RE: Deal of the Week! Empires in Arms is on sale for $ 19.99

Wow, I paid like $60 for it. I love the game but always thought that price was a bit steep.

RE: anybody?

email me at kb5zht@yahoo.com for a game. I prefer the central powers but I guess I could play TE as well. I will probably lose but I enjoy playing.

I'm not sure how you could lose 12 to 15 factors if he only has 18 there, that's like 80-90% casualty losses. Did this actually happen or are you exaggerating? If that is actually happening then something is wrong UNLESS you mean you lost a ...

RE: Any reason reinforcements shouldn't appear?

okay, several times you guys mentioned "posting saved games"... what is the quickest route to do this? in the future when I see one of the three major issues I have run into appear I can be more helpful.

Any reason reinforcements shouldn't appear?

<t> I have found waaay too many reinforcement phases come and go where the troops I had purchased the correct number of months prior (say, infantry) that simply do not become available during the reinforcement phase. Is there any reason why you may be denied reinforcements? I'm not talking certain ...

<t> Forage was not necessary as the unit was in supply and, for that matter, ADJACENT to a territory with a depot. It was not winter. The leader counter disappeared as well as the three guard factors under him.<br/>

<t> Leader advantages are ignored? Well, that's makes about as much sense as a rubber crutch in a hospital ward.

RE: To Conqure Genoa....?

I have resolved this issue..... to make a long story short, my problem had to do with timing, declaration of war and an enemy nation state surrendering at a bad time (though that sounds funny). Conquring it was no longer an option by the time I got strength points to it.

RE: combat is also a little illogical

Nope. Almost entire infantry on both sides (I actually had some cavalry), and one of my leaders was napoleon. His was benningson.

And this isn't the only occurance of this out of balance combat resolution.

Funny how lucky AI's get in combat in so many games.

combat is also a little illogical

have fought way too many battles where I had superior morale, leadership AND outnumbered the AI as much as 4 to 1... and they massacered me. Way too much to be random chance. Just fought a battle where I had 61 strength factos (french) against 18 russian factors and they annihilated me.
