<t> Another way to force counter-air engagements in RtV was to repeatedly attack targets in a given area where you had air superiority. For example, you could force a Battle of Britain by attacking units in and around London. The British and US air units would rise to fight, but if you had air ...

<t> RtV did allow you to attack enemy air bases. It's just that most of the time enemy aircraft based far enough behind the front lines that you rarely saw them--most units only spot 3 or 4 hexes. If you made a big breakthrough, you could often overrun and wipe out the enemy airforce on the ground ...

<t> I had the same download corruption issue (US store).&nbsp; I downloaded a second time and had the same issues.&nbsp; Through great persistence in trying to extract the zipped files, I eventually got my second download to extract and install.&nbsp; It's not a solution, but keep trying to extract ...

<t> It was an inglorious end for Rome . . . Altair sure knows how to run the Barbarian army . . . and I think he does fine in English with the AAR. <br/>
<br/>
After he make some further modifications, I think we will start a new game with sides switched, to see how well I do with the Barbarians ...

<r> Altair underestimates my dire situation. With supply lines cut yet again and Burtigala retaken, Caesar got almost no supplies this turn. Only his cavalry could move this turn. The cavalry wiped out the remnants of Spanish cavalry that had cut the road back to Italy. <br/>
<br/>
But with the ...

<r> Here's the casualty figures from my attack on the Spanish cavalry. In the screen above, you can see what's left of that unit in the lower left.<br/>

<r> Well, I have reestablished supply lines to Caesar and his Legions, defeating a small band of Spanish cavalry in the process (see casualty report in next post). But you can see the Barbarian hordes in the hills to the north; supply lines won't stay open long. I also transferred some much needed ...

<t> Having soundly smitten a band of Spanish cavalry (bloody Barbarian sympathisers!) in plains terrain in my last battle (sorry, no screenie), I conclude that the reason my casualties were high at Burtigala is because of the terrain benefits of the city for the defenders, which is as it should be ...

<r> Here are the casualty figures from the battle at Burtigala.<br/>

<r> Caesar's Tenth and the 3rd Gallica have taken Burtigala, but casualties were higher than expected--almost as many as the Barbarians. (I wonder what Altair has done to the combat formulas in this mod? I noticed that concentric bonuses seem pretty low. Even though I had legions on three side ...

<r> The second skirmish of this war has just occurred near Burtigala. Julius Caesar's famed Tenth Legion and his Extraordinarii caught a band of Barbarians on the slopes east of the town and cut them down (I need to remember to take a screenie of the battles). Casualties were light among the Legions ...

<r> After about a dozen turns of building up Roman forces, I have launched an attack on Gaul (Gallia). I delayed in order to be able to buy a second legion (at a cost of 95 PP, using a card to purchase). We'll see what I have unleashed . . . I believe my attack brings in Gallia on the side of the ...

I've got my opponent.&nbsp; Thread closed.

<t> Hi. I've been itching to play the Great Patriotic War scenario as the Germans. Anyone out there want to take the Russian side? I'm looking for only a single opponent to handle all the Russian fronts. <br/>
<br/>
I am pretty consistent in playing one turn per day on weekdays--possibly more on ...

<t> I have to agree with Grymme on using horses as my primary mobilizer.&nbsp; Horses are the most cost efficient.&nbsp; Trucks belong in HQs to use for strategic movement of important assets like artillery, or a single vulnerable unit after combat.&nbsp; I sometimes use trucks to create a highly ...

<t> The loss in readiness from strategic transfers is only until the end of your opponent's turn. You will find your artillery at full readiness at the beginning of your next turn (unless they suffered losses from an attack or you have inadequate supply).<br/>
<br/>
I also use strategic movement ...

<r> I see my worthy opponent has provided a snapshot of the power of his entire Army, so I will do the same. You will notice that Roman numbers are far lower than the godless Barbarian hordes, but Roman Legionaire's are indeed king of the battlefield.<br/>

<r> This AAR will chronicle the conflict between the Roman Empire (handled by me Stikmann) and the Barbarian horde (handled by Von Altair). We are using Von Altair's Roman Empire mod v1.21 Please bear with me as this is my first AAR.<br/>
