I'm posting this in an attempt to learn something from the game aside from dealing with pointlessness and frustration. So, here goes.
It's been a thorough and rough humiliation from the first couple of turns. A montenegro gambit with the collapse of Serbia, Montenegro and Albania by december 1914, followed by denial of italy and thus the establishment of a "force field" that protects Germany from direct attack other than by DoW of minors in the Low countries or Italy. Also of course the narrow front vs France.
Through various nasty and effective tricks such as mine placement and early blockade of the canada port that sends the convoy british income was very low for far too long, and greece was attacked and slaughtered by insurmountable forces early.
Somehow my opponent has kept up relentless agression throughout the game, never giving me room to tech or regain my footing.
Despite having had 60% chance per turn of swaying belgium diplomatically for a long time it has moved only very little, stuck at 33% for a while now. My opponent has not bothered to counter the diplomacy.
Once Russia was completely neutered by the slaughter of its armies and fall of it's NM to very low, my opponent simply switched fronts and is now mowing through the narrow gap in France supported by 4-5 artillery pieces, superior inf tech and mobility tech.
What the hell to do? Lots I could have done earlier I suppose, like retreat sooner, know all the nasty tricks and how to counter them etc, but that's all moot.
How do you counter mass artillery on a narrow front like this? What to do -now- aside from just watching and losing?
