Carl G. E. von Mannerheim Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 CvM and Brad T. Present... The War to End All Wars (Der Krieg, zum aller Kriege zu beenden) I will be the Central Powers, Brad is the Triple Alliance. Noon, Berlin August 1st 1914 The German Ultimatem to Russia Expired without response. Germany is now at war with the Slavs. Soon, She, Austro-Hungary and The Ottoman Empire are now at war with France, and Russia. Italy is then pushed into War By France is an Attempt to draw Austro-Hungarian Troops away from the Russian Border Germany, which has been mobilizing for some time, is ready to go on the offensive, it is hoped that it will catch the French Armies off guard. It will focus the bulk of its armies to france, then shift to Russia. It will follow the Schlieffen Plan. But following this plan would surely bring Britain into the conflict, along with her Royal Navy, which was the only force capable of matching the German Hoshseeflotte. Within days the Germans had crossed into Belgium and had brought Britain in the war. Would the Germans be able to outflank the French? only if Schlieffen's criteria was met: "Let the last man on the right Brush the channel with his sleeve..."

By August 15th the Germans are 50 Miles from Paris, a line has Quickly been formed by the Allies. Both Armies fight hard to gain ground, but it is becoming more difficult. In the Balkans, the Serb Seperatists and Bulgarians are crushed. The Austro-Hungarian Army quickly mobilizes for the coming conflict. On the seas, the German High seas fleet steams into the Channel to Challenge British shipping. Would the Sailors of Germany Stand up to the Vaunted Royal Navy?

Carl G. E. von Mannerheim Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 Late August: The Allies are bloodily repulsed at the Battle of the Marne outside Paris. The Allies are pushed hard, and the Germans rush Reinforcements to the Front. The Allied Landing at Athens comes as a shock to Ottoman Forces, who, in coordination with their Austro-Hungarian Allies Prepare to expell them. In the Channel, the Highseas Fleet Quickly Retires to Friendly waters, losing several Light Cruisers and Destroyers, but losing No flagships. In the Atlantic, the new Unterseebootes wreak havoc on unescorted British Merchant Vessels. [ April 21, 2003, 01:38 AM: Message edited by: Carl G.

SpitfireMarkX Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Janurary 9th: 1915 A unwritten Truce happend around Christmas time in France, the men decided not to fight, no offencives were launched, could the Germans be scared? Rebuilding? Or like our Great warriors not want to fight in the Holy Time. General Haeig launched a major attack using BEF Army, 2nd Army, and Canada Corps on 2 German armies including the 2nd. When may this war end, We have produced the 3rd and 4th Army but we need more troops in the Mid-East, Greece, Italy, France and need more ships to confront the Germans in the High Seas. Egypt is a lossed cause! [ April 21, 2003, 02:39 AM: Message edited by: Brad T. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpitfireMarkX Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 All looked dangerous in the Eastern Front, Warsaw fell, and Russia launched an all out assult on German, ottoman forces, destroying 2 armies and a corps, but the situation looks dim for the Russians. 3rd Army arrives in Italy, a corps sneeked through the Italian lines and reached Germany, it is only for propaganda, but those Italians are doomed. We are planning for the next offencive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Greece has more fighting starting, the French Algerian corps ran into enemy fire while clearing the mountains leading to Bulgaria. The Royal Czar army, (3 Army groups, 1 Corps) soon to be lead by the Czar himself, attacked destroying 90% of the enemy, We lost 50 miles in Mid-East France. but hope to recapture.
