No, but I am reading
Anyway, what version of TGW are you using, is it the latest?
Isn't Bulgaria supposed to be part of the Alliance? Or join them at some point? Or am I just missing something?

You are damn right.
I forgot.
In 1916, the 28th august Romania should declare war at Austria, Italy at Germany, Germany at Romania.
The 30th august Turkey at Romania.
The 1st september Bulgaria at Romania.
And miss a lot of other declarations of war.

In the last play, Great Britain did not declare war on Triple Alliance powers, neither Bulgaria and Romania entered in war.
United States remained completely neutral as well as other south America's countries ...
There is an event dealing with british entry into TGW, there is a 5% chance of them not enteringLord Fabbro said:
This requires certain provinces beeing held by russia in 1916, and how likely is it that russia holds anything in europe in 1916?
There uis a long chain of events leading to US war entry, it is very likely that someplace in the chain, a trigger does not exist, or the 'wrong' choice is made.
Talking about being ahistorical ... :wacko:
I think Great Britan has all the motivations to declare war at Germany. And historically declared war after the invasion of Belgium by German forces ( they felt threatened by German presence too close to the Channel ).

What do you mean? And in what conditions ?
Austrian-Hungaric Empire not allied with Italy, or allied?
If allied, ask to access their military resources, move some divisions in the province you need.
If not allied, put Italian division on the border. The more you put, the more A.I. will reinforce the border.
If you can deploy 50 division in Venice, A.I. will try to deploy an identical number of division in the threatened provinces.

Why have August 1914 and November 1914?
August we know is for trying out the Schlieffen Plan.
November for stalemate, but this stalemate could easily be a date further in the war - 3 months seems too short a time to divide two scenarios.
I suggest May 1915 - just before 2nd Ypres and the German eastern offensive that dislodged the Russians from Galicia and ended up taking Warsaw.....

The choice to declare war on germany wasn't too clear before the invasion of Belgium, so If Germany chooses not to go through BeNeLux, Britain should remain neutral. Why fight for France (alone)?Lord Fabbro said:
Because they are their allies, and they had sworn they'd do it?! I don't know, it could be used as a valid excuse...
Yes, scenarios.
Jan 1914, Aug 1914, May 1915, (Feb 1916??), Nov 1917, Mar 1918, (Oct 1918??)
Jan 1914, Aug 1914, May 1915, (Feb 1916??), Nov 1917, Mar 1918, (Oct 1918??)
The first one to do is August 1914 - it should be relatively simple to write up, it wouldn't require massive changes to resources or manpower, or even to OBs. Because of that, it would serve as good experience in simply making a scenario, for when trying to do the more ambitious ones like November 1917.
Also, the August 1914 scenario ensures that the war has begun in the historical way, which the January 1914 cannot.
Personally, I think the deadlock scenario should be early 1915 - late November would clash with the August one, and a scenario in early 1915 would allow for the war to go in a suitably different way, that might not be the case if the scenario began in late 1914. Furthermore, the western front didnt actually move between late 1914 and early 1915 (or for a long while after that), so what would the difference be?
Also, an early 1915 scenario would give some attention to the Dardanelles campaign, although I would be unsure whether it would be best for it to begin before or during the operation.

During would be very ambitious - is it possible to script all the divisions on transports, walking towards Constantinople? That'll start it off with a bang!
The British entered because Germany violated the Belgian border, which was still garanteed by the british empire. This garant (sp?) was signed about ~1836 (?). I don't remember anything regarding helping the frensh in the first place. In fact, the british weren't even sure whether they should enter the war or not and would have had a hard time deciding it if Germany hadn't attacked Belgium.Gwalcmai said:
