A simple method of inferring interference from above is allocation of supply to the various fronts. You want a big push in the South? Too bad! The Northern Army/Front got supply preference. No need to give ultimata to take a particular cities.

The Colonial Units upgrade actually gives infantry, not militia as it says.<br/>

And I think it is known that they went way overboard on the feudal levy and it is going to get bumped back up. There is no national feudal levy right now ...

<t> I'm one of those who has passed on WitP: AE because I no longer want to deal with minutae. Heck, When I read that the manual was well over 300 pages I was already decided. For the record, I don't get into the PBEM stuff. Always some hair-splitter with gamey tactics and exploits. <br/>

<t> The naval improvement that is supposed to provide colonial militia seems to be totally inoperative. I've never received a single militia (as France or Russia). Since the cost of buying militia for my garrisons in conquered provinces increases the cost of all my actual combat units, I thought ...

There's Nobuo Fujita. In '42 he bombed Oregon, the only such attacks on the US. Perhaps he's being recognized for those actions?

His attacks were from a float plane, ferried in by sub, in which he dropped several bombs for minimal damage but useful for propaganda purposes.

<t> In the 1792 scenario, France, I've noted that, when building courts and culture, if they are at level 1, when they finish building they are automatically building the next level!<br/>

Also, Austria seems particularly slothful. They send their initial army of 30-50K, which I defeat, and ...

<t> daemon- War with US results in naval combats if your ships wander through the western-most seas areas. The US has both merchants and warships that will confront you in those areas. Other than that, I know of no other effects. Perhaps your port fees are reduced through loss of American shipping ...

I'm afraid that something has been badly distorted in the game when one passes on attacking battleships at Pearl Harbor, but, is happy to have sunk some of those "dangerous PT's" in the PI. [&:]

Also, the containers receive reduced cost while in garrison, while taking up no troop space.
If the fort is large enough, you can drop the whole corp into garrison, without removing divisions from it.

<t> Being cognizant of how wasteful Quick Combat can be, what does your replacement pool look like?<br/>

I'm curious as to your position on Austria and Britain DoW'ing Bavaria (IF you feel it's safe to say, that is).<br/>

Likewise, Italy is going bright yellow! As it would provide ...

<t> Sorry I've not replied sooner, but, offering advice, while having 100% hindsight AND reading the other threads, has to be done carefully. [:D] <br/>

I agree with Evwalt that you should hook your star to France. Problem is, France is reluctant to commit to war with Britain! Nevertheless ...

<t> One of the common complaints is about the frequency of revolts due to 'diplomacy'. I think they plan some changes, but, not in time to assist your game, unfortunately.<br/>

As a diplomatic move it's difficult to see how Turkey can expect to gain any advantage from sabotaging Prussia. But ...

<r> A <I><s>[i]</s>VERY<e>[/i]</e></I> long time ago I read that there was no record of an American PT boat sinking a enemy warship, of any type.

<t> A rapprochement with France seems like a good play right now. A regular, and hefty, French subsidy would be of great assistance to Prussia. The nearby British holdings will surely be at great risk, particularly if Sweden can be induced to join any attacks on Denmark.<br/>
<br/>
Prior to WWII ...

<t> I have to say, British strategy is completely unfathomable. First they cripple the Swede's fleet and take Denmark, then they play to cripple the Prussians, all while playing footsie with the French. Just who do think will be holding the French down after they've hindered all the other powers ...

<t> Glad you've posted. Was worried that you and Sweden might have dropped out. Interested in a deal with Austria, dividing up Veneto for her and the rest for you? Admittedly, neither is a prize province, but, it all adds up. Also, that'd put Austria (via Veneto) in the path of both French and ...

Aye, from Frank Herbert's Dune.
