Hi As the title says - will a marine unit in a corps give its bonus (reg. opposed river crossings) to all divisions in the corps? Or do I need to have a marine in each division? And another question on marines: I just lost 4 marines units due to a stupid mistake on my side (tried to ride them direct...

I'm playing the July 61 scenario - just changed to the latest patch - game originally started on the beta patch. On the first turn I gained control over Norfolk harbour - obviously a scripted event. I've replayed the first few turns of this scenario a few times now and at no time is anything mention...

Hi I'm slowly getting the hang of this wonderful game. I've chased the Blue of of Fort Monroe in July 62, just to see one of their blockade fleets move in and trap the army I used for the assault. Now it can't move! :-) So I think "CSS Virginia to the rescue". And I start looking for her - but can't...

briny_norman

Yes, I ended up doing just that.
Had to back up 3 turns, but they were winter turns, so not much happening anyway.

Hi
Is it possible to demote a 3-star general to 2 stars?
I've accidentally promoted Jackson to 3 stars and want him back at 2 again...
In the manual whenever there's talk about demotion it seems to have to do with army command - not no. of stars.
Is it possible to remove a star from a general?

Would be great to have leader deaths as a toggle in the options.
I REALLY don't like when leaders randomly die - I know it's a question of personal preference, but a toggle in the options would solve the problem:

Leader random death rate: Realistic (high); medium; low; very low; none.

briny_norman

That's the coolest answer of the day...
Thank's a million!

briny_norman

Thanks alot!
In a perfect world I would have liked to have both focus on move in the turn resolution and static camera during replay.
But you can't have it all!

briny_norman

Is there any way to stop the camera from wandering during turn replay?

I find the replay feature pretty useless as long as the camera wanders from one corner of the map to the other on its own (highlighting battles taking place) while I just want to follow the movements in one particular area.

briny_norman

The "Automatic retreat" rule sounds very good.
Look forward to trying it out!

briny_norman

Don't know if I'm too late to the ball... but I just want to confirm other reports here that the 11.g patch seems to have almost eliminated multiple-day battles. But the battle losses seem improved - I've only had one battle with excessive losses and no instances of total annihilation. Things seem t...

Will it help me to have more than one naval engineer in a port?

How is 'passive posture' defined?
Is a defensive posture passive?

Is there an updated leader list out there somewhere? The one I have came with the original download, I think, and it gave very helpful information on leaders' stats and the way they changed when they got promoted. I assume many corrections have been made to the generals' stats and abilities since th...

briny_norman

Interesting to hear that you have been adjusting the battle losses and length.
Can you go into a little more detail about what you have done and are trying to achieve...?

Will install patch now and monitor the battle results...
Is it okay to install the patch and continue with a saved game?

briny_norman

Good, that makes sense.
Nice detail - I love how small things like this has been taken under consideration.

briny_norman

I just promoted Lyon from 1 start to two stars, but doing that seem to have stripped him from the increase in his stats that he gained from experience. Before the promotion his stats were 5-2-3 (defense 1 up from his starting stats of 5-2-2). After the promotion his stats are 5-2-2 again. I know som...

Thanks!

Been wondering what light infantry is good for...
Are they just 'lighter' than other infantry (less hitting power) or do they have some special qualities I should take advantage of...?

briny_norman

Just to add my 2 cents: I like the idea of a 'Battles Losses Cyber Nanny' very much. I have been thinking along these lines myself. It looks simple (relatively) and effective. Perhaps not the most elegant solution, but since I've had practically all my games ruined by disastrous battles where whole ...

briny_norman

I'm very curious as to what Clovis has been able to do with regards to battle-losses. Crazy battle-losses where whole armies get wiped out (with no fault on my part...! ;) ) has ruined 3 out of 4 games for me. And last thing I heard, Clovis considered himself close to a solution to this issue... (ap...

On the disappearing generals: I had a feeling it was a feature of some sort, but having two of my best generals disappear on the same turn was brutal...! So maybe it should be tuned down... Would it be correct to assume that changing the Probability value for the event "evt_nam_USA_SHERMAN_notretain...

Couldn't figure out how to attach files to personal messages, so I'll just upload my !Main log file here.
Please note that there is a handful of screenshots to illustrate the problem in my post "Disappearing generals" in this forum.

briny_norman

EDIT: Hm, now general's portraits on map icons are beginning to disappear to be replaced by the Army HQ one. Somethings amiss... CSA 5th column activities maybe...

briny_norman

Ok, so this seems to be a general (no pun intended) occurrence. Another small thing - map icon portraits seem a bit mixed up. It is not the highest ranking or most senior commander's portrait that is shown, but some, apparently random, other guy's. For example, map icon portraits for corps seem to c...

briny_norman

Hood, take a look at my post "Disappearing generals" in this forum.
Is this the same thing you are experiencing?

briny_norman

Yes, just realized that, sorry.

briny_norman

Hi Clovis, I've just posted a question in the general forum concerning disappearing generals in my game. I'm playing your mod and now realize I probably should have posted here instead. So, hope you'll take a look at it anyway... EDIT: Aforementioned post has been moved to this forum, so this thread...

briny_norman

Of course, should have done that from the start. I'm playing Clovis' mod (Struggle for a vast future), the full campaign, I'm in early june '62. I've attached a couple of screenshots. 'Sherman 1' shows the view of Sherman's division when hovering over it with the pointer. His portrait is in the pop-...

briny_norman

I've just lost two of my best generals - Sherman and Hooker - to what looks like a bug, though I'm not sure. Their portraits have disappeared, but the tabs and divisions they commanded are still called by their name and there are now two brigades called Sherman and Hooker. They have also disappeared...
