<t> I am a newbie to WitE and am reading both your and your opponent's AAR's. Very interesting, well-written and good maps. Thank you for increasing my interest in this game, as it reminds me strongly of the "monster" board games of the past, especially GDW's "Fire in the East", which I played until ...

<t> I'm new to WitE, just bought it about two weeks ago, finished the tutorial and starting - maybe re-starting - a campaign vs. the AI. Wonderful AAR, loki100, a delight to read and to ponder. Inspiring me to actually start the campaign as well as giving me more insight into the game mechanics ...

<r> I just completed a clean re-install of SOW:Gettysburg 1.5 from the Matrix website, downloaded and installed the 1.6beta patch, the Napoleonic Mod and its associated CSV file, the Random6 map mod and the Large Map mod. Went to the game, it loaded up fine no error messages. At the first screen ...

Ike - Go on over to the "opponents wanted" forum and sign up for Arditi's random game. Sounds to me like you're ready.

Well, I <I><s>[i]</s>may<e>[/i]</e></I> seem ready, but I don't feel like I am. Well ...

<t> New to A.T. and completed only two random scenarios vs. the AI+, using a map with 40% land and towns x 40. I'm not having any trouble in particular as the AI's weaknesses are mentioned in these forums. But, looking at the future with PBEM games against you lads, I'm trying to figure out a good ...

<t> Just to keep the record straight, it is "Ike99" who has posted here and whose exposure to comely women has been questioned as to extent and quality.<br/>

&nbsp;I am the "original Ike" and this is my first post on the thread.&nbsp; My exposure to comely women has never been ...

<r> It may well be possible to construct non-lethal weapons sufficiently powerful to "win" a war. Keep in mind, however, that most nominally "non-lethal" weapons are lethal under circumstances of use other than those ideal for the particular non-lethal weapon; e.g., very close range for "rubber ...

<t> A more reasoned reply is this: massive death and property destruction is what enabled the deep cultural and social changes seen in post-WW2 German and Japan. This is only the most recent example of the phenomenon. The failure of the post-Civil War "Reconstruction" in the U.S. is an example of ...

<t> Yes, I can see it all now.&nbsp; Newspaper headlines, first one:&nbsp; "Non-lethals used in first battle"; second one:&nbsp; "Run on shotguns at all retail outlets; ammunition at an all-time low; defense officials quoted 'Inexplicable!' "; third one ... sorry, can't type it out as it's in Arabic ...

<t> The reason God created other humans to be our opponents in all of these games, gentlemen, is because ... ready? ... "... the AI sucks as much as Fremont as TC."<br/>
<br/>
Best AI can be is training in game rules, interface use, game mechanics compared with our individual notions of strategic ...

Thanks, Doc!&nbsp; [:)]

Thanks, JAMiAM!&nbsp; I found the Kentucky Rule and - I think - the Gulf Squadron/Mississippi River Rule, but unless the&nbsp;Neutral Region Overrun rule Kentucky Rule writ large, I didn't find that one.[:'(]

Gents- you really should try <B><s>[b]</s>Jamiams Kentucky Invasion rule<e>[/b]</e></B>- its clean- easy to follow and hugely fun and frustrating- just like it really was in 1861. ..... Also try the <B><s>[b]</s>Gulf Squadron/Mississippi ...

<r> World War II Mediterranean Naval, including subs, preferably in a sim mod, but I'll take RTS, so long as the individual ships and their respective abilities are portrayed.<br/>

&nbsp;Oh, on PC not a board game.&nbsp; I tried a board game version with the <I><s>[i]</s>Europa<e>[/i ...

<r> So, the answer is:&nbsp; we're not there yet - [:D]&nbsp;- but it's just over the next hill - [;)]&nbsp;- and it will take us as long to get there as it takes [8D]&nbsp;!&nbsp; That's what I told our son and our grandsons when we were driving somewhere on vacation and they became impatient.&nbsp ...

<r> wargamer123, I think there's a lot of potential replay here, using the settings for leaders stats, since the leaders' stats seem in large to be the key to winning or losing.&nbsp; I am on my first game with the AI to learn the interface, etc, but I suspect that with FoW turned on against a human ...

<t> Thanks, Treefrog! I had a longer reply done, but when I went to post, it had timed out on me. [:(] I guess the best choices for PBEM are to "no" or "zero" the various helps, use FoW on, leaders, etc by agreement and some house rule for the "Kentucky Blitz". Semi or Random leaders, I think, and ...

<t> I don't know for sure if this is the right category to post this in, so I'll use this old thread of mine in case it's the wrong place. I was looking over the various game options and reading through the topics on PBEM games and game options, etc, and was trying to get an idea of the most popular ...

Erik: At this time I'm getting a "404 not found" error when I click on the content found in the Members area, specifically, for the Game Depot/Ladder and for the Battle HQ. Both of these are from outside the Matrix site.

<t> Erik: I was getting that yesterday here: Members Club, login; click on Games Depot/Ladder or Battle HQ and got that 404 error. Just now, to be certain, I returned there and those come up with content. Sorry for the false alarm; perhaps my membership hadn't gotten into the system or something ...
