Reinforcements after Turn 25
#1
Having never been in a game that lasted beyond about turn 20, and with my setup only showing reinforcements through turn 25, you can imagine my surprise at receiving unplanned reinforcements on turn 30.
Will there also be reinforcements on turn 35?
Hopefully none appear on turn 40 as the game ends....
Should be an easy fix to add 2 text lines to the setups showing the full schedule of reinforcements Smile.

I thought they might and but actually missed getting my 14th GI brigade. Not to sad about it though. With my troops already eating 100k+ in the beautiful winter

Yeah, I was taken aback by this too.

You are in #130 and #138, correct? 130 is on turn 31, 138 is on turn 23, both are still going. Your other games started later so haven't got past turn 20.

Agreed. Just got turn 30 in game 130. Reinforcements seemed to surprise a number of us Smile. My setup stops at 25 so I assumed the last 15 turns were to be prepared for with no more reinforcements. Not a huge deal, just surprising. I have been in a couple of games before 130; all ended more quickly. Should we expect more troops on turn 35?

Yeah, just sensitive to players saying games end before turn 20, when almost none outside Primeval do. Why do we keep getting posts to that affect?

I understand. I was not trying to make a statement about game length, just that I personally had not seen Turn 30 until Game 130. With an experience of two games finished, my experience is neither typical nor statistically relevant. I was in that game that VBM won on Turn 11 and another that went to about 24. With no early victory conditions in my current games, they all look to be going the distance.
