Leibstandarte, I have two new Grand Campaign games of España 1936 pbem, so hard to type on an American computer, no accents. This is such a delightful game. Lots of challenges with disorganization turning into organization. It is really interesting to see how each player chooses to focus their initi...

Sometimes I think the rule is that retreat of forces is to the most annoying and impossible place you can imagine. But that is me at times of frustration. Just like in the actual Civil War, battles of annihilation are very rare. What? One time? As long as a region with some control exists in potenti...

Leaders do not have an actual strength, but they add strength to combat units by joining with them. Individually, but more so as commanders of divisions, corps and armies. So when you added a leader and saw the increase in strength, it was because the command penalty was reduced.

The very first time I saw the Dallas event I was curious enough to check it out. There were sufficient Union leaning soldiers in Texas that this event is very plausible. It is not an assured event, it is randomized.

Many of you know I am frequently on the losing side of a glorious cause. Each time I move the Capital to Atlanta, the new leaders continue to show up at Richmond. Not a serious issue, it just takes a couple of weeks to get the new leaders to the fighting front, but it would be nice if they appeared ...

As you can tell from the time distance of this post from Homet's last post, we spent some time figuring out what was going on to cause the game to crash. What we isolated to, actually homet gets the credit for this detective work, is that players should follow the guideline of every game manual to z...

White Guard, I tend to agree with the many comments you may think are 'attacking' your statements. You have presented a problem which is likely new to all the forum members. So it takes time to resolve. Certainly buying games in the Ageod store insures a product with better and known support. Often ...

In my experience, this is a challenging scenario for Rome. There is a need to build units and gather money, stay out of open areas early on. I think you picked the right side, for a challenge.
Nice scenario. Do the Caesar fantasy scenario if you want to run riot as Rome.

Will this game also integrate with existing AJE folder?

I totally understand the Franco effect. He is really awesome in this game. However, Republicans can mount a defense far south of Madrid with artillery, tanks and International units which delay Franco until reinforcements reach the front. I have found the Nationalist very strong, but the Republicans...

For those of you with similar issues, homet has fixed our game, knock on wood. See his solution.
New update in a few days.

Durk

Made the game much more playable. I lost, of course, but game was more balanced.

Durk

Yeah, need to restart the game. The odd appearance of ships on land and naval artillery were artifacts of some bug.

Durk

Wow, I missed all of this. Thank you for sharing your history.

Durk

Funny, must be two games of the same title.
Well, For Whom the Bell Tolls was one of my very favorite games of all times.

Durk

I so know the not enough time.
Points win is about as good as it gets.

Durk

What a great question. Best used with a commander in the mountains.
Does not add to a division or a corps as some other elements do.
Use independently or with other mountain or artillery units. In other division or corps will enhance defense in mountainous terrain.

Durk

Nice thread. Seems to me that the Grand Strategy is to do the Anaconda Plan, as you suggest, with a bit of just plain marching South.

Durk

I am in a game of "The Spanish Ulcer" which is a real challenge. While I do hope the next AGEOD game is the Napoleonic Wars with a grand campaign of all the Napoleonic Wars, the current game is really nice.

Durk

Taullebois - did you figure out a good strategy?
My kind of vapid reply hid the strategy, maybe. The side which attacks first wins. Which towns are you attacking in your quick attack?

Durk

Hmm, I always thought it was a successor to GDW's "For Whom the Bell Tolls." A much more technical game than "No Pasaran." I appreciate your comments very much, but my take is careful Republican play can, and will, result in a solid defensive game. Use the Madrid defense option. Play your major lead...

Durk

So we are working through this issue. Seems some of the issue is due to the game not recognizing the Prussian ord file, more later.

Durk

I am probably not the best person to reply to your post as I never play versus AI. I play both sides if solo and I do not have a real opponent. Otherwise, I only play PBEM. Espana is such a gem. This is a conflict which rarely sees a great game, and Espana is a great game. This game is such an accu...

The Confederates blew up the Merrimack on May 11th, after Norfolk fell. The Monitor sank in gale during an attempted tow past Cape Hatteras on New Year's Eve. Both vessels were collecting barnacles less than 10 months after Hampton Roads. That's the "answer" to thread's title. ;) Well, if only you ...

I am the host. Another person who is not in this game but is also in a different 4 player game has taken the task to try and host this game and see if he has better luck.
I wonder who has the corrupt installation? I just repurchased the game with a fresh version and fresh update.

Durk

In my last two PBEM CW2 games, neither player had these units via game events. Must they now be built?

Durk

So, deleted both files. Game crashed at the same point.

I can send new files but I suspect the are very similar to old files.

Durk

I spoke too soon. Crash after beginning turn execution first turn of four player game. All four players did a fresh install and are in the same upgrade patch.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hi guys,
Here is the post with the limits specified.

The game system looks at whether there is at least one commander of the correct faction. Because I tend to play historically, I ignore the anomaly that a great commander of a different faction does well as long as you have at least one poor commander of the correct faction.
