PBEM THE GREAT WAR - Div Level

I had nothing better to do so I thought I´d open up the biq and examine the production of the nations at the beginning of the scenario.

Starting at 1914

Great Britain (in a golden age): aprox 1160 shields per turn

France: aprox 777 shields per turn

Russia: aprox 1275 shields per turn

Italy: 362 shields per turn

total: 3574 shields per turn



Germany: 1179 shields per turn

Austria-Hungary: 437 shields per turn

Ottoman empire: I didnt bother examining their crappy cities but I would estimate their production to 300 shields per turn at maximum


total: 1916 shields per turn


I also have not taken into consideration the tons of reinforcement improvements that are located in most russian and french cities.

The central powers are being outproduced with 1600 shields each turn and maybe by 1200 shields each turn once Englands GA ends.

If the central powers could capture some cities from the entente fast in the game this figures could be easily modified.

But with fortresses, bombshelter, arty with range 1, and def being higher than attack on most units its very hard to attack and gain ground, meaning the entente will benefit from their production advantage for a very long time if not the whole game.

Is the scenario winable at all for the central powers?
 
Historically there was always a chance, but speed was needed. So this game gives you a historical view of World War I.
The longer the war continues the harder it will become I think!
But the allies or the centrals haven't won this in a month. And with some good tactics the centrals can take the allies.

Ouch! That hurt!

Russia: How many times did the corps attack? 2 times each=6 attacks?
And where did the corps attack from? Kaunas?

France:My two infantry divisions (1 elite) , were they standing alone or did you attack my large stack? What attacked them? Corps?

One Corp attacked out of Kunas, the other two from due south of the forest.
The Kunas corp attacked only once the other two attacked twice, the rest
were killed by cossacks. All units were first redlined by artillery.

QUESTION: should we report spying actions that are detected? e.g. If we try to plant a spy and fail? If we try to steal a tech and our spy is caught in the act?
