Welcome to the AH Challenge where everything is made up and the points don't matter.
I'm imagining a conflagration more or less along the lines of OTL but with Austria-Hungary not involved (presumably because FF is alive and calling the shots, but this is not necessary).
My rules are (the rules don't matter, give me whatever scenario you want. Think of this as like "Bonus Points for"...but I'm not giving points.)
-later the PoD the better
-BP for having war break out between 1914 and 1917
-both Russia and Germany enter the war, I initially assumed opposing sides but it's not a requirement. There should be at least 2 of the major powers on each side (of Russia, Turkey, Britain, Italy, and France). USA and Japan can be involved but are not required.
-Either side can win, either side can lose, but I *do* assume that Russia going to war with Germany and the Ottomans simultaneously between 1914 and 1917 ends up with the Russian revolution.
My own personal scenario is what I like to call "A Damned Fool Thing in the Aegean" which involves FF surviving the assassination attempt, and then war breaking out more or less along the same lines in 1915 or 1916 with the Ottomans playing Austria-Hungary and Greece playing Serbia. (Turkey & Bulgaria decide to go for a 3rd Balkan war during the narrow window of Turkish naval supremacy, expecting that if Russia were to back Greece, Germany gets involved to protect her investments and the Berlin-Baghdad railway). I could imagine that in this circumstance, there are small possibilities that Britain stays out entirely or at the beginning (or even sides with Germans).
Interested to see what we can come up with, and my intention, I should advise, is, with proper crediting and permission, to attempt to use this as part of an Alt-WWI timeline
Cheers
