In the US, today is Memorial Day. The purpose of the holiday in today's world is to remember all those who have died but especially veterans of our military. I especially remember my father, Donald King, a 25-year veteran of America's intelligence services who served in WW2 and Korea, and my step-mo...

This is indeed something, which Pocus has been working on over the last weeks. It appears to be fixes in v1.06-RC3 if you'd care to try that out

Can't seem to find the 1.06 patch. The link in the 'help improve" thread is broken.

Thanks! I had fun working on the other project, but now I'm ready to start working on a nice CW2 mod that will incorporate my options for a broader war as the result of FI.

TheDoctorKing

Just picked this game back up again after several months working on other projects. I started playing the July scenario as the Yanks. On the first turn, I moved McDowell's army into Manassas for the ritual defeat. I was duly defeated, but my units didn't fall back. So I set him to move back into Fai...

Yes, I think the "Moltke Plan" warplan somehow disbands the Western GHQ. Probably something to change in a future patch. I had to move Moltke back from the east to take command in the west and then I could form armies again (and Hindenburg got to be the GHQ in the east).

TheDoctorKing

Playing the grand campaign scenario as the Central Powers. I chose the Moltke Plan. On turn 2, suddenly all the armies on the western front are mere stacks. From their former 50 command points available, they now have 24. There doesn't seem to be any way to reorganize them into armies. What happened?

My father was a soldier in that 1940 French army. His view was that things were going not too badlly. His division was stationed near Mulhouse, in Alsace. In late May, they withdrew from the Maginot Line fortifications and redeployed in the vicinity of Lyons. They fought several times against the Ge...

In a current game I am playing, I put the British Channel Fleet in the Channel and set it on intercept. It has been out there for months now without running out of supply or losing too much cohesion. And no bloody Germans have sailed through. The naval simulation is a little weak and sketchy in all ...

I'm thinking you might have run out of money. The budgeting process is very complex. Look at the budget summary screen and try to figure out if you have any cash left over after all the other stuff you are spending money on (research, munitions production, don't forget it costs money to move your fl...

Ultimately, I could not successfully install the Centennial Edition. I got a "bad key" result no matter what I tried. They were very nice about the refund. So much for that. Hopefully, AGEOD is going to continue to issue patches for WWIG.

My Neuronzone purchase has not gone through yet. Two bad downloads, then when I contacted customer service they gave me a link to the Steam product. So, disappointment all around.

TheDoctorKing

To clarify, are the WW1G vanilla naval rules in effect in CE? With the unbeatable German battleships? That would be very disappointing.

TheDoctorKing

Good to hear. I'm looking forward to playing this once it comes out.

TheDoctorKing

Indeed, the initial decisions and plans was quite an interesting mechanism for WWI Gold (I have only played the demo, bear with me), it will be great if it was added or applied somehow to EAW as well. Hear! Hear! The strategic and diplomatic depth of the WWIG simulation is the truly attractive elem...

TheDoctorKing

If you don't like Steam, I just bought the game from Neuronzone over digital download. 20 Euros = US$27.95. Glacially slow download speed, however. Don't know if it is because of traffic, poor servers, a long way from France to Oregon, or what ever. So I will be able to report on quality this evenin...

I am considering working up a "full campaign" scenario for RUS starting with the October 1917 revolution. Does anybody who plays this game have any good data on troop numbers and deployments at that point in the war on the Eastern Front? All I have seen in sources I have consulted is some round numb...

The Great War is the beginning of the "American Century". The US was catapulted from regional power to global superpower by the events of 1914-1918, even though America's military participation was relatively minor when compared to the other major Entente powers. Nevertheless, my family was directly...

TheDoctorKing

Make sure you are using Random's naval mod. Otherwise seeking battle with the Royal Navy is foolish as in vanilla the Germans will shred you. Let the Germans attack you, especially on the western front. The AI attacks too much. The Germans should be out of morale by 1916 at the latest. With a live g...

I don't mean to insult Calvinus. He has been very helpful to me in the past. I am just concerned that we don't see him much on here any more and there doesn't appear to be any sign of a new patch. The last post I see from him dates back to March; I was thinking that Random had taken over the role of...

TheDoctorKing

I'm with the original poster, in this case. I'm happy that you are doing an AGEOD engine WWI game but I like this game. I'd like to see a patch fixing the various identified errors. It is unlike AGEOD to leave a game out there unsupported. Those of us who bought this game and who like to play it exp...

TheDoctorKing

What relationship will this game have to AGEOD's current WWI strategic title, WWIG? I have to say, I really like your current WWI game, despite all the problems with the engine, and I hope you will duplicate as much of the strategic feel of that game in your new title. Best wishes, and I look forwar...

I just can say that 23 years ago i was already an Avalon Hill veteran. :gardavou: :p apy: I'm with you! I got AH "Gettysburg" as a present for my 7th birthday, while Lyndon Johnson was still our president. I'm happy to see from this poll that people substantially younger than myself are still inter...

TheDoctorKing

I really like this game and I like the work that Random is doing on it. I hope that AGEOD is planning to continue to support the game. In particular, does anybody know if there are any plans to put out a new patch that deals with the bugs that players have identified over the last year and a half? S...

I would have been a poor "squatter" farmer in the Blue Ridge mountains of western Virginia. Like my ancestor Jesse Weakley, I would have served in the Union army, in a West Virginia regiment, not because I liked colored folks - heaven forbid! - but because those arrogant rich planters in Richmond (a...

And, of course, historically the CSA concentrated on blockade runners, i.e. brigs, instead of developing its own industrial capacity. The blockade runners were mostly private, not government-owned, but I figure the player is spending a combination of state money and private capital on any sort of ec...

TheDoctorKing

I was fully patched up.

I did not notice if the CSA had moved their capital to Atlanta or whatever.

TheDoctorKing

I captured Richmond with McDowell's army in the summer of 1862, about June or so. As expected, USA morale went way up, to about 150, and CSA morale fell to 60 or so. I was expecting that USA morale would slowly fall towards 100 while CSA morale slowly climbed, absent any further big victories. As it...

Yes, Spain's industrial base was very weak in 1936. They could manufacture artillery ammunition, and a few simple armored cars, but most of the tools of modern warfare - tanks, planes, aircraft - had to be imported. In the game, this is handled through option play. The Italians and Germans give thei...

TheDoctorKing

And hopefully Random's mod will become an official patch soon because you really need it too.

This is a fine game, well worth your time.

TheDoctorKing

Yes, and it is highly readable. I have used this with students and they all loved it. Humorous, thought-provoking, it is a lot more about 21st-century America than it is about the 19th C., though. The theme is "the continuing Civil War" or "the Civil War and modern memory" to lift a title from anoth...
