<r> This is a facinating discussion to me. I play Russia. I am learning dso i set Russia up at the easiest setting. Germany attacks in 1940 and Russian Procuction keeps falling until it virtually disappears. This is <B><s>[b]</s>before <e>[/b]</e></B> the loss of moscow, Stalingrad, Leningrad or ...

<t> I have watched the evolution of computer games from a blip on the ocilliscope to multi-player internet games. The most difficult part is the AI. Were it an easy task, the world would be run by machines. I am amazed that the project has gotten this far. All the work is extremely laudable. The ...

<r> I am happy to see FOF continue to improve.&nbsp; My congradualtions.&nbsp;<br/>

Everyone has their favorite commander and can edit the abilities.&nbsp; My interest is in George Thomas, USA.&nbsp; <U><s>[u]</s>Civil War Generalship,<e>[/u]</e></U> William J. Wood, makes an excellent ...

<t> As more historian than gamer, I always turn off the option of direct Birtish intervention.&nbsp; The likelyhood was very low that Britian would actually send its land forces into battle.&nbsp; The US fear was that the British Navy would becove involved.&nbsp; The result would be: 1) Support of ...

<r> I have learned that a new patch is in the offing.&nbsp; I can only resume my call for greater attention to logistics.&nbsp; The following fact is from <U><s>[u]</s>Supplying War<e>[/u]</e></U>.&nbsp; The limit of hourse (mule) drawn supplies was about 25 miles (50 if only one way).&nbsp ...

<t> I want to thank everyone who responded although I humbly suggest that lizards and wisards do not address the question.&nbsp; Indeed, I only posed a question.&nbsp; I did not intend to make any criticism of any game (I look forward to purchasing and playing this one).&nbsp; Again, I am delighted ...

<t> I know that you are creating a game based on WW2 and not trying to completely reproduce the true situation. Hence, all atrocities such as Gulugs and Camps are (and should be) ommitted. Yet, my readings about the Russian Front indicate a ferocity and ruthlessness which not mirrored anywhere else ...

As I am interested in historical stimulation:&nbsp; How does one prevent a side from building a building?&nbsp; for example, the CSA was unable to increase its railroad capacity during the war.

Somewhere in the forums I recall reading descriptions of the available senerios. I have not been able to rediscover the information. Would someone be willing to review these descriptions for me?

<t> Except in special situations of Raiding or Cav vs Cav, ie&nbsp; Gettysburg & Brandy Station, all CW Cav behaved as dragoons.&nbsp; Namely, they rode to a site, dismounted and fought.&nbsp; I do not&nbsp;know of&nbsp;a single instance where Cav was able to behave on the battlefield as the Dragoon ...

<t> I think that the collection of discarded weapons was a random event.&nbsp; In order to collect useful weapons a unit would have to: 1) Not be engaged, 2) Not be&nbsp;ordered to stay in&nbsp;formation, 3) No longer needed on the field of battle, 4) Be in a location where weapons were dropped, 5 ...

<t> I know that I keep saying the same thing but "The squeak wheel ..."<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
No reasources should be collected from a province unless it has an open railway or river.&nbsp; This would include ports for the Union and ports for the Confederacy only if the UK has entered the war.&nbsp ...

<r> <I><s>[i]</s>Why someone would want to deny an ally the ability to transport a resource eludes me at the moment<e>[/i]</e></I>.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
The Soviet Union frequently denied thier "allies" access to resources, esp. airfields.&nbsp; This was most noteable when the British tried to support ...

<t> Using newest patch:<br/>

I had an interestng phenomenea occur during a detailed battle. A large union army was besigning a fort. the seige had not een resolved and the territory was still Confederate. the AI sent into the province a force half the size of the Union. I choose detailed ...

Thank you for an interesting report.&nbsp; I am pleased to see that the Union can win this game.
&nbsp;

Will the patch include "fixes' for the immortal gunboats and victory points?
&nbsp;

<t> Basically, Provinces that do not have an open railline or river to a city (or sea lane in the case of the North) should not be able to contribute supply: money, men, iron, horses, etc. to the government.&nbsp; They can only supply, via forage, troops in said province.&nbsp; Note that I have ...

<t> FYI<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
There are two important facets to supply: the product and the transport.&nbsp;&nbsp; Niether side in the Civil War pocessed the ability to eliminate the production of the other.&nbsp; Logistical control meant control of the transportation.&nbsp; In the civil war this was ...

<t> As you have been so kind as to answer my questions, I have another.&nbsp; When is a unit surrounded?&nbsp; To wit:&nbsp; faced by two enemy units on opposite hexes, 180 degrees apart, three units, four, six. My impression is that to be surrounded a unit cannot have access to any open hex.&nbsp ...

Thank you very much.&nbsp; I do not like it, but can accept the rule.&nbsp; Please help again with POW, what does it stand for.&nbsp; My retreat was not absolutely free, the Union lost a victory point.&nbsp; Again, thanks.
