<t> The big rules no shows here are:<br/>
<br/>
Force March - This can be key, especially in the instance of rapidly reinforcing a weak army that is vulnerable to attack.<br/>
<br/>
New Political Combinations - Some of these are very important. The Confederation of the Rhine and Kingdom of Italy ...

Holy cow! I didn't realize he had any more books out. I had the privelige to take two courses from Prof. Lynn while I was at U of I, they were easily the two best courses I took while I was there.

I'm still paying attention! Of course, I just picked up the game too. Can't believe I missed this before.

If Russia is going to bring 6 corps together under Kutusov to prevent cavalry superiority, might as well bring 8.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

Agreed. Remember, for the most part, Turkey should be able to keep most of her army in one stack ...

<t> I always thought Tu was a very interesting play. As someone pointed out, you really need to be a politician though. The Turks have a few advantages:<br/>
<br/>
1) They should have cav superiority in all of their battles.<br/>
2) They have some decent leaders, but Pechlivan Khan is better than ...

If you guys call Pippin nasty, don't play in our group. We have guys who build cavalry (not in large numbers, just 1's and 2's) simply to add options during the reinforcement phase. <br/>

Nothing like being ...

<t>In the immortal words of the MacKenzie brothers, "Take off!"<br/>

Seriously, I present two names for discussion:<br/>
Bennigsen<br/>
and <br/>
Hohenlohe<br/>
<br/>
Bennigsen for choosing a defensive position with a river to his back.<br/>
<br/>
Hohenlohe for standing an entire corps of ...

<t>What was wrong with MOO3, aside from being a different way of playing the game rather than micromanaging everything?<br/>
<br/>
I am all for upgrading EiA, HOWEVER, the way to do it is by building it up from the main game. Create the basic game, which would be a direct EiA port (with all the ...

Which is exactly why bidding is important, even if math isn't very important to me!

What changes did EiH make to the map?

<t>I agree Yorlum.<br/>
<br/>
Also, in regards to bidding, that is part of this game. Some people want to play France, sometimes several, and sometimes the only way to resolve this is by bidding. Additionally, bidding also levels the playing field. If I remember correctly, France needs 400 VPs to ...

<t>I have been lurking around these boards for months, but I need to speak up now...<br/>
<br/>
First off, I have played several games of EiA to completion, mostly with France, but also with Austria. <br/>
