I just reloaded this on my PC after not thinking about it for about 3 years. My only question regarding an update is are the Greeks still using Dutch icons?

I far prefer the earlier round ones on aesthetic grounds.

All excellent updates - huzzah to Frank for continuing great work on this game.

I don't think the Entente should be allowed at all to declare on Belgium or the Netherlands (or Luxembourg). Last time I designed a variant for a WWI game, that's what my research came up with.

No dow (ever) on the Ottomans also sounds reasonable imho, albeit less so.

It's simply way more fun to read Ulver's AARs than to actually play the game. I hope he keeps them coming! Makes for great at-work reading.

When I get a battle report involving the Austrians, most of the time it reminds me of that movie where a modern carrier showed up at the battle of Midway. The Austrians clearly have nukes and are running on nuclear power. [;)]

How sweet that would have been, historically. Great AAR as always.

Sure. Shifting your attacks along the line is the way to defeat France.

I really enjoyed that old website. The discussion went far beyond even Frank's games and was a lot of fun, and educational too.

They're not retreating . . . they're just advancing in a different direction. [;)]

Are there any other issues anyone knows about that I should look at?

Thanks!

To me, ships leaving Constantinople going to Eastern Med, yet being intercepted in the Black Sea, is a bug.

He's done some very nice operational Napoleonic games as well, some of which are here on the Matrix site I believe. For example, Campaigns on the Danube 1805 - 1809.

But does it randomly print out dollar bills?

Although the new map is a fabulous piece of work, I prefer the original graphics. . . . I would really love to see the original map corrected (and maybe even add in the title graphic in the lower left gray box).<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

<t> I sent an Ottoman fleet that was in Constantinople to patrol the Eastern Med (highly successfully, as it turned out). It fought some Russian ships in the Black Sea on the way. It would be better imho if ships did not have to pass through the Black Sea enroute to the Eastern Med when leaving ...

Sometimes it won't even report that your own ships are sunk when they are.

That is good to know. Now I know to stockpile lots of points for the Bulgarians. Thanks.

Those Turks really get around. [;)] (to Hungary!)

Possibly the most amazing AAR of any game (boardgame or computer game or whatever) I've ever read. What a wild game!
