@RealHumanBean Truth is, my nation sucks, Russia sent guys with sticks against machine guns and had a gun for every three men, there's a reason they got smashed so badly that it changed the fundamental structure of the country. Even if I used good strategy, the only chance the Russians have is pure manpower. Even if I tried to use good strategy, it would fail because the Russians were so disjointed in the command structure, if Russia hopes to actually be a contender, the dictatorship of the Whites or the Bolsheviks need to win the RCW (Which I am having earlier in order to still be able to play in WW1), if only to institute a command structure where there's one guy in charge of everything. If Nick lives through the RCW, Russia's fucked.

Unless the Entente Cordiale send help... please?

I mean the revolutions only happened because russia was awful at war tactics and the soviet were able to remain in power by making peace so as not to upset the populace.

@LordZell Thing is, Bolsheviks didn't make peace, they tried, but then the Whites rose up and flipped the Germans off, Russia was lucky the war ended when it did, or else things would have gone bad.

The whites showed up first and installed a provisional government. But vowed to keep fighting. This was the February Revolution. The bolsheviks under Lenin and funded by the germans rose up in October. They got moscow and made peace so they could secure the internal struggle.

Had America not joined the war. The germans may have been able to push out with the reinforcements from the eastern theatre.

I'm wondering whether to have Finland's first post from the perspective of the Finnish Parliament, or from Mannerheim's viewpoint. Probably Mannerheim, I need a little more info on Finland's government first.

Does anyone else hate how most movies and stuff portray the Western Front as Germany vs the UK, when, if anything, it was Germany vs France, and France won.

Actually, without each other, the French were screwed. France certainly did not "win" the war....

I mean realistically the US won. As without their fresh troops and tactics the germans with the new men taken from the eastern front could have pushed forward.

Based on this being the second statement from another player about WW1 history that has no actual historical grounding whatsoever I am out of this RP.

@LordZell

US troops actually did pretty badly in the beginning of the European Front, it may have been North Africa though it is hard to recall, they had severely lost their first battle as they were not hardened by war. Not to mention, it was actually the Russians that saved Europe, them doing quite the number on German troops.
