I've recently completed two 1775 games with the same opponent. The first was a very tense, back and forth game that either player could have won. The second was a complete British rout of the Americans. What changed? The first game was the first time that either of us had played the 1775 game and th...

I'd like to add a couple more strange city battle results. In a recent game, Pontus assaulted a much smaller Optimates force located inside at city. Approximately 20 battles were fought over the coarse of a month. Toward the end, 95000 Pontus troops repeatedly assaulted 4500 Optimates troops with no...

Jim-NC, Thanks for the excellent suggestions. So far none of them has worked. Your latest suggestion, to drag the army to and adjacent province and then hit the delete key resulted in the army not leaving the city. I'm attaching the files for the current turn if anyone would like to have a go at try...

I tried the drag and drop about four or five times without success. I will try a few more times. I've had much more success in other AGEOD games, but not in this situation. Note that the army trying to come out of the city is about 3 times the size of the army outside. There may be large losses, but...

Sortie Bug?

In the Caesar vs. Pompey scenario, one of Pompey's armies is inside of Syracusae and is being besieged by a smaller opposing force. In the current turn, the leader was active and tried to sortie outside of the city into the surrounding countryside and attack the besieging force. The army inside was ...

Unfortunately, I have a Windows XP machine at home. I do have a Window's 7 machine at work and the search features seem much better. Did you try searching for files with the suffix .ord? Maybe it's putting the file in a different directory. Alternately, maybe the OS is hiding the file. Maybe this po...

Markacres- The manual properly describes how PBEM should work. One player generally is the host and the other player(s) participate. The host will send the players the appropriate trn and rpl files (no rpl file at start). He will receive back the ord files. At that point, assuming the host has gener...

Odd Battle Result

Recently in a PBEM Caesar vs. Pompey game, we experienced what seems to be an odd battle result. At the beginning of the turn, Pomey's forces had ~33,891 troops inside the city of Rome. They were attacked by one of Caesar's armies comprised of ~56,437 troops. Over the coarse of the month, there were...

The same issue reported with the missing structures in the 1755 Campaign game is also present in the FIW campaign. It appears the the short term fix is also the same. Use the "Colonial" variant.

I have a follow on question to all the excellent discussion above. A good Marius player will take Rome very early and there is not a lot Sulla can do about it. I was curious about what would happen if Sulla headed back to the Italian mainland right after Rome falls. It's fairly straight forward to g...

I've had that problem of accidentally merging stack of units together, especially when the stacks are in very close proximity. A solution that I found in the forum somewhere was to make good use of the ability to lock units. Cntrl+l will prevent all units from merging. You can then make your propose...

Anyone interested in WIA game? I'd prefer something other than one of the Revolutionary War scenarios (since I haven't tried any of those yet, but could be talked into it). I would play either side and could do 5-7 turns per week, maybe more once we get going. PM me if you are interested.
