I think this issue of logistic has evolved in time. From memory the US army use to have 3 non combating soldier for 1 combating in the WW2, and the ratio today is close to 10 to 1 (numbers from memory so forgive me if this is not the actual numbers). At this time I believe the ratio would have been...
I tried to download three times yesterday from work. I ended up aborting all three attempts. Although I was on a very high-speed line, the download rate was so slow that it would have taken 8-10 hours to complete the download. Also, yesterday evening from home, this website was slow as could be. I w...
I think this is modelled well. Supply during this timeframe was difficult -- if anything, I think there is too much supply. I have yet to have a major army in difficult circumstances due to supply, but it was a constant problem for both the Americans and the British. When I was in the military, ther...
Yep, and maybe a nice interface that offers you the choice of surrendering (with honor of war promised) when beseiged or hopelessly outnumbered in open combat. Take your chances....
Interesting concept, but tricky to implement in a historical fashion. Remember, Burgoyne surrended at Saratoga with over 5800 British and German troops. Well, in fact, it was not a surrender but a "convention." The convention being that the troops would be allowed to return to Europe and not come ba...
improving the sound track is not the most difficult task anyway. For the music, either we get more bucks in the next project to have more, or we add historical and free military marches. I could go for the later! Some historical time period appropriate songs would be nice. Maybe a stirring renditio...
I don't want to sound like a nitpicker, but is there any way to change the sprite for Dunmore's Ethiopians to an African American man, seeing as how they were recruited among freed slaves? There weren't necessarily free prior to joining. Dunmore, the loyalist Governor of Virginia, offered freedom t...
NYC was not fortified, so if overpowered the AI prefer to retreat (and live another day). Just my guess, as I dont have the save. It isn't fortified in the game, but it was heavily fortified prior to and during the Revolution. There were several robust forts and batteries around the city to control...
...But both armies were in the same province and were moving to an adjacent province in Conn., during the summer months. There was a 3 day delay that allowed the Brits to defeat both armies seperately. I disagree that the lack of coordination under those circumstances is historically accurate. We'r...
Not only is this a game problem, it is a real life problem too. Coordinating units, especially during the time frame of this game, is an extaordinarily difficult proposition.
As far as I can tell, when you have a unit "inside" a structure -- what you describe will happen. However, if they are outside of the structure, they will remain visible.
I did not see it sooner, as here in Kansas we have had very bad weather today. Several tornadoes in my area. My internet connection has been up and down all day.
That would ask for a tremendous work, as the strings length are calibrated to fit in the various game windows, and they cant be expanded (its a graphical 2D interface, so all graphics are made by hand by our artists) And the interface is elegant indeed! One note....for your "future" games. Decide w...
funny how most of people in democratie refuse their full responsability in the action of their government. So far it's people of america who have reelected Bush, samething in France with chirac or here with Charest. It's the purpose of the armerican revolution isn't it. A government for the people,...
Jarhead, I doubt it "sprang up" out of no where. Meaning, it did not materialize out of no where. My guess is that it was always lurking in the hinterland you did not control. Norwich is not such an unimportant city. Quite a few rebel reinforcements show up there. What you are experiencing is a good...
To be fair with the American generals on that fateful night of 31st Dec 1775, they had two or three compelling motives for launching the assault... - Most of their men enlistment terms were over by end of the year - Their troops were short on supplies and affected by smallpox - Being outnumbered, t...
Because british only have to entrench all their units in Quebec isn't it? Sounds pretty historical to me. Let's see....Arnold's troops were starving and deserting by the droves. They camped outside of Quebec, but the Brits in garrison easily outnumbered them. Montgomery came from Montreal to reinfo...
I hope you don't think guys could be "bad" only because they are French... :8o: Altertag, I am very confident that was a joke. A jibe. I don't think he was trying to be offensive at all. The world situation being what it is, issues among and between Governments can overshadow or color the relations...
Wow. I have to say I am a little disappointed here. Over 140 views and only three volunteers? :p leure: Guernica and Bill; let's give this a few more days. If I am reading the posts correctly, Guernica is East Coast USA (?), Bill is in Quebec, and I am in Kansas. I guess my call for an oppenent from...
Pocus, I downloaded and installed 1.03, and did it again after the latest change. I went to play a 1.02 based 1775 scenario and had a fatal error. During the turn, when combat occured, instead of the "speedometer" with the arrow showing who was winning being displayed the final combat results templa...
bill, and other Frenchies..... I should clarify one thing, I have a long standing score to settle with someone French. Some 20+ years ago I was a young Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. I got sent to Europe for two weeks to be a referee on some NATO exercise. As luck would have it, I was sent to Belgium ...
Added my 2 cents to your thread Donan. I see no good reason for locking that thread while other similar threads remain open, except that they are afraid of the competition. Perhaps. But I think it goes a bit farther. They seem to tolerate other threads about their competition, so why squash the BoA...
