Yes, it's ahistorical and compromises the campaign's realism.

Give them more time, but end it if it goes on for a long time.

Now the russians gained the upper hand in Manchuria and are advancing towards Port Arthur (Lushun).

Things aren't going so well in China, maybe the chinese have more backbone than I expected, they defeated the russian forces at the gates of Beijing and forced the russians to retreat to Jirim.

[ATTACH]27726[/ATTACH]

Things got so ugly that the russians decreed a partial mobilization.

[ATTACH]27725[/ATTACH]

The battle of Port Arthur continues undecided

[ATTACH]27727[/ATTACH]

I feel tempted to intervene but I'm not going to break my alliance with Russia because of China, although we all know that our alliance with Russia isn't going to last for long, I don't want to speed things up, a war with Russia can wait, furthermore a weakened China means a very good oportunity for business.

One of the screenshots, in Bishkek, shows a bear... so I guess you are in the right spot! :w00t:

This war is a nice opportunity for "involvement". But do you have a casus belli against the Russians? Are you planning to create one in roleplaying? Well, theoretically you should stay put given that it was Russia that declared war on China. Btw, the 80s China is supposed to be much more stable than the one in the 50s, the Taiping War must be over and the country relatively united. I expect them to be able to bounce the Russians in many instances, unless the Russians manage to bring in troops from Europe.

At the end of winter the front stabilized with the chinese victory at Port Arthur and the russian defeat in Beijing.

[ATTACH]27729[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH]27730[/ATTACH]

With Spring coming I think the russians will resume offensive operations towards Port Arthur and Beijing. As they begin spring in control of Mukden and Jirim, I think their chances ares good.

Now I'm curious as to where the bear is haha...I don't have a cb against Russia, they're our allies after all, and we have a 100 relation with them, it dropped a little with the beginning of the Pangermanismus, but they requested an audience and the "problem" was "solved". (I'm almost always roleplaying here haha...)by the way my general staff consider Warsaw und Riga as Objectives, so I feel an increasing internal pressure with the growing of the pangermanic movement inside our empire.

Just have to state that it's very easy to forge a casus beli with Bismarck still in office hahaha...we need more space to breath, Riga belongs to us!

Spring comes and...the chinese are counter-attacking in Jirim, but the russians still hold Mukden.

[ATTACH]27731[/ATTACH]

And Russia begins the season with an offensive in Korea.

[ATTACH]27732[/ATTACH]

General Mikhail Annenkov is preparing an offensive against the chinese, we guess his aim remains Port Arthur.

in my game I had a Sino-Russian war that saw massive reversals of fortune, I think the Russians took Beijing but it ended with the Chinese on Lake Baikal

your Berlin problem is the unit has no-where to go, one for a script, pop this into a basic script:

SelectFaction = $GER
StartEvent = evt_nam_Russian withdrawal from Berlin|1|1|Null|Null|$Brandenburg|NULL


Actions
SelectSubUnits = Region $Brandenburg;FactionTags RUS
AlterCuSubUnit = ApplyToList;Move $Petersburg

EndEvent


If you want to leave that Russian army in the West then send it to Warsaw or Minsk instead (maybe more fun and realistic if you are plotting a war)

Thank you very much Loki! I think they should really go to Petersburg and then maybe to the east, but I don't intend to stab the russians on the back, it's not honorable! As I said before, our war can wait...

I placed the event in the Ger events file and it didn't work, so changed to CMN and placed it in the Rus file and I'll see what happens next turn.

[ATTACH]27756[/ATTACH]

It seems the russians decided to land some troops in Port Arthur, they took Port Arthur and are advancing to meet the 5th russian army at Mukden.

not sure why the event is not working, Kensai might have some ideas.

if it failed once, best to change the name (just add a 1 after the title) as its possible the game engine thinks it has fired

but as you say, the Russian army does like occupying Berlin

I had a meeting with Franz Joseph to discuss the current situation in Europe after we decided it was not desirable to have the russians in our alliance. I told him that I'm not happy with the russian attitude and that we need to strenghthen our ties in order to face the new challenges that might arise within the continent. He insisted that the italians are not trustable, and that they have no real commitment to our alliance and they still desire to take from his crown territories that are rightfully austrians, he even told me that Italy is just waiting for a good oportunity to do so..
