Thanks for all of that info! Sorry I haven't players recently with RL stuff but I should get back this weekend.

I just got Bloody Roads South so I have some more scenarios to try. I'm certain I'll have some more questions, I really appreciate the timely and thorough answers!

Thanks everyone, very helpful. I haven't had a chance to play much recently but looking forward to getting back soon!

I'll be trying new scenarios (i bought Bloody Roads South) so there will likely be more wuestions, you are really a tremendous help to (players like) me!

Thanks everyone. Yes I turned off auto replacement! So I'm buying a lot of them. So for example, I'll have a big battle. I hit F@ and looka t lien infantry - and its got the top number in red and it says I need something like 142. I buy something like 7 replacements. However, at the end of the turn ...

Another question here - I just don't understand how replacements work. I hit F2 and see the screen. Many of my forces have no replacements available; I assumed this meant it was a waste of resources to buy them. For the other, I'll buy 6 or 7 (usually line infantry) but then I get a message that say...

Well I was wrong again, I had a big victory as the Confederates. I think beating a human as the confederates in this scenario is very hard, but I can beat the AI (at least on Sergeant. Later will try a higher level).

Well happy to report that I won my last game big time; but I had fundamentally misunderstood a part of the scoring mechanism. Specifically, you get a LOT of VP's from battles . I had mixed up the VP's from winning a battle with the NM impact! So I thought you basically got 1 VP from winning a big ba...

Oh that makes sense. I see my corps commanders have boosted ratings.

Thanks!

Wow great help! Thanks so much! I hope you don't mind one follow on question? for combat benefits to elements, the article says the division leader and the stack leader both contribute. Does the army commander contribute also? So is there three sets of bonuses? Maybe I'll start doing replacements my...

Makes sense. I'm playing on default which is a pretty low level I think. But I think it is the only explanation for why the computer generates a lot more VP's regardless of which side you play. Does anybody know the answer to this? The whole issue is based on a fundamental set of related questions -...

breunorgamer

I hope you can help me with some questions I have: 1. If using the auto-replacement option, can you also add replacements yourself? I'm taking a lot of hits and the computer seems to be replacing very few hits, far less than the 1/20 for line infantry even though I have available resources. Is the A...

I've spent quite a bit of time on this. I can confirm that (Western Scenario): The computer is cheating on victory points. :crying: We can see the points per region (per turn) from hitting F8 (regional census) and sorting on the last column, which is victory points. For the Confederacy, at the start...

Thanks Armchair general. I'm trying to figure out exactly how VP's work. I haven't played much but I really like this Western Scenario.

Thanks also on the comments about the Sibley scenario and Bull Run, I also thought they were skewed.

Captain Orso, These RGD's impacted my first game (which I mentioned in crossed rifles) but at least for my totals in the new game first two turns, I played no RGD's. Moreover, they don't impact VP's/turn which is my main source of contention. They wouldn't get the Confederate total from 33/turn to 4...

Thanks again! Grey Fox, I'm the one who started the 'Crossed Rifles' thread, this is really a bit of a continuation. :) This is what I'm GUESSING is going on after taking all of the evidence so far, but let's remember a few points: First, there were only 2 battles, and I won both of them. therefore,...

breunorgamer

Thanks Captain Orso and Grey Fox. Captain Orso, I had done what you suggested; the only new objective on turn 2 for the Confederates that wasn't there on turn 1 is Tucson; is Tucson worth 8 points? For me (USA), there are no new objectives - do the objectives have more victory points on different tu...

breunorgamer

I'm having trouble figuring out the VP system. I read the Wiki article but it doesn't seem to be matching my game experience. I'm trying the Western Scenario. I played with the Union, and was what looked like winning big time - but I could never seem to get more victory points than the Confederates;...

breunorgamer

Thanks everyone, that really helps! I appreciate the detailed answers!

breunorgamer

Hi! I've just picked the game up and am starting to get used to it. So far its wonderful, thanks so much to everyone involved. I have a few questions but let me start with some specifics. Thanks for any help. I've played the tutorials, Bull Run, Shiloh, and the New Mexico Campaign. I'm now playing t...
