<t> What we did was do a % of losses with multinational forces. This applied to Naval and Land forces. Basically if 10 FR and 10 SP were together attacking another nation(s) then the FR & SP would split losses 50-50.<br/>
<br/>
If 10 FR are stacked with 3 SP then % losses would be 77% FR and 23 ...

<r> Remember one important variation between the boardgame and the computer version. In the board game two or more allied nations could do a <I><s>[i]</s>combined<e>[/i]</e></I> move. Another words the nations involved would ALL move at the same time, conduct any battles at the same time, etc. <br ...

<t> It has been my experience with EiA that one bad war does not kill a nation although it may take one or two at most game years to recover. It does not gain the other nations to much to keep beating down a nation because what happens then is the player getting jumped on by everyone else just ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Wouldn't that be kinda realistic, though? I mean as far as international law and the law of the sea worked at that time? I'm not an expert, but it seems to me that if GB would attack a ship of a neutral country, it would, from a legal point of view, be equal to an attack on ...

<t> Everyone is missing the point. In this version of EiA the way the program handles "Combined Moves" is instead of 2 nations moving at the time of the slower nation, One nation 'gives/loans' the corp it wants to combine move with its allied nation. <br/>
<br/>
For example: GB and FR are at war ...

<t> Timothy_stone makes a VERY valid case here. This can throw the balance of the game especially for France into disorder.<br/>
<br/>
In the board game, GB could attack the SP fleet transporting the FR forces and SP could, even if in an enforced peace, declare war on GB. <br/>

How does ...

Toadkillerdog I lost your email address in a computer crash. Shoot me one so I can catch up on what's been happening. I assume you have my Military email address still.

<t> Geesh I just realized I contradict my own statement about the depot supply. In one case I say it favors the French (unlimited supply) then I turn around and give a strategy on how it favors the coalition.<br/>

We have had a face-to-face game going on in last few weeks. Every week there has been stacks about 18 corps + leaders (usually Charles).<br/>

First I am in 100% agreement as to what attracted me to EiA in the first place. If I had the time (and it is to late in the project now) I would have loved to beta test this product. <br/>

If the program can be changed from 10 to 15 then it sounds like it is just ...

Am I misremembering this game? When I walk forward with my one super stack and attack a moderate sized stack, am I not also forced to engage all adjacent stacks as they rush to join the battle? <br/>

Is the +2 cap on forage owing to other corps applied after you subtract the unused MP or is it applied first such that in your example, you would have +2 for othr corps -2 for unused MP = 0 modifier?

Brad Hunter thanks for typing out the Foraging information. I didn't have time for that.

<t> La Provence the rules do have logistical penalties for large stacks.<br/>
<br/>
1 - We always played with the optional rule that a depot could only supply 4 corp.<br/>
<br/>
2 - For each corp in the area where you finish movement (enemy or friendly) you get a +1 modifier to the die roll to a ...

<t> I also want to say thanks for clarifying the stacking limits as well.<br/>
<br/>
This definitely gives an advantage to the French.<br/>
<br/>
Lets look at this numerically. We will take 14 of the best numerical counters for the collation plus Charles. We will consider the Russians, Prussians ...

<t> Russian Guard.&nbsp; I think your statement is incorrect about the stack limit working in favor of the French.&nbsp; Remember the counter limit is 15 PER major power.&nbsp; So Austria, Prussia, and Russia could stack 45 counters.&nbsp; Lets see Prussia provides supply plus 8 unit counters and ...

Just a thought, but if you add more units, what happens if Japan uses those units to go in a different direction? Even if you just increase number of units by breaking down the strength of existing units you increase the total number and thus provide more flexability to Japan.
