Hi, I'd be interested, it's been several months since my last AGE PBEM, and what better than a RUS game for the winter ?

Clear/Prairie/Desert/Steppes, for the ones that matter, if I read the game files right. But if you want to go overboard with frontage limits in anything other than clear terrain, you are certainly facing a most whacky war

If it was simulated in the game, C-ville would definitely be a defensive battle.

My question reframed is, do the game combat tables allow for the possibility of the CSA attacking at 1-1 or less and winning? Yes, but it's hard to pull off if your opponent is savvier than the likes of McClellan and Burnside. The key there is to look for a decisive battle with Lee/Jackson in open ...

Yeah, those massed charges are indeed stuff for legends... For won battles not so much

From an ingame perpective, cavalry was infamous in NCP for suffering extreme losses in battles, even after tweaks intending to lower its chance to get targetted. The way discipline tests for cavalry and infantry squares work made it detrimental to launch charges against all but the weakest infantry ...

I think the current system of committing the guards in NCP is working well - unlike the cavalry vs square mecanism. The most needed change is to increase guard elements size to bring them in line with their regular counterparts, even by merging the smallest ones, unless sending the mamelouks to thei...

Ooops, seems I lack steelwarrior's email as of now. I sent the initial turnsave to burroughs anyway, I'm confident it will soon reach steelwarrior's GQG, one way or another

Burroughs, please send me your email adresse by PM, so I can send your first turn.

EE is the side which looks the most like what we have experienced in previous games, so your adaptation should go well. The game seems not far from mature, if my opinion on it has any value :) I wouldn't trust too much the manual though, he's misleading on some points. Digging into the forum is more...

Ok, Jinx, we are waiting for a third player in place of you then, unless steelwarrior has no problem with one of us playing both Western and Eastern Entente. I wasn't careless updating to 1.02RC2 this time, so I'm able to host the game. I would then use those game settings: [CENTER][ATTACH]32787[/AT...

Well, I could host myself, but I'm unable to find traffic penalty settings. I guess I have no choice but to reinstall the game from scratch *sigh* Anyway, I copypast there the PBEM instructions from the manual, in case you need it. [quote="TEAW Manual"] EAW can be played against one or two...

You don't have to actually play it now, just starting a new game and send initial EE and CP turns to Jinx and me.

I'm interested to play CP, if you want to coordinate the Entente via a common AAR. No preferences regarding rules, as it would be my first TEAW Pbem, I have no clue what works best here.
