As a note to the members of this forum who also post on historic-battles.com, following a server problem the forum is now back online. I'm afraid that we've lost the database of old posts though, and you'll have to re-register.

With the kind agreement of XIII, I advertised the start of this competition on this forum a couple of months ago. I'm now pleased to announce that the four entries into the article competition are now available. In order of their author's last name, the four articles are: The War Comes to...

I must say that the number of people nominating the German Army of WW2 as their favourite military of all time is rather disturbing. Let's not forget that that Army played a critical role in the Nazis rise to power and was responsible for launching numerous wars of agression which lead the the...

After a mere two years of development, my scenario Appeasement and Agression is now available at: The scenario covers the World War Two era in Europe from 1936 to 1949. It features a totally new tech tree, innovative unit stats and seeks to model the economic and military balance between the...

Over the years I've noticed that a disproportionate amount of discussions on WW2 are dedicated to ways by which Germany could have won the war. In addition, there seem to be countless discussions on how great German weaponry was and how the (aparently perfect) German Generals really lucked out...

Sas's website http://www.historic-battles.com has just established a links forum which, I've been given the job of moderating. If you're sitting on some great links on military history, I invite you to surf over to http://www.historic-battles.com/yabbse/index.php?board=76 and add them to the...

Rather then post this in a billion game threads, I thought that I'd post this just the once. The reason that I'm behind in playing some of my turns is that my MGE CD is broken (literally - it's suddenly developed a crack). I'm going to try the No CD patch, and I'll get back to you all this...

Check out my lame website at: http://www.geocities.com/nick_dowling2002/index.html (I made it in half an hour yesterday, so please go easy on me) I've noticed that most people seem to have heaps of abandoned scenarios cluttering up their hard drive. Rather then having this effort go to...

To quote Issac Asimov, "war is the last resort of the incompetent". In your opinion what is the war that had the most to do with incompetance, and the least to do with logic?

As a general resource, how about we compile a list of scenarios which are suitable for PBEM/MP Play? (perhaps this thread could be topped *hint* *hint*) Here's all the ones which spring to mind: 2195 Days of War - WW2 around the world from December 1941 (note: the SP version of this...

In a scenario I'm currently working on I've accidently allowed a city with an important wonder to be destroyed by famine, thereby destroying the wonder :o Is there anyway to 'resurect' the wonder, and have it advailable for building?

I'm surprised that this old historical arguament hasn't come up yet. In your opinion, which of these great generals was more talented? Patton Pros: Brilliant at open warfare, good at training and motivating his men Cons: Headstrong and reckless at times. This often resulted in unnessesary...

I'm considering making a scenario about modern Africa, but I'm short of suitable civs. I'm intending the scenario to be called 'The African Renascence' (sp?), and cover the spread of liberal democracy through Africa in the near future (i.e.: South Africa and the UN kicking dictator butt :D)...

This scenario is now finished, and I've sent the files to Civ Fanatics and Apolyton for posting. In the meantime, it's advailable from: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40459
