Moon Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Hello fantomas, thanks, we know Syberstratege very well and the owner Theóphile. You will notice a large preview of Histwar in the current issue, and a number of other articles about our games. By the way, a localized french version of SC2 will appear in stores in France later this year through our partner Walkon, which are also doing a German release.

fantomas Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 French version ? Youpi !!!!!!!!!!!!! Other suggestion : It would be nice to organize here espace for downloading (mods, icons, patches, utilities, etc...) : I think due the game will be 10000 % moddable with unit, countries, map and scenarios editors, you will have a great number of different mods : 14-18, Pacific war, Civil war, american independance war, Spain civl war, Russian civil war, war of Falklands, Roman empire, etc... It would be good to concentrate them here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributar Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 It's too-bad that CYBER STRATEGE doesn't have a tab or icon to press to have the website in English!...i would love to be able to read it!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaoJah Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Originally posted by fantomas: Other suggestion : It would be nice to organize here espace for downloading (mods, icons, patches, utilities, etc...)There are already sites made for that I prefer quality of quantity : I'm afraid that there will be alot of mods, but only very, very, very few with good AI scripts. Waterloo would be nice too, I love to play that battle. It ALWAYS puzzles me how Napoleon could loose that battle, surely the AI could do better then him there !

Colin I Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 OTaoJah Waterloo: There are lots of reasons why Napoleon lost. One of his weaknesses was he was a great attacking general but less able in other situations. This lead to some great victories but Wellington himself commented that Napoleon had no idea how to fight a defensive battle. At Waterloo Napoleon expended huge casualties assaulting very well defended British positions. And his assault tactics were less effective because of the excellent British firepower. Another weakness was he was light on cavalry and Napoleonic wafrare was very much combined arms. There was also Grouchy's miscoordination and the French lost the preliminary battles. And yes, it was still close...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuniworth Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I have visited the battlefield south of Waterloo(near Mont saint jean) twice. It's a rather small area and it looks almost like it did in 1815. The head-on assault did surely cost to much casualties. Napoleon tried a diversion at Hougomont but Wellington refused to move more troops than necessary there bleeding Jerome's troops dry. Maybe Napoleon should have combined the attack by I corps with an assault on the right part of the english center to stretch english reserves. But it's far from sure that would have succeeded.

Retributar Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Has everyone forgotten that the whole Prussian Army showed up on the French Flank...thereby making it impossible to continue on with assaulting the British forces?. Not only that...but that also one of the heaviest or more than heavy seasonal rainfalls had just taken place the night before..thereby making the overall situation even more difficult in every way to contend with!. Not only that...but Napoleone had 1/3rd of his army sent on a Goose-Chase chasing after the Prussians by an 'Inept' and so these 40,000 troops of his were never used in the Waterloo battle!.

Slapaho Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Thanks fantomas, didn't even know that site existed! I have already [pre]-ordered my copy but I think I can buy it also when it comes out in French If USA or GB had been connected German neighbours in 1939, do you think they would of survived?

fantomas Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Certainly not : They had no military engineering of France. French operations in 1940 were a model of the kind : recession of the centre, feint, then recession again, and again, and again, and again, again, again and to finish, envelope by wings with the angles and Saxon mercenaries and grip with lapel. Obviously, that took 4 years, but this plan was absolutely brilliant. I think that GB or USA would not be able to elaborate and perfectly excute this great operation... Only France can do that sort of brillant things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 You kidding me? Dude, you know how many fanatics we have in the USA when we fight for freedom? Think of the natural defenses we have...just the mountains alone. You know how many hunters & gunslingers would fight? Throw in the city gang thugs with the country boys. USA rocks!
