Koenigsberg looks safe in Russian hands town,s name being changed to new Petersburg. As for my Italians well they are having a hard fight in the mountains to their north.

It is indeed a hard but very enjoyable fight (only another 220+ furns to go !) 
RE: The Great War 1914 -1918 - Bidermann - 11-30-2007 I am starting to get a good feel of what high command had to contend with . The big problem is breaking the trench line with out loosing thousands of men, but if you do break the line a small bit the troops breaking through cant push on . where are my tanks !! lol RE: The Great War 1914 -1918 - Antoni Chmielowski - 11-30-2007 Bidermann (FGM) Wrote:I am starting to get a good feel of what high command had to contend with .

Just you wait till I get my stosstruppen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormtrooper Oh sorry still got to wait awhile !:mad: RE: The Great War 1914 -1918 - jonnymacbrown - 11-30-2007 As I recall, Stosstruppen emerged first on the eastern front, sometime in 1917. von ege :smoke: RE: The Great War 1914 -1918 - Bidermann - 11-30-2007 Prinz von Egan Wrote:As I recall, Stosstruppen emerged first on the eastern front, sometime in 1917.1917 the war will over by then. 
RE: The Great War 1914 -1918 - jonnymacbrown - 11-30-2007 Well I'm sure the game reflects the problems the Russians will have in maintaining large armies after 1916. The military dictators H&L only need to hold on till then methinks. von ege :whis: RE: The Great War 1914 -1918 - Bidermann - 12-01-2007 Yes supply is a problem. RE: The Great War 1914 -1918 - jonnymacbrown - 12-01-2007 Stosstruppen, or infiltration tactics (also called Hutier tactics after the general first made successful use of them) were first used on a large scale in September 1917 breaking the siege of Riga. Large Stosstruppen units were used in the German spring offensive in 1918. So the Central Powers have some time to wait. von ege :smoke: RE: The Great War 1914 -1918 - Bidermann - 12-09-2007 July 1915 East Prussia has fallen to the Armies of the Tsar, Armies now pushing foward into Germany. My poor French are just about holding the line under great pressure, and Ypes has changed hands a few times as the British armies counter attacks and then gets bounced back. Its been a bloody year of war. |
