<t> When Russia declares war on Denmark, and France supports Denmark in the war such that Denmark becomes a French Free State, France should automatically have to declare war on Russia in order to do so.<br/>
<br/>
France wasn't just controlling Denmark, it was supporting it and that means ...

<t> I'm very much enjoying the game but yes, a few bugs do pop up.<br/>
<br/>
France is at war with Spain.<br/>
Denmark is neutral.<br/>
Spain and Russia simultaneously declare war on Denmark.<br/>
France gets control of Denmark and it becomes a French Free State.<br/>
<br/>
All good so far ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Alas we weren't very good at English 25 years ago, as the original rules to EIA will attest. We knew what we meant to say, but we didn't have a clue how to say it. At last even I don't have to worry about the rules anymore.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

That worked the charm.

I also 'ran as administrator', this being a Vista machine.

Thank you.

<t> The game is running but thus far I've encountered two issues:<br/>
<br/>
I get an error message at start stating "Could not write function list" and it shows it twice. The game appears to proceed fine afterwards.<br/>

It will also not save preferences (and there is no way therefore to ...

<t> I'm going to have gripes and complaints. I'll no doubt be lining up to howl demands for patches and changes.<br/>

It is likely only my wild imaginings, but did someone once say that there was an option in computer EiA to resolve battles in miniature? Surely no. That'd be too good.<br/>

Is there any thought to ...

<t> Thanks for the AAR.<br/>

Sadly, it has made me less interested in purchasing the game.<br/>

To see the British running around with land armies besieging Paris and winning and getting a conditional peace out of France in 1805 shows just how broken the game can be.<br/>

It should be noted that on that page, the Historical Period information is off by 100 years.

<t> When one side is beating another (or when it is politically expedient), the losing side can offer a conditional surrender. If the victor accepts it he can enforce one peace condition on the loser (the loser can declare one peace term off the table). The two sides are then in enforced peace for a ...

<t> 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/>
<br/>
One stack can be bypassed. Supporting wings of an army was better in that it gave more ...

<t> I enjoyed Campaigns on the Danube though it had some severe limitations on replayability.<br/>
<br/>
What I liked best about it though was that this operational level game required one to approach the problem of the 'Ulm encirclement' in such a way that I realized that it wasn't a ...

<r> It is an excellent and perhaps critical point that Napoleon thought Blucher a better General than Wellington. Given the difference between Wellington's previous responses to reversals and strategic maneuverings (almost invariably falling back) and Blucher's response to the same things (almost ...

<t> There is a strange benefit to all this psychological balancing that is required. <br/>
<br/>
If I crush Austria too much in year one, the player will likely quit and the game is ruined so..... I need to take his whining and 'immature' playing into account when I look at our 'map of Europe ...

<t> The core feature of EiA as a Napoleonic wargame is that it isn't a wargame. You don't win by conquering Europe and generally at the end of the game the map will look alot like it did at the start.<br/>

Over the course of 120 turns, each of the players is struggling to gain Victory Points ...

<t> A solution to this effect that my playgroups have found on other multi-player games is to set up a system where the winner is not a single player but rather, as the game progresses, players declare their co-winner if they win. In EiA it would have to be someone that the winner is allied to at ...
