Where are the CoE players?
I think numbers don't really matter - as long as they are in proportion. Any way, it isn't about how much you have got, it is what you do with it that is important!! As most people's armies have just swanned around sightseeing - with the notable exception of my magnificent redcoats of course who have been battering somebody since 1801 - the numbers don't really matter - more troops, the quicker you use up all the sun cream:laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:
I will now retreat to my country house to await the howls of anguish:inquisitive:
Tell Nelson I hope he is happy destroying my navy in 1801. :laugh4:
I don't think a nation needs to have 15 million men of course. But KK, lets be realistic. Do you think if Austria attacks Russia for example, 50,000-100,000 men isn't going to subdue them. Napoleon had 556,000 men and he still failed.
If Prussia attacks me for example, I don't think me sending 2 SOL'S and 10,000 troops will take Berlin.
Well it kind of depends. If we look at Waterloo France had less then 100 000 men, while allies bit more then 100k. Now ofcourse i do think that the change in armies which accurred during 19th century would be a nice thing to show, but in the end i dont think it is not much about popular opinion.More about how Franc wants to deal with armies, upkeep ,etc.
I couldn't care less about the numbers as long as it represents the balance of that time. I think that there are other changes to be made that could make the CoE more interesting.
What about giving each nation a goal to work towards?
Well, basically none of the two main options. Basically, the armies increased throughout the XIXth century so a slow, evolutionary increase would be historically accurate. But a sudden burst of big numbers, that is definately unacceptable! I hate revolutionary changes! ~;)
