I got the USA in October of 1916. But it took a little for the existing units to unlock and it took even longer for all the units I bought. Historically the US Army was not ready to fight when they entered the war. First they had to study with the French and British armies in the Field as well as w...

I don't think it matters in EAW. At least never saw added command cost or an obvious bonus/malus for cohesion...

After going to bed I realised that EAW style cavalry divisions (currently) use only two cavalry elements. So it would have to be 300 men/horses per hit to get to an approximatly correct manpower of 4800 cavalrymen per division... See how this game (to be honest any game research) even haunts me in s...

Is this WAD? The German Cav division seems in game to consist of about 900 men and a gun unit. I think a German cavalry division in '14 was 4300 men in 3 cav brigades and a small gun unit with only 12 - 75mm guns. Those are flavour numbers which will have to be corrected eventually (that's the case...

@caranorn I haven't found anything regarding the number of rifles, only the type that was used at the outbreak of the war: Mauser model 1889. As for the troop numbers, I gave these earlier: The field army had 117.000 men by the beginning of august. The army consisted of 85.000 infantry troops. The ...

And yep, would obviously be a bug as there's no way a dreadnaught would have made it up the Danube. Not very practical either :-) ...

I have no idea what the Phil's can do at this stage but i am going to list a number of large problems i have found. 1. The Pacific (Great Pacific i think) needs to be split in two east/west. Spee should not leave Tsingtao and be off the cost of San Fran. 2. The travel times in every off map sea box...

The sweeping of mines should only be successful if you control the corresponding land area, most important in BELGIUM, even after controlling the Belgian Coast the Germans cannot use the NAVAL Dockyards. Also to an extent this can simulate the 'GALLIPOLI' campaign, initial losses will be high to mi...

Russians lost at Stallupon to a single German Corps 'I' Corps, having nearly 4:1 superiority ('I' Corps on German Side vs 2 Corps + 1 Cavalry Division in Russian Side); this gave the Germans some over-confidence and they attacked again at Gumbinnen, stupidly as German Artillery nearly ended up dest...

I have already stated that- Reserve and Landwehr and Ersatz are different. Now there is also another aspect, all divisions are equal in TEAW. In real- A German/British Division of pre Great War, had much better training and leadership, firepower than all other divisions. French came a close second....

How about an RGD you can play on a coastal region with enemy mines if you have one or minesweeper units in or adjacent to it? Probability of success influenced by the number of units present...

Getting Railroad guns technology is lot of expenditure in R&D, historically only a few of the 'extra long range' PARIS guns were built- why? Cost and effectiveness. Whereas over 250 infantry divisions were formed by the same Germans. Do the railroad guns only represent those monsters? I would think...

caranorn

i am quite sure of my calculations. It is 50% for the German and Austrian Armies, for the rest i do not know. Now as to the BUFFING of BELGIUM, pre-war German Corps had 144 Guns, this included 36 Howitzers (Medium Artillery) + 108 Field Artillery (Light Artillery) + they all had a Corps level Artil...

13th and 14th Mixed Brigades are exceptions to the rule. Concerning Engineers, there seem to have been maybe a company per Army-Division which is negligible. Concerning aircraft, I'm not sure the in game data can be relied on. That is I'm not sure other nations' air elements actually represent just ...

For most WWI armies engineers were highly trained specialists, in many including transmissions and various other tasks that would later be moved to separate services, they were usually aso the corps manning the trench mortars, flame throwers, gas and electric warfare etc. Pioneers on the other hand ...

Overall rail capacity was pretty high. If local pools could be created or actual usage per region implemented would be better, but reducing capacity is not the solution...

caranorn

Yep, most countries used rail for mobilisation, including moving their armies (with equipment) to the front. One should not forget that WWI might very well be the hight of railroads. While I've noticed players having almost unlimited capacity, I haven't feeled bothered by it so far...

I'm pretty sure there was a WWI Monster Game published in Command Magazine in the late 90's too. And while we are on the topic of Europa series games, The Great War a very similar system was developped for WWI with two games published (March to Victory and Over There...

On the 1914 page there is also an interesting transcript concerning the theoretical organisation of the peace time army (in Dutch, I can skim over it and understand the important material (which goes a long way to prove that Dutch and Luxembourgish are Frankonian Languages ;-) )... https://web.archi...

I fit can be coded so, I would suggest that Belgian generals spawn at Le Havre as it was where the Belgian government spent the war (and thus is nowhere near the frontline, be assured of that ^^). Maybe code Bruxelles, Antwerp and then le Havre in a way that the engine will check control if Bruxell...

Hi Kensai, sorry I mean not the EE sondern the WE. To 3.: Can I blockade a port directly? To 4.: Can I supply my fleet to sea on supply ships directly? If so also with ammunition? I can provide land units manually Supply Trains, who are included as a unit in the stack, or run automatically? 3) Due ...

I wish I had a spreadsheet with all the possible permutations somewhere. Then I could understand precisely what advantages/disadvantages it gives according to terrain and makeup of armies (including that of the enemy). We can probably read this stuff in the files... Yep, I'd love something like tha...

I'd say that to me too BoA and WiA (as it's sucessor) are the best Ageod titles, probably because they were so revolutionary, also because they have a higher replayability factor for me (require less time to re-learn how to play)...

The problem I have is that when I go to make a second German GHQ it looks at the Austrian chain of seniority as well as the German. I can't make a second GHQ without taking a penalty because Austrian 3-star Potoriek is the most senior general. Austrian generals should not be part of the German seni...

Just read up your #12 post Caranorn and it sounds all clever. I'm about to get a commemorative map by the IGN ( 1914-1918 THE GREAT WAR from LIEGE to the YSER and the SOMME ), probably this coming week, and will be able to get more details in a couple of weeks, thus will confirm your proposal or su...
