What a complicated series of questions you pose. The simultaneous movement of these games is not at all an ongoing amorphous mess as you contemplate. I am likely in your age category. AGEOD is sensible, fun and challenging. Connect with a few players and enjoy the fun of this handful of delightful ...

How about the Reconquista? (the one in Spain, not Mexico). I suppose the big question with these medieval suggestions is whether they are economically viable for AGEOD to make them. There is no doubt in my mind that the 100YW and the "Reconquista" would make for very interesting games but how many ...

oh yes ! but how many turns ? how many factions ? it will become the monster game of the century (normal for a war of 120 years...) :mdr: How many factions could you think of then? I was envisaging it as a more tightly scripted two-player game where certain phases of the campaign were dealt with in...

Hundred Years War would be interesting, don't know what would happen for the times when not a lot was going on though.... You could try and manage your population and finances when every one is dying from plague!!!! The BBC documentary that has just started, well half way through, has whetted my ap...

Thanks everyone. I am starting to read the forum a lot more now and it seems that there is definitely an ACW2 on the way quite soon and maybe there is a second Napoleon game coming along a bit further on down the road? I'll get "Rise of Prussia" soon as I have just read the Osprey book on the Seven ...

Of interest to me . . .

War of the Roses 15thC
Hundred Years War (including Glyndwr's revolt)
Crimean War
Boer War
Anything from the Renaissance/early modern period e.g. English Civil War, Italian Wars.

What was the most difficult aspect to grasp for you? How units are organized (stacks, units, elements), chain of command, supply, 'dryness' of combat report, simultaneous turns, etc.? Originally it started with BOA1 in 2004, then ACW1. ACW1 saw the new chain of command, but something to point out: ...

I am very new to AGEOD games and I have just started playing BOA2 "Wars in America". I actually like the system very much even though I am finding some aspects of the game quite puzzling - reading the forum and the AAR's has started to fill in many of the gaps in the last few days, I am pleased to s...

Making quite good progress with this game - supply is a bit difficult to understand but I have now found an AAR that has helped. The manual says nothing much about building forts or depots though which has made things a bit tricky too. Overall though, I think the game is beautifully designed and exc...

stockwellpete

Stockwell how is your playing going? Well, I have started to learn "Wars in America" which I have been told is one of the more accessible AGEOD games. I am finding some aspects of the game straightforward but other things like supply, attrition and combat are very, very puzzling. I know WW1 Gold us...

Erm, he was expelled from the Communist Party by the Stalinists in 1928. Unlike them he remained a revolutionary socialist for the rest of his life.

Dont rightly know I have read the manual cover to cover where does this turns and rules edition exsist? If you open up the folders to the game you can see it next to the main manual and the "additions". It has a slightly earlier publication date too. I am not sure if it is just an earlier version o...

Victor Serge - ‘It is often said that the germ of all Stalinism was in Bolshevism at its beginning. Well, I have no objection. Only, Bolshevism also contained many other germs – a mass of other germs – and those who lived through the enthusiasm of the first years of the first victo...

Sorry to be a pain but can someone answer my question about the "Turns and Rules" edition of the manual. How does it relate to the main 200+ pages manual that I have already downloaded please?

stockwellpete

Pete, Thank you for your fortitude. I owned the original board game and dreamed of playing it. When the computer game came out it was buggy, but massive inprovements have happened over the year this is a complex game but an AWESOME game. I saved the manual on a fleash drive and had my local kwik co...

The provisional government that was set up to replace the Czar allowed Lenin and other exiled leaders back into Russia, much to their own demise. But what if they kept him in exile? Would the revolution have had a similar outcome? What do you think? Well, it was the Germans who facilitated Lenin's ...

Yes there's a difference: Bourgeois republic is already own by the bourgeois, but in socialist republic the socialists become the new bourgeois. The hollowing out of the soviets during the Russian civil war was caused by economic dislocation due to the fighting - the Russian working class was large...

Hello Durk. I have had a go at doing it but I am not sure if I have done it correctly. I downloaded jzip which is a free thingy for unzipping files. I then downloaded the script file, cut it and put it in the WIA script folder. It is now showing as a "Windows Script Component" in the folder but all ...

stockwellpete

What do you have to do to activate the file? Do you need something like Winzip or something else? I am not sure how to add it to my game.

Gah... try to fix it qwik means break it qwik.... :bonk: Not quite that simple, but the attached should fix it: Give it a try and let us know here....

Hello stockwellpete ! of course, you have to download the last patch 1.10e. I don't know the fix 1812 campaign zip ? I don't think there is much change in the manual. :wavey: OK thanks. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing anything obvious. If you look at the thread about the new patch ...

Hello Baris, I am going to follow Philippe's advice and start with the "Wars in America" game and then go onto "Revolution Under Siege". I have been able to follow the tutorials of these two games quite easily. I just need to sort out if I have got the games patched right up to date and I am looking...

stockwellpete

A couple of questions . . . i) regarding patches; my version of the game is 1.06c; I see there is a new official patch 1.10e that I can download and I should also download a fix 1812campaign.zip. Is that correct please? ii) regarding the manual; my version has "Version 1 for WIA 1.00"; should I prin...

stockwellpete

Yes, I am very satisfied with the way I have been dealt with by Aegod. I would like to thank Philippe very much. I have actually managed to work my way through the tutorials now. It has taken me around 8 or 9 hours though! I think some of the wording in Tutorial 2 could be much clearer. For example,...

I think the main point to understand here is the differentiation made between parliamentary or bourgeois representative democracy on the one hand, and proletarian or participatory democracy on the other. The Bolsheviks, including Lenin, were orthodox Marxists and believed that capitalist forms of pa...

"WWI is not just huge, it is also complex. The player is hit hard by a learning curve that the documentation, tutorials and interface could do a much better job in easing. Even after many hours of playing, this reviewer still found himself stumbling to understand all the nuances of basic things like...

Sorry about this. It looks like somehow you did not get access to the demo before buying. We are ready to reimburse the game if you feel it was not worth the purchase. Please send me an email at pthibaut@ageod.net with your purchase invoice copy and we shall sort this out. No demo. I have sent you ...

Hello, the Pause key is in the keyboard of your PC. If you haven't that key, I remember you can use F9 key. The reason why you see that message is because the AI starts paused. Neverthless you can play and schedule moves and orders, perform actions. Then, when you have finished, hit the Pause key, ...

Game is not as complex as it seems I would reccomend printing and reading the manual. It is an awesome game! But the manual is over 200 pages long! I wanted to play a wargame not do a PHD! The tutorial seems to be partly broken so there does not appear to be a way for me to get a foothold in the ga...
