Thank you so much!
Speculation on Africa
-
Yeah I am dissapointed in the lack of a German navy anywhere around there, sure there were only really two engagments but they still played a part in distracting the royal navy. I will probably add one in if it looks like it wont unbalance the game. But I think Germany is just supposed to give the allies a turn or two of a hard time, and force them to make a decisions regarding the Germans in Central Africa, and the Ottomans in the Sinai and how they react. Also, I want to see an Italian invasion of Ethiopia just for fun :-D

We’re not even sure they spawn units atm. I personally don’t think they will.
Why not just use Flashy-boy’s idea for askaris and say that each colony has a single askari defending?

Africa should not be in the Game - big mistake
They should have used the A&A Europe 1999 edition map

Agreed!

True, they could’ve just used North Africa and no-one would have cared. Plus, we’d have room for more territories in Europe and could do away with this East Prussia nonsense.

That doesn’t look like my original A&A Europe map. That is a variant/house rule!

I sure hope they do, other wise Germany gets free reign over Central Africa. Plus it wouldn’t be very logical or accurate.

Then again historical accuracy is second to game balance. I just feel like France has no teeth in Africa and if the Portuguese and Belgian colonies don’t get troops, then Britain has to take all of Africa and hold off the Ottomans on their own.
I’m also surprised that German East Africa only gets 1 infantry given that this incredible b��t��d was never defeated.

Though A&A games have never really depicted guerrilla warfare before.
That is really truly epic. Thank you.

Are you sure you got an original copy, and not just some cheap pirat copy made by Frank Xeno ?
-
Yes mine is the original A&A Europe.
Not sure what yours is, must be a fan created variant.
-
Yeah France was not in the old Europe

Amazing person and an amazing field commander. Truly the end of an era in military leadership.
