Hi Spruce,

Let me see if I understand what you said. If I want to increased war supplies, I should invest in a state that is already producing them. Investing in a rural state is more likely to yield an increase in general supply stock. Is this correct?

Thanks

In case I missed it in the latest readme file, what's the current thinking on industrializing the South? Do we still keep to focusing on those states with poorer industrial potential?

Thanks!

be carefull,the five volume set appears to only go as far as steele bayou,so its not the complete set. Aye, upon closer inspection that does look rather strange, thanks. (Makes me glad I bought the complete anniversary set when I did). I'd like to echo what others have mentioned about Foote capturi...

Just a plug for the new division rules--I like 'em and they've revived my interest in AACW. Though my desire is in playing the '62, '63 and '64 campaigns, I can appreciate how the new division rules may create some historical imbalances for the start of the war. Any changes I hope would be along the...

Has there been any change with increasing the penalties for repeatedly printing greenbacks? I went through the readme file for the last couple of patches but nothing jumped out at me.

Thanks!

Time-Life offers a stunning, illustrated version of Foote's monumental work. I have the 14 Volume 40th anniversary edition which is now out of print, however there's a more recent 5 volume illustrated edition available. I assume it contains the same photos, drawings, and battle maps of the 14 volume...

Unless I have missed this somewhere in the documentation, or tutorials, is there any way to remove some of the detail from the main playing map just to be able to look over the strategic situation? I realize that a lot of the graphics on screen are to give rail, road, cities, etc., type of informat...

I converted the Quick Reference Guide to PDF form for myself and others if so desired so you can print it out and add it to your current printed out manual. Note: I did very little in the way of format changes since it will probably have some changes made by development changes for a while. When th...

Take a long hard look at the command structure of AACW, if you like it or even love its rather novel approach then it's worth swimming up the learning curve of everything else. If you have a neutral reaction or actively dislike the unit shuffling it entails then perhaps it's best to steer clear of t...

Actually I find the mid-length scenarios, such as Montcalms 32 turn game, far more enjoyable than any of the short 6-10 turn scenarios. Also the mid-length scenarios are a very nice change of pace from the exhausting marathon of the complete war type scenario. The lower unit density helps as well. ...

Rebel cavalry leader, Earl Van Dorn was shot dead in 1864 by an irate and jealous husband!! Too bad for Rebs; he was a good'un. Tag Hmmm....may be by '64 I should disengage Van Dorn as leader of the Army of the West--just in case said jealous doctor-husband decides to go on a shooting spree and wip...

I'm looking to play the '62 campaign, my opponent to choose the side he wishes to play.

I'm thinking of almost daily turns barring vacations, family activities, and work emergencies.

Send PM.

Hi PJL,

See your PM mailbox.

Per the sticky in the support forum on how to report bugs: In case of a bug or a crash: 1. Quit as soon as possible the game 2. Go to the folder AGEod's American Civil War\ACW\Saves\. 3. You will find there the game you were playing. If you have several games with the same name, then its the one wit...

Well, since we're talking about boardgames, I'll hijack this topic and ask if anyone has played Eagle Games' The American Civil War ? see: http://www.eaglegames.net/products/ACW/acw_resources.shtml I'm intrigued with it since it has a graded scale of rule complexity. I can usually get my kids and ne...

NP, I was only a few turns into said campaign.

Thanks for stomping so quickly on the bug.

You should have 3 available HQ's. You get 2 by event in mid-late 1861. A 3rd in January 1862, a 4th in January 1863, and a 5th in January 1864. Looking at the 1862 scenario file, I only see two Confederate Army HQ units. One with J. E. Johnston, and the other with A.S. Johnston. Theoretically, you ...

Aye, I know I'm grasping a straws, but without a new HQ for the ANV I think I'm up the creek with this campaign.

leure:

Charleson

I did purchase an army HQ from the replacement screen after the fact, but the replacement HQ stays in the reserve pool and I cannot access it. My roaster reports two army HQ's; the Army of Mississippi and the Army of the West--but no ANV. There is no option to purchase a new army HQ from the reinfor...

Er....early in the '62 Struggle for the Heartland campaign J. Johnson managed to get the ANV all shot up to the tune of 18k casualties which included the ANV HQ (though the Union did lose 15K). Johnson was wounded in the battle and is off mending in Winchester. I didn't see this as too much of a pro...

I did an Army "staff ride" of the Vicksburg campaign last week...including an extended stop at the USS Cairo exhibit. Its a must visit if anyone is in the area. Awesome, I didn't know there were surviving (if albeit raised from the mud) ironclads around. http://www.nps.gov/archive/vick/cairo/cairo....

I'm in Late-Oct. 1862 with my CSA game. In general I have followed the following strategy. 1) Build up in the East and focus on consolidating positions in Winchester, Fredricksburg, and Manassas with strong (800-900+) Corps. Avoid major engagements, let the Federal troops break themselves upon my e...

Green beans? Coffee paste?

That's fascinating, thanks Soccercw.

I'll have to see if I can find any coffee paste at the upcoming reenactment at Greenfield Village this month.

You know you can form a Corps back out East, load it on ships (or at least load ships onto the Corps), move down South and still have a working corps? Of course you won't get support from your Army commander, but you will have unrestricted Command. Actually, I did not know that Caranorn. I thought ...
