If the three countries (Britain, France & Russia) coordinated their next two turns they could effectively wipe Germany from the map. If anything, it appears that Britain's fleet is poised to attack Kiel from the Helgoland Bight with support from their armies in Denmark and Holland. This move would take Germany's army at Kiel off the map as there's no place for it to retreat to.
Meanwhile Russia could use their army in Warsaw to attack Germany's army in Silesia with their two armies in Galicia and Prussia in support. The retreating German army would then have no place to go but Bohemia in Austria-Hungary.
In the same turn France needs to take their army in Piedmont and move it north into Tyrolia. And take their fleet in the Gulf of Lyon and move it to Piedmont in Italy. Once they do this, in the next turn France can take their army in Burgundy and attack Munich with armies in Tyrolia and the Ruhr for support. The German army in Munich would have no place to retreat to so it would be removed from the map. France should also take their army in Tuscany and move it into Rome to take that supply center from Italy if it hasn't already done so. And move their fleet in the Gulf of Lyon into the Tyrrhenian Sea.
These coordinated moves in two turns by Britain, Russia and France would effectively leave Germany without any supply centers, and only a single remaining army outside their own border in Bohemia. At this point Germany is effectively out of the game as long as that remaining army cannot take another supply center.
If France makes these moves, Italy should take heed to survive. To move all their fleets towards their own waters so they can support their retreating army, and possibly use those fleets to convoy that army in Tunis to where it's better needed in Italy itself.
Of course all of this leaves Austria-Hungary ripe for the picking. It's just a matter of how Britain, France and Russia divide the spoils. Why Turkey is just sitting there beats me. They should be aggressively moving into the Balkans and westward, taking supply centers. They should take advantage of Austria-Hungary being attacked on multiple fronts.
Of course as a game as opposed to history, there's always the possibility of the three allied nations turning on each other. After all, only one can win the game itself. But I suspect they'll probably honor their alliance and take Austria-Hungary, Italy and lastly Turkey out of the game before they begin turning on each other.
