Flashman007

I have BOA and ACW and Wicked Defense. Seriously considering Montjoie. I passed on NCW- did see much point in it as structured (kinda the same reason I never play the ACW scenarios). Will reconsider if they do a grand campaign. Still irritated over the dropping the Web based play. (Yes I know I am b...

Flashman007

I greatly enjoy a PBEM game due to the competitive aspects of playing against a human as well as the more intelligent and imaginitive gameplay that you see. I always feel a bit empty after I win against the computer. I played one partial email ACW game until my oponent quit. While I didn't intend it...

Very sad day. I picked this up from the Wargamer. George McDonald Fraser died yesterday from cancer at age 82. Aside from writing a truely great historical fiction series around the Flashman character, Fraser was the real deal. For anyone interested, I highly recommend his memoirs dealing with his t...

Fair enough- I can make my purchase choices accordingly. I never suspected malice. I recognize that it is all about making choices and establishing priorities for limited resources. The web based play was very enticing and I hope it is eventually produced. It is a priority of mine but apparently I a...

Bis - see the thread in News from Ageod - Play by web portal. This is a drum that needs to be beaten. http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?t=1769 I am optimistic that this format for multiplayer, which was promissed by the company, will greatly improve the multiplayer experience. As it stands n...

Flashman007

Ok- I am sorry to say it is time to ask about this feature again. It has been a couple of months, is there any progress? The lack of progress on the web based multiplayer is the only thing keeping me from purchasing NCP. While I certainly agree that this is a good company that has shown excellent su...

Battlefont.com has a tactical Nappy wargame comming out soon (Histwar).
They have a seven page thread of recommended reading for Nappy fans. Lots of good stuff - some very obscure.

Forgive me but it was a long time ago - I read a book called "Why the South lost the War" or something like that. :siffle: Anyway what sticks in my mind is that according to the author the South had some 350,000 men under arms at the end of the war (this included state malitias and garrisons and suc...

Dan Now, now, don't mistake me for a fanboy. I have been doing my share of bitching and many things here have been fixed for the better. But I am specifically adressing this point about attrition. I am serious -as i recall, when the game first came out, large army stacks would be subjected to random...

Flashman007

I seem to recall way back when, that disease was haveing a much greater adverse impact on Army stacks- I believe the developer toned this down after the community howled. If manpower income was not also toned down this would result in too many men on the board. Unintended consequences? So what you a...

It looks to me that Smith did not use rail movement. Even though you cliked rail and probably got charged the expense it doesn't look like you gained any benefit. This can happen anywhere on the board if you try to use rail where none is availible I think (think rail lines destroyed).

Jagger- Perhaps I did get a little over excited there since as you point out two players can agree to share the info on men and money - it is just easier and more accurate if drafts/volunteers/taxes/bonds would appear on both players logs. Pocus- I am essentially a computer moron so manipulating fil...

Flashman007

Jagger- if you can pull that off I will shut up about web based multiplayer - I think it is a much more significant improvement than being able to see the replay. Pocus- I am aware of my misleading use of the poll ;) , after all there are lies, damn lies and statistics- but it was your poll :p apy:

According to the survey taken here over 50% of the players are interested in Multiplayer in some degree or another. For me, I find that as good as the AI is, it is pathetic when compared to a human opponent. So the developers need to pay more attention to the PBEM. Unfortunately, I think that they k...

Flashman007

Did my learning against the AI but find that as good as the AI is, it is pretty pathetic when compared to playing against a human. Once you play against a human it is very difficult to go back to playing against the AI. I noted the poll showed 50% of the players are interested in multiplayer. This g...

I also see where the old fellow is comming from (wait, I am over 50 so I am allowed to say that). If one follows the boards it would appear that there is a temendous amount of disarray but in fact it is just a work in progress. Do you want a static or living product? I am sometimes discouraged in wh...

LOL - I see what you mean about Bonham. Come to think of it I can't recall reading anything about Bonham whereas Holmes they seem to have gotten about right. I think Edward Johnson just caught my eye because 2** are relatively unusual and his ratings were pretty good. Right about now ole Edward is c...

Edward Johnson just shows up in 1862 as a two star General. Keep in mind I do not have many two star generals - not even Longstreet or Stuart General Johnson is pretty good also - 5-3-3 or 4-3-3 (can't remember). While I am happy to have him I am curious as to why I get him. So I did read up on Goog...

This game got me reading Shelby Foote's civil war... I am no expert but it seemed that both sides gathered a great deal of info by reading the other's newspapers. This brings me to the thought that things like calling volunteers, drafts, partial mobilization etc. should be anounced on the message lo...

Sorry, can't find this and don't really know what to search for.

Select a unit and press the shift key. You will see blue or grey lines radiating from the unit to each adjoining territory. What do the lines signify

vLabz - this feature is DEFINITELY high on my list. I have just spent two days with another player (who is much more computer savy than I) trying to get a pbem started. Haven't got it to work yet. I knew this was not going to be easy despite reassurances from the more intelligent members of this com...

Even though I did not choose price in the survey, I must say that the reasonable price made me more willing to take a chance on BoA in the first place. Now that I have experience with this company I may be willing to pay a bit more but keep in mind your ability to attract new players. The high price...

Flashman007

Woa there son. This definitely should be laid at Ageod's doorstep. From the first post it is stated that it is an Ageod effort. I always envisioned that it was a third party contractor who was setting this up. Now you tell me its just a "fan". Regardless, it is ultimately Ageod's responsibility base...

Flashman007

Gentlemen, Back on March 22, this feature caught my eye and propelled me off the fence and I made the purchase (bought BoA also). Anyway, I am reluctanly making a complaint. It has been quite a while now and you really should get moving on this. The current PBEM looks so cumbersome I really don't wa...

IMO the review of FoF on the Wargamer was ambivalent. I bought Crown of Glory and IMO the tactical battles were very simplistic. IF you wanted to be sure of wining a battle you played it out on the tactical field. As the reviewer pointed out, the novelty of the tactical battles quickly wears off and...

Flashman007

Sounds reasonable to me. I really don't see this changing gameplay, just reducing a little of the micro management and of course enhancing the AI. I really like that divisions will be tied to a General. As it is now, the number of corps per army is already limited (I forget how many). My understandi...

Flashman007

The point, I think, is the ratio. Sure the slaughter of the Union forces may have been appropriate but the almost total lack of damage to the defending forces is unrealistic. Also, as has been repeated many times in different threads the willingness of the AI to continue its ATTACKs in the face of a...

Flashman007

If you read Pocus' introduction to this thread we are not abandoning the command struture and they are not talking about limitless Armies and Divisions. At least that is the way I read it. I don't think the sky is falling. As for this voting business- I am not a big believer in democracy, I prefer a...
