<t> Its potentially quite dangerous, from a game perspective, to risk unbalancing things by offering bribes to new leaders of shattered nations. You invite risky violent moves because a 'rescue package' will always be forthcoming once the leadership is changed. Also, don't completely discount some ...

Personally, I like the idea of a single terminal hotseat game. It has all the advantages of both the board game( the social factor, the face to face strategizing and diplomacy) as well as the benefits of the computer version (speed of ...

This doesn't sound any faster than PBEM where each person is checking their email and playing at the same time. In fact, this sounds slower.

<t> Hmm, interesting. Yes, I think you are right, VPC would be a good choice, I didn't consider this.<br/>

Thanks to all who responded. I think the answer could be 'yes'. Anyone think there would be any licensing issues here? God forbid I even bring this up, I want all interested folks to go ...

<t> Hi Folks,<br/>

I just had an idea thats possibly popped up before - whats the chances of getting a hotseat game going with remote players by using Windows XP's "Remote Desktop Connection" thingy? Seems like it would work to me, or would it more likely just be a muddle of confusion ...

Its already Wednesday here!

<t> Good post. I also find myself asking 'why' many times during the game. As with you, I have a reasonable, if basic, grasp of the mechanics, but I often find myself doing things simply because I can.<br/>

The complaints about OOB are not that they are/aren't historical, it's that they aren't EiA. If you want to mod the game to your tastes, that's cool, but let's start with the boardgame as a baseline.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

This being the 21st century and all, some clever grognard should be able to come up with a computer program to do all of this--ideally you could use LG to resolve the tactical battles and be able to automatically import/export data b/n LG and AiE ...

Hi,<br/>
I haven't finished reading all the posts, but wanted to share an idea I had, which is to use a 3x5 note card for each division, and have some standardized divisions. In 1805, a 5-factor division to represent St. Hilaire's ...

Not exactly. Tell you what, it might be better to explain it with an example. Why don't you come up with an army, any country, any year, and let me know what type and how many strength points comprise it and I'll show you how I would convert ...

I think the NB paradigm is likely the least best option from a practical sense. Not only is it, IMHO, uber complex, but you absolutely have to have the original rules to make sense of it. Finding the blue supplement book will be a bear, as will the ...
