On September 16, 1862, what is known as the Great Battle of Bull Run was fought, a battle which took six stages. It is given this name to differentiate it from the other battles around that site. The battle was opened by an assault by General Beauregard with four divisions under Generals Loring, D.H...

In Early August, Halleck lost another 2000 men in skirmishing around Louisville, but there was generally no change in the area. 4,200 men remained in the city with about 10,000 outside. However, the forces outside were exhausted from repeated sorties of Halleck's and their was hope that the siege wo...

[This AAR is mostly in real time, so I don't know what is next. I just sent Straight Arrow a turn, so I don't know if I've surrendered in Louisville, captured Norfolk, or fought an enormous battle in the Shanendoah. With the turn, I sent a report card and am pasting it below "I'm giving myself a rep...

[Sorry about the double images in the previous post.] In order to move more quickly, Butler split his force into a corps under Hooker with two divisions, and himself leading the division under Stone. Jackson followed Butler to Edentown, but did not arrive in an uncontested land. A large force under ...

By April of 1862, a great deal of reorganization occurred. Corps were formed in Virginia, new troops were being trained in Missouri, neutral Kentucky, and New England with Sigel, Halleck, and McClellan moving to new areas. Don Carolos Buel had arrived in West Virginia to take over the attack on Virg...

@SA and tripax, Are you guys playing your game with the same activation settings? I see SA mentioned his general issued conflicting orders, which happens with veteran activation. In tripax's AAR I see pics with generals having brown inactive envelopes which happens with non-veteran activation. I di...

If someone is more succinct than I, a version of this could go on Straight Arrow's points to know posts.

Thanks for the votes of approval.

I think you can create models/units, but not family types (see Models Families.ini in the alias folder), so I thought it would need to be $FamilyType1 = $famEngineer. Sharpshooters are $famSkirmisher, I'm not sure if any other models use that family, nor am I sure if it matters, but I think the icon...

There are two versions of this trick, I do version 2 regularly, I've never done version 1 before my current game. I don't think they are too gamey because movement is so hard to control in this game, but they are probably not WAD. Version 1: In my current game (if you are not Straight Arrow, you can...

I don't know how to split them, but one idea I wanted to try when I was modding you might try. You could "name" them by making the first unit in them a Colonel which you recruit or arrive by event - so the brigade's name will just be the name of the Colonel. This unit be based on engineers but with ...

In the West, Admiral Porter has arrived with a flotilla of five ironclads. These are important because Admiral Semmes had attempted to close the Mississippi south of and including Island 10 from Union use, greatly reducing union ability to reinforce Grant.

Gray Fox wrote:Grant needs an artillery Division. Every offensive should have one. Good luck!

You are right. I don't quite have the money right now. I like to build divisions as fast as division generals arrive and I like to have a few Ironclads around (more on them later), so I don't do artillery like I should.

[I'm sorry I haven't kept the depth I'd like, my schedule has gotten very tight and looks to continue to be so for the near future, so I'll likely continue to be terse for the rest of this game.] In early January, 1862, the Confederate counterattack in the Shenandoah continued, with a march on Winch...

For what it is worth, the regiments currently making up some of the elite flavor brigades are not currently very historical.

In the West, Shelby's force, while recently victorious in Fort Baxter, was forced to retreat towards Fayetteville during November of 1861. Fayetteville, however, was not necessarily a secure destination as Lyon had followed Magruder into the area. Lyon had about 15,500 men under divisions led by Mor...

If you start to train a new unit and place them outside the city, the first turn after their creation they like to go into the city to sign their papers (and spend their bounty). After the first turn, they can continue training outside. While I don't know if this is your situation, make sure you wai...

I think it is WAD and not cryptocode, at least Rod Smart's example. The strategic trait has a lot of effect on promotion. An active leader fights when others do not, this is true both when a leader is leading a division, a corps, or an independent force. An active leader fights better, too. Also, I ...
