How do you defeat France before Italy joins the war? If I'm lucky and aggressive, I manage to take Paris by Christmas or so, but even then, France will not surrender before Italy joins the war.
Or do you have to refrain from using poison gas as Germany? I never do that.
then you should be hyperaggressive
ai is weak, some players too, u can take paris in sep/oct
second phase, taking bordeaux is much harder and it works just vs ai (so far in multiplayer almost everyone left the game after paris fall, only one player setup defense with huge british help and its tough to advance), u need like 3 infantries + air support and go straight down bordeaux with them, cut off nantes + brest on the way, rest of the army im used to use for a "scythe maneuver", encircling rest of french army nearby dijon, antwerp is overpowered, so just ignore it, it will surrender just after france
i made a little tour until ultimate victory in august 1915 (it could be faster, but i forget to supply my first landed infantry in britain
), it was vs privileged ai

ps: i just discovered new weird strategy, so russia down in feb 1915 and ultimate victory 1st apr 1915
last edit: one more improve, russia and britain down at feb 4th, thats all folks, i guess it cant be done much faster
