Österreichische Kriegnachrichten November 1915

Eine neue Dämmerung ist hier
für das prachtvollste Reich auf unserer Masse!

Das intensive Kämpfen von
Oktober hat rüber in November außerdem verschüttet geworden. Unser eben
verursacht 14 Korps ist jetzt auf der Bewegung vorwärts. Verbleit durch das
ausgezeichnete Kaiserjägers nahm es Kampf gegen italienische Auslesekräfte von
ihren Positionen entlang dem Tagliamento Fluß auf. Dieses Mal, obwohl die
Italiener für den Angriff vorbereitet wurden und in guten Auftrag vom
Schlachtaufstellungsort zurückzogen.

Später taten die
lokalisierten Italiener in der Isonzo Tasche eine wütende Gegenoffensive. Unsere
Verteidigung war die Abteilung des Knochens stark 20 Honved. Wir hielten unseren
Boden und die Italienerunfall entwickelten sich zu horrende Zahlen.

Das Ministerium der
Verteidigung erklärt jetzt, daß der Fall von Italien unmittelbar drohend ist und
daß der Krieg auf dieser Frontseite zu gesetzt werden sollte und en vor 1915
rüber sein.

Phasen sehnen sich unser
Kaiser Franz Joseph!

/Herzog Eugen

This is how our future gaming table will look like. B-)

England attacks!!!

The German 9th Reserve Corps where attacked at 2:1 +1 odds by the British 2, 6 and 10 Corps, three hexes outside Paris, this must be seen as a good attack by the commonwealth troops.

Encircled Italian forces.

This is the situation at present in north eastern Italy.

The 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th Italian Corps plus independent divisions, brigades, regiments and cadres that are the encircled units in the NE Italy.
Future looks very grim for these units.

Hopefully there will be some of the thousands of men that will find there way back to Italian controlled land, so that they may take up arms again and avenge there fallen brothers.

CP OCT II Western Front

Despite (or perhaps thanks to) many cadres the Germans managed to make 2 one hex attacks with 2 elite corps.
The effect was a DE and a DH-result on a 25p respectively 15p stacks.
The German fighter planes were aborted.
French recon planes were also aborted from concentrated AntiAir fire.

The Germans got reinforcements from east in from oform of 2 cadred divisions and 3 art regiments. Also 5 conversions of art regiments were made.
However 2 elite mountain divisions (1st and 2nd brAK) a were sent t o Balkans to make a push against the remnants of the Serbian Army and the Entente unit which has landed in Tessaloniki.

Once again the Entente managed to react on the critical part of the front where a a gap in the lines existed.
Also another reaction nearby prepared a French strategic withdrawal to shorten the the frontline.

The weather forecast for next turn is clear, giving hope to more linebreaking attacks.

Oct II Entente turn

Supplemental

Mid October saw the Italian National Will plumet to a terrefying 1.
This has the effect of widespread panic of the troops.
No attacks where possible due to the morale and loss of active leadership.

Express telegrams where sent to the major fighting Entente powers, England and France.
These in turn sent telegrams confirming the departure of forces.

Oct I 15 - CP Turn, Southern Front

After completely encircling the Italian Isonzo Army, Austrian-Hungarian forces attempted two attacks.
These both attack failed to produce any real causalities, only forcing the defending Italian units into short retreats.

Unfortunately one of the attacking Italian corps involved in the attack where unable to retreat and was therefore eliminated.

This was a major loss in numbers for the Italian side, but both sides where exposing its combat supplies.
This in turn forced both sides to reorganize and redeploy its forces.

Italian Commander in travel trouble

As I was riding the train to my field commander post, I was made aware of the fact that not all soldiers under my command recognize me.
The military police patrolling the train did not recognize me and had me leave the train at first possible station.

Now I see one or two hands out there wondering why I didn't identified myself to the MP's, but as it were, my trusted aide, Mr W. Allet was still at my personal retreat, with my identification papers.

 

This has the effect of postponing our defensive attacks until a future date.

CP OCT I 1915 and Oc tII 1915 Ent westfront

The German army did attack massively at the weakest part of the French line with 6:1 +1 odds.
Getting a HX result.
The French did however make a perfect retreat to 2 hexes as 2 active depots were equdistant from the battle field so no need for reaction movement to fill the holes.

The Entnente had many sucessful reaction rolls but not much could be done in them.
Only some preparations for reorganizations.

In the CP exploitation phase preparations for a giant 2- step reorganization fest was prepared.
So that in oct II the 2 Alpjäger (brAK1 and brAK2) divisions could be sent to south balkan for the AustroHungarian, German and Bulgarian offensive in Macedonia.

The entente october II 1915 started with a clear weather roll.
So the summer offensives can continue.
The Brits did some reorganizations, didn't even bother to check for any eventual odds.
The French did try strengthen the line but in a sucessful reaction with help from Falkenheyn himself the Germans made a 6:1 reacion attack at the weakest point again int the french lines.
Getting a HX result was devastating for the French but also the Germans are getting weary from having to cadre it's elite divisions.
However the Kaiserlische Garde is still intact so they can attack the the lines that French mad a futile attempt to repair in the exploitation.

Österreichische Kriegnachrichten Oktober 1915 (Teil zwei).

Am Anfang Oktober zwei wurden Hauptbetriebe von unseren Truppen durchgeführt, welche die Umzingelung der italienischen Isonzo Armee durchführen. Trotz des Mangels an notwendigen Versorgungsmaterialienwaren die Italiener in der Lage, von unseren Hauptangriffen erfolgreich zurückzuziehen. Jedoch informiert der Hauptsitz uns, daß "es nur ein Frage der Zeit ist, bevor die Italiener in unserer massiven Tasche überwunden werden".
