The Autumn Offensive Begins Part I

For the German Reich, and the nations composed of its European allies the weeks and months that followed Erich's death were one of largely logistical preparedness for the forthcoming theater of war. Millions of men and supplies were switched from Italy, the Caucasus and the Balkans towards the western front.

At the same time, Austro-Hungary and the Russian Empire did their best to produce as many tanks as they feasibly could for the upcoming push into France. Sure, France tried its best to do the same, but there were limits to what they could reasonably achieve without the support of Britain and its industry.

When compared to the industrial potential of its three adversaries, as Greece would be sitting out of this major battle and instead focus on consolidating their gains, France was at an overwhelming disadvantage.
