You would think that they could change the flag on regions they enter. So at least you could redeploy Brits between regions that they occupy. I realize that there were historical issues between the British and French commands in France.

Thanks! I like the idea a lot. I just couldn't find the button without your kind assistance...

TheDoctorKing

But I think a lot of people miss who the "victors" of the American Civil War were. The victors were, for the most part, racist, powerful wealthy white men, and their interest in historical revisionism was to unite the country by trying to forget the issue of slavery completely and erase black peopl...

And here's another newbie question: I can't seem to redeploy the Brits in the Redeployment Phase. They are mostly in Belgium. Is this an issue? In my current game, it is the beginning of 1915 and we have managed to hold on to a good bit of Belgian territory including Antwerp and Bruxelles - the Germ...

Another newbie question, probably stupid... I can't seem to start a major offensive in the trench warfare phase. What phase does this occur in? Where would I click or what commands would I give to open the planning window described in the manual? I got dinged in one game for not doing it. The game s...

Playing as the Entente in the Grand Campaign game. I have been messing around with this game for a while but there are still many elements that confuse me. One thing: when I detach a corps from the Serbian I army, like for example to create a solid line of corps during the Redeployment phase, I can'...

... though EU3 is oodles better,... No way! I remember buying EU3 with great anticipation, loading up as the Russians (good early choice as they don't have too many options to confuse you), and waiting for Ivan the Terrible. No Ivan? No Michael Romanov? No Peter the Great? The Poles have good kings...

1. Advanced Squad Leader - no better tactical simulation in board gaming.

Militia brigades can be formed by putting two militia regiments together. They still only need one CP, and have a power of 30 at full strength - 27 in another state. That's a reasonable chance of destroying a rail line especially if you are using swarm tactics. Also, they will take military control ...

I notice after a few more turns that the Caucasus units are heading for points far in the interior of Red territory - Perm, Archangel, Kazan. I don't see them deteriorating for lack of supplies - I hope that some traitors in the Red supply service aren't feeding them out the back door :) Now that I ...

OK, there's the save file.

No doubt Phil is right - the minors are subfactions of Germany and since I am at peace with Germany they just march on through me and vice-versa. Something to deal with in the scenario construction.

TheDoctorKing

I decided to try a game of RUS now the new patch has come out. I'm playing the DNO scenario solo as the Reds against the AI. I accepted the German ultimatum to start the game, and crushed the Southern Whites. Now, I have turned on the Transcaucasus. Only problem is, our forces won't fight. The Trans...

I have played the Caesar v Pompey scenario a couple of times from each side, and my evaluation is: Caesar = 2, Pompey = 3. Pompey needs to raise those eastern armies and get good support from the eastern client kings and the Egyptians.

TheDoctorKing

Yes, the politics are hellishly complex. However, RUS managed to make sense of a complex, multi-sided struggle. Makhno and the Anarchists can be allies or enemies of the Reds. The Germans can invade or not (maybe become Red themselves? I'm playing the DNO scenario right now and hoping to provoke a R...

TheDoctorKing

I would think this war would be the centerpiece of the game. Any plans to make this scenario? I see three playable sides, Antony, Octavian, and the Senate, with the possibility of shifting alliances. The Egyptians, Parthians, and Germans might play roles as well. Should be exciting!

TheDoctorKing

I was hoping to have at least a scenario on the Mexican Wars of the Reforma and the French invasion of the 1850s-1860s. The map is the really difficult part. The Exmap utility is confusing and difficult to master and the frustration has led to me set the project aside for long periods twice. But I h...

I haven't given up on the Latin American Wars of Independence project. If I could do a bigger map - all the Americas - it could have scenarios for everything from 1492 to 1850. The maps are truly challenging. I fiddle around with mine from time to time and spent weeks and weeks going back over stuff...

In my game, a large Caesarian army (5 legions commanded by Antony) landed in Africa but the Mauretanians stayed locked. Later, Caesar captured Byzantium and the Galatians and Cappadocians appeared on the map, but their forces were locked in place. I could build units in Ankara, interestingly, but no...

TheDoctorKing

Forgive me if this is a question that has already been answered (a quick glance through the earlier threads didn't tell me anything): In the 50BC scenario, playing Caesar, there are some Mauretanians at the start who are my allies, but they are locked in place for 200 turns or something. Later on, I...

And now I'm back as my old self, thanks to Lodilefty. Thanks to everyone and happy to see you all again.

TheDoctorKing

Thanks! I've been putting in the four "object" locations. The Exmap utility won't let me proceed without doing it. Question: are these the "objects" needed for any of the AGEOD game engines? Because I was planning to use the RUS engine in order to take advantage of the regional decisions and the reg...

So I've been plugging away drawing borders between regions and it occurred to me that I haven't done anything about rivers. I created regions for navigable rivers but there are a lot of non-navigable rivers that form borders between regions. How do I code that in ExMap? Or do I wait until I have a r...

I have won as the Reds both in vanilla and using the Fatal Years mod. In both cases, there were large numbers of Greens running around but I had not lost any significant territories to them. They were absorbing the attention of many thousands of Red troops, though, both as garrisons of towns and as ...

TheDoctorKing

Oh, oh well. I'll just carry on as I have been. It is actually going rather quickly right now.

I might get some regions out of their "normal" order since I create new regions after I get done with the main map. That doesn't appear to be an insuperable obstacle.

I also prefer regions rather than hexes, but both can be envisonned... If you wish, I could do something for you to help you save A LOT of time, which is to produce for you a lot of "regions" of hex-shape with our recent exmap tool, and send the whole thing to you... The good thing is that you can ...

TheDoctorKing

I'm going to use regions. I think that you can depict the operational environment more accurately and also that is what the AGEOD engine is used to dealing with. Have you played the AGEOD WWI game? Its map looks like regions but when you look more closely, each region connects with the six neighbori...

The Lenin Dies event was a bug, that should have been corrected some time ago except that I did not properly install the needed patch. So I went back and did my turn again and the outcome was pretty much the same except no dead Lenin. I tried to do everything the same I had before. We now return you...

TheDoctorKing

I see what you are thinking. I don't want to make much terrain impassable, but to create choke points where any large army will have to pass. I will probably make much of the Amazon impassable, though, and the high Andes except at a few passes where it will be mountains with tracks, allowing passage...
