I hope that Britian does not HAVE to take Paris to have a shot at winning the game.

Heh! That would be poetic justice. Make the little shopkeepers do something besides sitting on their backsides counting ...

I tried to downlaod the dang thing this morning...it wouldn't start, so I went to the next link which didn't work, either. I'll have another go, I guess.

Heh, I may just wait for the boxed version...perish the thought of downlaoding the thing then having a crash before I can back it up. Besides...I like a pretty box with some readable material.

<t> This game is at the top of my "to grab" list. I'm curious about file size for digital download. I survive on a regular old 56K dialup. I'm imagining that the file(s) would be large and numerous. Would I be able to get digital download without being timed-out by my server?<br/>

Thanks in ...

Can I order now? Mail to Australia takes soooooooo long. Heck, do you ship to Australia?

<t> First and foremost, France is Spain's best chance for survival, and greatest threat if forsaken. <br/>
British eyes always fall hungrily upon Portugal. This should belong to Spain as a rich province. If Britain gets Portugal, she gets another corps and fleet...making her more of a nuisance to ...

I'd be happy to be the French. Perhaps I can engage Spain and Russia in a dismemberment-of-England-alliance while the Central European powers struggle to come up with enough bread to move their armies. Imagine the concept...the northern Spanish provinces of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

I can remember the fun in the Battleground series where you might have a few battalions in a hex, then necessarily try to get them all into square with one or more failing causing a mess in your line.

<t> Irregardless Marshall, if you're only 10% through the playtesting phase, and you've been playtesting for what, a year now...that only gives us 9 years to go at the present pace. Only four to five years if playtesting started 6 months ago. My rheumy eyes are too tired to search the threads for a ...

That, kind sir, is just the game. I'd first discovered it some four years ago while still in it's development phase.

<t> A few years back, I'd told my then fiance', that what really would have made me happy was a wargame where you could fight Jutland, Tshushima, and many of the great battles at sea before the advent of the aircraft carrier.<br/>
<br/>
Finally, one day I found a site purporting to be creating ...

Ugh! Who cares! The most important thing any wargame can have that this one is missing is Germans.

<t> Living in Australia with it's time zone so different from everywhere else, I don't expect much luck in finding 7 players for good TC/IP play, and I don't expect any PBEM game with seven players to allow me more than one turn in 7 days...if my opponents/allies are diligent in whipping out a turn ...

<t> The problem is that eventually almost anything could happen. During the 1813 campaign, French cavalry were able to break a Prussian square. Mainly this was due to the fact that rain kept the Prussian muskets from firing.<br/>
<br/>
On another occasion in the same year, Prussian infantry ...

I have no problem with having no rules covering airmissions. I have just not met a brave enough Soviet player who would agree to it. Maybe you are that man? You will be begging for air limits before your 1st non clear weather turn. <br/>

I On the other hand IP play would be awesome in a 2 player game with 5 computer run countries. Two people getting together is easy. Every time you add another player you increase the chance that somebody will not make it. So my suggestion ...

<t> And what is fair? ...should we have told the Allies in WWI that they couldn't fire as many times as they could afford with their huge preponderance of cannon during the Paschendaele and other offensives? Killing men and reducing readiness...somehow, I think that is what it's all about.<br/>
<br ...

I keep waiting for the AAR...as my boss would say: "How hard can it be!?!"

<t> I think IP play should be possible...it is after great fun to square off for some fast gaming. The game file would have to be able to be saved and picked up later, though. I have doubts about the ability of 7 players to get together at any one time, especially when they are from many diverse ...

<t> I've just read the full story from the Matrix home page about this game, and I've been reading the forum almost daily. I'm concerned about one thing...modifying!<br/>
<br/>
We all love to fix things we think are wrong, and I don't begrudge anybody this. My concern is about the transparency of ...
