September 1914 saw more bloody combats in the Western Front. Both sides put more Armies into the Battlefield (Br, Fr and Ge reinforcements cards were played this turn).
German continued the offensive against Verdun fortress and, with a overwhelming victory (again 7 steps), forced the French to retire to Bar-le-Duc. Then German besieged Verdun and the rest of GE Armies were attacking French at Bar-le-Duc and the strong positions at Nancy.
 GE attack on Verdun |  GE hit Bar-le-Duc and Nancy |
French achieved to repel the attack on Nancy (4-7) causing heavy casualties but were routed from Bar-le-Duc and there was a real critical situation with Central Powers menacing to cut-off the French troops at Nancy and Belfort.
More French Corps were called from the Reserve to fill the gap. Then German offensive went for a rest to replace some of the exhausted soldiers.
 Western Front at the End od Turn 2 | In just two months of combats, French has already lost 4 Armies of their initial setup. British Reinforcements should arrive ASAP or the entire front will collapse. |
In the East there was no much activity this turn. Just a few combats around AH border at Ivangorod were the rest of Russians Corps were routed. This is the situation:
This time, Allied did not fulfill their MO (British) and lost 1 VP.
End of turn 2: VP: +10. WS, AP=5, CP=2. Thus, next turn, Allied will move to Limited War.
