  1. Hi

    If you have your Carrier selected, hover the mouse over a target and left click on that target, then the Carriers will launch a strike against it.

    Be sure to be in the right Carrier mode before moving or attacking.

    If you just want to make (say) a Fighter attack against a sea tile, in order to reconnoitre, then hold down the Shift button on your keyboard before attacking.

  2. I like your reference to the "exchange rate" in naval combat! :)

    There's a whole section on Unrestricted Naval Warfare on this page, near the bottom, that should answer all your questions:

    Seaplane Carriers do not benefit from Aircraft tech as they don't carry Fighters.

    As to Minor countries surrendering once their capital is lost, if they have two units left within their territory then they won't surrender. If they've only got one unit left within their territory then they have a 50% chance of surrendering, and once they have no units left within their territory... bingo!  :D

  3. You get +1 movement per level, so each level helps.

    If you can give the Ottomans a good fight in Egypt then it will help your strategy elsewhere.

    I do wonder if a Gallipoli landing attempted in early 1917 rather than 1915 might have really succeeded. In 1915 the Ottoman army was fresh and unbeaten, and so it was able to move reserves readily to hold ground against the landing.

    But by early 1917 it was in a much worse state, and a Gallipoli landing then could have been more successful.

    1. Very Low. Loading some up on Lemnos would be best.

    2. The HQ would have supply 5, which isn't good for the troops it commands but if Sedd el Bahr is surrounded then you may in theory be able to capture it.

    3. It depends what you do with the B.E.F. and Canadians. Some French could possibly carry out a supporting landing.

    4. No, it only has Constantinople. Capturing that doesn't guarantee immediate Ottoman surrender, but what a blow it would strike.

    5. The % can vary for each one, but all will move somewhere between 30 and 45% towards the Entente. Get some diplomacy to work and if both Romania and Bulgaria could be convinced to join your side, Constantinople would be really under threat.

    That said, this would take time and MPPs and the overall war situation would also determine its potential.

    6. The same as usual, so weak but a useful base. However, Greece isn't 100% necessary if you occupy Lemnos. Save MPPs for the invasion and then possible follow up, which could include diplomacy on Romania and Bulgaria if you are really successful.


    This strategy is a high risk one with a low chance of success, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth attempting, and not necessarily in April 1915. Wait until later and land behind enemy lines in Syria or nearby too.
