Official Color Designations with Initial IPC's

It all depends on what UK does. If UK ignores them the ottomans can really grow quickly and threaten.

Yes.

That’s exactly right, why should a stupid piece of land come between two best friends who fought each other many times since 1800….previous animosities have no effect on future relationships.

Just like Hitler and Stalin joining together 1939. Neither of them had any suspicion of the other and knew the 10 year pact would be able to be renewed. They must have figured the pact would last into 1979. It was so obvious right?

1914 Italians look like Japs.

1914 Russians look like 1940 Italians.

I do wish they would keep the same colors,

BUT…i do love the new UK color over the old UK

Remember to have enough infantry saved to allow you to split up your force when you need to.
Or you’re liable to get an army stuck in Moscow…

@AlphaKappa:

Does 1914 Italy orange = A&A 1940 Japan orange?
What about USA, USSR? Are those the same? (because it looks to me like they’re different shades, but it’s a bit difficult to tell)
Does anybody know yet?  I just can’t wait until release! I’ve gotta knowÂ

I’ve posted some comparative pictures here:

There are many reasons for the failure of the Spring Offensive the nutritional status of the German Army, the Deciphering of German radio traffic by Georges Painvin, 1 mio CP Soldiers still hanging out in the East, but the main reason were the Strategic errors of the German leadership.
Ludendorffs decision to reinforce troops who encountered the stubborn resistance led to an improper use of the powers. The findings of the subsequent World War showed that to maximize the shock effect precisely those troops should be increased, which had already achieved the greatest success. Generally, the reserve management during the offensive was problematic, since only the troops in the front line were reinforced and that no full new units were brought there. This led to rapid fatigue of the deployed forces. Furthermore, the fixation of the General Staff only on the military concept of the breakthrough. The offensive had been planned by the OHL consistently methodically, but only up to the supposedly decisive goal, the shock through the enemy lines. An orderly plan for the exploitation of the resulting gaps, something like an (don´t know whats it in english) “Umfassungsmanöver” was not hit. The shock of the attack had been identified as shock troops tactically decisive factor, however, to use this principle as a strategic moment, was not considered.

Hey Flash, will you also simulate the Christmas Peace of 1914 ? Maybe with a little football on the map ?  :wink:

The US should just start with another transport and a cruiser but not be allowed to do anything until:

Paris is attacked or contested.
German land units occupy a territory on the British Isles or Canada.
Germany has declared USW.

OR roll a die at the beginning of US turn 3 onward. If the result is less than the current turn the allies have persuaded the US to enter the war/Zimmerman note intercepted/Lusitania Sunk, etc.

(US enters on turn 3 on 2 or less. On turn 4 on 3 or less, turn 5, on 4 or less, etc. The US will be at war no later than turn 7)
