<t> A lot of the recent answers seem to have in mind a smart british players facing spanish and russian players with barely enough brain cells to keep breathing.<br/>
<br/>
Roads is right on. Spain and Russia share pretty much the same interest - which is having the minor fleets in their hands ...

<t> I can't imagine why any sane french player would do that. It's in France's interest that the Spanish navy be as strong as possible. Same with Russia. If that happens, you have bigger problems to contend with than the survival of these minors fleets, but I just don't see it as likely/<br/>

When you refer to gaining a casus belli, are you refering to the Major Power player who is controlling the Minor? <br/>

Yes, though not in a reference to any optional rules, since I think there are ...

Looking good.

Leader casualties should really be optional, for reasons outlined above.

Apart from that, everything is fine.

As far as I remember -

1805-1815 (Grand Campaign)
1805-1807
1812-1815
1813-1815

The revolutionary war campaign is also from AH, but was added later in an issue of The General.

One thing I love to do when playing vs the same British player in the next game, is to park two corps on Lille, but only have one factor in each. The British player will think for sure you are planning a repeat invasion as the previous game ...

Well I think the wise French player would take Scotland or Wales in the first war. Then land 3 or 4 Corps on the 17 month of enforced peace and have his fleets tucked up in port for the (short) time it takes Nappy to take London and ...

I have seen France with control of the UK. The amount of gold, manpower, and other penalties she can now inflict on everyone else, (e.g. knocking out all trades, etc) is huge. Perhaps you are right in that it does not mean France wins 100 ...

It only takes 3 nations to ally in 1805 to knock out Britain from the get-go. And often just 2 can be enough.<br/>

Your next question is, if that is so then why doesn't everyone do it?<br/>

And my next answer is, because ...

The problem that limited supply creates has been debated for years on the EiH yahoo grooups. So if you're very interested, everything should be still archived there if you want to sort through them all.<br/>

<t> You're way too harsh neverman.<br/>

I agree that it's hard to fathom why stuff like #1 and #10 isn't in the game. Force marching is an interesting element that should be in, but it's hardly a major game altering change. #10 (scuttling) should be in as well but doing away with it will ...

Doing away with 2&3 would majorly affect gameplay in a ftf game, but I think we have to keep in mind that these rules might be hard to use properly depending on how multiplayer interaction is implemented.

4. Besieged port city supply <br/>

This added an interesting tactical element. It's not a game breaking feature, but I don't see why it should be left out<br/>

<t> I've never seen an invasion of Russia that went really deep in. Once Russia was backstabed by it's german allies after a french defeat, with a simultaneous Turkish and British DoW. Obviously there wasn't much the Russian player could do with the quality portion of their armies being trapped in ...

Not that the brits can't provide subsidies anyway.

<r> Do you play with the Gb-Fr mandatory war option? That alone will change many things.<br/>

If you're not playing with that option, your first objective should be the destruction of the british fleet. Without the French to tie them down, the british fleet will hang like a sword of damocles ...
