Version 11.6 FRANCE 2.1

OK thanks, that isn't very clear on the legend

Btw, the post that I was griping about Paris being too easy...we won that game... coming from the South with only 2 of our 4 team members left. I STILL think 5 neutrals are too low. By the time we got there it was held by a player that had put 1 on all the victory conditions except the foreign claim. I had 2 armies of over 30 and rolled right over him and won the game in 3 moves.

We are having the rematch right now....everyone seems to want the South regions for the troop count...there are 2 differrent colors (team members) ON the outer ring of Paris...WHY? IF everyone but one team member (4 player teams) drops on thier guy, he can clear out around (especially if spoils are dropped on him too) and have the game won in under 10 turns.

In the game we won...we had NO idea any of the victory conditions were being held by anyone..we suspected one team had it, but it turned out to be the other weaker team. We won so all my whining should go by the wayside. But Paris is just TOO FAR North, and once we all get used to it, it will become one of those maps that only a few play because a few players can win it in no time.

LOL, and YES, we do play trench/Parachute (what a GREAT addition to the game).

Again, just a players opinion....still love the map as it is without a doubt one of the prettier maps, right up there with Eurasia!!

well this is true only because you play it in trench/parachute, as you said, and also because there is 3 teams, 2 teams changes that, although I assume with parachute you could also try a rush to objective, trench without parachute make it usually a bad move.
In all settings excluding trench, it is rarely interessant to go quickly to objective.

I've played the map quite a few and with different setting, including some trench, and objective have very rarely been used for the victory.

And, finally, changes will be made ( I believe) so that you can conquer foreign claim from neighbouring regions, with foreign claim being able to bombard paris, this should mainly solve the issue that you are raising since there is some foreing claim accesible from South and east of the map. ( which is minor and not really an issue imo, since when you play objective+trench, blocking anyone from being able to secure the objective should be a top priority in your strategy!!!)

I currently hold Paris and the Suburbs plus all foreign claims and 2 regional claims (Seine-Maritime and Euro), which I have held for one full round. Shouldn't I have won?

Seine Maritime and Eure et Loire aren't the regional claim. You also need Manche, Calvados and Orne to have this regional claim.

To hold a regional claim you need to have all regions with the same flag on them.

Thanks for the advice, I won the game a few rounds later by taking Haute-Corse and Corse-du-Sud. Fortunately it was a fog game so no-one could see what I was up to

For Beta you don't need to go back through the XML check. I just need links to all files here in the thread. I take the files and test them on the Beta site as long as everything works I will recommend upload to the main site and pass the file onto bigWham.
