All Siamese units have been destroyed, my war score is 100, and every area is garrisoned by mobile units and at 100 MC. The above situation has been in effect for several game years. Siam has offered a peac...

I cut my teeth on AH's 1914 game, then moved on to SPI games. followed by ancient miniatures.

Light cruisers and destroyers can escort merchant ships and hunt U-boots.

What about torpedo boats? Are they of any use in undersea warfare?

After many hours of trying to play this game, I'm wondering if it is worth it. My beefs: 1) . If the Germans choose the Moltke Plan, they can repel the French and British with a minimal force, throwing every man jack against the Russians. They don't sweat it in the least. 2).

Re: Confederate Inflation

Just as a side note,

Ageod's CW2 massively under represents the historical CSA's rate of inflation.

However, I didn't get an answer to my question about the duration of the event. I was at about 13% I think. Will it go back to 13% after the event is done?
