I can't retake France

But we can still continue and have Germany have to invade Britain

Or we can just end this pbem

Germany can't invade Britain. Only the west allies can build transports. I designed the scenario to be over when either Paris or Berlin falls, but I never anticipated such an early victory/defeat. I've spent most of the game up to this point investing in city growth and I've just begun to mass produce troops and join in on the war, so I personally would like to keep going, but I don't know where a good stopping point will be. I guess we could play another turn and see if ANZAC can retake France. If he does we can consider this the aftermath of Verdun, since basically the French army was destroyed during the battle and the British carried the West Front henceforth, so no big loss.

Not to mention academia didn't destroy many troops in his invasion; he probably only encountered about ten units, and perhaps twenty or so more units disappeared when their homes were lost. Most of the Allied army hasn't even been touched since the German strategy avoided the Front itself, so there are many troops there.

All I am worried about is that when ANZAC retakes France many of the fortifications will be destroyed, so the German player can attack even with infantry.

Well, take this as an experience. Maybe you could try to modify a couple of things in a future improved multiplayer version.

Yes, around 35-45 units.

Took 70% of France, including Paris, cut major rail lines to prevent further one-turn blitzes, and solidified defensive position in numerous hills and mountains. Last turn I took my greedy eyes from all those empty German cities because I thought Britain could defend them better than I, but after the last turn it appears not. So, now my only option is to raze the entire nation. Either the allies will have France, or nobody at all!

You can begin a realtime game during a player's turn and switch them using human diplomacy options. You make the change, play the turn, and save it like any other one.

All right there was a technical difficulty with the switch, so I just redid the turn without taking the cities. If anyone has a problem with that, let them speak now...

Hey! Thanks academia for saving some for me! I guess it's all over now. But thank you everyone for playing.

On another note, do you all think this scenario was too unbalanced? I am aware that Darius went well over half the game with the inability of producing Russian troops. Any suggestions on how I could improve this for a future PBEM?

Sorry I saw the opportunity and i took it.
Anyway, let me tell you that i spent many hours playing this scenario in the singleplayer mode. I think that is the best WW1 scenario on the net

Suggestions...
* Delete that stupid event: "if paris captured, allies civ destroyed"
* And the railroads... one more time i have to say that i donīt like them; i find it extremely inaccurate and unreal. I conquered France in one turn and Italy in the other!!! That was impossible during the WW1.
In my opinion, you should forbid the construction of railroads and expand the rate movement of the roads; take a look at "Imperalism 1870"
* Please, let germany build transports.

mmm... nothing else come to mind now. Itīs a great scenario
