Hi... I just finished playing Fallen Timbers scenario both ways. I found it to be a very tough, but entertaining little scenario. I couldn't beat it from either side. First, I played as the USA. Seemed like the Indians were everywhere I wasn't! Once the Anthony Wayne steamroller showed up, I capture...

Can someone please help me with the specifics on how to build forts in BoA/WiA? I can't seem to find it in the manual or on this forum. I seem to recall seeing somewhere that you need a combination of supply units and artillery for the special "Build Fort" special order to become available...

Hi All... not sure what I'm seeing here. I started playing Scenario #5 - Montcalm Colonial Faction and at the start of the scenario, several of the Objective Cities seem to be blinking the wrong color when I select the Strategic cities map filter. Specifically, Ft. Duquesne, Frontenac and Fortresse ...

I was just checking old posts on WIA since I just bought the game and I saw this... Interestingly, I just got the exact same result playing the English yesterday. I had Wolfe siege for a few turns, hoping to wear down the French before an assault. Unfortunately, Wolfe made almost no progress for a c...

Ok, thanks so much for the prompt response.

Hi... Thanks, Lodilefty, for fixing this. I just bought BiA2/WiA from Matrix. It came with version 1.01b. I patched it to 1.04c with the only patch that I could find on the Matrix site and I was wondering about a newer patch. I saw your link above a few days ago for the 1.10e version, but found the ...

Fantastic effort, Straight Arrow. Very useful.

A fellow Bullet!? That's pretty awesome. I graduated in 2003, how about you? Amazing! Me in 1978, brother in 1973, sister-in-law 1976, nephew in 1998, son in 2013. Most of my family went to Lehigh, but my brother started the G-Burg thing. Now 5 of us can call ourselves Bullets! Welcome to the forum...

Regions are not all 1 or 3 Vps; they range from 1 to 4 (or maybe 5?). You have to check the Regional Ledger to see the tally. You can't see ones your opponent has, but you can always open an 1861 game as the other side and check it out. The only ones that won't be in there are Tuscon and one or two...

G-Burg Bullet

In the Regions Ledger you can sort by a column labeled VPs. The CSA has several that show 2. I don't know why some are 2 though, I had thought it was 1 and 3 like above. I did this, but unless I'm daft, It didn't seem like all the opponent's regions were listed. I thought maybe it had something to ...

"years" that is! No tears involved!

Ha ha! I had many "monumental" trips to the battlefield over my 4 tears there... but I wasn't doin' much historical research if ya know what I mean!

I'm sorry... "HB" cards? Habeas Corpus?

I just worked the numbers on this about two days ago. I counted the number of strategic and objective cities under my control then compared that to my VP gain per turn. After working the math, it appears you gain 1 VP per turn for strategic cities and 3 VP per turn for objective cities. Hit the '3'...

G-Burg Bullet

I'm having trouble determining VP values for potential strategic city targets. I can't seem to find anywhere what each city is worth in VP terms. The manual says each strategic city is worth "1-3 VP's - the value being set for each scenario." How can you find out? I bring up the strategic atlas and ...

Hi All... I've been posting here (a bit) but mostly lurking and trying to soak up all I can from the collective knowledge up here on the AGEOD forum. It occurred to me that I never really introduced myself, so take this as my formal intro. I've been a wargamer all my life, but this is the first AGEO...

G-Burg Bullet

Thanks so much, ArmChairGen... this is exactly what I was looking for. Very thorough and informative.

I have had A.S. Johnston wounded TWICE in a game as an army commander at 3*'s. It seems with him, game is imitating life! He's the only 3* I have had this happen to repeatedly.

planefinder wrote: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.

duh! Sorry... thanks for your help. I see you did address that.

G-Burg Bullet

Thanks, guys. This is helpful. Let me see then... In other words: - Without a wagon or transport, units need to be in or adjacent to a region with a supply source to be safe - With a wagon or transport, you can venture 3-5 regions away, always being mindful of weather, terrain, etc. - depending on w...

Hi All, Can someone please confirm/answer or comment on the following supply questions? I have tried my best to get a grip on the supply mechanics of the game by reading posts up here and from the manual, but the whole supply issue is pretty murky in my mind. I'm still learning the AGEOD game engine...

I have noticed that sometimes the little dots turn red too. Does anyone know why?

Wow! Very impressive minipol! I'd love to have seen an AAR to see how you did it.

GS, Athena does not get enough credit, and she will only get better. Us Rebs just love to blast up the L&N railroad to Louisville and points north as soon as the lights come on, but it will only take a little more "build interest" in pre-Kentucky Cincinnati and Indianapolis or a propensity to actua...

Hi all, A few things of importance regarding the expansion pack Bloody Road South and patch 1.03. As of now, February 11th, the patch 1.03 is only available if you buy BRS. This is because the patch currently provided with the pack is really big, and so we did not felt like providing you a huge pat...

Is there a way you can see exactly where, and how, VP's are accrued each turn for you and your opponent? I realize that you get a summary each turn by rolling the tooltip over the VP icon at the top of the screen, but sometimes I'm really foggy as to exactly how, and where, they are being earned and...

I'd love to see some more detail on just where yours, and your opponent's, victory points are actually coming from each turn. I realize that you get a summary each turn by rolling the tooltip over the VP icon at the top of the screen, but sometimes I'm really foggy as to exactly how, and where, they...

Well, didn't have a KIA but just had A.S. Johnston wounded TWICE as an army commander playing the Western Theater scenario. Seems like really bad luck to have a 3* wounded twice in one game given the comments above that 3*s are rarely casualties. Maybe with him in particular there is some historical...

Thanks. I thought I had line inf in Louisville, but I could be wrong. I guess I'll have to watch loyalty more closely.

G-Burg Bullet

Yes, I agree. The CSA is pretty hard to pin down sometimes. I have found that using the ample USA naval resources on the rivers is a pretty good tactic to slow down or pin wandering CSA units. Once the CSA units are on the "right" side of a river, just move a fleet down the river to blockade the log...
