People should read these rules:

And then these are the tables we should use, I guess (same author)? http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/24546

Yeah.

And Del, the prevailing opinion I encountered is that the game is more suited for PBEM than F2F, something I can easily believe, seeing how it still has a PBEM community. Perhaps the naysayers were F2Fing it.

Great White Fleet anybody?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

NEWSFLASH: I have found a 5MBs large CB box for this game! It lacks a scenario file, and I can't open it at work, but will report back. If we do start this game, it should not be hard to make a scenario file.

Well the gamebox is not that ugly, but ain't that special either. I say we go with the small fugly one.

So where is Berkut, and where can we start? Del, you wanna' play :P

I'd rather play that when the new edition comes out.   ;)
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I simply love Republic of Rome, but I find it to be very tedious in PBEM.

I had a fun time playing RoR online...oh wait that never happened because someone dropped out but never said anything...

No it wasn't you, but I left out the culprit so as to protect the guilty and to make you look bad. :hug:

Okay, so I'm more of a Traveller nerd than a grognard, but still! :angry:
FFW had one of the worst reps for single-player games going, because of the mechanics.  I found that, with a few rules changes, and a set of die roll lookup tables, it was outstanding as a solo game, and it was always outstanding as a FTF game.

Few understood it, though, and so it ended up in a lot of trash heaps.

I wish someone would resurrect the entire series.

I am still In Like Flynn.

Of course, I was nuts enough to do TaT, so that's a given.

I am giving serious thought to TaT4 if this doesn't work out.  The summer looks boring right now, and we have FB as the perfect Serbia, and a delightful mix of people for the various parties in the majors.
