Played Illusions Of Glory with Tim last weekend.  I had the Allies.  Probably the longest game we’ve had.  We made to 1917 with the issue definitively in doubt.  Previous games were shorter, with either Austrians or Russians committing a series of early fatal errors.

Here’s a quick shot of the board when we decided to stop.  Top of the photo is West.

Tim did an excellent job of keeping Austrian loses low, and letting the powerful German armies attrit the Russians to the point their troop quality was dangerously.

Stymied in the North, I resorted to joint British/Serbian amphibious landings in Salonika and Albania.

As usual, things were just starting to get interesting when we had to quit.
