Napoleonic Empires: Free For All

[Cow]

wow no one tell me horse artillery only supports infantry… the hell have i been buying lol.

[Cow]

Man it seemed so logical that horse artillery supports horses and normal artillery supports infantry… I would have had way more dragoons instead.

Why didn’t anyone tell me what the hell? Like “hey Cow you know you have lots of horse artillery but no inf, what gives?” I would be like, “they support the horses right?” Then you be like, “no.”

man screw you all, I only trust spain now. Obviously he is the ocean guy so he probably didn’t know.

I am going to take austria at 94% odds still… even though I could have had like 20 pus worth of crap on it if these horse artillery were something else. you guys are sick.

[Cow]

I been spending 5 pus for a 4 pu unit basically, man you really got to explain your game better veqryn.

Wait a second… are the other horses supportable? I don’t see any fours being rolled… I don’t get it… -.-

[Cow]

ah I see… it makes my 2s turn to 3s… ok. that makes sense. nvm I am crazy. CRAZY.

[Veqryn]

lol cow, you are hilarious to read

here is how “support” works in this game (and in 99% of triplea games)

_any unit that can “give support” gives it to any and all units that can take it (priority is lowest to highest dice roll)

any unit that can “be supported” can be supported by any and all units that can give it

all support increases the supported unit’s attack power by “1”

and support does not stack._

in this game, the only ground units that can NOT be supported are:

• any unit that gives support (any artillery types)
• Marines
• Hussars
  (and also cutters, but we are talking about land here)

So, it doesn’t matter if you have a howitzer, or an artillery, or a mortar, or a horse artillery.
All of them will give +1 attack to your supported units, no matter whether they are fusiliers, or dragoons.

so, your Horse Arty purchases have not been in vain, assuming you have enough Dragoons and Cuirassiers and infantry types for them to support.

horse arty are very good buys, their effective attack power is the highest in the game (for cavalry)

[Guest]

Veg - can you send me link for map and the rules you are playing? I am down for taking over one of the players bailing out. Seth told me some about this game…

[Veqryn]

triplea comes with it, so if you have triplea you already have this map
the rules are in the game notes, and also on the first post of this thread

[Funcioneta]

Spain says ‘yes’ to the alliance with France. The Prince of Peace agrees. We’ll cooperate with our neigbours to free Rome from protestant hands. And we’ll send aid to fight those nasty merkelians (eeer… germans…) of the east!

[Funcioneta]

Oh, and no other political actions for Spain

[seth4god]

Who is bailing? Cow who’s stated several times he’d let Spain take his capital, Austria due to real life work/school/something else, or is there someone else maybe?

[seth4god]

Nothing for Sweden if I haven’t stated this earlier.

[Cow]

Funcioneta the battle for austria awaits me! After that I got to figure out a way to get some naval going again… naval I sacrificed early in the game and did not care for nor think was important… needs to be rebuilt! lol.

[Veqryn]

france and spain ally

uk does nothing

prussia does ??

sweden does nothing

austria does ??

ottomans do nothing

russia does ??

[Gargantua]

Nothing.

Austria, Nothing.

[Noll]

So we just need Russia!
