PBEM 109

[Mus]

ORIGINAL: IronWarrior

One of my games is nearing completion, and I'd like to try another game with RG's mod once the next patch is out.

Maybe we could insert a general in the mod that appears turn 2 named Russian Guard that could be immediately removed by treaty so you can quickly tell if everything is working/setup correctly.

I might be interested in that case...

[;)]

Anyways, sorry to bail guys, but I am fairly sure about it. Only reason I had signed on for another PBEM as Britain was it was all generals.

If you need me to do a few more turns I could, but I think most of you will agree the game is coming to a head soon and maybe better to get the new guy in and do some diplomacy before it goes any further.

If the replacement has any questions have him PM me.

Too bad to see you go Mus

[IronWarrior]

I guess I'll wait to merge this turn until we find a new GB then?

...or you can just sit on the completed turn-whatever is easiest.

It looks like it is official that Mus is pulling out. It is time to look for the replacement-assuming we are continuing.

Have you heard from Mattto?

[Mus]

If you want my opinion, I think you should back up a couple turns before the Spanish Portugese war. Turn 42 maybe, I can't recall exactly.

That war was undertaken based on a verbal agreement between me and Ironwarrior. It wouldn't have happened otherwise and I think Spain is unfairly disadvantaged if negotiations with the new British player don't go through.

[aprezto]

There is one rather major problem here though gents. We have written down our long term goals and while we've not looked at each other's posts, I am sure Mus' replacement will have...

HiHi

If it helps keep your game rolling I'll stand in for Mus untill you find a replacement, I have a lot of games on myself at the moment but hate to see a game stall.

Word of Warning though, Mus and I have very different ways of playing CoG and I while I would hope not to have to do anything dramatic untill relieved, I would insist on playing England as I saw fit, but hopefully very low key so as not to drop your replacement in dung so to speak.

PS Apretzo I did start reading the various AARs but have not seen any now for probably a year or so in game terms.

So if you Chaps feel thats a good way to go, send me the 1st french turn .rep & .sve and the last turn files, Oh, and please spell out in foolproof terms (me being the fool) just what House rules you may have up for this game, and I'll give it a go.

All the Best
Peter

HiHi

Yer, to set up the game paramiters, otherwise I'll need the last turn & a password from Mus.

All the Best
Peter

[IronWarrior]

Outstanding Peter, thanks for helping us out! I don't have the password, but I'll pm Mus for it.

[Mus]

Sent my PW to Peter.

Have fun guys.

If an all generals RG's mod game gets going post patch count me in, but again I suggest a control general appearing turn 2 to confirm everything is on the level.

[;)]

[Kingmaker]

HiHi

OK Chaps Mus sent password and I can access the game (would have needed the orriginal french set up file I think [&:] if we had to default the password, anyhow not needed now)

BUT, [:(] fraid it will be late afternoon/tonight before I can get to do the turn so hang on in there please will be with you ASAP.

Bill if you should find someone else before then drop me an email, Cheers.

All the Best
Peter

[Kingmaker]

HiHi

England T45 sent in.

PS assuming this is a 1792 start then it seems to me (but I may be wrong) that this games Generals have been Modded as some English & Spanish Generals are showing different Rateings/abilities.

All the Best
Peter

[IronWarrior]

Weird. I am making a guess here, but it sounds like those of us that started with the mod had our starting generals changed. Also because all of us didn't have the mod, the new generals aren't showing up. This might lead to an unfair/unbalanced game.

Between this and aprezto's point that anyone new may have knowledge from AAR's, I'm starting to think this game might be doomed.

GG? [:(]

[Anthropoid]

Hey thanks for jumping in Peter!

[06 Maestro]

Hmm-this sis an interesting development. I had forgotten about the "fame" changes. My big guy Selim, has a 100 something fame-IIRC in stock, he has a 400 fame. I will confirm this in an an hour or so.

[06 Maestro]

The only difference in stats for Turkey is the "base" number. The modded numbers are generally much lower than stock. Also importantly, Turkey still has only 9 general when it should have 10. In the stock version it would have started at ten and soon be eleven.

Turkey's turn 45 is in. However, unless we can get this game straightened out, I do not see continuing it for very long.

A suggestion; if we do "call" the game, lets take a turn or two so as to get into some positions for massive battles. Let's go out in a blaze of glory rather than a whimper. Perhaps Mus would like to participate in that.[;)]

If you guys do that, count me in.

Interesting observation on the changes to the game IW. I HAD noticed that, which is why I didn't notice the mod wasn't firing on all cylinders until we got to Turn 43 when I was scheduled to get Cotton and Clinton as 1 stars.

Also Boney was supposed to make an appearance T43 and Terje notified me no joy.

Credit all goes to Peter... in more ways than one. [;)]

Well guys I don't really see any way around it so for me I think it's game over, unless anyone has any ideas of a remedy. Otherwise, if you guys want to tear Europe a new one, I'll clear Spain's password and let you have at it. [:D]

I look forward to a new game with the next patch.

[terje439]

Heeeey here I finally have gotten the French economy on its feet and you guys are quitting? I'm the one not reciving the single most important general here [;)]

Anyway, replied anyhow.
