Just bought the game and since I had already had two opponents off the club vanished on me ( should have known better than to take on anybody outside ... )in the TOAW III 3.4 Falotti's the Great War 1914 - 1918 scenario, I decided to change the title and the recruitment area.
For some reason I'd like to play as the Entente Cordiale side ( perhaps it's because I speak little French like merde! sacre bleu! debrouillez vous pour la Patrie and vive la France! so I should make a good EC opponent ... ) , but actually feel fine with either( zum Teufel! Donnerwetter! ). Prefer to start with something small and short like Mons battlegrounds etc. to get a feeling for the ground and sniff some cordite before embarking on a more ambitious campaign - besides I am having my hands full already and it will take some time to shake it off.
Have a look at the attached file to see the optional rules I promote; virtually everything to be negotiated prior to launching any scenario though.
