Thanks for all the suggestions guys but Its just too much to manage all of it. I will have to find a civil war game that is not so in depth because there is just too much to keep track of with this game. I want to like it so bad but just find it all too much. I been watching vids and reading thread...

Yes, I agree completely with what Lodi said (that should be a forum tag-phrasie, a "What Lodi said" :thumbsup: "). One thing you should look at though is the effective strategic rating of your corp commanders. If those corps belong to "Lil' Mac's" http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu305/Der_Ami_At...

The details are missing to assess exactly what the situation is. This is what I understand happened. The CSA is in Spotylvania (Fredericksburg region) with one or more stacks. An Union army stack (activated; offensive posture) and 2 corp (inactivated; defensive posture) enter the region, but no com...

If your force is an Army Stack [Leader+HQ as an organized Army], it cannot initiate combat if there are any other friendly stacks in the same region. Whoa, hold on there. That's why I love the forums--I learn something new almost every day. That's got to be it--the army is the only active stack (bo...

Serious Question

Is there any possible reason why an army on assault posture would fail to attack an enemy position that's in the same region for two turns in a row? If not, I have a bug to report. Bear in mind, I'm computer stupid, so please be specific about how to capture images for posting, etc. I'm the union pl...

Posture for ships??

OK, so I've read that ships at sea don't need to be on offensive posture to engage enemy ships. Is this so? Also, does the same apply to river ships? If I have a river gunboat on defensive mode, will it let enemy transports slip by? Do I need to put it on offensive posture to stop them?

Athena

Hey folks, just some thoughts about playing against Athena. Older players won't find this helpful, but newer players might. For a long time, I played as the Union against Athena on sergeant with robust detection and activation bonuses. She threw me a lot of curve balls, and I had to keep on my toes....

Siege depends mainly on the artillery combat factors of the defender and the besieger. With enough artillery you could hold off a siege indefinitely, if you are getting supply . Check Manual:Siege combat . Also look at page 3 of the Update file for changes to Siege Combat and the new Overcrowding R...

Well, not directly. If a location with a harbor is besieged, it can still receive supplies through the harbor. Because of this there is a lesser chance of the force inside the location surrendering. If supply through the harbor is also blocked then it is the same as a location without a harbor bein...

How big an effect does blockading a port city have on making that city surrender during a siege?

Is there a reason why artillery can't load onto bateaux? Playing FiW Colonial variant, suddenly in Montreal my artillery won't load onto any ships. Checked weight, it's fine. Have I missed something?

Is it possible for Indians and other irregulars to destroy structures? I know they can destroy depots. But can they affect structures in any way?

structures

Hey hey,

Am I correct in assuming that a force that retreats from a battle will do so into a structure if one exists in the region? Or is there a chance that it will simply vacate to another region even though a structure exists to flee to?

Hello all, I believe I know the answer to this, but I want to be sure. I'm trying to land a Union army into the CSA-occupied Norfolk region, but the army won't disembark. I have the army's settings on offensive and the general is active. For two turns with these settings, he has failed to leave the ...
