Solo Empires & Alliances October 1914 Turn

Image
This was a bloody turn! The Germans lost 6 Inf and 2 Art XXX, the Austrians 1 Cav and 3 Inf XXX. The Allies lost the remainder of the Belgian Army (2 Inf XX and the Cav XX), and 2 French Inf XXX in the West. In the East the Russians lost 3 Inf XXX, a Cav XXX and Art XXX, while the Serbs lost 4 Inf XX, the Cav XX, and an Art XX. A lot of difficult decisions, and some interesting rules conundrums. THE WESTERN FRONT The September Allied turn saw the BEF safely evacuated from Ghent to Calais. In October, with the rains beginning (Mud) the Germans finally eliminated the last of Belgian resistance, completing their conquest of the country according to game rules. They also pushed their lines up to the French, and then took a very risky 2.8:1 attack on a pair of French corps in hex 2554. They scored a HX blasting a hole in the French lines 2 hexes ENE of Paris! The Allies were forced to respond to this and another hole in the southern part of the massive German sa...

Solo Empires & Alliances, March 1915 Turn

The snows returned, hindering German plans. WESTERN FRONT Central Powers turn The Germans were 1 RP away from replacing every single loss from March. They restored 6 Infantry corps, sending the two strongest to the West. Unfortunately the snow reduced the mobility of those units making them unable to get to the frontlines at Verdun (4MP reduced to 2, 1MP to entrain, 1MP to detrain, cannot use rail movement in enemy ZOC so can't rail to the needed hex). Instead the high command decided to activate two cavalry corps in Belgium from garrison duty and move them to the front to participate in the attack, replacing them with the infantry corps. The attack was a success, with the two French corps defending Verdun eliminated, while the Germans lost the two Cavalry Corps in exchange. Allied turn The French, again felt obligated to respond. They reformed three infantry corps, and were able to pull three more corps plus an artillery unit out of the line as the British moved...

Solo Empires & Alliances December 1914

The end of the year has come, and with it the realization of of so many broken promises. "It's just a punitive expedition, to get the Serbs to stop supporting terrorism." "We just need to pass through your country for a little while to deal with the French, we're not here to stay." "It's just a continental war, we don't need to get involved." "Elan will see us through, they have no weapons to counter our spirit." "We will restore lost lands and redeem our national honor." "We will finally be accorded the respect we deserve." "We'll be home before the leaves fall." December saw the advent of snow in the East, and continuation of mud in the West. Three of the battles from November continued this turn, along with one new one. The entrenchment markers make it difficult to see which nationality the stacks are, so I've drawn a line between the Allies and Central Powers marking the fr...
