This time I want to give an overview of the literature I have acquired and read over the years on the theme of WW1. Since I started to make this mod, some more books have been added.

Here is a list with name, publisher, author and, if available, the English version:

Der grosse Krieg 1914/18 , Ullstein, Joe Heydecker
14/18 Der Weg nach Versailles , Propyläen, Jörg Friedrich
Der erste Weltkrieg – Eine europäische Tragödie , Rowohlt , John Keegan______/ The First World War
Der grosse Krieg 1914-1918 , Rowohlt , Herfried Münkler
Hineingeworfen , aufbau , Wolf-Rüdiger Osburg
Die Schlafwandler , Pantheon , Christopher Clark__________________________/ The Sleepwalkers
Auf Messers Schneide , C.H.Beck , Holger Afflerbach
Der erste Weltkrieg , Moewig , Christian Zentner
Griff nach der Weltmacht , Droste , Fritz Fischer__________________________/ Germany's Aims in the First World War
Vom Massensturm zur Stosstrupptaktik , ZMSBw , Ralf Raths
Der Erste Weltkrieg , dtv , Stephan Burgdorff + Klaus Wiegrefe
Skagerrak 1916 , Heyne , John Costello + Terry Hughes_____________________/ Jutland 1916
Der 1. Weltkrieg , Neuer Kaiser , Ian Westwell____________________________/ World War I
Militärtechnik des ersten Weltkriegs , Motorbuch , Wolfgang Fleischer
Der Erste Weltkrieg , ECON , Janusz Piekalkiewicz
In Stahlgewittern , Klett-Cotta , Ernst Jünger____________________________/ In Storms of Steel
Im Westen nichts Neues , KiWi , Erich Maria Remarque____________________/ All Quiet on the Western Front
Der Weg zurück , KiWi, Erich Maria Remarque____________________________/ The Road Back
Der falsche Krieg , DVA , Niall Ferguson_________________________________/ The Pity of War

I can recommend these books to anyone interested in the theme of the First World War, even if I cannot fully follow all the presentations and theses. But it is always good to get different perspectives on an important issue.

Most of the titles speak for themselves. I would like to give a special hint to "Jutland 1916". I bought this book several decades ago. However, it has lost none of its topicality, is well put together and highly recommended for people who are especially interested in naval war history.

I am sure that many other books on WW1 have also been published in many other countries. My advice is, read up on this subject, it is educational in many ways.

You are a very well-read and knowledgeable person, your mod about the Second Reich is like an excellent book on real history in which instead of pictures there are maps in which you skillfully manage to send the player on a long fascinating journey called history! Even your mod DAW , though fantastic , still in some places gives you the opportunity to think about what would have happened if history had gone a little differently or a certain ruler would have acted differently than he did )
I hope the online translator has kept the warmth of my words and admiration for your work)

The translator has conveyed very well what you have formulated really beautifully. Thank you very much for these motivating words. It is nice to see that there are people who are able to recognise such things. Thank you again.

As you describe it, you have 3 alternatives

First: You make the difficulty level easier for yourself (for example, opponent's strength -3 or -4).
Secondly: You give up.
Thirdly: You improve your game so that you master the tasks in the standard setting.

The third option would be best, but it takes time and practice.

Wilhelm was literally consumed by the thirst for popularity. He could not live without the enthusiasm of the crowd and stubbornly sought them in all ways. Self-promotion was at the heart of all his actions, in large and small, in the main and in the little things. To attract attention to himself — this, in fact, was the whole of his policy, internal and external. Evil tongues said: "Emperor Wilhelm wants to be a bride at every wedding, a newborn at every christening, a dead man at every funeral." His entire reign was illuminated by the dazzling flashes of photojournalists' cameras that captured the German crown-bearer at endless parades, hunts, gala dinners, sailing regattas, deputation receptions, at the consecration of banners and castles, the descent of battleships, the opening of new institutions, traveling through German lands and to the courts of his foreign relatives.

I will say that submarines are VERY hard to take out without taking significant damage. One may need to manipulate them to surface by being out of range. Otherwise, zeppelins can chip away at the major capital ships first to give you a slight advantage. By the way, sonja, I'm sure you're aware but capital ship engagement is irrespective of initiative, so generally there is little meaning to the different initiative ratings of them.
