These rules are more extensive than I thought. :P

Yes, I look forward to watching this game after Languishites digest this game system in a mere matter of hours.

If we actually get going, I promise to at least attempt a turn-by-turn report from Russia/Serbia's perspective.  I leave it to Berkut, et al, to do the other side of things.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

You and i are the central powers. You mainly need to choose if you want to handle the western front or the eastern front.

That should work out ok - the newbs on the West, the Pros in the East.

I finally have Vassal working as well. Still lots of rules that need reading. I've made my through the basic rulebook at least.

It's the opposite of RL.

Do we want to put a start date on this, then?  Knowing I have a time set will help me read the rules more quickly.   :P

Germany declared war on August 1st so I think you should start that day.

I'll be waylaid in Pennsylvania at that time, so that won't work for me...

...unless we're trying to represent the delay of Russian mobilization?   :hmm:

Ok so:

France: Berkut
Russia: Habbaku
Germany: Solmyr
Austria-Hungary: Tamas

This means that the Western Front will be managed by Berkut and Solmyr. (by all chance, Italy will join Entente, in that case we will decide what makes more sense, but probably Solmyr will deal with that front), while East will be by me and Habs. Meaning that I will control German forces on the East, but Solmyr will have final say on what troops to send there, and how to allocate his munition and replacements between the two fronts.
And needless to say, Habs will be controlling the Serbs as well, hopefully running them into the ground in short order.

I am fine with starting on 1st of August, we will just do the Western Front first, Habs.

I will be in London on the 1st of August (which I'm sure Wilhelm II would have loved to do). Returning in the evening on the 3rd. So if we start in August I can begin on the 4th earliest.
