David Swithers wrote to tell me that the EiA tourney at World Boardgame
Championships (formerly AvalonCon) needs more players! So mark your calenders
for next year to pack your bags and head on over to Hunt Valley, Maryland (just
north of Baltimore - the inner harbor is a great place to visit, by the way!).
For those who want to know, Jeff Slater of Minnesota won this year, his third
time in five years! And he won playing Spain, if you can believe that! Hooray
for the underdog! :-) Though David does say his Dutch allied fleet managed to
run the British blockade and won three battles in the Channel before Nelson
chased him back into Amsterdam, but this daring move enabled the French navy
to sail freely out of Cadiz [how'd it get there?] and up into the Channel.
David also says there is talk of an EiA only world championship, separate from
the World Boardgame Championships. I'll post more details as I receive them.
May 4, 2001 News:
Having talked to several people over the past several months, as far as anybody
can tell, the EiA mailing list is dead. Nobody is quite sure when, why or how
this happened, but sending messages to the list address definitely yields no
results. There is, however, appearently something at
groups.yahoo.com/group/empiresinarms but as you can see, that is yahoo.com,
which I refuse to have anything to do with :-P

The webring has now officially moved to bomis.com.
If you are here through any other means, you can access
the entire ring by going to

June 13, 2000 News:
The ftp site seems to be down, but there is an FAQ available at
http://www.mindspring.net/~smonsour/Eia/eiafaq.txt
That's about it, really. Everything else continues on as before.
This page is dedicated to Empires in Arms, and serves as the home of the
EiA web ring. I just threw this up quickly to get the ring started, but
please be sure to visit the
ftp site, Web Grognards, and the other
web ring sites, which are fully developed and contains lots of Good Stuff! (tm)
I realize that some of the links on the webring are broken - I have
contacted the owners and hopefully all broken links will be fixed Real
Soon (tm)!
Take a look at some rules I've developed for solitaire EiA.
Completely unplay-tested... ;-)
Comments welcome!
I'm also working on a computer game based on EiA!
Status of the EiA computer game (08/12/98):
I have gotten together with a good friend of mine (who is easily the best programmer I have ever met :-) to create a computer game based on Avalon Hill's Empires in Arms board game.
Our current plans are to release the game in two stages:
As well, all the optional rules will be available, and if there is enough interest, we will also include hidden movement and simultaneous movement rules, and possibly even the historical national aspirations rules.
But, at the moment, we are really just in the design phase, and since we are both doing this in our spare time, progress will likely be fairly slow. So don't expect to have it next week :-P
12/16/99 Update time
Ok, so I'm no longer really working on the EiA game. I'm working at a game
company, Holistic Design, Inc.
and have made efforts to convince the others here that we should develop such
a game with the company. Unfortunately, no success to date. But if there
were to be a "write-in" campaign to the company, with enough demand/pressure
maybe something might happen :-)
