    @calvinhobbesliker:

    Also, i assume North Africa and the Middle East are not in your game

    Nope by 1812 I don’t thik anything too important was still going on, but the Ottoman Empire will be sending supplies ships to France, if the UK’s navy don’t sink em.

    So it is on the map?

    Just like the Greek area.


  • @i:

    dylan to tell you nicely swords men were out of european armys in the 17th century! :x there were none in 1812!

    Well they did in the War of 1812 document I saw, so I think they did.

    Cutless.


  • @i:

    dylon think of it like this how will win a guy with a sword or a guy with a musket at 100 yards?

    Dodgeing with ninja skills? Move in as a huge group.

    You wouldn’t find any infantry armed primarily with swords.
    Cavalry sure but not infantry.
    I think Mr. Marc and the Emperor gave you some very good info on that subject.

  • And to confuse things,  :-D Ottawa wasn’t the capital of Canada. Quebec City and York (Toronto) were the capitals of Lower and Upper Canada respectively.

    So, probably more suited for VC conditions than “capture the flag” victories!

  • Map idea

    Board 1

    West Scandinavia

    UK
                                    West Germany

    France

    Southwest Europe

    Board 2

    Finland area

    Prussia/Austria area              Ottoman Empire in Europe                                Russia


  • Here’s the cost, and I don’t care about the swordsmen issue

    Unit                   France          UK            Russia               Austria and Prussia

    Swordsmen         3                  4                4                            3
    Rifle Men            4                  5                6                            4
    Calvary              4                  6                5                            4
    Cannon              8                  8                8                            8
    Sail Ships           3                  4
    Flag Ships          5                  5
    Warships            7                  6

    Very complicated i know.

    Supplies ships give you 3 extra money.

    check here for stuff all I have is France’s set up, but I’ll update every time something new pops up!

    I think the weapon of the day was a musket that could be fixed with a bayonet.  Swords were more a decorative object.  The bayonet charge was a fixture up to and including world war I.  Perhaps swordsmen would have a +1 ability to pick strawberries or cut hay with the swords.  Perhaps offer a bonus of +1 to farmers when working with swordsmen to defeat a field of wheat?


  • If your gonna have swordsmen, why not include ninjas, panzers, and death stars while your at it.

  • '12

    The death star should be able to do offplanet bombardment with no chance of casualties returning fire.  Ninjas should be able to attack units and capture them, say a 1/6 chance of taking over an enemy unit.  Also there should be provisions for a trojan horse full of greek swordsmen.  They can kill the enemy greek style with their long weapons.

    Good idea, but I won’t.

    There are no bonuses

    UK=27 (Get some supplies ships that won’t die.)
    Austro-Prussian Alliance= 24 (If Vienna falls you can continues to put things in Berlin if it’s still yours,)


  • I just noticed you included riflemen aswell!

    Where are the stats for the Napoleon’s flying dragon unit?

  • '12

    I guess the dragon stats would depend on the age of said dragon and if it fights on a full belly or not.

    Do I dare ask what the flying dragon is?

    It’s an equally serious response to the seriousness of this thread.
