<t> I dont say that Roosevelt was a bad guy it would in my oppinion be more correct to describe him as cynical and/or pragmatic, in any case I have no doubt that he was a very smart guy. <br/>

<t> The point of this thread is neither to ask Marshall to change the ratings or to enable the possibility to change them but to find out what other players think about the Napoleonic commanders, if they are rated historicly correct and if not why.<br/>

I think there are a few commanders whos ratings aint realistic. Whats your take on the EiA commander ratings?

Is there commanders that are over or under rated?

Do we miss any commanders you think should be in the game?

<t> This is a strange thing that can be argued I guess<br/>

Rules say ur allowed to place depots to supply a minor you get control of due to a DOW. It would in my oppinion be resonable to asume that the depot is fair game for the aggressor even if not formaly at war with the controling ...

Conquest step is the last step of the land phase in EiA and its also the only step of the land phase that is done simultanously by all players.

You have a fleet in a unblockaded home nation city with a depot. You use sea transport to unload a corp next to an enemy city. Your corp attackes the garrision, destroys it, and moves into the city. The next naval phase ...

To add to that:
&nbsp;
If the alternative interpretation of the minor control rules was correct France wouldnt be allowed to garrison, beseige or conquer the city at all.

<t> This is an area where I think the rules of the original game is inconclusive - it all comes down to the definition of friendly. I would personaly lean towards saying that in this specific context "friendly" means not hostile, as in not at war with (which is different from the interpretation i ...

It is true, but as I said if the minor or anyone else you are at war with besieges your garrisson the conquest will fail and the war lapse so leaving with your corp/s is not always free of risk.

Thats logical and also how the boardgame works

Thank you
