In multiplayer how much French cities do I need to occupy so that they surrender

beating france is all about taking paris and few more turns of bombing rest of its cities

I thought without Paris they would surrender very soon. Italy is almost on my ass this is very bad

declare war on suiss, it will postopen italian enter for like 20 turns

Wait are you trolling I thought doing that causes Italy to mobilize.

absolutely not, it scares italy to death

u can try it vs ai in 1915 scenario, if u dont trust me

That makes no sense from a game aspect the developers seem like a bunch of idiots now

It does make some kind of sense in that you have the possibility to delay Italy by

1. opening up another front (however weak Switzerland may be)
2. thereby angering the US and maybe causing Bulgaria to stop shifting towards CP if still neutral due to Entente total PPs becoming too big. If you have already taken Paris the latter is very unlikely though.

Lol USA isn't even a moderate threat in this game. It would take literal years for them to get a sizable force into Europe

it costs bulgaria, but its acceptable price, france is what really matters

Well I guess ottomans will never get saved
So sad

ottomans are always saved, if cp are fast enough

France and Serbs have surrendered how do I remove the British?

russia next, britain as last, sink dreadnought or destroy their industry, its close when they are last man standing

when there is some brave dreadnought in reach of zeps, it can be heavy damaged by zeps (reduced to red) and finished by fleet, it works even when its in port

if there is no one brave, just carpet bombing can finish them too

to remove Russia just take Warsaw
?

not really, it needs dreadnought too or some more minors (or destroyed industry), but warsaw and that fortress do a lot

it just guess, but its like warsaw+fortress+20 morale

So I was thinking about cp. there really isn't much reason to devote any German money into fighting Russia right. Except for a few garrison to fill gaps. A much more effective strategy I'd to dump everything into kicking France out of the war aka remove Paris. With Russia the only place of strategic value you can take is Warsaw and this barely faxes the Russians. 2 front war is utter insanity.

excatly what im talking about all the time

cp dont have enough production to fight more than one front effectively, russia is unbeatable first, serbia is harmless, france is only reasonable option where to put as much effort as possible

im almost convinced cp should win it the west, at least inital phase, but im not sure if they can resist reconquering of paris, britain is quite safe, so can make swarm of airplanes, germans/cp economy is vulnerable, any loss is tough to be replaced

britain and russia are still great threat togheter, as long as russia holds warsaw, britain can take easilly netherland as base... its hard to predict such total war late game

without breaking france are cp hopeless, thats sure

Yeah i was just thinking about his after looking at operating's AAR.opnn attack into Russia seems simply pointless

im playing vs opnn now, he abandoned that suciding tactics, fortunately i didnt understimate him, i know hes a smart guy and i had thrown almost all in the west front, so i stoped him just at paris gates (first one ever reached at least one neigbour hex of my paris but at that time i had enough british planes to make counterattack/s)

1 hex is still safe, but 2 neighbour hexes is imminent danger with enough air support
