Are Central Powers really at a disadvantage in WW1? Allies have been getting rocked hard every game we’ve played.

WWI 1914

Okay, unless Germany gets really unlucky with mine rolls the entire British fleet gets sunk immediately.

Germany has a massive army advantage over France and Poland is a death trap for Russia. Once Romania, Serbia and Albania get rocked by Austria and the Turks get a bunch of free Bulgarians Russia is on a timer.

Germany can just start marching East with the East Prussia army as support and wipe out the remnants of the Russian Army as Italy typically isn’t a threat until turn 2-3.

France was collapsing with 25-30 German units at Paris’ door, while Britain was chipping away at the Turks.

Now GB has to A) control the Turks or B) keep France from dying.

France cannot handle Germany’s starting power if it’s spearheaded in a giant death ball.

The US enters on turn 4 but can’t reach land until turn 6.

Russia is never an offensive threat, but has anyone else felt the game is more tilted towards the CP?
