I've seen the AI do this a couple time or so ... he plays his Unification chit on Piedmont. It's technically a legal move (a capitol in Italy), but I'm pretty sure a useless one.

I'm not sure but I think I may have found a small data bug with Tahiti. Here's the problem: It's 100% French military controlled, 45% French CP, and 5% British CP. Yet, it's highest colonial penetration reads "British Influence." This is a problem, as France cannot Protectorate it as it's not a Fren...

Does anyone else feel it's a bit odd S-P does not start with any transports in it's navy? I mean, when you consider a good chunk of it's army begins stationed on an island ...

There seems to be some stability issues with this beta; I've had three CTDs, here's the log file on the latest one.

Recruit Prisoners does not seem to be working for me (as Southern Whites). I have all the needed resources and prisoners in stock, but nothing happens after I select it.

How low does the Sou W morale have to go before Polish intervention?

I can see why you'd give them to the Sib W's ... not only for the reason you mention, but it perhaps lessens the gamey tactic of the Sou W's lowering their own morale to gain a huge ally?

[OBSERVER] - Jim's thread (when it gets created), no players should access it.

Looks like I'll be in as the Observer.

So Korrigan, is it now official, game ovah? Can we now read everyone elses's aars?

This game has been on hold for a while (about since NC came out, IIRC). On top of that, new 1.08 patches have made the version we are playing fairly antiquated, and on top of that, our Union c-in-c is retiring. Shall we call it quits on this one, perhaps? And then, if sufficient interest, perhaps be...

jimwinsor

I think the Union turn is in the hands of our c-in-c (right?).

jimwinsor

Jackson, the capitol of Mississippi, falls to Union forces in the West...but the larger effort to encircle Vicksburg fails, as Rosecrans wing is hurled back from Port Gibson. Here's the map. Curtis was plotted to one one zone south, directly to the east of Vicksburg. Rosecrans had a tougher mission;...

I managed to get 6 division plus 6 laden supply wagon down the Yazoo River, and land just north of Vicksburg (at Yazoo City). 3 more division are ready to go near Memphis, winthout supply wagons they are fast enough to move down there next turn by foot (the weather has been cooperatively sunny...alt...

jimwinsor

Yes, over 10K casualties should neutralize two western CSA divisions for a good long while. Not only that, but they retreated to Fort Pike, which makes sense as it is the nearest settlement...BUT supplies are few there, being a mere fort...and the march to better supply towns near Baton Rouge will b...

Well, a full West AAR to come; but in the meantime, I'll end the suspense and tell you all of that big battle at New Orleans...hurrah!

jimwinsor

I think it would make more sense to raise the number to 75% controlled. This prevents rail use by either side (or both sides) in contested areas. This would be a heavy play-balance blow to the Union if adopted. If you looks at my Grand Campaign AAR, I am having a hell of a time keeping western rail...

jimwinsor

Hmmm, I wonder if the 24/48 limits are now in effect, despite setting for playing with Div HQs?

jimwinsor

My divisions are now approaching combat readiness again. My plan is to begin winter campaigns in a turn or two towards Vicksburg and Atlanta simultaneously; hopefully I am far enough south the weather will be fair. I've been looking at the various approaches to Vicksburg, trying to decide which one(...

That's for sure!

Not much happening. Sheridan tries hard to catch Forrest at Tuscumbia, where we were waiting for him to cross the river...yet he gets away. Accoring to the event log I had only a 21% chance of engaging him. It's tough to battle a cavalry force in this game that is set to Avoid Battle, even with othe...

jimwinsor

Mmmm, I'd say the 1.07 new blockade system (ie, by elements, modified by forts) as at least as major a change as the div HQs. I am eager to see how well it works!

jimwinsor

Please tell me you don't want a democratic process to make mods officially part of the game. I get along with people on this board, but I honestly don't know most of you from a box of rusty nails. I definitely don't want everyone else here telling me what mods I will be using. Right now, it's in tw...

jimwinsor

My ideal is the same, except I save a slot for at least one cav element, for it's recon power. If I have an elite I'll build a div around that elite, yes, so as to add that ability. One pontooner per army/corps is good enough, however. The ability aids the whole stack, and one pontooner per division...

Another good turn out here in the Union west. Sherman comes marching into Little Rock from Madison, and takes the Arkansas capitol by storm. Sherman gains a seniority notch (still not promotable though, he's at 6/8) and a Union-loyal Arkansas brigade shows up at Little Rock. Nice! A good new brigadi...

I am still on 1.06 I except for brief flashes during movement and combat, I never see enemy ships.

Good to see 1.07 improves this!
