Re: Points to Know - Central Powers

Stay inactive on the Caucasus front. Why poke a sleeping bear? Large Russian forces locked here will be released by your attack, also terrain, weather, and supply can be major issues. Aren't the Russian Caucasus forces simply locked until the Ottomans join the war, and then released immediately or ...

Re: Blocking river crossing

Here's what I've dug up: Four naval elements have a 90% chance to block cross river movement; you can't get higher than this value; a single friendly fighting ship/boat in the river region will negates this. Blocking a river crossing is a 23% chance per element, up to a max of 90%. The ships can't b...

Ka Boom versus Pop Pop

When using a force that has enough 12 pounders elements in artillery divisions to completely fill the support line, does it make sense to remove all the 6 pounders possible from the same force? And if this is the case, disregarding building forts and entrenchments, what is the best combat use for 6 ...

Re: A Case for Using Only Pea Shooters

When placing the mouse arrow over an area and pressing 7, the text at the bottom of the tool tip states: Frontage Width (in points) Line O:48 – D:48 Support O:48 – D:48 Does this mean that up to a total of 48 line units and 48 support units can be counted in a battle?

While playing around with the Terrain Overlay, click on a stack then tap number 7, I was shocked to see that range in mountains was not the normal 99 it is in all other areas, but rather a tiny 4. I gather that this means, long distant fire is almost nil in the mountains, and that any medium and hea...

Push to get Russian NM below 75: 2 nasty decisions will then apply. The Tsar takes command resulting in a bad GHQ and worse, Rasputin comes resulting in more loss of more NM and increased chance of Rebellion.
