Re: Question about Scourge of War being delisted by Matrix

Okay, apologies for hijacking this thread, but what happens to this game? I was thinking of buying it when it went back on sale, but apparently it is gone now. Is it possible to find copies used? I feel like that has gone the way of the dodo so I don’t hold out much hope. Hopefully this is just temp...

Re: Naval Combat Guide/Tips?

Okay, I am sorry to necro this thread, but I’m really frustrated by Maritime bombers and seaplanes. I have tried the things in this thread, and others I have read, and nothing works to let me use the sea recon abilities of either unit. For example, I can seemingly use Maritime Bombers to scan inland...

Re: Tech trade-offs

Okay, I have a question about Production tech that relates to this discussion: does Prod Tech lessen the cost of replacements as well as purchasing units? More specifically, what exactly does production tech help you save on? I’ve done a wee bit of math and if the only savings is on purchasing unit...

Re: Tech trade-offs

A) I would be interested to know if and when other players chose to invest in Production Tech. I find whenever I am playing that I will always to prefer to invest in Industrial Tech, rather than Production Tech, as the pay-off is greater (usually at least at 10 - 15% increase in MPPs, versus a 5% d...

RE: Any plans for a Steam release?

<r> This is sad to hear. wish I noticed this before my post as I feel like my thread is probably redundant, but maybe the AI will have been improved despite some of the game’s other shortcomings.<br/> <br/> Out of curiosity, what happened to this game?

single Player

I have see in years past people mention that single player WiF here is quite weak and, ostensibly, not really an option. Is this still the case? Might there be a mod that helps the AI?

Thanks folks!

Avaloncon?

Are any of the people who used to play EiA at the old Avaloncon? I played the first few years, won the second year and came close in year three as Austria, but I am curious to find out if others transitioned to this game later on?

Best wishes,
Aaron

<t> For years I have wanted an Arab-Israeli wargame that was a mix of grand strategic overview of the period with a fairly tactical approach for military matters. There are plenty of games that have scenarios from ‘48 to the present, but none where the game actually runs the gamut of that period lit...

RE: Opp for 1939 scenario

I won't be returning to PBEM for the moment as she still is in the hospital and I'm spending a lot of time with her. Hopefully when I return ...

I seem to always need to exhaust the carrier's movement to do this, but this cannot be right! I did a search and nothing is coming up, so I seem to be the onl...

Opp for 1939 scenario

Howdy, I am looking to start playing PBEM but since I am still new to the game I would prefer to find some other newer players so we can learn together. i have set up two 1939 scenarios with soft build limits. I am fine with axis or allies, or we can play one of each.

Thanks!

<t> I’m thinking of buying this game and I was wondering if any of the scenario packs include the Jewish Wars against Rome? If not, is there any plan to bring these out? I’d think there would be quite a bit of interest in the Masada revolt, and even the Kitos Wars and Bar Kochba would be really inte...

RE: pc vs ipad

<t> I suppose the way I would look at it is the PC version has a scenario creator (I think, right?) and the iPad version does not, so the price difference is somewhat justified in this way as well. IMHO, I would never want to go thru the process of designing a scenario on an iPad, so I support this ...
