BOOM!
Now Joisey - that was a shot right to the head....

Don't jinx it! PLEASE!

Well by doing that, you allow him to control your play. So he still wins.<br/>
And I doubt a pugnacious player is going to 'learn' any lesson from you.<br/>
<br/>
Even if you 'kick' someone 'out', you just gimped the game. You cannot avoid it.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Sardonic<br/>
OK? What is your point? I ally with the winner? Never. In any case, I dont bid high, so it isnt an issue.<br/>
But if you imagine that a player who realizes he cant win, will play the same, as a player who <br/>
CAN win.... your deluded.
<e ...

<t> Well, actually I don't remember one single game where my plans worked out!<br/>
A plan works well - until you see the face of the enemy...<br/>
Just my experience!<br/>
<br/>
But more to the point:<br/>
Is't adjusting to a new situation one of the real funs in the game?<br/>
There is ...

<t> Right! Like with any game! If there is no risk to lose - where's the fun in winning?<br/>
<br/>
After my post I had a little look on my map:<br/>
<br/>
Best positioning for FR would be:<br/>
Option 1:<br/>
Lorraine-province (more defensive)<br/>
- it's within the FR home nation<br ...

I was thinking invasion supply from the GB's until an opportune port can be taken.<br/>
<br/>
As to the south, garrisons would be left in Mantua, Salzburg and Dresden(saxon corps). With a large AU/PR advance nearing Paris I do not think FR action ...

<t> Hmm,<br/>
let me guess! Let AU/PR take Hannover - let them move to Amsterdam destroy the depots behind them and starve them in Amsterdam!<br/>
Your way by supplying them by sea won't work because QUOTE:"At least one of these ports must contain a fleet"! And in the beginning neither AU nor PR ...

<t> There was some calculation about the outcome of the first clash between FR and AU/PR!<br/>
<br/>
Well like it was said before there is a 3:2 advantage in numbers for AU/PR and a slight moral advantage for FR... Did I get it right morvwilson?<br/>
<br/>
If so, there is just one tiny problem ...

The price does not need to be Prussian provinces, but if the offer is help in a scandinavian campaign this can be done by Russia without help. The swedish army or navy is not that large.<br/>
<br/>
Help from Austria is an option, money from ...

@morvwilson
Just my opinion!
If there's a price tag to RU help, it cannot be PR provinces!

But maybe PR help in a RU campain for scandinavia or AU help against TU is reasonable...

<t> @Joisey<br/>
Yes I've seen the deal you discribe aus "Faustean"! Unfortunately I was PR! I had to decide which front to torn to... And as I must admit, FR offered the better deal:<br/>
- Conditional peace<br/>
- Saxony, Hesse, Duchies, Hannover and everything north he left to me!<br/>
<br ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: morvwilson<br/>
<br/>
Give me one year of peace as Fr in the grand campaign and I don't care if Pr and Au unite!<br/>
But, as france I think that it would be a glorious thing to see the Prussian flag flying in cities like Copenhagen, Stockholm and Riga!<br ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: megalomania2003<br/>
<br/>
But how, any intelligent Austrian and Prussian players will set up so that they can join before France can reach them<br/>
<br/>
What about the Russian navy - what will you promise the russian? Allied to Spain and France it will ...

<r> First things first:<br/>
It's been a long time since I've played FR. I prefer going against Napi to playing him...<br/>
But now to the point:<br/>

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Joisey<br/>
I believe it is important as France to not let the Austrian and Prussian armies link up. Move ...

By all means, I certainly want a faithful reproduction of the boardgame as much as the next Guy. What I said was to put these ideas into "advanced" OPTIONS, IF players want to experiment with them.<br/>
<br/>
You know, just like the Axis & Allies ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Ursa MAior<br/>
No I meant what norden said. France was having economical problems from 1813 due to the high number of men (I mean males) drawn into military service, and not enough left to do the mundane tasks like working on th fields and in the factories (kinda ...

It's not the salary. Every country has a certain amount of men: farmhands, unemployed, criminals, whatever who are not really missed in a countries conomy. At some point you have to recruit people in produktive work, specialists and so on. This ...

An advanced option that would decrease your economic income by a certain % if you raise troops beyond a certain level per year. See post above.<br/>

Optional rule - hmmm well, if he wants to...<br/>

<t> Great stuff Marshall!<br/>
<br/>
And very nice of you to keep us informed! And by showing us things like this keeping us HUNGRY!<br/>
<br/>
But from my point of view:<br/>
I'd rather forgo any screenshots or updates, if you can get your work finished a day earlier!<br/>
But you'll know ...

apologies to the EiA team... the closer we get to a release, the crankier we get.<br/>

Actually I'm not cranky at all!<br/>
Let's say the game'll cost like 50$.....<br/>

That'll leave me enough ...
