Thank you sir, you're welcome, and thank you for your portrait work =)

John Sedgwick

Thanks guys! I will likely tweak them a bit more before the final version is released. I like the Austin (right) better than the Rolls Royce (left) - my guess is the Rolls would be relatively rare even for the White factions so I might change the markings for the Austin armoured car as an optional g...

I'm currently working on a graphical user interface mod for RUS, and I was planning on keeping things hush-hush until it's finalized (which may take a while as I'm a perfectionist), but I was so pleased with how these armoured cars turned out that I wanted to share them with all of you... [ATTACH]25...

John Sedgwick

PoN was a huge let-down for me, due entirely to its turn processing times on my laptop. I don't regret a single cent paid on release, it's right up my alley, I bought all the DLCs and I own five other AGEOD titles that I'm very happy with, so one disappointment in six ain't bad. I'm glad to see ther...

John Sedgwick

Thanks for the reply le Anders! We may already have all positions filled, but I'll send you a PM if anything changes. I prefer to play the anti-Bolshevik crusaders so if you're interested in a PBEM at a later date I'll keep you in mind.

John Sedgwick

I've never played with activation penalties off, but I'm all right with that if the other feller is. I haven't played Kolchak's Coup or the Siberians before in PBEM but I'd like to give that campaign a try.

John Sedgwick

Hi bob! With you me and Philo that makes three, we just need to hash out the details - maybe we can do that in the thread I started (Kolchak seeks Lenin...) so we're not hijacking Vigabrand's. Philo32b - The Kolchak's Coup scenario seems to be a nice middle ground between the Grand and the Short Cam...

John Sedgwick

Philo32b, I'm particularly keen on playing the Siberians - I'll play both White sides if we can't find a third player for the Southerns but a three player matchup would be ideal in my eyes - I haven't played the Eastern Whites in PBEM before so I'd like to focus on that.

John Sedgwick

Looking for a Red opponent and possibly a Southern White partner for a Grand Campaign or Short Campaign, your choice - I've heard the Grand Campaign may be unbalanced in favour of the Whites if they recognize the independence of minor states, however I have no intention of recognizing them (it all b...

John Sedgwick

I'm looking to play the Whites in RUS if you're still looking for an opponent.

John Sedgwick

I just found out about this - very excited to see a SCW title! Can't wait to see all the Int'l Brigades and how aircraft factor into the equation.

John Sedgwick

Very exciting news, indeed! I might prefer something a bit more novel, but I look forward to the next incarnation - the ACW is a pretty safe bet sales-wise, I hope it makes them lots of money so they can make games about less famous conflicts! =D Having said that, I am pretty durnd excited about thi...

John Sedgwick

I'm happy to hear you're investigating the slowness issues - I've tried all the suggestions on this forum, and they helped make it playable - barely - but it's still very frustrating. I hope you find the roots of these problems.

John Sedgwick

Thanks for the reply, Durk. I chalked it up to panicky commanders as well, in my own personal narrative of the war... "You will become one with the Britain. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. Resistance is futile" - something like that. I wasn't going to post on the forums until my opponen...

John Sedgwick

In an FIW PBEM, 9 units (~200 pwr) fully supplied in Fort Duquesne surrendered after a 30 day siege to a single cavalry unit (~20 pwr). I would've put a force outside the fort to swat this fly, but I didn't think it was a threat, and I was afraid my opponent might have a larger force on the way and ...

John Sedgwick

I've been lurking in this thread for some time now, partly to gain insight on my current PBEM opponent's psychological makeup :evilgrin: , but mainly because counterfactual history is a topic near and dear to my heart. Very fascinating, high-brow discussion you got going here - as for the semantics,...

John Sedgwick

Yes, it will, provided the leader is active. IIRC it takes 5 days to destroy a depot, so any moves taking longer than 10 days will not be completed in the same turn.

John Sedgwick

Rattler makes a good point - they're nice to have, but it's not really necessary to build more, especially with the CSA's limited resources. I should also note, I do tend to "go fort heavy" with the CSA with coastal arty on the Mississippi.

John Sedgwick

I usually build at least two extra supply wagons as the CSA, and build an extra depot behind the lines in Virginia. I also tend to build depots along major rivers, but I use riverine transports for this purpose as they are cheaper than wagons. But wagons are worth their weight in gold - not only for...

John Sedgwick

Huh, I'm not sure what to make of this. On the one hand, I'm glad that PF will regain autonomy to focus on the AGE engine - I'm a fan of both studios, but I prefer PF's design philosophy and deeper military gameplay over PDS's realtime sandbox approach. On the other hand, I have to agree with OneArm...

John Sedgwick

Exciting news! I still can't bring myself to spell "IACTA" with a J, though

- is that how they write consonant Latin 'I's in France? I've never seen it written that way except in very old transliterations.

John Sedgwick

I haven't thoroughly played RoP yet, but RUS is an awesome game, my favourite AGEOD title to date, so I heartily recommend it. I wouldn't worry too much about its current state of patching, it's still perfectly playable and the events'll get sorted eventually, but if you're worried about not getting...

John Sedgwick

I made a small mod with a couple alternatives to the default flag "bullets" (one with sharper bullets, one with square battle flags instead of bullets) - unfortunately, I lost a lot of stuff recently, but they'd be very easy to recreate.

John Sedgwick

Now I know, and knowing is half the battle. I like the way theatre restrictions are implemented, but an icon on the French fleet would be helpful for novices, yes

PS Thanks again to you and the development team for a stellar job - RUS is my favourite AGE game at the moment

John Sedgwick

Thanks andatiep, I suppose that makes sense - I just shrugged it off at first and rationalized it as a hotbed of mutiny, the theatre restriction hadn't occurred to me, but I didn't see the French/Ukraine trait icon on the ships, so I figured it didn't apply. It does seem to be an oversight, however ...

John Sedgwick

Dejay's Flotte de la Mer Noire has been docked in Rostov on passive posture for the past several turns, yet it hasn't regained a single point of cohesion. Is a level 2 harbour not enough? Do they need to be stationed at a naval base to reorganize? I don't even know how they lost all that cohesion in...

John Sedgwick

Thanks lodilefty, another lesson learned I guess. I don't recall the exact circumstances (it was somewhere up north), but in my singleplayer games, I once saw a stack ordered to merge with a stationary stack one region away, make a completely unnecessary detour through an enemy stack two regions awa...

John Sedgwick

I ordered Markov's division merge with Mai-Maievski's corps one day away by rail, but after redeploying Borovsky from Mai-Mai's corps to Azov, Markov's orders were changed to "Merge with Kornilov Division" (Borovsky), so he followed him home like a lost puppy. What gives? :bonk: The merge command ca...

John Sedgwick

Well, off the top of my head, I'd like to nominate OneArmedMexican and jack54 for their work on RUS portraits - http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?t=19325

John Sedgwick

Been meaning to say thanks, and congrats to other recent medal recipients. Thanks again! John, I'm flattered that you and other gentlemen display your medals in your signature, but please don't feel obligated to, on account of lil' ol' me. M'lady, I must confess that my display is prompted, not by f...
