God I'll miss those birds when the next patch removes them from the random maps :(.

Anyway we have two line battles tonight in both time zones, the EU one starting in around fifty minutes from this post and the American one at 8PM EST. Show to either if you can.

Also, after the LB always persuaded me and several other goons to get in on Guns Of Icarus and it is amazingly fun working together in a claptrap Airship shooting dudes out of the sky. Give it a try if you think you are up for it.

Props to Pants in buying that 4-Pack!

Those are some actually pretty good screenshots I have to say.

Anyway goons, our American monday night line battle is happening in less than an hour. Feel free to show up and hang around in Mumble.

Also, here is that crazy Russian movie about those whacky Lancers with subtitles. It is pretty over the top.

We had some good high moments in last nights line battle, and a pretty balling American turn out. My favourite bits were watching Blue Spy BLOCK THREE BAYONETS AT ONCE WITH A SWORD WHILST GETTING UP FROM A KNOCK DOWN, last stand in death gorge and holding ground in that canyon and just gunning down silly over confident Lancers then mauling their Infantry buddies a second later.

Anyways, EU siege event happening in around 50 minutes time. Feel free to drop on by and play!

Apparently we've been playing closed beta line battles with North And South, which is why getting a download link to .404 was incredibly hard and it isn't supported by whoever the hell is working on it now. Good news though, .404 is getting released this weekend. We might have to update again for next weeks one so watch this space.

It'll be nice to play a proper 200 man N&S line battle again. Also, the Franco-Prussian War mod is coming out towards the end of this month or early June. And then there is the patch for NW.

Also, we got two line battles tonight with possible Guns Of Icarus matches afterwards.

EU line battle in 40 minutes time and the American line battle is at 9PM EST. Both are Napoleonic Wars.

Alright goons, N&S did a final update and released .404 to all the public instead of just those testing it with some line battles.

This means everyone for one last time with North And South must do the update dance! Here are two links to the patch for .404 just extract and yes all to the N&S module folder [b]DO NOT USE THE UPDATER AT ALL OR EVER AGAIN. Hurray you have North And South all updated!

.404 Update! Download me goons!

.404 back up in case pubbies overwhelm the first link.

There is also a new Installer with the recent .404 stuff for new players. Whoever is in charge of the dropbox can you remove the old version and put this and the .404 patch on it? thanks!

Considering how lovely my computer is being (thanks for the defrag advice whoever, it didn't do much :smith:) I'll probably be out of the linebattle game for the time being.

Good news and bad news.

First the bad news. Both the EU line battle and Cops Monday Line Battle have been cancelled by the organizers.

The good news though for Americans, Is I have already set us up with a new Monday line battle at the same time more or less with the same rules. As for the Monday EU one, I might look for another EU event on another day perhaps?

Also, watch this neat North And South Line battle commentary video thing to ease the pain.

And then come into Mumble before this NW line battle begins!

Gentlemen I present to you the Franco Prussian War:

quote:



"The great questions of the time will not be resolved by speeches and majority decisions—
that was the great mistake of 1848 and 1849—but by iron and blood".
- Otto Von Bismarck


Overview:

Blood and Iron is a modification for Napoleonic wars set in Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71. The aim is to accurately represent the Franco-Prussian war while creating a fun and balanced game.

History

The Franco-Prussian War was the largest and most important war in Europe since Waterloo, changing the face of the continent for the next fifty years. Having already defeated Austria in 1866 as part of his continuing plan for the unification of Germany, the Chancellor of Prussia Otto von Bismarck engineered this war against the French of the Second Empire under Napoleon III. The contrast between the efficient Prussian war-machine under Helmuth von Moltke with the shambolic performance of the French Army shocked all observers. Within a matter of weeks, the Prussians and their allies had won a series of spectacular victories, leading to Napoleon’s abdication and the establishment of the French Third Republic, followed by the Siege of Paris and the abortive revolution of the Paris Commune. In 1871 a unified Germany dominated by Prussia was proclaimed, eclipsing France as the leading power in Europe, and leaving a legacy of rivalry and hatred that was not finally resolved until the end of the Second World War.


The causes of the Franco–Prussian War are deeply rooted in the events surrounding the German unification. In the aftermath of the Austro–Prussian War (1866), Prussia had annexed numerous territories and formed the North German Confederation. This new power destabilized the European balance of power established by the Congress of Vienna (1815) after the Napoleonic Wars. Prussia then turned its attention towards the south of Germany, where it sought to expand its influence.


France was strongly opposed to the annexation of the Southern German States (Bavaria, Wurttemberg, Baden and Hesse-Darmstadt), which would have created too powerful a country next to its border. In Prussia, a war against France was deemed necessary to arouse German nationalism in those States that would allow the unification of a great German empire. This aim was epitomized by Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's quote: "I knew that a Franco–Prussian War must take place before a united Germany was formed." Bismarck also knew that France should be regarded as the aggressor in the conflict to bring the Southern German States to side with Prussia, hence giving Germans numerical superiority.


However, the immediate cause of the war resides in the candidacy of a Prussian prince to the throne of Spain. France feared encirclement by an alliance between Prussia and Spain. The Hohenzollern prince's candidacy was withdrawn under French diplomatic pressure, but Otto von Bismarck goaded the French into declaring war by altering a telegram sent by William I. Releasing the Ems Telegram to the public, Bismarck made it sound as if the king had treated the French envoy in a demeaning fashion. Six days later, France declared war on Prussia and Southern German States immediately sided with Prussia.
