One of my co-workers lives in Huntsville, AL. He lost some trees in his backyard while his neighbor lost a good portion of his roof. These people are in my prayers. There is a good chance for more storms tomorrow.

My folks (aunt and cousins) in Birmingham didn't tell me that there was tornado (let alone F5) - they said that it was heavy storm...

The video above was from Tuscaloosa not Birmingham. Tuscaloosa got the F5.

Below is video from Birmingham. I don't know what rating it is. Doesn't look quite as bad as the one above.

All is OK... got it touch with my folks in Birmingham... aunt lives in big apartment building - there was no problem. Her daughter is also living in near-by apartment building and she is also OK. Her son and his family live in a house and they have a tree down in a yard and no electricity but otherwise all is OK with them as well...

You really scared me with news of F5 in Birmingham...

He wants to be in politics. Being a cretin is a prerequisite for that.

Don't let the bad hair dominate the conversation about Trump. There's plenty of room in the conversation for what a slimy, front-running, bankruptcy-mongering moron he really is too. Of course, this is getting into politics (particularly for non-American THREAD posters) too much, so I'll just leave that there.

It's bad enough that we've had actors get involved in politics, but if America stoops to electing Reality TV stars then I am afraid that there really is no hope for the future...

And that's the end of my political rant!

it was almost uplayable when it first arrived...there have been some major improvements since then...playing the AI is only good for learning the mechanics...the game shines in PBEM multi-player...

I'm not.

I've played 2 multiplayer games in EiA, one of them as Spain. I've never played pbem in EiA. I managed to stay neutral as Spain in my multiplayer game and was able to obtain Portugal, Morrocco and Algeria w/ England's agreement. Unfortunately, once France was able to get Austria and Prussian on the rotation, you can guess who was next.

If your situation is similar the one I had you might as well preempt the Yankees, er France, by joining them sooner rather than later. Prepare your port defenses as much as you can. Leave a corp or two w/i marching range of your main fleet base (I used Cadiz, iirc that's the 2 point fortress). You can also leave one or two one-factor corps in the Cadiz area to keep him guessing. Those positions can also be reversed. A problem w/ concentrating in Cadiz is that England will usually put Nelson in the blockading fleet. Your fleet is the only reason that you're important to France or England. Once its gone you're just a source of vps. If you decide to go to the dark side wait until after 07's gold shipment comes due (September?).

If Austria and Prussia are still occupying France's attention, I'd keep neutral as long as possible while trying to negotiate a slice of N. Africa from England and Turkey and maybe another neutral in Italy w/ the agreement of France and AH. Once Austria and Prussia are on the rotation you don't have much leverage left w/ France unless he's interested in invading England.

Great game. Hope you're enjoying it.
