I apologize for the forum reply issue. I just don't have the time. I cannot reply to all the posts BUT I do read them all! I understand your points but please understand that we're working some serious hours getting this thing ready! Ive said a few times before that I'll probably never be able respond to the posts enough to make you (or me) happy BUT I promise I'll keep trying!

I'm not ignoring you! I am listening!

You should know that I'm playing almost 10 different games right now (Me as Russia, Me as Turkey, etc.) just trying to break this thing. development is done. We're testing and debugging. Hang in there!

Thank you

For calqulation purposes...

Le Tondu, those are ALL available troops at the beginning of the war 1805.

Normaly the battle at Austerlitz etc is about

75i 15c 15g (France)
35i 12c (French allies)

45i 10c 8g (Austria)
35i 12c 8g (Prussia)
55i 8c 8g (Russia)

Then the leaders, morale and tactics in the actual battle decides the losses.

Enjoy!

No apologies necessary...the concern wasn't so much about lack of posts or even when the game will be released, just if we are close to a point that some AAR's could be posted...hopefully we'll see a realized vision of this game, like the WaW AAR's, which will help promote the game and sate our appetite for what's to come....

Hey guys:

We're only exporting the corps strengths as they are in the EiA game (Along with weather ,terrain, leaders, morale, etc.) I must admit that I'm not too familiar with popular miniature systems BUT took a shot at exporting elements available to me that I thought could be easily adapted to a miniature system. We can look at strength conversions BUT honestly this is a low priority UNTIL we get released!

Let us crawl before we walk!

I've includeed a sample EiA battle file as the game generates it below:
