No, you didn't directly call me an idiot. However, you invested a lot of effort in qualifying my question as being "stupid". A question that for most seemed to be reasonable and was put and phrased very politely and respectfully.<br/>

BUT DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. THE GAME ALLOWS ENEMY UNITS THAT ARE ENCIRCLED TO USE RAIL MOVEMENT THROUGH ENEMY UNITS TO ESCAPE. <br/>

Anyway, I may have an example of the flying RR. Had a Romanian corps out in the middle of Russia when it surrendered. After a turn it was gone, maybe back to Romania via Flying Dracul RR. If somebody ...

In another thread where you were rude and insulting to me, I tried subtly to point out your poor behavior in a light humorous way and give you a chance to save face by showing a little more courtesy and respect. But ...

I don't think there is a magical train bug in PBEM, this could be an AI only problem. Me and my opponent have both had corps pocketed and neither of us had been able to get out until physically relieved. <br/>

This game has bugs ...

I don't understand about the HQ. But still, your encircelment should have happened on turn one ( as most major offensive against France do. ) and on the second turn France gets 4 corps in Paris, 3 corps in the south, 2 corps in Lyon ( I believe ...

I do not agree with godfather on MANY points. <br/>

First, Yes you have variable setup. But the democracy is a little limited. You can't change the side a country will join. But you can delay or make a country join sooner. Still because ...

You can include me in that minority as well. i bought the game at my local hobbie store solely on the subject.

<t> You have complete control of where you place your units in the game's start. you can even save various setups. <br/>

You have diplomacy and research and surrender rules. You don't get to see the mechanics behind the surrender rules but they are there. Diplomacy determines when nations ...

I was sure before but i went back and used air support to count every hex to see what the french had before they were encircled and then waited ...

<t> watching the ai pull off the maical rail movement just ruins the game. I went back and surounded the two hexes in question and watch the ai rail out of all three hexes this time. The front just fills up with units and my offensive ends because the ai uses 16 units it shouldn't be able to have ...

<t> Well they are sitting on the two hexes west of verdun, neither hex is a city hex.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
I am positive they didn't dispand because the open front I was pushing towards lyons and Orleans fills up with multiple units across multiple hexes. On a front that had no units. I have 10 units ...

<t> They were isolated from the front from the previous orders phase. That was the jan-feb 1915 order phase. I have since done a strat and activation phase and now they magicly move away. So this isn't a case of during the order phase I encircle the two hexes they escape.<br/>

If I knew how ...

<t> So how does rail movement work for the ai?<br/>
<br/>
I've just watch the AI rail move 8 units from two hexes that where surrounded by enemy conrolled hexes. It boggles the mind that you can hop on a tran and rail through enemy hexes and then enemy units to arrive at the front to hold shore up ...
