What Total War Games do Org Members have?

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Hey guys,
I just realised that this question was not in the public profile of the Org members like it is on Total War Centre. So I, of course, I couldn't resist asking it here, and using the poll option for the first time, so we can all see who has got what game. So guys get voting in my first ever poll! Cheers!

Note to the moderators: If this is not the most suitable place for this thread then feel free to move it to wherever you desire. Thanks! May I also request that somebody with super powers change the poll question to "What Total War games do you have?". Cheers!

Well I've lost my Shogun disc :weeps uncontrollably: so I can't count it at the moment.

[Raz]

XD, I'm not entirely sure why anybody would come here, whilst not owning any of the related games. Of course, unless someone has sold or lost the games, then I understand (I recently lost MTW but I expect it to turn up sooner or later).

I still expect it to have several votes anyway, just for laughs.

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

I don't know why I put it on (read the username ) perhaps I did it because somebody could come to get information about the games before they decide to buy one?

[Poulp']

I checked the RTW box only; I had Shogun but I lend it years ago. (but I burrowed him games the same way too :D )

[Warmaster Horus]

I've got Total War:Eras so that entitles me to all the games besides M2TW

[Monarch]

MTW, RTW + BI and M2TW :)

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

M:TW and VI
R:TW and BI
Shogun

[cegorach]

ALL (except the crappy Alexander)

[The Spartan (Returns)]

Mtw, Rtw, Rtw: Bi, M2

[Lorenzo_H]

ALL (except the crappy Alexander)

How do you know its crappy?

however, I'm regretting getting M2 now.

Why you regretting it? Send your copy to me if you don't like it I think it absolutly rules!

[Ludens]

I have bought the Shogun: Warlord Edition, the Medieval: Battlepack, R:TW, BI (for the mods) and Alexander (still haven't installed it). I am not considering buying M2:TW at this moment. Perhaps later, when the total conversion mods become available. Anyway, between my studies and playing the Europa Barbarorum modification I don't have time for another game.

[Kralizec]

Shogun Gold (it never ran on my PC)
MTW Gold
Rome: Total War, without BI.

[Martok]

Shogun Gold (it never ran on my PC).

Did you ever check in at the Sword Dojo and Apothecary to see if they could help you with that? It's a pity to not be able to run such a terrific game.

[Zalmoxis]

I own Rome and I borrowed Shogun with MI for a while but gave it back. They're both fun games.

[Saulot]

I listed M:TW, M:TW-VI, R:TW, R:TW-BI, and M2:TW.

I first got into this series hearing through word of mouth about what a great game Medieval: Total War was, and I bought it and was quite impressed, growing very absorbed by that game. Consequently, I've collected each new game and watched the series grew in popularity. I didn't get a chance to buy Rome: Total War-Alexander, and Medieval 2 came out soon afterwards, so when I was in a position to get a new game, I opted for the newer one.

César Victor, Oh contre'

WW 1, acutally was the first time in history that Major artillery groupings where used in a war.
And that is why ww1 is also Called, "The Artillery War".

10,000's of them on every side, from small bore 12pdr's to 14in and 16in mortars, in fact, in both ww1 and ww2 the biggest killer of any military equipment, was artillery.
The machine gun was nothing in ww1, when compared to artillery. And, the Tanks and panzers come near the end, believe it or not in ww2.

Quick note: each British Brigade had a Art Regiment Attached, 3 batt of 6 if i remember correctly. 2 or 3 bde's to a division. plus divisional artillery, then corps artillery. then siege park. So about 200 to 300 Artillery peices per Division. About 3 to 5 thousand per army, with out a Artillery Division included for attacks.
NOTE: All Figures are roughly correctly, as i cannot be bothered walking the 11 steps to my filing cabinets.


( Trivia Note: The british, under general haig actually acually developed "worm running", that is sort of like running in zig zag, as they didn't like their french commanders full frontal run straight assult idea.)


I forget the production figures, but British Empire, France and Germany, produced over 100,000 artillery peices each in ww1.

ww1 is a stand out, because of these, the first time to be used enmass.

And hence the name of WW1 is "The Artillery War".
*****************************************************
Aircraft,
No one started off well,

Aug 1914,
RAF (RFC = Royal Flying Corps)..... had about 200 Aircraft, and about 230 pilots. Plus about 90 in Royal Navy Fleet of Air Arm. Initially sent about 50 or 60 each to France with first BEF.
France.. about 140 Aircraft 220 pilots.
Germany... About about 245 Aircraft. Can't remember how many pilots.

No one else worth mentioning, as all had under 50 aircraft of all types.

7 months later in March 1915..All three had about 400 to 450 aircraft.

Trivia
Pilots............the average life span of a pilot was 3 weeks.

Most production of all the different companies, in all three countires could produce about 50 to 150 aircraft a month.

Hence in June 1916 France alone had over 1120 Aircraft, That same month, Britian and france had 386 fighters, vs Germany's 129.

In sept 1916 the hindenburg program in Germany had been in effect, and begun to produce over 1050 aircraft per month. thats over 13000 a year.
You where saying about hardly any?

France actually produce far more than anyone, But only half of there planes ever got to the front for operational duties.

fast forward here
Aug 1917, France 2335 planes
Britian 1890 Planes
Germany 1200 Planes.

All three where producing aircraft at the rate of over 1200 aircraft per month. by june 1916.
So for 1917 alone...... thats about 15,000 aircraft each, or about 45,000 between the three.
Of course by this stage, Italy, USA, Austria, and Russia had all got in on the Act.

I don't know about You César Victor, but I reckon about 110k of aricraft in 1917 is a lot.

Edit:
In 1918 Britian out stripped eveyone, they produce 32,000 Aircraft. And Winston Churchill was minister for Munitions.



fenir <== oh yeah i been bad.

No, I always assumed it was my Nvidea card that gave me trouble. I can't run MTW either without using an old driver.
Maybe I'll browse through the Dojo and Apothecary later, can't hurt to give it a try.

[César Victor]

I doubt it, but maybe you were having the same trouble I had with STW at first. I found that, without the patch, STW wouldn't load and play properly but with it, the game worked fine.

You missed the part where I said that I have the Gold edition

[Braden]
