Help start the 18thC mod happen!

[G-Klav]

I've done the French, Prussian, Austrian and Sardinian OOB's based on what you posted a few pages back.

My German atlas says that the Netherlands should have Malacca, Singapore and that province above Singapore as well.
It also turns out that the Italian empire of Austria should be reduced to Milan and Tuscany.

Europe, v.03:

well done....have you used the OOB's posted a few pages back, or the ones above, as the ones above are more accuarte etc..

On War.com (lots of infoof every war from 1800 to present)

hopefully these can help out others to make evnts, as i cannot make evnts all the time, plus i canot come up with good enough ideas on how to simulate some of the events and wars etc.

 

[Lord Boreal]

Sweet, I'll use them to update the War of 1812 events tomorrow

 

[Kaiser Franz]

i hearby name you, Lord Boreal, the head of the North American events and research division.....plus any other land or region you can help out with..

 

[Lord Boreal]

Wohoo! An official title! I shall update my sig, which is actually a bit large anyway

 

[G-Klav]

well done....have you used the OOB's posted a few pages back, or the ones above, as the ones above are more accuarte etc..

I'm currently using the OOB's posted a few pages back, as I made them yesterday night, before you posted the new ones. I'll correct them during the week.
Could you post accurate locations for the Prussian divisios (my geography skills made the French setup quite easy, it's probably not 100% correct, but they should be OK).
Also, could you try to find more thorough (sp.?) information on Russia and Ottoman Empire? It's difficult to randomly place 40 divisions on the map (for each country!)
:wacko:

Edit: In the new OOB's, Austria looks extremely powerful. Are you sure they had that many divisions?

 

[Kaiser Franz]

Edit: In the new OOB's, Austria looks extremely powerful. Are you sure they had that many divisions?

well considering thats 3 divisions less than they had, the Austrian army in 1792 odd had about 300,000 men in it, so that just under the number of those in it, but i'm sure we can make about 4 of those divisions irregulars (there were 48,000 Grenzer frontier troops in 1792) etc

as for the Russian and Turkish OOB's i can't find out much else, thats about it. I'd suggest either we down size the amount of divisions for them or we just chose the most important areas and put an army with 5 divisions there, for example:

Moscow (Army of the Guards - 5 Divisions with guard attach etc)
Kiev (I. Line Army - 5 Divisions)
Warsaw (II. Line Army - 5 Divisions)
Lithuania? (III. Line Army - 5 Divisions)
Caucasus (IV. Line Army - 5 Divisions)
Crimea (V. Line Army - 5 Divisions)
Ukariane-Belarus (I. Cavalry Army - 5 Cavalry Div)
Moscow (Army of the Guards Cavalry - 5 Cavakry Div with Guard Attach etc)


This is my basic idea...so i'd suggest something like that, as for the Turks, something very similar, just instead of moscow and Kiev, you have Constantinople and Damascus... hope this helps..

 

[Lord Boreal]

300,000 troops? You'd have to be carefull because giving them too much might make them just overrun France, and we wouldn't want that would we?

 

[Kaiser Franz]

Yes...but the only Austrian units actualy at the start of the scenario taht would be able to mount a threat are the armies of the Upper and Lower Rhine, with the Army of Italy in close third, as the French would have to charge through there, plus you forget the Levy event, which adds about 10 Regular Divisions and 10 Irregular divisions, actualy it increased the French army by 300,000 men, but i'd think giving them 30 odd divisions is a bit over powering, that would mean they'd out number the Austrians, Sardinians and British all put together.


EDIT:
Maratha Confed. OOB, well only 1 army, but thats a start...
Army of Hindustan (25-30,000 men, 2 Infantry Divisions, 1 under strength Cavalry Div.)

 

[G-Klav]

I've corrected the Austrian and Prussian OOB's. All in all, these are done: UK (only army), British India, Austria, France (army), Prussia, Sardinia & USA.

To me, the army in the Netherlands looks as it could pose a threat as well...

Edit: Should Poland be a Russian satellite? I think it would be the best solution, as that was pretty much the situation.
And I have begun working on Russia.

 

[Kaiser Franz]

This should help in your quest for Polish knowledge....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish-Lithuanian_Commonwealth
there are links to other bits of Polish history within that article as well..so hopefully that should help you.

 

[unmerged(41665)]

If you want a map of Europie from 1740, that there have you.

 

[Kaiser Franz]

thanks a lot, when we eventualy get to the 1740 scenario we will be able to use this...
also G-Klav, we should think of being a little economic about the tags, as with the period from 1740 to 1792, we might not realise how many other nations there were that we haven't already thought abut yet, for example the Mughal empire...

But anyway, i'd thought about the names for the different campaigns...some we might be able to finish off, others we might have to drop but here are a few ideas for future development...

1740: The Seven Years War or 18th century Grand Campaign
1775: Age of the Revolution!
1792: The French Revolutionary Wars or Rise of Napoleon
1812: The Downfall of Napoleon
1815: the Hundred Days Campaign

some are just ideas, but if we feel like it soon enough i'm sure we can eventualy get most of these things done, but we best finish off the current 1792 scen we are doing now..

EDIT: would it be possible to get a close up of that map, mainly around the area of Germany, as its hard to find maps showing the different states within Germany in 1740 odd..

there are spaces for their pictures, which hopefully someone will do....i've attempted a few, so maybe they might help fill in...but these are the Prussian for now.

 

[Kaiser Franz]

Oh and you wanted a flag for the Marathas...well here it is..

hope that helps...

 

[Lord Boreal]

Sorry about the absense of event updates, I am incredibly busy, only about 2 weeks left until Uni so I;ve got loads of shit to sort out. Ill get them up as soon as I can. Fear not mon amis!

 

[Kaiser Franz]

no worries old friend...continue the good fight!!!

I'm using Bastar (BAS) for the Marathas, and the VIP-tags currently (with the addition of Würzburg, Liège, Genua and Rhine Palatinate of course).
I haven't had so much time to work on this in the past week, school is starting and everything...
I've corrected the errors in Africa I was aware of, the Sudan thing and the Dutch Kaap-Kolonië (don't know if it's the right name, but it certainly looks cool ), so all that is left now is British Australia (you would know about that, I presume?).
I'll continue with the OOB's, but the rest of the events will probably have to wait for a while of that's OK.

 

[Kaiser Franz]

good to hear, when you have finished everything..can you make this avaliable for download, everything we have done so far or at least the map, i'd like to check it out and give my personal opinion in the whole playing of it, plus i'd like to show case the map in the AAR section as a PR sort of gesture..hopefully we could get some more help etc...
