The Berlin plan is probably the best in terms of activated areas, but I'd be prepared to abandon the Polish salient west of Warsaw if the CP player attempts to cut it off in a massive pincers movement. Austria is the weak link, as others have suggested - it's relatively easy to outflank advances on the Galician front, and if they throw their whole weight against Russia, the Serbians can even go on the offensive. Against a human opponent, I'd play my cards close to my chest against Germany, bearing in mind that that nasty Hoffman decision can be played against any Russian army on German soil, but try to keep a large reserve on hand to unhinge any German advance from East Prussia, should the opportunity present itself.
