The Struggle for Europe PBEM

[Case]

Belgrade has fallen to the German army. Yugoslavia's many ethnic groups will now prosper under German rule

Hello everyone!!

Sorry for breaking in but I noticed that Spain has lost it's leader. I played this game very often especially with Spain and Germany. Against the AI I also was able to run over Europe with Spain. I was stopped at the German/Russian border. But at least an impressive Empire given the starting position. I know that against experienced human players I won't get so far But I would love to play this game against humans especially with Spain.

thx

I'm ok with that. Welcome aboard!

To Soviets, Allies and France: Turkey wishes to hold strict neutrality in current war, therefore we can't take money and promise that we don't excange techs with Germany in future at all. But we expect that our science-excange agreements with you stay in force.

To Spain: we propose free science-excange treaty between our countries.

ahem one question guys: a strange thing seemed to happen, I can no longer build the german Tanks but instead a strange mixture of Allied/Soviet and Axis Infantry and some very weak tanks. Furthermore all Cities are producing less food and began to starve. It is a strange thing as it did not happen before in my games and I loaded the correct files and also did the Delevent thing.

Greetings,

Did you run the file named "Europe.bat" (I think thats it for this game, maybe not. I am not at my home pc right now. You must select Winter '40-'41. If that isnt the problem, it might be due to the fact that this is a special PBEM test version. Did Marko give you the special set of files for this game? Other that that, I dunno.

Well it seems as it work now, I've downloaded the files again and voila no famine anymore

Btw I took the files from the first page of this thread thought these were the correct ones and with these I played my turn and posted it.

You did everything right. The three zips from first page of the thread are all what is needed (plus sounds from the original TSFE).

I wonder that you managed to conquer Axis with Spain. It is a great achievement! Was it with original TSFE or this new PBEM version (1.9)?

[Imperial-Markus]

Ah it was with the original TSFE I did not even know there was a second part produced till I downloaded the files, saw the bunch of new units, wondered about half of an hour what is going on and afterwards realized it is another version
Thought you were playing with the old one. So ít looks like you're also one of the creators that give their scenario a new run with nemonization. But their looking really good and I consider your scen as one of the best concerning the historical accuracy. At first I was a little bit confused seeing so many files but after I played a few turns I couldn't stop.
Well I'm a special kind of player that wants to play with minor powers in the scens. It is a kind of challenge for me to see how much I can achieve with a civ that isn't state of the art from the start. Perhaps I should have said in my past post that of course in the beginning I had also major setbacks and had to restart the game but I think I figured out how to do it. Actually it is not too hard of course this works only against the dump AI. At first you need a low profile don't let yourself be pushed into a war and build up your forces and the economy. Secondly you need to wait for the right moment to strike a surprise attack. The best choice is when all the Axis forces are entangled somewhere in Russia than you can roll up the whole front from behind. But as I said earlier near the Russian/German border I was stopped. So I had to build up strength again but now with all of France/Spain and a great part of Germany and Italy in my back this will be done in the near future.
So once again you've done a really good job but I would like to know how long did it take before you finished the first TSFE. I mean with all these eventfiles it must be a long time. I think you actually need a couple of month to create a standard scen.
So keep up the good work.
Sincerely
Your fan

I am going to be gone from June 21st to July 1st. And I wanted to know if anyone wanted to take over while I was gone before I have get someone new from outside.

[The ANZAC]

Marko: do you want to take over for the Allies while I am away? If so you can get my password from Case.

It took me 1,5 years to make the original TSFE. I also made an upgrade (version 1.1) a month later but didn't released it - only gave a link to it in a scenario thread in Civfanatics.

Now TSFE 2 is almost ready and I'm playtesting it. The scenario has around a dozen new tricks which haven't been used in any scenario before for making the AI better. So I hope it will be interesting, once finished.

Yes, I'll play as Allies.

[The ANZAC]

Sure take over. Two things first before you release: I hope to make some important changes to the SOMUA S-35 and two I haven't made a Matilda Mk I and I doubt I can You might want to find someone to do that.

[Marko]

No important news.
