I'd also like to play with next patch for 2 bug that I really hate:
-The one why we created the house rule
-THe one were a depot that was in supply in a conquered province becomes a supply souirce if the supply chain is broken! (this one no house rule can take care of!)
Thats a good point. So we should probably hold off for the patch to start a really long term game.
Okay, I will have my turn out tonight. This means that you can all do this turn and then send out the next one. I should be home by Sunday evening and can then do my next turn and send it in the same night (I think). Monday morning at the latest.

I'd like in on the next one too... I like using Bonaparte difficulty as far as the attrition goes (and I believe it's supposed to be the most realistic). The other pbem seems a bit too tough for France, and I think this is a pretty good scenario for pbem (I'm rethinking the email I sent you Franck). It is inevitable that everyone will start off watching France's every move and waiting for a chance to hit them hard, even if it's a scenario where France is weak. Also, some scenarios the player won't even get Napoleon, and others like 1796 he has more limited stats (not sure if he gains them later, doubt it though) such as Heroic Leader which is hugely important.
Ironically the most glaring bug for me is support orders not working. I would think it would affect the smaller allies trying to coordinate attacks on France more than it does me, but oddly noone else seems to see it as a problem.
The supply stuff i still dont agree with the majority on. I have a bad feeling it's going to be even more comically unrealistic in the next patch, but I insist on someone else taking a turn as France next time, so it won't be my problem. Whoever it is, good luck taking two steps out of France. [:D]
Ok well maybe not insist... I admit that I DO enjoy playing as France/Napoleon. [;)]
Thanks IronWarrior.
I am interested in playing a game covering a longer time span too. So I would have to say I am interested. But I am actually testing this game for a group of friends who are interested, and hope to be playing with them once the first patch comes out.
But if I haven't pissed anyone off too much, I would probably be up for another game with you all.

I would be happy to take a crack at France in the next game, and would bid high for the right.
As far as support orders not working correctly, I have never used them, so I dont know how they are supposed to work.
As far as scenarios go I really believe the 1805 scenarios are the best. I think playing 1805 economic challenge highest glory maximum time with an agreed upon march attrition rate and throwing in a coopted bidding system, maybe from Empire in Arms or some other game where unbalanced powers are bidded for would be the best.
Excuse my English ... I hope is better then Your Czech ...

I'm not sure I aready played turn 16 but I believe I didn't. I don't have time to play and I'm going camping until monday. I'll send the turn when I get back (I don't know when on monday).
You know, when I was young, I didn't mind battling against my friends around a table for some reason. But as I grow older, I hate it all the more. I hate battling guys who I think are nice people. It must be so much easier when you're doing this for real and hate your opponents. LOL I am sure there was no love lost between Napoleon and his enemies. But I think we all like each other. Not much fun beating (or trying to beat) friends anymore.
Well, I hope everyone just has fun as the shot hits the fan. LOL
P.S. Sweden Turn 16 in.

Sweden had planned NOTHING but defensive actions and staged defensive games to determine her viability in the face of a Russian onslaught. Games which had gone well, demonstrated our ability to survive well. We had again and again talked of the necessity of defensive actions and preparations. After being SURROUNDED by a major power with a mobilization limit FOUR times her own, Sweden moved to a strategy which would gain it 2-3 minor German states and would have been happy to settle with this equilibrium. As a result of our peaceful and defensive actions, Sweden is now at war with FOUR central European nations--all of them fellow Christian monarchies.
Again, Sweden DEMANDS immediate talks with Britain for FULL reparations for the TOTALLY illegal damage to her naval forces in the Sound, located between Sweden and Denmark during operations to support our annexation of Mecklenburg which no one had any legal claim to at that point.

Mus I think the above is an attempt at Humour by B2 ... I certainly hope so! as I personally would take extreme umbrage at the implied accusation of being a Christian.
Everything here is in humor. It's the only way to play these games.
I would be willing to consider Russia any religion its ruler, Peter the Terrible, Tsar and Autocrat of all the Russias deems it to be.
