Sign-up post for anyone interested in playing in a PBEM of the EAW Ultimate Edition Mod (see this post for download instructions). As a reminder, this is the first release of the mod, and likely to have some balancing issues in the later game. So this will likely be a 1914 to mid-1915/early-1916 game.

Looking for 5-6 players. If there are 6, it may be some turns before there's anything to do, as ITA/TUR/USA doesn't join immediately.

I will host the games, but prefer not to participate as a player. I will provide some hints and tips as needed.

Players:
Lindi - France
Shri - Germany
HighlandCharge - Austria
Tomtein - Russia
Ebbignford - Britain

Let's start with these, and keep other players in the wings for when other powers join!

Turn 13: [ATTACH=CONFIG]34270[/ATTACH][ATTACH]34326[/ATTACH]

Because the post already here "http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?39844-EAW-ultimate-enhancement-mod-pbem", and already up to play ^^.

If you accept, and playeur to other post accept, you have already a french, Germany and Austrians

me 1er french

Ready for
Germany- 1st Choice
Russia- 2nd Choice
Austria- Reserve Choice.

Ben do let me know, thanks.

For me its....

1st Austria
2nd British
3rd Russia
4th French

Also if nobody is found to take the Turk's when they enter the war, I will be happy to play them Plus the Austrians...

Really looking forward to getting this game going guys, I believe this mod will make this game a real classic :-)

Thank you for your hard work Altaris....

I'll gladly try it:

1st Germany
2nd Russia
3rd Austria

I'll take Britain if it's still available please.

I'd have two people willing to play Italy and Ottomans, respectively, should they be required.

We already have 7 players, BEN i guess you can start sending the .HST.

BTW-
Is the Fort Trench setting same as when we tested?

If we got one more person willing to play the USA should it come to their entrance, this will be a full house. Nice.

France
England
Italy

There is a long long war of 1914, 1915 and 1916 and maybe even 1917 before the USA player comes in.
Anyway by the time he comes, Russia will be dying, so Russian can take over as USA.

I guess we have the following players ready-
Lindi- French
Highland- Austria
Myself (SHRI) - Russia
Ebbingford - UK
Tomtein and Alabama Joe have also expressed interest mainly in Majors of CP and WE.
OWL's guys- Italy and Ottomans.

So, we have more than a FULL HOUSE here. If Ben can send the .hst, we can start i guess.
Enough players to spill over to the 2nd PBEM also.

Here is the prospective Italy player by the way. I don't know how you want to send the turn files in the future, so I'm putting it out there in case you wanna do it via PM.

Mod installed and ready to go

Turn 1 orders posted in the first post of this thread, and player list updated in the same post. Please submit appropriate orders on this thread, and I will process.

French order[ATTACH]33997[/ATTACH]

Hey BEN, is that a late July turn, if so- WAR PLANS are disabled, is something wrong? or was this intentional?

IF so, my ords attached. GERMANY.

Hi Shri, I fired the up mod last night, the warplans are not available through the ledger but if you click the "preparing for war" event in the message box, the the warplans pop up and you can choose one there :-)

P.s I will reply to your PM later when I get back from work, I'm looking forward to discussing strategy's with you....

Here are the British orders if you need them, nothing to do for me this turn though, I'm not active yet.

HC is right, the F3 screen is no longer used, just click on the message in the message panel and you can select the plan from there. I'll make note to remove the F3 screen so it's not confusing for next release. Feel free to modify your orders and resubmit them here if you want, I'll be going to work shortly so it'll be 9-10 hours before I can run the turn anyway.

I guess default is "Schlieffen" and anyway i don't see why i shouldn't play Schlieffen esp. with the 7 day work cycle!. Mind you, the 7 day cycle makes the German advance more feasible and Schlieffen the best plan possible.

Russland bereit

Turn 2 uploaded to first post of the thread. Looks like everyone went with historical warplans! Please keep an eye out for messages indicating mandatory attacks, each nation will have certain attacks they must perform in various August turns (Germany/Austria on this turn, France next turn, Russia the turn after that). The messages will tell you how many elements you have to commit to the attack and the circumstances, be sure to do so or you'll get a nasty NM hit!

Also, make note that forts of lvl 2 or higher cannot be assaulted without breaching them first. So Liege in particular needs to be handled carefully. Shri, make sure to send the 2nd Army to Liege this turn (or at least the super heavy artillery and some Munitions trains with a corps or two). Next turn, you can set the stack to Red/Red posture and use the Bombard Forts RGD to assault it, but no more taking it with direct assault on Turn 1. The 1st Army can either go to LIege with the 2nd Army, or you can send it down towards Bastogne and towards Namur from there.

Good luck gents!

Here are the British turn 2 orders

Thanks Ben.
CP needs a good amount of luck in 1914, CP starts the war with a 16% deficit in combat power, 50% deficit in VP and a massive 250% in Navy.
In addition, the Blockades and the Austrian crappy decisions post 1/1/1916 mean the CP has between 12-15 months window in 1914-1915 wherein to get a lead or else lose.

The German army marches on and Ludendorff demands the surrender of LIEGE on an urgent basis, if not he will give those doors of Liege a good spanking with his staff stick.

Still need Russian orders

Russia, any problems? can one of the other interested ones - Alabama Joe, Owl etc take up the Russian challenge and continue?
After all the first turn all Russian armies were locked, so nothing wrong so far.

tomtein has only been gone for a day though, right? Maybe he will turn up any moment!
