Turns

[sol_invictus]

I have seen that turns are monthly and seasonal and am a bit confused. So which is it? I am very familiar with War and Peace; classic game; but EiA came out after my college days and therefore my massive gaming days, so I never was able to play it. I still have my copy of WaP and also a friends copy of EiA but we could never get together to play it. Needless to say, we are both very excited about the computer version coming out soon and I look forward to crossing swords with some other boardgame veterans that are around here. It should be a blast.

ARINVALD,

To answer yor question. Every turn is one month in length, with an economic phase every quarter. It is the months of December, January, and February that are concidered the "winter" season. It is during winter that a +2 (not good) is added to your forage roll for every corp. The only way to avoid this is to pay for supply and yet again during the winter months supply costs are doubled.
If you are looking to join an existing email version of EIA please feel free to contact me and I will put you in touch with the person running our game.
I still have my old version of WaP as well but I have found that EIA is better at least in my opinion.

Thanks for the response Martinb. I can't join a PBEM game now but when this new game comes out definately keep me in mind as I think I will be addicted.
