I am trying to fiddle around a bit with unit and leader experience gain, as well as command points. I have found entries for these values in the GameLogic file, but I am not sure if the game is picking them up. Can someone tell me if the game in fact reads these values, if they are cached somewhere,...

Thanks OC! Perhaps the text for the Sharpshooter ability tooltip ought to be changed from "unit" to "stack." Right now it says unit. If that's the case, my next question would be whether or not a sharpshooter inside a division or merged with a general in a stack conveys this bonus as well, or wheth...

Thanks Jim. That helps a lot. By that logic then, it is advantageous to both rotate new brigades through "Training Officers" to ensure conversion to regular infantry and then build and use as many HQ units with "Training Master" as possible.

Can anyone shed some light on the differences between the training master and the training officer and how unit experience points are translated either into upgrades or combat effectiveness? Here's what I've figured out so far: Leaders (McClellan, Rufus King, Halleck, Sigel) can have the "Training O...

Really? I didn't understand that relationship previously. That helps a great deal.

Pgr - a quick update - turn 1 for LibertyBell vs. monikerr has now been completed and returned to the combatants. That match is fully underway.

Just in general, I really wish there were things that could be built via decision to increase money - I get not being able to build manpower, but being able to invest in some sort of money-generating structure would be great. Perhaps spend manpower and WSU to create?

This anecdote is really indicative of what I think Confederate (I can't speak to Union) Athena's greatest weakness is - she plays for the VP win vs. the NM win. All her raiding, her ill-advised attacks, her fragmented stacks, etc., seem to clearly indicate a myopic focus on VP, which in turn means a...

Your match is making me feel significantly better about mine with Mickey3D. Mickey, playing CSA is similarly adopting a stubborn defensive and has wiped out several large army stacks due to bad decisions on my part. It's mid 1862 and I feel as though I should be in Nashville already rather than bein...

PGR, how will GS declining the match affect our group. Will you be able to find a replacement?

I know this is a quibble, but on a separate note, the city Falmouth is on the wrong side of the peninsula. It should be facing the Rappahannock rather than the Potomac. The Potomac side is Aquia Harbor. Then again, Faquier VA is technically Prince William... As a resident of Prince William, this has...

If I see this correctly, everyone advances through the round robin? Usually in tournaments, top two advance from the groups of 4? Ace, the image you displayed looks to me like a single elimination tournament bracket, since the field narrows to 8 after the first round, then 4 after the second and so...

I would suggest doing two parallel tourneys, one for the smaller scenarios and one for the campaigns. The campaigns emphasize far more resource management and grand strategy than the scenarios, which tend to emphasize operational level movement. I would do the following in such a notional scenario t...

Going back to northern Virginia for a second, I would make a few general notes: 1) The Union in reality has three potential stacks suitable for use: a-the main Union army in Alexandria, b-the various light infantry, militia units, etc unlocked from the various Northern cities - I tend to form these ...

I'm in. That sounds fun!

One opponent found and game open, but am open to an additional game. Same conditions as above. Please e-mail if you're interested.

This is my understanding as well, and that one of the reasons it was implemented this way is to allow captured artillery and wagons to access your replacement pool. Hopefully Pocus won't be annoyed with all of us monkeys climbing around under the hood of his shiny new car! I would also hate to thin...

The answer to your last two questions is what I advised in my previous post - use the supply map-mode. Green indicates that a particular region is in supply, while red indicates that it is not.

Getting back on topic, I think we were talking about range. So folks don't have to go digging through the models files more than once, here are the typical model (element) ranges for various element types going from longest range to shortest: Coastal Arty: 9 Siege Arty: 8 Fort Batteries: 7 Rodman Ar...

I agree with everything that's been said so far, but I would add a few additional suggestions: 1) I can't emphasize this enough, play a few turns using the supply map-mode available in game. This will a) help you understand the supply flow - you can actually see the distribution phase and b) will he...

I honestly have just stopped using it. Ever since they implemented the spacebar command to cycle units/engage sentry mode, I've stopped doing specific queries but rather cycle through every unit every turn to ensure that I don't have untapped forces that I'm forgetting about. Btw, have any Union pla...

I would posit that another factor folks haven't mentioned is that divisions make elements/units more survivable because they share casualties all around. The danger of dropping loose brigades/elements into Corp is that once the element is destroyed, it's destroyed. Element in divisions that are dest...

Looking for a Confederate opponent for my first PBEM game, preferably one with a little patience for someone venturing outside solo games for the first time. Playing with CWII 1.03 BRS, with negotiable rules and scenarios (preferably not Sibley or Bull Run though). Looking for 1 turn/day or several ...

Pocus, are there any plans in the works for a 1.04 patch and/or another set of DLC? I'm sure the community could find some features worth paying for to continue development.

I'm sitting down today and playing my first Union game under BRS/1.03. I am playing the April 1861 Campaign, so I can't comment on the new scenarios, but I can definitely comment on how this scenario sounds with the 1.03 fixes. Union balance = A LOT more balanced. Manpower, money, war supply feel ju...

I don't know if it will help any, but having bought CW II BRS, I managed to find the 1.03 patch notes squirreled away in an RTF file in the game directory. Here are the notes about what was changed: Patch 1.03 Release Date: February 2014 How to update your game: This patch is a comprehensive patch. ...

Having played the Union many times, I think I would qualify the whole "Union is weaker" concept with the idea that the Union and Confederacy have ahistorical strengths and weaknesses, in both a temporal sense (when strengths and weaknesses occurred) and also in terms of the areas where they are stro...

This screenshot is totally inaccurate...it's a mockup design used long long ago... ;) Thank goodness for that. I saw the screenshot on the Slitherine Historicon wrap-up as well and my heart sank. There's just no connection to the period and beyond that, the existing AACW map provides considerably m...
