Organizing Napoleonic Empires Free For All (tripleA) starting June 12th or later

@seththenewb:

Transports can land two units if you’ve got a marine + inf/art/cav or what 4 marines? Marines attack increases in amhpib assault as well.  :evil:

1 marine + 1 inf or artillery
or
just 1 cavarly
or
3 marines

however, marines are costly (at 6 ipcs), and do not benefit from artillery since they can’t be supported.  plus they don’t get their +1 attack if they are not attacking amphibiously, so they are not so useful once grounded. 
grenadiers are a far better buy, being the same price, always having that extra attack point, and able to receive support from artillery.  but…. you can’t stuff 3 of them on a boat, so its a trade off.

if bombards kills counterattack there won’t be any incentive to buy frigates and battleships

[seth4god]

I’m indifferent to this. It’s powerful, but naval pieces are expensive and transports are limited in what they can carry. So I’m comfortable either way. Besides, not like Russia’s going to be a huge naval player :-p.

[Noll]

UP! looking for more players!

Is it possible to have 1.521 and 1.6 installed on the same machine in different directories or will that cause problems?

yes,

if you are using the windows installer, just install both.  done.  simple.

if you are using the all platforms version, just unzip them to different locations, or zip them to the same location but give the folders different names, or whatever.  you can make shortcuts to the executable, with different names for the shortcuts

for macs, i assume you can install both versions, since noone has ever said you can’t

[wheatbeer]

Thanks just making sure since I have a number of old matches running.

I am okay either way on the issue of bombardment.

[Narushima]

I’m interested. I’ll play as Sweden, because I like their white and blue uniforms (that’s a good reason).

What version of the game are we using?

[wheatbeer]

FFA on engine 1.6 was the consensus I thought.

If there are other options, then I’m not sure they’re sorted yet.

[Noll]

Yeah also dice game, no cheesy LL!

[HuskerMike]

I’ll play Austria.

I have the game installed.
I have signed up for this forum.
I have signed up for the TripleA forum.

1. I’ll see about the dice program.
2. Is diplomacy done here or privately?
3. Is it about 1 round per week?

Mike

[wheatbeer]

Mike,

You shouldn’t need any separate program for dice … it will just use tripleA’s MARTI server if you registered an email.

Diplomacy can be done in the game thread and/or privately.  To make it official (and not secret) you’ll need to do in the game thread.

I could play more than one round a week, but with so many players with different schedules, it’s unlikely it will go much faster than that (my guess anyways).

pug6000 and Narushima, are you guys tripleA users?

Seth,

Since you’ll be up first as France, do you have 1.6 installed already (so we can enjoy free diplomatic actions)?
