I think you'll all agree that this is most inapropiate.
Most propably Jim forgot to put the "fighter" flag on them.

Monoplanes can not attack fighters in flight, that is true and it was intended to be so.

For the early planes of WW1 were light scout planes and the first dogfights used to be fought with a pistol or a light carbine by the co-pilot. Fot those reasons you shall NOT change the rules as these facts were intended.

Palaiologos · October 10, 2003, 04:43

Nilat · October 10, 2003, 08:30

No, steph told me that we will play this playtest witht he old version.

BUMP FiGu!

Palaiologos · October 10, 2003, 11:29

Okay!

How was Denmark BTW?

Historical Atze · October 10, 2003, 20:35

Can you be more specific on the no tech trading rule thing?

I mean i constantly gift give any techs to my allies i can get my hands on(although the austrian AI tends to accept only one per turn).What is the difference between tech trading and Tech gifting?

The unique techs only reached the hands of Turks and Austrians by the breakthrough that occured when they received German troops.

P.S What of the bombers in this version then?

Nilat · October 11, 2003, 01:18

FiGu is online every day and he's telling me he'll do it tonight (like nearly weak ago and about 4 days ago

)

Palaiologos · October 13, 2003, 09:21

I am wondering..... how long is "soon" in Finnish?

Nilat · October 13, 2003, 09:30

its not finnish, its FIGU LANGUAGE!!

ask FiGu what it means...

Tech gifting and trading of non-cic specifictechs IS allowed, gifting unique units is allowed too but NOT allowed is gifting civ-specific techs.

Palaiologos · October 15, 2003, 12:26

Ok, thanks!
Be warned though that when f.e germany gives a German infantry division to the Austrians there is a chance the Austrians will get the "German Empire" tech from a breakthrough because the unit they received is more advanced from their own.It is simply in the civ2 engine rules.

P.S i sent an e-mail to FiGu yesterday.

Nilat · October 15, 2003, 13:10

Radical BUMP

Austro-Hungarian war

The mountains east of Przemysl have been totally cleared of Austrian resistance! Troops going to surround Budapest..
Przemysl surrounded. Innsbruck will be surrounded next month.

Russo-German war

Posen will be captured at least this year

Nothing strange happened in the ottoman front..

Palaiologos · October 17, 2003, 12:51

Don't worry Galv!
I am sending reinforcements!

Nilat · October 17, 2003, 13:41

He has nothing to worry, cause with my skills I'll just blow up my attackers in some way

Innsbruck is near the borders with Italy....

Just another sign of the chaos reigning in Russian battle plans!

Does that mean that you took out that veteran MG on the forest with stream near Warsaw?

Some German general's head will surely fall for this....

The Ober Kommand has had it with incopetent generalisimos.
Its high time the Kaiser assumes personal control of the German armed forces!

Nilat · October 17, 2003, 23:17

Not Innsbruck! I was tired when I wrote that report. I mean Kronstadt!!

And yes, I killed that MG without casualties because it was not fortified..

Galvatron · October 22, 2003, 17:14

Heiho and Joldio.

Well here I'm. Apo freaked out for me lately therefore I didn't visit this page, don't know if this happened for you too. Well now the site seems healthy

again.

And of course the turn played:

PS:
Thank you Stalin. Thanks to you I almost suffered a heartattack

while reading that Ibk is surrounded. I already saw Russians marching through beautiful Tirol. (This is a reason you should not post while drunk, tired or on drugs

) Ok I'm tired myself at the moment but I think I did everything in order:

Let me see the game we play is HoI, I'm Spain and preparing an assault on Chezchoslovakia (Heck I've no idea how to spell these guys, I think they should at first choose a name for their country that everybody can spell than they should be allowed to be a state on their own

) But hey what is Chzechoslo..what ever...anyway

Just forget them

Well Kronstadt isn't important. The people down there aren't really loyal to the holy crown of Austria and nothing more than a bunch of farmers you can have them

Than you have to worry about the constant independent movements of these guys

Nilat · October 22, 2003, 23:37

Maybe you have noticed that you will loose przemysl very soon?

Palaiologos · October 24, 2003, 16:52

At last the success so far denied in the Western front has been achieved!

Nancy has fallen to General's Buller's VIII Corps!

More than three french divisions were anihilated in the proccess. German looses were about 33.000 men, most from the 56th inf divission and the 5th artillery brigade that were both routed by the french defenders.

In the north, the port city of st. Lo fell to the advancing 44th division. The city was heavily shelled by a resurgent Kriegsmarine before being stormed by the infantry. For the first time, the new type of trooper that was being developed by the German army, the stormtrooper, was used in combat. Armed with grenades, body armour and trained in special infiltration tactics these new soldiers are expected to deliver victory for the Reich.

THE GERMAN ARMY COUNTERATTACKS ON ALL FRONTS!

The Slavic hordes were pushed yet further away from Koenigsburg and several of their divisions were destroyed.

Heavy fighting near Posen. The General staff is extremelly worried for the fate of the city and have ordered the Stettin command to reinforce the garisson.
5 Russian units were eliminated in the general vicinity, three of which have been succesfully identified as the infantry divisions "Polonia", "Alexander Nievski" and "Great Peter".

Despite these successes an undentified Russian presence SW of Posen still worries the General staff.

P.S I have offered reinforcements to the Austrians which although they accept, they don't seem to get. In explaining they have accepted a veteran stormtrooper unit from Koln, but after they thank me for "the magnificent gift" the unit is still in Koln.
Any way around this?

Nilat · October 24, 2003, 16:56

I knew this would happen... same thing as Russia did to Germany in ww2 (exept that your russia, and im germany

)

1 allied Ship of Line sunk off the Dardanelles, Saloniki erased from the face of the earth.

Palaiologos · October 24, 2003, 17:45
