Am going to assume you are playing against the AI. I usually don't, but can you take Brussels consistently first turn when Germany enters..? In MP, usually the absolute best I can do with Brussels is getting the Belgian infantry knocked down to a 1 strength, even at that, it was rare. More often or not (depending on the dice roll) success is somewhat less.. What would impress me even more: Is if you can supply us with a screenshot of your capture..

u have new nickname? last game ive started someone used almost my opening on me, brussels down to 1

as operating said, i never make it less than down to 1 in vanilla (i would be really suprised, if it can be done by consecutive attacks, even if i tried to save/load and pick up best resulting attacks, i wasnt able to achieve that, on top of that, non-consecutive way is useless for mp)

hope so, im still not sure if cp can be stopped, but taking brussels in first german turn would be like last nail in ententes coffin

it was in general "im still not sure if cp can be stopped"

im almost digged in at this game, quite far from paris on bended line calais <-> verdun

if he has no plan b, i guess paris virginity can prevail 8)

ive made coastal counter attack to link antwerp again with france at turn 6, now it looks shiny

From what I can see in your screenshot on turn 6 is a defeated German army..! So much for taking Brussels on first turn, or second must be a newbie..

on second (4th), he could be next to calais but turned up to antwerp with cavalry, which i had just destroyed

he was bit frustrated by my counter moves :lol:

i never lost as entente so far, just two or three times ive lost calais (only results which can be considered as truly better), antwerp more often but taking it means to lose the war, so no real problem

in contrary in last 10 months no one stopped my blitzkrieg as cp, so im not sure if it can be stopped

actually tyro/sitskrieg achieved average result, not great nor bad, something like you more than year ago 8)

i dont know in 1914, but in 1916 scenario i got it in 4th turn once i guess, in mp :lol:

in 1914 maybe in 6th (it was early september), sometimes i met people who disbanded all small garrisons and started to build up infantries as first units, it was like a freeride then

cause of unlimited railway points ai is more challenging in first turns than such humans
