Samsonov was undistuinguished in any other battles of note however, because of his suicide.

On the other hand, he did nothing to help Samsonov at Tannenberg. So I will change the ratings of these two officers.

Samsonov--5
Rennenkampf--5

Is that better? I think R. was a better leader, but given their performance, it seems they were roughly equivalent, such as can be said for military commanders.

PS: NIce info on Tannenberg.

Thank you Steel, much better. :D

Hmm, if it's a balance issue....

But I'd then request that for the sake of fairness that Finland be made part of Russia. Please?
 
We prefer to have the Commonwealth as one country, to eliminate the problem that you can't transport the armies of your allies. Which BTW is no problem for Finland-Russia. :p ;)

And after all, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa weren't formally independent states until the Statue of Westminster, December 11, 1931.

But no fuzz about that, if it shows up that it gives no problems at all with independence for those countries, then it's easy to change.

Does this look alright people? I assumed we are simply replacing fascism with autocracy. Although I do not think it was really discussed I think communism should be called socialism since Lenin was definetly not communist. Also I removed the hammer and sickle since that symbol was not adopted until 1923. Note to whoever is doing flags the soviet one should be red with the letters "RSFSR".

BTW I know not all dictators have crowns, but it does represent total control from an individual better then anything else that I could think of.

Lenin was not a communist, but there is a huge difference between run-of-the-mill socialism and the bolsheviks. They were the far left on the political spectrum, even mroe extreme than the mensheviks and other socialist groups. I think we should stick with communism, and leave Russia a little way away from the extreme.

Steele
 
Indeed, it could go either way. The period of war communism during the Russian civil war could be considered communistic, while the period under the new economic policy was be more socialistic and in line with menshivik ideology. Either way would work, since the circle reprensenting poistion on the triangle can be moved outside of the triangle, to represent extremeists for socialism or just put somewhere bettween communinism and dictatorship for communism. Let ellison decide.

A quick question:

Will the German AI automatically implement the Schlieffen Plan?

Similarly, will the French AI automatically implement Plan XVII?

And the Russian mobiliation plan, the name of which I forget. The Austrians, will they elect plan B or Plan R for their 2nd Army? I am sure if you dig deep enough they all had a plan, and they all implemented it.

It might make sense for the game to start with the armies already moving, partly towards their destination? It would be nice if, like aircraft, they took an ORG hit for changing that decision. Like Allenby inferrs, the plans where a big part of the war, and should not be ingored.
 
Well Gentlemen, her is a suggested list of Gernan Generals to get us started. Some of it is an attempt to fit actual people into game mechanics, so Col. Lettow-Vorbeck comes out as Mj General, and Graf Zeppelin, I think, is the nearest thing you would find to an air marshal.

By the way, does anyone know if additional traits can be awarded to generals? In some cases one is just not enough.

I resisted listing the Kaiser as field commander, but was tempted. He always fancied a bash at it...

Regards,

The Restless Kaiser.
 
the closest thing to a Duke in german I think is Fürst. And you should find a keyboard with ü :) . E.g. Karl von Bülow. And if you have Graf and Fürst in the names, you should put in Freiherr M. von Richthofen in my humble opinion :)

I think Wilhelm II was also Field Marshal in the British Army. Best not put him in the British leaders list either :D

Maybe a place for him could be found as a Grand Admiral in the German Navy, as that was his favourite service. But then again, you'd get players and the AI having Wilhelm II as the C-in-C of the Hochseeflotte instead of Mssrs Ingenohl or Scheer - rather barmy I think you'd agree.

I think the various plans of the major powers is very important as I am sure you all know, each country often spent years in designing the particulars. Notably, the Austrian mobilisation was not particularly well planned - the result being that many trains carriages were forced to travel at 4 mph while troops didnt get fed for two days, but would suddenly be given two meals within the space of a few hours. Chaotic stuff. :rolleyes:

And Admiral of the Fleet to boot. Being a decent sort of chap, he returned the insignia of both to King George after having received the ultimatum vis-a-vis violating Belgian neutrality.

He did have a great moustache!
 
Indeed, I do hope that the folk making the leaders lists will provide excellent photographs of the grandiosely mustachioed personalities, including Wilhelm II, Franz Josef, and Generals Joffre and Rennenkampf. :D

I'm fairly sure that to give multiple traits to a leader, the number you give him in the traits column in the .csv file is the sum of all of the traits you want to give him. For example, if you wanted to give a general both Offensive Doctrine and Trickster traits, the number in the file is the sum of the numbers for the OD and Trickster traits.
