Radyserb, we could not contact you as your PM box was full up. I hope you will be up for this game. If not then just say and we will recruit a replacement

Before we begin I wanted to clarify some house rules. Here are my ideas, please feel free to discuss!

- No pillaging of roads or stackable!

- Tech trading forbidden

- Unit trading allowed

- City trading allowed

- Should Nukes be allowed?

- Should Railroads, which appear later in the game, be allowed?

- Any other rules to add?

[Karlheinz]

- City trading allowed

[Eivind]

You know this scenario is unfinished? Major flaws were found, and he never attended to fix them before he retired.

Solutions?:

- No nukes

- No pollution / global warming

- Higher tech paradigm

- Sort out the trade payoffs and/or freight cost

Thanks for the heads up Eivind. You have saved us from starting a game that won't work as it should do. I was not a member of Apolyton when this scenario came out and I just assumed that it was a fully functioning scenario as it was available for dl at Spanish Apolyton.

Bear in mind that the guys at Apolyton were playing a game designed for PBEM in single player mode. If the tech rate can be adjusted to the intended level by tweaking the tech paradigm and trade can be kept in check then there is nothing unfixable.

I will take a look at the bugs tommorow evening and see what I can do to fix them. Should not be too hard!

[McMonkey]

Ok, the fixed PBEM mod is available to download now. Please find the link in post #1. Be sure to download this new version as more than just the graphics have been altered.

Pollution has been turned off to prevent global warming. The tech paradigm has been changed from 6/10 to 18/10. This has slowed down research considerably but as trade is the key to PBEM's this should not be a problem. I have altered the game text to prevent the pillagging of Roads and stackable terrain.

I could not be bothered to mess around with the rules file to eliminate nukes and Railroads. There is a house rule forbidding the construction and the use of nukes. If we later decide that either of these should be allowed we can still use them!

I would have liked to eliminate barracks in the style of John Ellis' scenarios so units must gain experience in combat but decided that was too much work. We can always make an improved version at a later date once we have thoroughly tested the game!

City defences have been reduced in cost to 0 gold. I suggest all nations build them in all cities to prevent their destruction, much as we do in Bonaparte!

It looks like Russia goes first so I will play and post this evening. Fingers crossed this will prove to be a fun game

[Cobra]

fine I´m going to test it right now

What exactly are cavalry and sappers there for? In any respect regulars are better and they are cheaper

[McMonkey]

Cavalry was basically obsolete by WWII so thats cool. Sappers are infantry with settler abilities. If you don't think a unit is useful then don't build it

Remember, I did not build this game so I take none of the blame!

[Historical Atze]

I don't want to blame you, I wanted to clarify this. Settler - got that. Nice - why are they called sappers and not pioneers?

PS: If cavalry is obsolete, why integrate it into the game - and not ... dunno. Other tanks, ships, fighters or stuff? Well - I don't blame you, but I have to blame someone and pick randomly ... I pick Monkey. Ok, I blame Monkey .

[McMonkey]

I guess he placed Cavalry as it was historically accurate. Although they were used little in Western armies the Russians used Cossacks to some effect. The Polish still used Cavalry but they were of little use against Panzers.

There are some problems with the game but nothing too major...I hope. Playing now!

SOVIET FOREIGN POLICY:

Foreign trade is permitted to unload their cargo in Soviet ports. Should any nation wish to trade with the interior cities of the USSR please consult with my Foreign Minister to negotiate a permit!

The Baltic States
The Soviet Union will allow no foreign meddling in Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania!

Bulgaria
The Soviet Union seeks to strengthen ties with its old friend Bulgaria and we will not tolerate foreign aggression against this country!

Turkey
The Soviet Union wishes for Turkey to remain Neutral. Any attempt by a foreign nation to close our access to the Mediterranean will feel the wrath of the Soviet Navy.

Yugoslavia
The Soviet Union will support its Slavic brethren against any foreign aggression.

Poland and Romania
The Soviet Union makes no claim to these countries, however any foreign takeover will be seen as a threat to the USSR!

Sorry, ich habe im Moment überhaupt keine Lust, ein neues PBEM anzufangen...

[Jerec]

...If not then just say and we will recruit a replacement

No need to draft some poor fellow. I volunteer to take Britain, if there are no objections.

EDIT: quote problem
