<r> Excellent point Titi- The use of empty cav scout corps seems more prevalant in "secret" games.<br/>
Pippen's cav gambits are always employed by at least one of the 7 in any campaign.<br/>
The Freikorps/Cossack role of scouts is less a factor in Gentleman "public" games that most of us are ...

<t> I could see the Ney gambit as a viable move.<br/>
<br/>
It is legal EiA play but the debate seems to be realism.<br/>
Lafayette and Pulaski were indeed respected, proud leaders back home. But both came to the Continental Army because "that's where the action is" among other reasons.<br/>

<t> There is indeed some tough talk on this topic which is good. [:@]<br/>

Murat - well done, that was a good concise status of the 3-way "pitched battle" we have. <br/>
Comparing the Quest for Public National cards to the Sp. Inq. is a tad over the top. I actually concede that secret ...

Your opinion and choices on the National Cards is appreciated by myself. But I think you would be pulling your hair out trying to campaign in a "traditional" EiA playgroup. <br/>
<br/>
We normally have classroom size dry-erase whiteboard with all Manpower and economic ...

<t> I'm actually hoping Matrix does not offer the public/secret choice on CEiA. I don't want the glorious legacy of EiA tarnished by these so called "options".<br/>
<br/>
It's like what happened to boxing years ago. Now you have the IBF champion, the WBA champ, and the WBC champ.<br/>
<br ...

<t> The National Cards and Purchase Cards are officially public Knowledge. The only thing a EiA player has to work with (as far as bluffing) is the Corp counters. THAT'S WHY ROWLAND IDENTIFIED THEM ON THE BACK. (As opposed to Naval counters) People, you may have played otherwise, but not being able ...

morgansurname and other gamers:

I am an old 80's EiA veteran who will be purchasing the game ASAP. I will be available for competition. Take care everybody!!!
