Getting the Oil out of Iraq

For the first time ever (for me) I've just taken all of Iraq and the middle east (not yet Kuwait or Iran). Last turn I saw my oil jump from 80 to 85, which seemed right as I had just taken the northern most oil field. But then this latest turn it dropped back to 40. Any idea what might cause that?

Re: noobie looking for a thrashing

LOL. I think we've got ourselves into a bit of a loop here. I've sent you another PM with my email address in it. Send me an email and we can go from there :)

Re: Looking for an opponent

I'm keen! Looks like it was nearly 3 years ago now that I posted my last opponent wanted message but I'm still fascinated by this game. I've sent a PM.

Sounds good! I've replied, but I'm never sure whether my private messages make it through or not. Let me know if you dont get it.

Hi there. Are you still looking? I could take on another if so.

Re: CFNA 40-43

I'm up to about turn 98 in a current PBEM game. That's the furthest I've got in over the years.

Re: FITE v.5.0

This was my experience too the last time I played FITE (quite a while ago now). Is there any consensus on how to 'rebalance' that? I've seen a few players offering their own simple modded versions of FITE, but it seemed to me that the soviet unit numbers was the real issue - not a quick fix.

Re: Your best scenarios for PBEM ?

Some of my all time favourites would have to be:

Europe Aflame
FITE
Drang Nach Osten
The Daniel McBride one covering Eidleweiss (cant remember the name)

Oh and Into Darkness is fasting climbing my list.

Goodness! Is anyone out there? I dont think I've ever gone this long without a single bite, and I've been playing this game for almost 20 years I think!

Looking for an opponent

For small to medium scenarios initially, but I'm starting to slowly build my way up to the monsters of TOAW again. PM me or replay below.

Re: Next game?

The fantasy game is very exciting! I'd love to see a war of the ring or war of the lance scenario!

I think FITE might be just a bit too big for me these days sorry.

Looking for an opponent

Looking for a new opponent. I'm pretty open to the scenario, and even been considering one of the monsters like FITE (but not sure if my laptop will cope with it). I'm probably an intermediate player - been playing a long time, but far from in the top echelon :) Drop me a line

Re: Fall Grau?

I'm struggling a bit to remember to be honest. I started 3 games around the same time, but I think this one went by the wayside somehow quite early on. The most advanced one got to about turn 30ish, and was playing really well - the Germans appeared to be reaching high water mark having made strong ...

Re: Eastern Front '41-'45 Fabio (Axis) vs Jason (Soviet)

This is a great AAR Fabio, and I can vouch for this scenario as well. It is lovingly crafted, thought through in a lot of detail, and plays really well.

As for this particular run through - the AAR lays out what happened really well. From the Russian side it felt like horror after horror (much ...

Re: RE: Updating Europe Aflame for TOAW4


I think we did a bit of a PO. The Briefing I have says:

Adding a Programmed Opponent (PO)
Previously, Europe Aflame has not had a programmed opponent. It was generally felt that a game of this complexity and with so much opportunity to deviate from the historical path,
would not lend itself ...
