Victory conditions opinions please

I have an opponent who, as axis, believes that the victory conditions grossly favor the allies. He has offered to play the 1939 scenario using historical dates. I believe that while 1947 might be too much, the game was designed to give the axis a fair shot, and therefore, a 1945 date as a victory ...

Re: Looking for a game

Hello. I do not know what ELO is either. I'm available. I only play allied (sorry). I consider myself average; I don't do ladders or tournaments as I would get destroyed.

If you would like a game, PM me. Also let me know if you want house rules as I tend to upset people by doing non-historical ...

Re: Am I a jerk or a cheater?

Appreciate all the replies. "House rules" seem to be the best advice.

I for one, play to win, and consider that if the game creators have had a chance to fix something and haven't, well I'm going to play my hand and expect my opponent to do the same.

Thanx again,and I'll see about using the ...

Re: Am I a jerk or a cheater?

Thanx for the replies. I may just look into setting up games here, instead of just making games without PW’s.

How is that done? So, the advice to seek opponents here is good and I’m listening.

I’m ok with house rules. One thing, however, is I would totally lose the element of suprize on these ...

Am I a jerk or a cheater?

I’m respectful to others, and I consider myself a nice guy. But I’m getting a lot of flak from opponents in the game for “gamey” moves. Shouldn’t I use all the tools I have available to win the war? If you play me in chess and I make a stupid mistake that leaves my queen open, take it for goodness ...

Re: Update made game unplayable

Game no longer launches. I go to the menu where I hit play (the one with the options to see guide and launch editor). From there, clicking play flashes a black screen and goes back to steam with the green play button. Verify files says that 1 file failed to verify, of course no way to tell which one ...

Re: Update made game unplayable

Wow, I sure appreciate the offer. I remember years ago you saved a PBEM game for me. Tech support here is the best!

Won't be necessary, though. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and the PBEM is working now.

Thanx again.

Update 1.08 made game unplayable

Steam version, ran fine on 1.07.

My PBEM games now give error:

File CRC32 mismatch \1.07.00\1861 Blue and Gray.dat

Also, I'm trying the new scenario and game hangs on checking supply after the first turn.

I tried versifying game files in steam.

Please tell me I haven't lost 2 great PBEM games!

Pretty big bug!

<t> Multiplayer. When France fell, an Italian tank was in Algeria, next to or in Algiers.<br/>
<br/>
So France surrendered, and there was no offer for Vichy. Instead, all the French territories in the world went axis, including all of France.<br/>
