I was referring more to the brigades that are two line inf plus a SS element. Often times I get a division to 14 elements and look at the brigades of 3 elements. Choices are usually 1 line, 1 conscript, 1 conscript cav or 2 line, 1 6 LB. In those situations I felt that the best unit to add was the ...

Yes indeed! I just ran a test with a Division of 4 CP. I added a senior commander giving the unit 6 CP and the move changed from 25 days to 17. However, the CP boost had to be from a senior General providing a stack commander for the boost in movement to work. A second junior General adding 2 CPs d...

Also note that SS units are quite small, 5hp if i remember, so alone they risk being killed. Now SS units can use the ambush special order, so a division of just SS would be able to ambush, but I woulden't do it unless you were just wanting a laugh.

So I understand that not having enough CP will slow a stack down, but has anyone else observed that having excess CP seems to speed a stack up? It is perhaps anecdotal, but in a recent PBEM as the Union, a 16 CP corps gained a day in speed when a signal unit was added, and lost a day when it was tak...

Happy New Year to you both! Thank you for the quick CSV tutorial! In the end though, fixing the display issue was a dead end. Your csv file splits just fine, and mine does not. I'll have to compare the two more closely. As an aside, does the CSV I hung Split correctly on your end? (At the end of the...

Thanks for the example file. Yours split properly (there was an error message for a corrupted line, so a mdl file was not created, but it worked.) I compared your CSV file to mine, and it looks like I'm doing something wrong when creating the CSV file. In yours, all the data is in one column separat...

In the xls file, remove all the comments columns (the ones with the name starting with a §). So I removed the comments columns, and still had an error. I noticed the splitter did not like null values...so i deleated them out. And still no sucess (although the error message has changed!) Would anyon...

Another question. How do I actually concert the database into a mld file with the csv splitter? I made changes to the base excel, saved the sheet as a csv file, but when i use the splitter, there is a long error message ( exception). Am I missing something?

I have always felt VA seemed a bit cramped. If you compare the CW1 and CW2 maps, CW 2 is bigger because they expanded the edges. There are times i wish they had kept the same scope, but zoomed in.

Yep it works. ( And the log will tell you if it works or fails.) Bear in mind that if it works, it takes 3 turns for full effect.

Also, I don't recall when an entire corps was ever sent to conduct an amphibious assault. It happened. First one I wikipedia'd was the first battle of Fort Fisher - a corp of the Army of the James versus a division of the Army of Northern Virginia. . But was that an actual amphibious assault? I dir...

Do they? As in a carrage could take an arty slot? I find that hard to believe.

If you use the riverine pool insted of transports, the corps structure is not lost ( although in PBEM, attacking in that way can be considered poor form) Also, if you manually land (I.E. sail your force next to its destination one turn, an then drag the Land units onto shore the next) the land stack...

There has been a lot written on the topic, but I'll make a few points. Mixed divisions are best for small CP limited stacks, or if you need flexability in detaching forces from a main stack. Cav is nessary in a stack for screening/pursuit After battles. I believe a 16 cp stack needs 4 cav to screen ...

Quick answer, get NM elsewhere. A little costal fort busting can get you some easy NM. That said, you are still better off loosing 10 NM than if you badly loose 1st bull run trying to take Manassas. As long as you build enough troops, the NM hit is not going to kill you. The trick when behind in NM ...

1. Look in the log messages. (Specifically the one on the far right that looks a bit like a key.) It will tell you the exact amount of money and WS is being gained. The number you are seeing is the amount of GS and ammo being transfered via ocean shipping during the supply phase. 2. The stratigic re...

I was thinking about going some unit modding, and as I looked in the files for artillery and Ironclads, I realized I didn't quite know the interplay of the penetration vs protection stats. From the old wiki, the combat section has a brief mention of protection: "PM = Protection Modifier: (1-lev...

Quick question... When modding the Unit models, the database excels have 2 excel files v9q and v9t. At first look they seem to be the same. Should one be used over the other?

If the Army commander is in the fight, he will impact frontage and retreat rolls for all stacks as CiC

Although I worked through the topics that are about the division composition I still have questions about the usefulness of some elements.

Well polish is a bit relative. Everyone has their own private tweaks they would make to the engine. I would vote for a DLC of a few more campaigns...and perhaps something we aren't thinking of. It's a big beautiful map...how about a Red Cloud's war campaign way out west? Or a Mexican-American civil ...

Another option is to win battles with the General you want promoted. His seniority may eventually surpass the two less capable Generals. IIRC, you also get about 3 more available Army commands to assign each year. This! Go forth and conquer with the good ones so they can promote and gain seniority....

Welcome to the game! So supply can be transported overland, via rail, via river shopping, or by sea (from port to port on costal regions). Sea transport requires transport ships in the sea lanes box. By putting some transports there, you gained some capacity. Don't worry, you didn't loose any supply...

I wonder how hard it would be to create a "hidden leadership" setting. (Like hidden activation) . All leaders start as showing as 3-1-1, but they need to fight a battle as a division, stack, or army commander for their true stats to appear. That kind of setting with leader randomization wo...
