bulgarian Inf. unit to help the Turks...oh and I can rail stuff from Europe to Turkey! I bought 1 garrison unit and a Infantry unit for the Bulgs. I bought a fighter for AH to help stop the enemy airship attacks.

Major concern of mine is AH morale health. It didn't climb when Serbia was liberated but it sure took a dive when the fleet was lost!

Eastern Front: Russian units push westward some more...I can't counter

Italian Front: fighting all along the lines I believe I got the better end of the deal, but I have no clue on how many units are behind their lines. I brought in Germany's armed fighter to protect my troops from bombers. AH fighter was deployed to scout for the Bulgarians.

Middle East Front: Lost a unit but so did the bloody Brits!

Italian Front: Destroyed a Italian Inf formation and made some progress forward.

Middle East Front: Stable but if the Brits launch another full scale assault units will crumble since most are fatigued.

I'm keeping my stockpile of PP's for Germany as high as I can since I'm basically breaking even with PP's without the convoys.

Italian Front: Italy pokes a garrison unit, I think it was, into a hole and attacks my artillery unit. I relocated both air and arty to prevent it from happening again.

Here is a overall pic of the situation. Its still quite in the west and for the most part the east. Minor clashes in the northern sector in the east, in the south I've lost a 4pt Bulgarian infantry unit. I've managed to cut off another Romanian unit. I've fortified a line in the north in the Middle East by Aleppo. Time will if it holds...HAHAH...right.

I'm not really sure what your strategy should be, but one option would be to try for a major offensive in Romania. Push hard and deep, try to outflank and encircle your enemy. Romania itself isn't the objective here, trying to induce the Russian revolution is. If you can free up the Eastern front, you can do your own Kaiserschlacht
