Also, until (I think) 1916, the Entente powers cannot build heavy artillery, though the Confederates are given some heavy artillery through events. In the war in our timeline, it was 1916 before the allies had heavy artillery in any real numbers on the western front.

I may change that though, as it seems to keep the Entente nations (save the CSA) from being able to launch any sort of offensives at all (you all don't seem to like field artillery much).

Scott, there just isn't enough industrial capacity to launch any offensives that will be worth anything without heavy artillery.

I agree, my early successes as the Confederates were due to my use of heavy artillery. Without veteren Heavy Artillery, it's really nearly impossible to take a walled, reasonably well defended city, which along with most of the events and industrial capacity give the Central Powers a big advantage (not that I'm saying they shouldn't have any). I suppose the limited effects of artillery is probably somewhat realistic given the scale WWI was fought on, but if that were to be recreated accurately, it would be one of the most boring scenarioes, as barely anything would ever change.
The field artillery works fine for picking off units outside of cities...eventually, but is really marginally effective for use against cities. The only chance we ever really have to get cities is to take back our own that were just taken before enemy troops have time to dig in and have enough defenders sit in to make it impossible, at least in my experience.

I am considering giving the allies heavy artillery in events (for offensives like Artois) instead of field artillery. This would likely correct the "total paralysis" thing withou deviating too much from history.

unable to post save...annoyed

EDIT: Okay, I uploaded the file, since after many tries I've been unable to post it, I tried and thought I succeed a few days ago, hence part of the delay:

If no one else ( i.e. new to the game) takes it in a couple of days I will take it.

Why thank you Soundwave, and thanks for the hug in the GNB thread. Coincidentally, you haven't seen my wallet by chance have you. I'd swear I just had it.

So, who's taking Britain?
Personally, I see a lot of merit in uniting Britain and France - neither of them amounts to much on their own. (perhaps this is something you can fix in the final version Scott?)

Anyway, Whoever it is that's playing Britain, you're going to need to contact El and get his password before you can play your turn.

That's what I was thinking.

Actually Soundwave, if you want to take both of them i will gladly step back and give way. I have lost my enthusiasm for this game and it is more of a chore for me now. If you want them both I will let you have them.

Okay, it has been about a week since I sent an E-mail to El to get his password and no response. Can someone just take the password off and then send the file to me?

UGH! I missed this thread entirely. I was wondering where it had got to the other day just before my computer crashed altogether.

On the other hand, jimmywax, I only got you email today. I didn't intend to quit this one, I simply forgot about it and as Scott wasn't prodding me I didn't think it was my turn.



I will play directly sirs.

Nothing much happened except that British submarines intercepted forward elements of the American Pacific Fleet off Japan and destroyed them without casualties.

No problem there El, and I was positive I sent you an email. Maybe I tried to and my E-mail screwed up and I just thought it went through.
