This is because in addition to the advantages of the extra research/building/construction/training time that comes naturally, there is the benefit of the Great Big Turk and how the early game is (mis)balanced. A 1911 start results in a less "tight"/fitting game, but tends to benefit you. In addition, I only play against the AI, so there's that.ġ. Especially since when playing as A-H I usually go for the 1914 start. That said, I usually play as one of the Western Allies, and my main CP nation is Austria-Hungary so my experience may be off base and certainly needs adjustment (especially since A-H is a Europe only power). Right, I may be able to help here since I've played TGW a lot. So my question is, how can we fix this? what can we do to beat the Russian armies? and is there an ulternate strategy you can propose? Also, individual battles, even if a CLEAR victory, seemed to drag on for WEEKS!! I mean, come on! We could not win before 3 or 4 divisions arrived to shore up the defence. There was simply so many russian divisions that he could not successfully attack anywhere and found himself quickly forced on the defensive. My armies took FOREVER to overwhelm the russian lines, and i never achieved a breakthrough because the AI hurried in reinforcements (slower than would have been the case if it were a human), while my friend pushed in to the edge of Brest-Litowsk (thanks in large part to the lack of most of the russian force on his border) before again encountering the same problem. However, when we tested this plan (against the AI) it failed. If we were successful, we would be able to encircle and destroy much of the russian player's force, weakening him and opening the door to a quick russian defeat, allowing us to focus on Serbia (and possibly ROmania and Italy) before finally moving on to France. We would spread 4-5 armies collectively across the border to delay Russian offensives, while 4 armies, composed of our best troops and hidden behind the front, would aim to slice their way to Brest-Litowsk from both HUngary and East Prussia simultaneously. We figured that the Russian player would aim to strike East Prussia first as it is quite exposed and can quickly be cut off (2-3 provinces deep at it's narrowest), and thus would have the bulk of it's force in Western Poland.
We knew that I could hold the border with France, which is heavily fortified, using only 1-2 armies and he could hold the border with Serbia, which does not have a large enough military to properly overwhelm him, with 1-2 armies, so we decided to concentrate on Russia.
Me and the set-to-be AUH player were trying to come up with a plan to use in the tournament. ME and 9 friends are going to play a great war tournament soon.
