Okay I got the file but can't run it because I don't have VIP - thus it might also be something specific to how VIP does Switzerland or forts or that province in particular (in vanilla it's Life is 35% which should give no penalties).

The attrition in the save game is caused by bad climate and not by forts. If you place a division in Basel and hold your pointer over the attrition marker you see it is receiveing +4 attrition from "bad climate".

The ones with no attrition are in provinces with no bad climate.

First of all: Ahh yes, I did indeed mistype it to be Savegame.zip, when in was supposed to be savefile.zip, thanks for nightcap for noticing this.


Bad climate? Wait. My armies in my home province, in full forts, get attrition? :eek:

Not even in EUII and mideval armies running around, would I get attrition in my own provinces!


Oh well, I guess that explains it. :)


So then, my mistake jumping into conclusions... :eek:o

This is variable. Both the French and Germans had good invasion maps in 1870. However when the fighting turned out all to be in France they were at a disadvantage- the French had no maps of their own country.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

No, I can't believe this. Is it really true? I mean, it sounds like something out of an anti-war play?!

I wouldn't be surprised. Consider that before the Franco-Prussian war, Louis Napoleon himself came up with a plan of how to invade Prussia and defeat them in a lightning campaign. Problem was, he forgot to include plans for mobilization, so when time came for it there were no railroad schedules, no transportation schedules, nothing. The French didn't even have anyone responsible for dealing with troop transportation until they appointed someone a month after the war began...

I wonder if the germans had plans of theirs. If they were both planning on fighting on the other's soil... :)

Not quite. A trench has a very definite front, with a rampart and a firing step, and a back with a dugout and communications trenches running back to the rear.

The sides of the trenches are called "parapet" and "parados". AFAIK, those names originate in "chest" and "back", respectively.

Check out http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWWparados.htm for a cross-section of a normal trench.

It's what I learnt at school. No doubt this contributed to the encirclement of several French armies during the war.

Whether the Germans had maps of their own territory or not is another question- but the Germans tend to be effecient like that.
