Why do you 'like' this game?

Interesting, rarely used setting (early 20th Century)
Good mix of strategy and management gameplay, but with simple rules
Semi-freeform diplomacy (and backstabbings!)
All of the above
I'm just forum game addict and gotta play'em all

Updated map on the geopolitical situation since turn start (includes Arcadia's turn). Should be right unless I screwed up along the way.
EDIT: Which I did, by not noticing the problem with rpgeek's spawn :x (just move one of the 2 to rp's capital)

Turn 2.6

Chemical Warfare was modified; it grants +1 to the user with 25% risk it will become -1 instead.

Advanced Engineering was added; it allows mountain passes to be crossed instantly as long as there are Railroads on both sides, plus allows 2 PIs to be built in the same province in the same turn.

I believe it represents the nation not having enough food/ammo/other supplies to sufficiently maintain that army.

Didn't ask why, asked when.

Ie, beginning of your turn, beginning of month, moment you go over the cap ...

Ahh, my bad. I believe it is the beginning of the month, at the same time as new unit production.

Can we voluntarily disband a unit at the end of our turn to avoid that?

So we can be completely screwed over by that random chance if we're keeping an army in place at a chokehold, and the only way we might be able to get around it is to instead throw a different unit as a suicide squad at an enemy army if we foresee having our max army cap reduced?

Who knows; that suicide squad might put you back under the cap!

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Don't lose territories so your max army cap won't go below your army limit? Not to mention that losing territories mostly involves getting some of your own armies wrecked, thus putting your army size back under the limit :P
