Yes and hoping that there is a rule or system that prevents you from being the first Napoleon of history, i mean avoiding the fortress and striking at the Capital. You can do that but first you have to take ALL the fortress on your way in order to do that. Of course, the Coalition did exactly that ...

The early part would cover the Taiping rebellion in China, arguably the bloodiest conflict of the nineteenth century.

A neat mod would be for the Balkan Wars of 1912-13. At that point, having a variety of war plans for the various countries would be interesting, given the rapidity with which those nations turned on one another.

In the board game, Germany needs to play the "submarine warfare" political chit to start restricted submarine warfare. At that point, the U-Boats should be placed in the Atlantic hex. If the computer game follows that, then you likely can't start subamarine warfare until that chit is played.

I'm not sure why you'd want to keep it going, the dreadnoughts England has coming out just historically would keep you busy--if they use historical construction times, you'll be even further behind the curve. And if England builds to match, that is alot of "R" class dreadnoughts you'll have to face ...

For the big offensives Tamas mentioned, it also helps to have good stockpiles of MUN (to fire your artillery) and RP (to help replace the casualties).

Historically, the Russians did beat the hell out of the Austrians in Galicia in 1914, causing nearly a million casualties in the first three months of operations and pushing the Austrians back to the gates of Przemysl and the foothills of the Carpathians. The Austrians did call off reinforcements fr...

How large is the download?

Looking forward to this

[quote="Captain"]I am a huge fan of GRD's WWI series. I believe it is the largest that exists to date. QUOTE] Probably Der Weltkrieg (published by Decision Games) is the largest game series on the Great War; it covers nearly every front (pretty much all, with the upcoming game on the midea...

In the boardgame, certain corps are marked by nationality/ethnic origin, mostly for the Russian and Austro-Hungarian armies. I believe some French corps are also marked as colonial troops. If I remember correctly, some events and special rules reference those units. The production system isn't as sp...

What is the size of the download?

I'm not sure what the issue on the blockade is. It will have 3 options. If you want to do hands-on managing, then choose option A for your games.

Feralkoala

No, the currency printing is an option--it does not increase your per turn income. As far as I know, nothing other than perhaps the income tax events do. Investing in infrastructure gives returns in war supplies, general supplies, and ammo, but not money. If you want more money on a regular basis, y...

I believe that suggestion would be more applicable to a game with days for game turns, rather than 2 week turns. Mind you, it is a cool idea, I just don't think it goes with the scale of this particular game.

I'd be inclined to 4|3|2 as a division commander (or even 4|3|3) and 5|2|2 as a corps commander--he moved rapidly in the Valley in 1864, but his battle record wasn't particularly impressive. His attack on Sheridan had an impressive start, but ultimately led to his defeat. And getting almost to Washi...

He did command the larger of Lee's 2 wings, or corps, and was senior to Jackson, pretty much at Lee's request--given that gifted commander relates to command points, I can't see that as being problematic. Especially as it disappears at the army commmand level.

Feralkoala

I can't see quick angered--as was mentioned, he was held in some esteem and I don't know of any instance to justify it. Picking bad subordinates is a problem, but is possibly not any worse than Lee's 'cleaning' of the ANV--anyone who Lee didn't like, respect, or thought was incompetent ended up on g...

Jackson was well-known for having his subordinates under arrest for courts-martial. 2 Examples are AP Hill before Antietam and Garnett from the Valley campaign. How much this affected these officers' abilities is questionable--AP Hill went on to lead the final counter-attack on Burnside that saved L...

I believe Spharv is correct, the issue Chris mentions is more of a tactical than operational one. Coupled with his decision to make "disciplining assaults" at Franklin for his faillure at Spring Hill, I would say 2 is maybe a stretch, but certainly closer to reality than a 4.

Feralkoala

Does he, though? Breckinridge, while a political general, seems to actually have been motivated by a desire to serve. I can't recall an instance of either him or his political allies ghetting ruffled feathers by him being passed over.

Feralkoala

Actually, many of Longstreet's attacks were slow to get off because of the preparation put into them--his attacks were often irresistible because of that extra time put into them. Contrast with Jackson, who was often much quicker, but whose attacks tended to unravel. Often, getting the attack in fir...

I'm not sure I would call Gaines Mill a decisive victory. Certainly Lee's frontal attacks were not meant to be battle winning--flanking forces were meant to be the decisive element, but their poor performance led to the Union forces being able to retreat away in fairly good order. Certainly one can ...

He means 3, I believe he was using it in the sense of Theodore Roosevelt

Some would become county names, others are rivers or towns.

I live just north of the Albany space, in "Hoosick" which is a small river, and across the Hudson from the Saratoga space

There is a way to coordinate them--combine them and take the command hit. :bonk: What you are arguing for, essentially, is a way around the command rules. If you think this bothers you now, I'd give a future ACW game a pass....at least as the Union :sourcil: Otherwise, what you have is two armies--n...

Hotkeys to cycle thru units were added in the 1.02 patch today--check the patch notes! The easiest way to merge units is by clicking and dragging the tab for the land units onto the naval or bateaux units you want to carry them. Weight and transport values can be found in the Unit Models text file i...

Yes, it seems that there should be just a delay or MP cost for loading/unloading. Hopefully the engine can do that adjustment with little problem.

Feralkoala

As Phillippe noted, bateaux were used along rivers and should speed progress quite a bit.
