Unfortunately, I don't think the new rail conversion rules are working quite right. :( Playing as the CP, I noticed that after the Early August turn, every Belgian province I had moved through had their rail converted, not just those which had friendly corps in them (& none of the corps that did the...

Excellent to hear, thanks!

I've encountered what I think is a bug with initiative in the army-by-army activation mode. I have an autosave file from the start of the Sept. 1914 turn. When I load it, it is the 'swap turn' phase - I 'won' the initiative roll, so I'm scheduled to go first. However, as soon as I unpause the game, ...

Excellent stuff, calvinus! I hate to ask, but could you give a small hint on when 1.06b might be ready?

Johnny Canuck

And what if in case of a stack where both Inf and Cav are present?? :wacko: Would it be possible to just check whether one Inf Corps is present? If yes - convert; if no - don't convert. Thus the presence of Cav would not be factored into the equation. For Russia, we already have the additional MP c...

Cool, thanks!

I don't know if these have been mentioned before, but I have a few suggestions regarding how the AI uses its events: 1. Several times, I've seen the AI play an event that gives a bonus to Combat Doctrines research in August 1914 for two turns. My understanding is that Combat Doctrines can only be re...

I like this idea (presuming you meant 'each turn' instead of 'each Interphase' in #2 ;) ), but have a few thoughts: 1. With this scheme, I would suggest removing the ability of cavalry corps to convert rails. This reflects the fact that the existing system already penalizes cavalry corps in rail con...

I've been looking through the leaders.csv file, to get a handle on what potential leaders I might get, and I think I understand most of the column headings. However, I do have a few questions: 1. Is 'Limogeage' the Sacking value? 2. What do the 'Reserve', 'Initiative', and 'Combination' columns repr...

I do not know and I may ( :p apy :o f course :p apy :) be wrong, but maybe as the rule stands now, it allows to a corps to advance, engage the enemy, WIN a battle, occupy the region AND convert the rails (not bad, IMHO). The behavior noted by Aphrodite Mae may be difficult to erradicate without cha...

And is it REALLY needed on the WESTERN front, specially in a corps-level game as WW1 , and one were due to other rules the armies will get static much of the time ?? Why was it not abstracted the presence of engineers in the army/corps automatically doing "simple" bridge repairs, if I may ask ?? Re...

Johnny Canuck

Rails are not convered after the move, but during the move. It means when you enter an area whose rails (if present) are to be converted, the conversion is done and the additional MP(s) are spent. So you suggest you to make things worse, not better. ;) What I was thinking was that rails be converte...

Johnny Canuck

I wonder if it might be easier to approach rail conversion a bit differently - still keep the MP cost, but have it applied before movement, not after. In other words, you can only convert rails in a province that starts with a unit in it. If so, you then press the convert button for the appropriate ...

Regarding the delay of A-H, there were a couple of reasons that have been advanced: 1. The initial opposition of Tisza, the Hungarian Prime Minister, to any annexation of Serbian territory - his preferred course of action was a diplomatic offensive designed to isolate Serbia from the rest of the Bal...

Johnny Canuck

Mmh.. I don't agree... You have simply to leave some dummy corps behind your lines, garrisoning the rail tracks that will be so automatically converted at the end of Nov.-Dec. 1914 turn. The core of the German Army can instead advance at normal speed. :) You're quite right that converting the rail ...

Johnny Canuck

You move faster, but you haven't "good" units in reserve... other ideas? :blink: True, but having the artillery in reserve may be useful (i.e doesn't slow down detachments of the army, but can be used by the detachments if they encounter opposition). The rail is converted in all crossed areas. Rail...

I've been playing with the v1.06a demo of this remarkable game, and have a few questions: 1. Is there a way to review the stipulations of an opponents war plan after the initial war plans phase? For example, when I get to the regular August military phase as the CP, I wanted to check just what the F...

IIRC, Pocus mentioned in a thread a while back that you can only build forts in provinces that have at least a level 1 city in them.

Johnny Canuck

Thanks for the clarification, Stonewall - that makes quite a bit of sense. However, it does raise another question (if you don't mind yet another ;) ). You mentioned above that some leader attributes operate on unit level, such as entrencher. Does this mean that Longstreet's entrencher attribute is ...

If you look in this subforum, a group of players is trying a 6-player PBEM game (commanders in the West & East, plus the 'President' in charge of economics, politics, etc.).

I think I am still a bit murky about the difference between a unit & a stack. What would the impact of a sharpshooter element in a corps/independent command with no divisions (let's say it has three brigades, an artillery battery, & a sharpshooter element)?

Johnny Canuck

Sharpshooter gives the unit its assigned to an initiative bonus, meaning that its more likely to get off the first shot. Its a massive advantage to have your divisions equipped with sharpshooters. Especially when the enemy's aren't. So if you have a corps with, say, three divisions, each division s...

I actually find myself having to buy far away units, like the Georgians and the SC/NCers because I can control their arrival at the front line. All it takes is some rail action and they're exactly where I want them the next turn. But these guys that spawn the front-line states, those guys I have a ...

You would suggest that, wouldn't you?

Regarding the Artillerist trait, I notice that the description of it does not mention anything about the leader being in command of the stack. Does that mean that all artillery in a stack will benefit from the artillerist trait even if the artillerist leader is not the commander of the stack? For ex...

IIRC I heard somewhere that what you receive from your blockade runners depends on which stockpile is the lowest (i.e. if you are almost out of money your blockade runners will bring in mostly money, etc.).

Do you have any scholarly support for this rather startling assertion? "Palmerston waited for one more decisive battle as the signal to proceed with the French and the Russians. It was Gladstone's misfortune to be caught publicly out on a limb when that battle - Antietam, September 17, 1862 - prove...

My point was that there would have been no military intervention based on simple Confederate progress or the lack of Union success in putting down the rebellion. Without an overt Union provocation there was no way in hell England would have spilled blood. That's not quite true. In the summer of 186...

chance don't increase as time passes. Chance can be reduced if you have a big war supply stock, but that's it. 1. Each industrialization level give you a certain number of try. 2. For each try, a city is picked in the state, probability tied to the city size. A city can't be choosen twice. 3. The c...
