This is something I suggested to Durk as a solution to my view that the Republic becomes very powerful after forming the Popular Army. A '36 infantry unit with poor stats would reflect the fact that the Popular Army suffered its shortages of equipment at it's formation, as well as the inherent probl...

I really appreciate you sharing these thoughts. I think you are spot on with regard how to play. So if the Republic player heeds your advice, then what does the Nationalist player do? If I was in that situation, I'd start aiming to grab as many cities producing conscripts/money/WS as I can. The Nat...

After a good bit more gameplay, my thoughts on the Republics move in the early war are as follows: 1. Everything that spawns in Madrid stays in Madrid. Miaja should be your first Army commander, and he should sit in Madrid with as many units as you can give him so that he can train as many milita up...

We have two players for RUS (myself and Matto). Anyone interested in being the third player?

MajorMayhem

So I've been bitten by the PBEM bug and I'd like to start a new game. Any interest?

MajorMayhem

So, I've recently thrown myself into the PBEM side of RUS, and so far so good. Would those who have played a few PBEM's care to share a few of the more developed points of play? So far, my strategic genius has extended to sending a Red division down the Belya to fall on Ufa (which ended badly) and a...

I do not have any suggestion to house rules ... we should play fair play )

That's fine with me!

MajorMayhem

Everything is fine then, unless anyone wants to suggest house rules?

Matto, I think it may be best if you host, as you seem to know what you're doing!

MajorMayhem

Thanks Durk.

I've actually read Bornego‎'s excellent AARs over at Paradox a while back: I must have missed this on the first read-through!

I play the Republicans as if they were the Reds in Revolution under Siege: build, build, and build some more. Use every event that gives you more troops and get them digging in behind rivers, in front of major cities and other important areas. Republican milita may not be all that impressive, but ge...

So, making the assumption that you have an abundant supply of money, conscripts and war supply, what is the "ideal" make-up of a Red infantry division that can be built in a reasonable space of time (say, 3 or 4 turns)? I'm assuming you want to stack the benifits of units, so: - 1 Cheka Line unit (o...

MajorMayhem

And some preferred settings? How does this look? Activation rule: the middle option Delayed commitment: medium Attrition: standard Extended pool: historical Naval boxes: ? Randomized Generals: Slight or moderate? I suggest this purely out of self-interest: the Reds are stuck with a bunch of abymal ...

Ok, for Mato and MajorMayhem . We can play a RUS game, do you know if there is an escenario for 3 players? I dont have the game right here for check. I dont have a favourite side. The "Revolution under Seige", "Admiral Kolchak's Siberian Coup and the Grand Campaign scenarios all have 3 sides (Reds,...

I've recently been bit by the PBEM bug, and I'd like a second game to run alongside my current PBEM. I'd like to play the British, and any opponents would be welcomed.

If anyone fancies a game, drop me a PM and we'll talk!

MajorMayhem

Sorry, it has been too long since I played the scenario to give advice. I do remember the Brits having some difficulty at the beginning but having the numbers to swamp the French eventually. Have you checked out any of the After Action Reports on PBEM French and Indian games? You can learn a lot fr...

MajorMayhem

So, I'm getting kicked about rather badly in PBEM play and I'm in sore need of some good advice as to how the British should conduct the war and I fall upon the AGEOD community to cure my ignorance. - What should the British aim to do for the first three or so years of the war? I think I've fallen i...

I'm marechalCAMBRONNE's opponent.

I take it I can attribute the result to Levis scaring Abercromby with his good stats to the point that he decided to run back to New York?
