All of them great links :coeurs: . Library of congress has most of it and I find it as a best resource for ACW maps. Ofcourse, after you buy the game you will get another great and accurate map of whole USA :niark: Godspeed The game map is inaccurate in several aspects. Best source for maps of ACW ...

Besides the people that lose their lives and limbs in all the wars, I wonder also about those who survive them. What kind of psychological damage do they have for the rest of their life? They are usually the ones who rebuild things. Wonder how much the society the survivors rebuild is sane and heal...

Well I am an ACW buff and an amateur historian and was born "where the ACW occured" and for you to deign to speak for me is insulting, as is your entire response. Well, you certainly don't realize the mess it is making by having erroneous classifications such as the 1st Ohio and the 1st Ohio Volunt...

Until now, nobody complained so I guess it is not a major issue :innocent: . Then on the other hand, if you are ready to work, and not just talk :siffle: , then go for it. Make our data base perfect :coeurs: . Godspeed P.S. Do not put your words in capital letters as this looks to me as if you were...

The Provisional Army actually is the main Confederate Army. That is to say there was the Regular Army (very small), the Provisional Army (raised from the various States) and Militia forces. Yes, and Tennessee had the largest initially, which is the point you were making. The Provisional Army of Ten...

I tend to strongly disagree here. Of all ACW games on the market, this one probably has the best data base of regiments, brigades and such. We don't need to get to radiculous levels just to be 100% historically correct :bonk: . Soon somebody will say that 3rd Mississippi didn't have shoes and that ...

After going in deeper into the History of the Civil War, watching Ken Burn´s comprehensive documental, I just couldn't help but wonder if all those dead and all that suffering was worth it. Like it seemed like a very high price for the Union to pay just to impose that the "Union" of the States prev...

Where is it? The event where both sides field their state militias, Tennessee has none. This gives an advantage to the Federals as Tennessee has also a very low cap for volunteers also. Yup, you are right. Tennessee formed the Provisional Army, which was the largest State force in the CSA in the ea...

I did a quick scan of the scenario and event files, quickly renaming forces. While probably having to redo this for 1.02c, it only took about an hour to change it for the 1861 scenarios. Also, I am working on the files in the unit directory. While using notepad, I don't think modifying it negativel...

I was under the impression that the SW box was an generalization for the entire New Mexico Territory. Really, the city should be Santa Fe (since the battle of Glorieta Pass was fought near there), not Tuscon, since H. H. Sibley's campaign in the region went from southern to northern NM, and into Co...

Confederate defeat was far from inevitable. If the 13 colonies could manage to win their independence by fighting a war against what was the greatest superpower in Europe, it seems illogical to argue that Southern secession was always doomed to failure, when the resources of the South vis a vis the...

Were there ever leaderless bodies of troops in the ACW?? The answer is 'No, there weren't.' To portray minor leaders commanding smaller forces, perhaps a generic commander quality/stats. of all 1's could be used, even though there were some good leaders commanding some minor and detached commands?? ...

One-sided before Gettysburg and Vicksburg and Port Hudson, Louisiana and Helena, Arkansas?? Not really, as the South lost a lot of troops and armaments at Fts. Henry and Donelson, New Madrid and Island No. 10, Shiloh, Pea Ridge or Elkhorn Tavern and Prarie Grove in NW Arkansas and as a result lost M...

Simple weather model: Four types of weather, basic model, could be tweaked for regional differentiation: 1) Good; only in Spring (50% chance), Summer (65% chance) and Fall (50% chance). No impediments to movement and combat, less atrition due to sicknes and and movement. This weather class would inc...

hm, about the resources. I think I have to disagree. The CSA had a far inferior economical output compared to the Union. In the game, this doesn't make a real difference - wether or not to upgrade your economy. It should be reflected in the game. If you don't invest in your economy, you don't have ...

At the start of the 1862 campaign there is a colored brigade in Pennsylvania. Although the Union began to enlist blacks in some colored units during 1862, I do not believe there were any separate units, and certainly not of brigade strength, in March when the campaign begins. After the fall of New ...

Having lived in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas, I can tell you that it does snow there, in '93 Mississippi went through one godawful storm that had me trapped with no power for a week before I could get out. Everything from Memphis down past Jackson looked like a hurricane had come throug...

Generally speaking, the easiest way to improve the climate model would be to eliminate the possibility of snow/frozen conditions south of the Kentucky/Tennessee, the Missouri/Arkansas and the Virginia/North Carolina borders. Although it can snow south of these lines, it rarely amounts to more than ...

Hi Chris, Interesting, I did not know we had people reenacting from the Southern perspective way up here in Yankee Michigan. I thought all those grey backs were imported from down yonder. :sourcil: Did you ever attend the Memorial Day weekend event at Greenfield village? I went a few years in a row...

Glad it turned out this way! :cwboy: Yes, me too!!! And thanx again for the concern and advice. I was very depressed and angry at my compooter, but in reality I am always angry and disgusted with compooters. Sometimes compooters and all electronic systems just go nuts, haywire, so I think they have...

Ok i found my problem just not the solution yet. When ever the program makes the new folder its given read only status. So when trying to save the file its blocked by the operating system. What is really funny is if i remove the attribute its back on if i open it again, even if i just dechose it. S...

Thanx for the advice, plus I talked to our compooter guy at work and he thought it was the PU. So, I went back to the mail order place on Ebay that I got the A-Power 680W PU from (their warehouse id only 2-3 miles away from me), and the great fellow there exchanged my defunct PU for a new one of the...

Didn't know we could split Brigade sized units. Loaded up a game to test this, learn something new everyday. My question is why would you? The game organizes brigades for you. Why do you want to split them? Is it to take all the Cav out of the individual brigades to combine into a larger Cav unit, ...

I modded the files, then courtmartialled Little Mac :fleb: for not being prompt in supporting Pope in the 2nd Mannassas Campaign, then executed Little Mac. Was going to replace hime him with another piece of well done hamburger named Big Mac, but instead chose a new General named Bernie Mac. I'll pr...

Toss up for me between Glory and Gettysburg, then the Ironclad Monitor vs. virginia movie, gods and Generals, The Horse Soldiers with JW, Gone With the Wind, Cold Mountain or what ever it is called, Birth of a Nation to some degree, and Burns' documentaries.
