I think this issue of logistic has evolved in time. From memory the US army use to have 3 non combating soldier for 1 combating in the WW2, and the ratio today is close to 10 to 1 (numbers from memory so forgive me if this is not the actual numbers). At this time I believe the ratio would have been...

I tried to download three times yesterday from work. I ended up aborting all three attempts.

I think this is modelled well. Supply during this timeframe was difficult -- if anything, I think there is too much supply. I have yet to have a major army in difficult circumstances due to supply, but it was a constant problem for both the Americans and the British. When I was in the military, ther...

Yep, and maybe a nice interface that offers you the choice of surrendering (with honor of war promised) when beseiged or hopelessly outnumbered in open combat. Take your chances....

Interesting concept, but tricky to implement in a historical fashion. Remember, Burgoyne surrended at Saratoga with over 5800 British and German troops. Well, in fact, it was not a surrender but a "convention." The convention being that the troops would be allowed to return to Europe and not come ba...

I don't want to sound like a nitpicker, but is there any way to change the sprite for Dunmore's Ethiopians to an African American man, seeing as how they were recruited among freed slaves?

NYC was not fortified, so if overpowered the AI prefer to retreat (and live another day). Just my guess, as I dont have the save. It isn't fortified in the game, but it was heavily fortified prior to and during the Revolution. There were several robust forts and batteries around the city to control...

...But both armies were in the same province and were moving to an adjacent province in Conn., during the summer months.

Not only is this a game problem, it is a real life problem too. Coordinating units, especially during the time frame of this game, is an extaordinarily difficult proposition.

Just ask Burgoyne.

Miles,

As far as I can tell, when you have a unit "inside" a structure -- what you describe will happen. However, if they are outside of the structure, they will remain visible.

That would ask for a tremendous work, as the strings length are calibrated to fit in the various game windows, and they cant be expanded (its a graphical 2D interface, so all graphics are made by hand by our artists) And the interface is elegant indeed!

Jarhead, I doubt it "sprang up" out of no where. Meaning, it did not materialize out of no where. My guess is that it was always lurking in the hinterland you did not control.

Because british only have to entrench all their units in Quebec isn't it? Sounds pretty historical to me. Let's see....Arnold's troops were starving and deserting by the droves.
