FWW... whats next?

RE: FWW... whats next?
Both Serbia and Galicia would require special rules to have a chance of getting a historical outcome, similar to the numerous Russian penalties in the Clash of Empires campaign of EP '14.

However, I fear that the superiority of the defence combined with not being able to chase and encircle enemy units will make achieving a historical outcome difficult.

Without the serious command problems, the Russians might even do quite a bit better than they historically did in Galicia as some of their frontline commanders ended up being just as cautious as Rennenkampf even though they seriously outnumbered Austro-Hungarian forces (south) east of Lemberg. Fixing Austro-Hungarian forces east of Lemberg so they can't dig in along the numerous (major) rivers east of Lemberg is difficult because those forces are supposed to be attacking (with the usual 1914 wildly optimistic expectations and blind belief in their own superiority, both sides walked into eachother).

Launching a successful Austro-Hungarian offensive might be the crown jewel of any PzC/FWWC experience due to their mixed C/D divisions and no superiority over the Russians in any other arm than cavalry.

A Serbia game would be challenging to combine into one campaign, as the Austro-Hungarian plan of attack was so strange (attacking a mountainous region with very limited strategic value away from concentrations of friendly rail lines) that experienced players might just leave the mountains for what they are and send everybody to the plains around Belgrade, a far more logical place to fight. To avoid this, cutting at least the earliest campaign into a western and central campaign might be necessary. There might be elegant ways to get it to work, though.
