And i thought their motto was never pay taxes silly mee You are mistaken, we pay taxes, it's the big corporations who don't ;-) ... Back to the issue, I think there might be an alignment issue here. That is that Luxembourg is seen as neutral but accesible to both sides by the engine. While this wou...

The other red stance? I thought it had to do with the intensity of the attack, not whether the attack is made at the beginning or the end of the movement... :confused: :confused: :confused: I actually put both I and II armies in all-out assault mode and they remained immobile. Other forces in the r...

Just about the Liège issue. While I'm not certain about the West 1914 setup I neverless expect that the fortress is still in Belgian hands. As long as the fortress is intact your forces will most likely be stopped by the Belgian's Zone of Control. Assuming the fortress starts breached (as it does in...

In ajaranlance's examples above there seem to have been rather high levels of comittment and actual losses per comitted unit don't appear to be that high. Essentially these might be too high troop sensities which would logically lead to higher casualties. But I've only seen the screenshots, so am on...

I am having troops loaded on ships only to find after the turn ended that they got off the ships before the ships left. I never had this issue before the patch, and now it seems like it is happening a lot. Were they in a port that came under attack during the turn? If so the force has to be set on ...

I’ve played two scenarios in RC8, as Central Powers and as Western Entente. Very impressed with the simulation, particularly naval and air play, and also that so far I’ve not had any bugs, which is impressive given some of the issues with development of CW2. Hope these comments are help...

Not for the game engine, because no matter what hits represent you always lose the same percentage of your forces :) Also, as far as I know, hits can represent a different amount of men with different units, so if it says "82 hits" you still have no idea how many men that actually is. Example: http...

Corps or army cmdr? I know corps cmdrs may occasionally die, but I lost my army cmdr. Was the army in question whipped out? That is all it's components destroyed? That's when you usually get "wounded leaders", if the leader in question has no structure to be moved to he will iirc be removed from th...

That admiral's primary goal would be to reach Wilhelmshaven and unite with the German fleet. To reach that goal it would need some sacrifices. After all, honestly we rarely see "destroyer action" in this game when there are larger ships in the combined stack due to how the engine treats battle with...

If you miss it you can promote them the next turn correct? Or is the promotion available that turn only? Only if he gains sufficient seniority as every turn a promotable leader is not promoted he loses one point of seniority. So if he was only barely promotable he will no longer be the following tu...

Hundred percent agree with Johnny Cannuck's post!

Note: I rapidly looked up some range data for WWI and found what I thought confirmed. Coal burning dreadnaughts had significantly less range than oil burning (only two classes of those in WWI, the Queens and the R-class ships). Another factor I had prevous not considered is that coal burning ships c...

I think you are missing an important point. The loss of large portions of the fleet was not just an issue for the ongoing war, it was also very important for post war colonial policy. Had the German Hochseeflotte been wrecked even a sucessful land war would have led to a likely loss of German overse...

I just ran a test, where I put 48 command points worth of battleships and all of the destroyers and torpedo boats I could into one fleet, as well as combining the best British admirals. For the Germans, I shuffled the Austrian fleet in with the German ones, and took out the weakest ships until I go...

Fortresses cn be pretty big as can be cities so I see no problem with this. I expect the air units will take attrition damage during siege resolution as any other unit...

I love this game cause after 1914 there are several ways of technological advancement that each alliance can pursue. One might go for artillery, the other submarines, the third fighters. I wish the R&D decisions cost 2x the amount of engagement points cause right now it seems that a player can sele...

That's certainly richtig. But what means Gdl? Generalleutnant would be Gld. General der Infantrie? Never heard such am assignment but it could be possible. I believe I also have noticed that sometimes the name dissappears, and I have seen one stack (Bulgaria) that was completely empty. There was no...

I'm fine with -1 NM, I still think it is too cheap. In all Ageod games I usually accept everything that costs morale, it usually is a good deal. That so to say, the way it is now every player will eventually learn that unlock guns is the cheapest way to pump out heavy artillery, and take down the g...

Hopefully supply would be a serious issue (though unlikely due to naval resupply possibility :-( ) for the Entente. For instance the South African Mounted Brigades in GSWA had to be pulled back repeatedly as they could find neither sufficient forage nor water. A Royal Navy Armoured Car Squadron had ...

If you feel we should improve the colonial starting powers for a better abstraction, please post a formal request and historical source. Philippe takes these things seriously! :) I'm working on far more than just the Colonial setup, will contact the two Phils when I'm ready :-) . I have a pretty go...

It's possible to take South Africa, but just barely. I send all my raiding forces to act as transports to pick up the troops in SE Africa and invade South Africa. Don't try this against a human opponent though. It shouldn't work though, unless a much more serious Boer revolt took place. Right now S...

Would be good if this were the case for all upgrades (infantry, cavalry, artillery etc.). Most would involve changes of equipment (adding machine guns, trench mortars etc.) which did not happen overnight...

I agree with Marche and Arlon, makes sense. Luxembourgish was not considered a language at the time (linguistically it really isn't), so I'd go for German language names (Luxemburg and Ettelbruck), alternatively French (Luxembourg, Ettelbruck). But otherwise yes, your spelling is correct. Speaking o...

That reduces my list a lot. Only German owend regions of Asace-Lorraine as follows: Thionville=Diddenhofen Lorraine=Lothringen Bitche=Bitsch Morhange=Moerchingen (Mörchingen) Saarbourg=Saarburg Colmar=Colmer Mulhouse=Muelhausen (Mühlhausen) Though I believe someone raised the issue of Malmedy.

Normally French forces attacking into Alsace/Lorraine (historic warplans) during the first turns will always be activated, will also recover cohesion faster. The same is true for German forces in Belgium and northern France etc. Also added objectives for those first turns. So this is already in the ...

Will do German names for places in modern day France, Belgium and Luxembourg. Here is just a quick list I did in a quarter of an hour, for more I will have to research (though it's really easy by using Wikipedia, go to the english, french or whatever language site and search for the town, then look ...

But GERMAN Cavalry was powerful because of the 'Jager (Light Infantry) Battalions embedded in it' these light infantry Battalions carried 'foot (light) artillery', signals, medic, engineers etc with them and were embedded in the HKK (Hohehore Kavallerie Kommando) which you see as Cavalry Corps in G...
