The Russians handed Corfu over to the French under the terms of the treaty of Tilsit. The French occupied Corfu from 1807-1814<br/>

The British occupied most of the rest of the Ionian islands but blockaded / beseiged Corfu. They didn't try to ...

<t> Totally agree.<br/>

If you're going to post AARs it helps if they show how good the game is not how incompetent the AI is. Attacking at less than 1:1 odds into a mountain pass is not smart from any AI in any game. OK this might just be a "forced" example but it doesn't engender much ...

Well, I'm just disappointed it didn't release on November 9, the 208 anniversary of the Brumaire coup. [:'(]<br/>

Funny... that is the best I could come up with, Napoleon-wise in November. Of course, winter fighting is pretty ...

The biggest problem in all startegy games is that the players "cheat". Not by breaking the rules (although some will do that[&:]) but by exploiting the rules. If an ...

Harpoon Classic Commander's Edition: fb.asp?m=1138872

<t> I never really liked Harpoon 2 / 3 but was a huge fan of the bigger fleet battles possible with Harpoon Classic.<br/>

I know that Matrix have indicated that they will be puiblishing Harpoon Classic 2005 Ce on other websites and have made passing refeences to it here. But all the hype ...

<t> I don't believe fear of a counter move in special tech is going to stop people from specialising. The boost you can get from leaping a couple (or even three) points ahead is always going to be worth it, particularly if the cost to respond is prohibitive (eg Russia)<br/>

Rather than ...

I'm kind of confused Ravinhood? You bought the game anyway?

<br/>
Besides - I thought the topic in this thread was to complain ...

Also because 1805 marks the start of the Napoleonic Wars proper after the Peace of Amiens from 1802-1804. Most people call the period from 1789-1802 the Revolutionary Wars (at least in Europe where confusion with the American War of Independence is not a big issue).

No [:(]

Although if Matrix ever get round to releasing Empires in Arms that will be the business.

Wish someone would computer convert the old Victory Games title "The Civil War". That was possibly my favourite pre WW2 board game.

<t> Hmmmmm..... I understand Les's point about some gamers not requiring fancy graphics. But I don't think this market is very large. TOAW is an example of a game where the graphical version was almost unplayable with the "plastic soldier" look. It was hard enough when using symbols!<br/>

Keep one thing in mind though: CD/DVD discs have a considerable shorter shelf life than VCR tapes. So make backups of the discs every 5 years or so. And keep them dark...

Les - admit it - you just used the wrong word!

<t> It's all very well complaining that you don't get the games that you want - its a market driven world. <br/>

You'll get many more impulse buys if you do "Battle of the Bulge", "Gettysberg", Pacific War than if you do Alexander the great (although wait for the RTS film tie-in [>:]).<br ...
