@Texas:
You have plenty to defend, if France and Russia are attacking, it’s a good thing.
France typically falls back to defend. It’s kind of hard to describe something this complex and fluid in a sentence or two. Way too many variables. AH can also disrupt the Med.
When Germany is buying as heavily naval as you describe, if France is still falling back, it is their error and decidedly not the merits of the CP strategy that determine such an unnecessary retreat, unless of course Russia is just being ignored until they get next to Berlin or Vienna.
France and Russia are attacking Germany, Germany is buying Naval units which means they have less to defend with and, more importantly, less to attack with (they need to capture capitals eventually), and that is a good thing? I think what we really need from your tests are evaluations of the Allied play, not general CP strats that seem to be using much more resources than the CP have.
At what point in this Naval strat do the CP actually start advancing on land?
What does the income situation look like when Germany buys all these ships and barely attacks?
