Thank you again for keeping the torch alight.

Yes. All Corps in that attempt to move through Insurrected area should be obliged to halt; not just the triggering corps.

Good point David. Why it is essential that the defender send their chit choice to another trusted player, as in the early days...

<t> Needs to be fixed. Otherwise, this breach will undermine trust and confidence in the game. Even if someone (the defender) is always honest, there is a manifest and likely potential that others, some at least, will perceive a lurking advantage for him because he can either auto-retreat or ...

Yes. Too quiet. My guess is that this has run its course and we will be lucky to see any new patches.

Thank you! Might you tell us when we will see the next official patch?

Anybody else note that Marshall has not been on the forums since 3/16/2011...

<t> Light ships, as encorporated in this game, are not an asset. One could use them for interception/evasion bonuses or something to that effect...<br/>

The gravest violation of common sense in the Naval Rules is the limited maintenance costs in a blockade box. As the Blockade box is the sea ...

Perhaps, yes. But paid customers unhappy means less paying customers as word gets out.

I've heard that 1.08.05 will not be released as an official patch. Can we have an official Marshall/Matrix comment on this please ?<br/>

There is a lot of interest in this patch from the PBEM games I am in, but an understandable ...

<t> Dunno. 1 in 6 is a very large abstraction already. I can readily observe a few examples of weather being such a large factor in blockades being dispersed (the other hole being time on station and revictualling/maintenance requirements) that I don't think that the quality of the ship crews would ...

Yes, indeed. Also, if I recall in the Advanced Naval Rules, if one used a decoy fleet to force a battle then the odds went up to 2 in 6. But I may be misremembering.

So what you're saying is that there is in fact about a 1 in 6 chance of a blockaded fleet breaking the blockade each month?

I don't think that is an unreasonable starting point. One should want to take into account ...

<t> Del:<br/>

Nice try but you are, in your hard and fast conclusion, wrong. You give perfect conditions to the blockading fleet. This perfection is often not the case. Remember that Brueys slipped past Nelson on the way to Malta and for most of the Med chase. Blockades can be scattered by ...

Please.... any update?

How about we get all the bugs with current game fixed then focus on screwing with it to add 'historical accuracy' at the cost of play balance?

A morale system is workable. I'm not too worried if GB is invincible at sea, because that how it was in history. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

History is not deterministic. Just because something was, does not mean that it had to be ...

<t> These are the rules. Thanks for finding them. Per navies getting better, well, that would require some programming. I could write the rules but that is not the problem in our realm, as you know well. Moreover, I put to you that there is no point in pursuing a naval review unless this improvement ...

<t> I think I could get a hold of it. Understood that the General system was not balanced, but neither was the war. The concept is correct but it discounts the ability for Navies to get better, as they have from time to time when the war is long enough and the enemy is determined and has access to ...

Thank you!!!
