In my game vs that crazy Screamer, its turn 92 with France down to a total of three hexes (the center one is Paris) and I notice that three US Marine Corps have withdrawn. We're playing the latest version and the US are not yet involved...and may never be :D
If/when the US does enter it...
Are allied nations allowed to sail through neutral ports to reach another body of water?
For example, can that Russian Black Sea Fleet sortie into Med?
What raises this question is my EC game where my opponent wants to send those nice French Corps that appeared there to France and get them...
I know that EA is really not meant for an EC game, but we do have quite a few events devoted to EC and I was wondering if one of those event is the removal of the Sitz?
In my EC game versus Screamer, it's mid-October and the Germans have taken Lenningrad and will be attacking Moscow within...
Looks like I just finished one of my two current EA games against Screamer and am now in the market for another.
As I've been mostly playing the Axis side, I'm looking to see how the other half lives.
Anyone?
Note: I'm off to Lake Havasu and the river for the weekend, so I won't be...
Would putting a distance modifier (say +25) on the supply road nw of Malta prevent those units on the island from retreating onto the road?
I've yet to see a unit retreat into those "distance plus" hexes in eastern Russia.
This would then allow the Axis to invade Malta from only the...
Now 61 turns into 3.2 and almost 10 months after the fall of France and still no forts....no low-country forts either.
Also, Russians keep getting replacements popping-up in the mountains south of Grozny and west of Derbent. These units are out of supply and many (about 10 army here). Its...
I "think" I have completed ver 1.2 of Invasion Amerika and wanted to have it tested some before I release it onto the masses. I'm looking for any that want to play a solo game or, better, a PBEM game with someone other than myself.
There have been several big changes with the most notable...
I've almost finished a big re-write of my Invasion Amerika scenario and just freed up about 100 events.
I wish to create a better simulation of the U.S. supply situation based on the losses and re-capturing of territory.
In the prior version, the U.S. started at a level of 100 and rapidly...
Can some please explain in a manner that Forrest Gump would understand the differences between the various support levels (Free, Internal, Army & Force) and under what conditions a certain level would be, or not be, used? :nuts:
It seems we are getting some new blood to EA! As this game takes many of us several attempts before we fully (or close to) grasp the intricacies of this monster, I feel it would behoove us to point out the finer nuances of this game so that time won't be wasted on replayed turns and the like...
Mark, is it possible that with each new version you update the rules and include a detailed list of what has changed or been added with the new version? I'm trying to figure out what is different between the current ver (100.2?) and ver 1.8 :P I've only gotten as far as the new country colors.
My EA game vs Raver may be one for the record books. This game has ebbed and flowed so much, the outcome is far from certain for either player...by far, the best EA game I've yet to play.
Perhaps Jason would like to do some kind of an AAR to get his perspective.
I will summarize what has...
Like most all of you, I've been a bridge blower and a bridge blowee and all I can say is....
I for one will sure be glad when the next version of ACOW has that river/bridge fix.
In the mean time, I noticed on a different scenario a great house rule regarding this that I suggest be used...
Ok you Axis guru's...I have a question.
Is it better to DoW Russia in early (April) '40 with fairly strong units and North Africa (excluding Malta & Gib) under Axis control but <1000 avail HRS.
Or...
Same as above except wait till winter ends '41 and have those extra HRS?
I wish to have some units start on the map in an unmovable state. They will become active if any nme unit moves next to them OR are released by an event that is tied into two random release chances.
Is this possible?
Do I need to have these units start off-map and require the opposing...
Thought I would post a 1939 AAR of my current game vs Tigersqn.
This is a normal EA game start with my taking the Axis pre-builds. I started real aggressive with Germany DoW'n both Poland and Norway on turn 4. German airborne took and held Oslo this turn with the Royal Family fleeing the...
I know there is a quick way to get the number of units available for both sides (i.e Force 1: 250, Force 2: 300)...I just don't know HOW to get this infomation.
Anyone?
I have finally put the finishing touches on ver 1.1 of Invasion Amerika. The scenario underwent a pretty big face lift, OOB/TOE still isn't where I'd like it to be, but time contstraints keep me from that goal.
I do need some playtesters to make sure it's bug free before I upload it...
