EAW Ultimate Edition Mod PBEM Game #1

[Ebbingford]

My Ords.
German Army loses Big time in Antwerp why??
I had got 2 breeches and had heavy artillery, numerically 3:1 superiority!

Also in Nancy, major loss. Guess time to stop such offensive unless i have unmatched superiority.

Antwerp forces were level 4 entrenchment and there were 27,000 defenders against 42,000 attackers, not even 2:1.......

[Ebbingford]

British orders. (That was another turn in which I lost artillery, I had 4 and I now have 1.)

Turn 12 posted. I am moving to a new house this week, so turns may be a bit slow, but I'll do my best to keep up 1/day pace.

I'm doing all I can
I am rather hindered by losing artillery from my pool and by having to ship units back to Blighty to refit, hopefully these will be fixed for the next version.

British orders.

@Altaris
I have lost 1NM extra last turn, for no apparent reason. Can you please check once?

@ Ebbingford
Are you by any chance building a lot of new troops?
If so, you will leak artillery like Hell, since your new troops are "infantry armies" and the system/engine prioritises their replenishment, each corps has 2 artillery elements of 36 guns each.
This i have experienced playing 'Russia' the same problem.

[Ebbingford]

The infantry are built without the two artillery elements. You have to buy replacements of light artillery from the F2 screen to fill these. I'm losing artillery from the pool at the top of the screen, before I get a chance to spend it on these replacements.
I don't let the game prioritise where my replacements go, I put the units that I want to get them into passive posture.

See the post in the main mod thread for the reason behind this. It is a bug, and essentially leading to double artillery points having to be spent to fill out field artillery. I've got a few ideas on how to address this, I can fix it one way or the other. Will have a resolution in for next version.

[Altaris]

Still need AUS orders.

[Altaris]

Does somebody else want to run the Austrian orders, since HC seems to be MIA right now?

[Shri]

I will send the Austrian orders soon. If HC doesn't come, i am willing to play - Germany and Austria both.

[Shri]

Austrian Ords. on behalf of HC, if he returns, he will again play Austria.

[Highlandcharge]

Hi guys I've been having internet trouble, should be fixed today, process the turn using Shris orders then I can take over again, I should have the internet back later today :-)

[Altaris]

Turn 13 posted. Sorry for delay, got a lot going on, moving to new house.

[Shri]

@Altaris

Some major issues-
1. Last turn i lost 1 NM due to something called - return to neutral
This turn i have lost 2 NM due to that thing, what is that?

2. The Entire territory of Belgium is English aligned, doesn't the R*** card give me control of Belgium? i do remember playing it early on, this means my supplies are not flowing through to my armies and my army at Antwerp is unable to move despite move orders given in the last turn and is leaking elements every turn.
Can you please fix that? it seems dubious.

Hope for it to be fixed as i cannot post orders without that. It will result in my armies beyond Lilee melting down due to lack of Supplies and AMMO.

The turn is making rolls to go back to the Neutral value.
I think its 5-6 rolls @ the NM you are above. So if its 25 the engine rolls a 100 dice and every roll that is 25 or below triggers a -1NM return to Neutral value.

Losing NM without losing battles seems strange, i guess everyone except the Austrians and Russians are above 100 NM at start of War, so does all of them get it?
Have you guys got it in you Para*** forums game?

[Nostra]

Also is Russia supposed to be able to just play the Genocide right off the bet without even entering Turkish Territory?
He could play it in the newb game on Turn 1 of the Turk Entry into the War.
Seems like a flaw to me no?

Also no State funds raising for the OE or Italy?
Seems strange didnt they mobilize their Population just as much as the rest?

I lost around 5-6 NM in the turns and I think the French got 1-2 NM back if I judged correctly from the Objective Screen.

Looking from my position with the supply filter on it looks like supply moves Ok for you every where apart from through Genth and through Mons. I thought that it was only MC that had any bearing on how much supply moves through a region.
Have you got enough spare rail capacity to move supply?

[Metatron]

Supply only goes through when you got 51% or more MC in a region. Rape of Belgium makes the regions 50/50 MC so you actually need to gain some MC before supply can move through.

[Shri]

@Metatron
Well, if you go back 2 turns, the supply was proper as almost all regions were 100% German controlled due to my cavalry marching up and down and now suddenly i have no control on most of these places!.
Supply was good till about Late September i.e. 3 turns ago. Last 2 turns, low supply and this turn there is hardly any supply as the regions have turned Begian.
They were 100% German till a couple of turns ago.

@ Ebbingford

I have more than enough spare railways, that railway crunch never happened in any of the 12 turns except the first 2 turns or so. It is not a railway issue, it is some other issue.

Russian orders

Altaris, I have a question - I don't seem to be able to build additional infantry despite having both the money, manpower and resources? Am I missing something? Also, what exactly is the cost of a factory? The building decision does not seem to take funds or other resources?

You often do not have Artillery/Officers or both as Russia to build corps. Big Issue, Historical as well, especially if you have purchased officer and Artillery replacements via F2 screen.
Historical (probably best) option is to not purchase replacements and keep throwing more 'Muzhiks' into battle.

I see. Thanks, Shri. Although who says that you need a arty to form a Russian division ? Only Ivan and his handy rifle can do.
