The Romanians in Transylvania attacked the defending Austro-Hungarians October 17 at Brasov, but failed to gain ground, and the counter-attack has forced them to retreat from the area and continues to push them back to their starting lines.

On October 18, the fighting at Le Transloy wound down indecisively, due to weather bogging down further British attacks and the German defenders becoming accustomed to the Allied tactics.

Fighting erupted on the Eastern Front at Cobadin, with the Central Powers facing off against the combined Romanian-Russian Army of the Dobrega. The fighting is currently favoring the Germans and Austro-Hungarians, who threaten to capture a key railway and port despite being outnumbered 3:2.

At Verdun, French artillery has begun a bombardment, indicating a renewal of fighting there. At the Somme, the British continue their slow advance on the Ancre Heights.
