You need to find someone with a copy of The General, Issue 26-6, and flip to page 27.

An unpunched game just sold on eBay for $86. I thought that was a pretty good deal but I was not around when the bidding ended so missed it.

Does anyone have a link to one of the Cyberboard sites?

Hi

I'm also looking right now for a copy. Had one back in the day, but it got misplaced.

What we did with that copy; take the force cards and blow them up to 11x17 size, and use mat-tack, clear of course. Then use grease pencils to keep track of # of units in each corp. tey can be mounted on the wall saving table space.
We also covered the board, I think we used mat-tac again and made it one map that could be rolled up.

The counter do take a kicking, especially the battle chits.

If anyone sees a copy on ebay, let me know, I have 5 friends locally I want to introduce to the game.

Here's my 2 cents worth.

For our group we got a copy of the games pieces from the yahoo group, printed them in colour and stuck to card etc. Then printed a colour copy of the map (its also avaliable as a downloadable file).

We then stuck the map to some blueboard (styrofoam) and stuck that to the wall....then bought a heap of coloured sewing pins and pin the counters to the map.

works well if you have a spare wall....no one can bump the board....doesn't take up all your table space...so you can take breaks without having to pack it up...etc....etc...

What our group does/did is laminate all the individual country sheets and then use fine tip dry erase markers to write on them. As well, we laminated the two maps. If you have a problem finding a place to laminate the maps (like we did) try going to a teacher's supply store, they usually have the set up to do unusual sizes like that.

So who exactly do you guys play with? I find it hard to find anyone interested in playing?

There is a bigger problem I think....

I've got a couple of players at hand. We're 5 guys always searching for new peope because:
- EiA ist pretty overwhelming for a new player
- All the things you have to think of...

Most of the new players quit after about 1 in-game-year.

And THAT'S annoying!
Just finished beating the heck out of the French... 2 players quit! Just got the Ottomans.... 2 Players quit! AAAARGH!

Finding players isn't the big deal! But keeping them!

Your right, it is difficult to get people to stay committed to the game, but it is also difficult getting people who will commit the massive amount of time to play. Especially when you have people who like to spend large amounts of time in the diplomatic phase. That is why I am so looking forward to CEia so I can finally see a game go beyond the first few game years.
