Rollcall and Other Misc. Statistics

It's just in such a disadvantageous position is all. It helps to think of the Pacific coast as a colony, I guess. Holding Finland helps a little with the situation in the Baltic. The Black Sea will depend on the Ottomans, but with Rocky staffing the Ottomans, that's one of biggest plusses to me.

Also, I guess I'm not too motivated by land armies, but Germany would have the same problem, so that nets out as a wash.

I found the startup BP, but can someone point me to each nation's first year IC and BP budget? Or does that depend on what you spend on to start with?

*goes digging* Its all here, but copped the relivent bits below.
Russia: Pop of 149.9 million, 19.5 IC, 12 BP. Startup of 360BP to be spent on Naval Infra (20% maximum) and Naval ships. Anything land-based is declared, but is subject to review (had no real issues outside of India so far). For tech, it is assumed that everyone has everything pre-1890 and that techs between 1890 and 1897 become available 3 years after there research dates during the startup period.

Honestly, I think the dynamic between Russia-China-Japan is going to be much different from OTL as it is a true three-power area, not two powers and a punching bag that we hope never gets it act together. Going to mean that politicking is more important and war is less likely to be a mano-el-mano show as with the historical Ruso-Japanese war.

Thanks.

This may be true, but Russia can't hope to concentrate enough forces in the East to counteract both China and Japan. Its only hope is to ally with one of them...

Or make them fight eachother...

It would be a diplomatic challenge, yes.

Now there is some cruisery opportunities now that Japan has the Philippines. ;-) That very much changes the dynamic for the USA, btw. Much of US naval strategy was predicated on needing to be able to fight through to Manila.

I think with a much stronger China than historical, there would be more incentive for Russia reach some agreement with Japan. There's likely to be less friction between Japan and Russia since Manchuria is no longer a sphere of influence to be fought over.

If I remember right the slowdown in the simulation was that I gave you both the results of turn 3 and never received orders for turn 4.  We can pick it up again if you'd like?  We're really not that far off from first contact.

Although, to be honest, I wasn't entirely sure either one of you would be aggressive enough at first.

I'm to use to Helo inserts from Wargame: Red Dragon allowing me to take important points and then camp so hard I run out of marshmallows.

[Logi]

Well... strategic depth and all that.

[Walter]

So if I read it correctly, snip, you ran out of marshmallows at the end of turn 3. :)

Pretty much.

Here is the completed sample sim report I mentioned. It's also Japan's 1900 sim report.

Enjoy.

I really like the look of this guy. Will try and get 'Murica all put in so we have another example.

I think there is a slight error with the Revenue calculation.

Code Select Expand

= (B7*0.1) + IF(C7 >= B7, 2*B7, C7) + IF(C7 >= 2*B7, B7, IF(C7 >= B7, C7-B7, 0)) + IF(C7 >= 2*B7, 0.5*(C7 - 2*B7), 0)
It seems like it is multiplying POP by two rather then IC by two for when the IC is less then POP. Per the econ rules

Each IC produces an amount depending on which bracket it falls in, similar to how progressive taxes are calculated. There are three brackets based on the region's

^Pop⁄_IC

ratio.

Revenue	Satisfies
$2	Pop⁄IC ≤ 1
$1	1 > Pop⁄IC ≤ 2
$0.5	Pop⁄IC > 2

[Logi]

Here's the corrected version.

- The error in revenue calculation was fixed
- The error in Ship Construction required BP not showing up was fixed
