Because of their atrocities against civilians, which were large scale.

And which were not committed in a civil war - where they tend to be unavoidable - but in a controlled war of foreign influence.

One more remark: pointing at a "good" side is hard in this conflict, but condemning France as a "bad" side here is pretty obvious to me.

Erik Springelkamp

I see the 30 Years War and the Dutch Revolt as a common conflict: they ended both in the same peace treaty of Westphalia And the French civil war with Calvinist/Catholic Henry IV of Navarra was similarly an integral part of this conflict in the late 16th century. The Habsburg armies in the Netherla...

To all the experts: was there a clear-cut "good" side in this conflict? Being Dutch, Northern Dutch, that is, the indoctrination by national history has me emotionally regard the Protestant side to be the good side. (I see the 30 Years War and the Dutch Revolt as a common conflict: they ended both ...

I cannot upload the scripts file. It is too large. Is there a particular script you need? For uploading large files it is now possible one of the free cloud services like Dropbox, Onedrive from Mircosoft, or Google drive, where you can get many Gigabytes free storage (I have 15 GB free on each of t...

Bump. I have been playing this scenario, and indeed the French have hardly anything on the Eastern border, and also, historically, hardly anything near Paris. And the French don't have a GHQ. Until now I assumed this represented the attack on the border with Germany that was not supposed to be part ...

I don't understand what the effect is here. The total number of steps is still the same, isn't it?

I thought you meant the battlefront.com forum, there I am Erik Springelkamp as well, but now I see there is a different BFC forum, and I am not active there.

Erik Springelkamp

@Erik- yes, it is a big loophole. Esp. if you play with "Delayed commitment" (which is a-historical in WW1) it is sometimes too stupid and such results do occur. So for EAW the interim solution is to set Commitment on the smallest delay. However, I also noticed this in other games, where commitment...

Erik Springelkamp

i observed this too, i think its working as intended, no loophole there rly. what happens is this, the CP stack moved into your region in defensive posture, your stack is in defensive too. that means by the manual you possibly allow the other stack to pass by or enter the region without all out att...

Erik Springelkamp

But there was 100% WE MC when the CP stack entered. Can it be that the battle delay carries the start of battle over to the next turn? But if the entering stack then can switch to defensive posture, we have a loophole in the game rules that are meant to have an attack by a force that enters an enemy...

CP stack moved into WE controlled region Compiegne with WE stacks in defensive stance, but there is no battle?

how can i have this tooltips with movecost, offensiveness and dfensiveness, etc..?

Thank you

With the terrain overlay.

Each map overlay has special tooltip content.
Press the keys 1, 2, 3 etc. and look at the tooltips. Very instructive.

I am playing the Western Front scenario as WE against the AI. I started to recruit the better French infantry divisions first, because they take a bit longer, but are much better, but when I wanted to recruit the Militia divisions on turn 2 they were no longer available for recruitment. Is this by d...

Erik Springelkamp

Now how does all this compute: FrontageForest.jpg Forest: frontage width for line elements in points: 48 For this stack in elements: 8 Now 6 x 8 = 48, so that makes a frontage with for the line element of 6? Infantry element width in points in closed : 14 (is forest closed ?) Infantry element width ...

Erik Springelkamp

"Frontage open 4" means that that particular infantry element will only take up 4 spaces of the "x" amount allotted to open terrain Hmm, this is the opposite from what Pocus says, if I am not befuddled about this: If a closed terrain allows for 60 points of frontage worth and an element has a cost ...

Erik Springelkamp

I can verify that "frontage open 4" and "frontage closed 12" applies to all of the Russian infantry units (elements) checked thus far. Why would there be less units able to fight in open than in close? One would expect the opposite. Or does this reflect the vulnerability in open terrain that forces...

The mound was built by King William I of Belgium to mark the spot where his son, the Duke of Orange and future King William II, was wounded. Belgium was founded in 1830. William was king of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, and Netherlands, or Low Countries was a name that originated during th...

The game is currently in Late September, and while i could go back and take some screenshots of previous turns-I'd rather not risk losing what's come so far. So we begin where the war started: Diplomacy. You can safely copy your saved game to a directory with a new name, and then move the files fro...

Erik Springelkamp

I just discovered that early September a GHQ can be appointed, but the senior general Pau is located in the Jura, so it takes another turn before corps can be organized in Paris, unless one takes the penalty for assigning Gallieni in Paris. So I might have well recruited reserve divisions instead of...

Erik Springelkamp

I am giving EAW a new trial run, and am currently playing the Western 1914 Scenario as Entente. I have a couple of questions: - do the French not have a GHQ? - I guess I need a lot of reinforcements fast to defend Paris, so I mobilized all available militia there. Is it wise to enforce them with art...

Erik Springelkamp

I did submit the positive review. The redeeming process for EAW and CWII was going smooth, but I had problems with the other games. AJE base game succeeded, but I don't have separate keys for the Cantabrian Wars, Parthian Wars and Spartacus, those downloads just installed and worked under the AGEod ...

> should be able to access the manual from the main page as well
rather than have to save/get off/read the manual/get back on.

When you open the manual in a pdf reader, you can switch between the running game and the manual with alt-tab without problem.

I have started playing the HAN Illyria scenario. I really like the setting: compact scenario, Greek unit types, gradually escalating during the first turns. I play as Romans. Suffered several defeats while probing the strengths of the armies, until the Roman legions entered the theatre. Even then I ...

In the patch that I applied last (it has been a time ago) they work for me. It took a couple of patch rounds to get them OK.

If you are in Windows 7 or 8 run the install as an administrator. This should not be necessary, and can introduce problems with folder access later. I have the game installed on Windows 7 and 8.1, and do not need to run anything as administrator. Apart from the general game menu that requires to co...
