Yes if the war ends in the same way as it did historically the result between the players should be a tie. I doubt Jeff Davis would have considered his final results a tie, nor would the Japanese in WWII. Players looking for an "even" game should play chess or checkers. Wargames typically are (to o...

My experience thus far, is to ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS zip the save game files that are emailed back and forth. Marcus and I had several "randomly" corrupted by just attaching them as is ... Don't know why.

OK, Sherman is at least active from the get go, but can't have him join Grant's army either. Just seems odd to have an Army Command at the start without an Army assigned to go with it.... Or am I missing something ?

scout1

SHould I be surprised by the following or is it that I haven't a clue what I'm doing .... 1) Buell starts inactive 2) Grant (Army of Tenn) starts active but has NO ONE assigned to it other than a signal unit 3) At the very start, can't assign anyone to Grant's Army. Bunch of units are in the same ge...

Is there any downside to having a corp/unit join an Army vs staying indpendent ? Not asking about competing commands where one commander is better than another. Wondering about independent status vs part of an army ? Also, does it matter how close/in a unit is compared to the command radius ? Is a u...

When the army is selected, mouse-over the army emblem, and you'll get a tooltip listing the corps under it, as well as their current locations. Also, when the army is selected, the corps will blink red, just like the parent army will blink red when the corps is selected. PS: You've only had 4 dumb ...

Ok, I'm getting a bit more familar with the gaming system. They provide a graphical representation as to the command radius per commander. Is there anything that provides a graphical (or otherwise) representation as to what units are under a given command to determine if the boys are within that rad...

If you are the USA and the host then you send your opponent the CSA .trn file. I do not know why you are getting a .txt added to the end of the file when unzipping. Maybe you can just right click on the file and rename it by simply deleting the .txt so it ends in .ord. Why would you want to create ...

I'm guessing I can't read or follow directions .... I send "a" *.trn file to my opponent (if I'm the USA, do I send the CSA or the USA *.trn) ? I'm the host .... Then can I create a separate folder later on and dump the returned ord file(s) into it ? My opponent sent his ord as part of a zip file, c...

The manual has a fairly good description of the process; have you checked it out? in fairness, no. I've lost alot of faith in manuals being helpful. Though I did go there after this message. It did get me to the point of sending the trn file, but still left me lacking as to whether to proceed or wa...

WOuld appreciate if someone would give me the low down on what the host and non-host needs to provide/sent relative to a pbem game ......

thanks in advance

Just to be clear, I'm not an AGEOD developer, this would be an unofficial third party utility. pakfront, Understood. I'm not after official or unofficial. I just raised that "this would be a good thing". If it is possible outside the official route, great. If it possible inside the official route, ...

For a division, you have to disband it temporarily to detach a unit, yes. You can reassemble it the same turn at no cost, minus the unit you subtracted. ok, I show my inexperience for the game/UI ..... The display at the bottom shows the units. If I have a division with a boat load of units and wan...

I haven't really poked around with the save game format. I'll see what I can do. Not promising too much, as I'd rather spend my time playing than coding ;) What do you know, maybe not Dumb Question #3 ..... :sourcil: I'll have to save that designation for later..... Now I haven't got into this game...

:sourcil: Since I'm on a roll, might as well continue :sourcil: Does this game provide the option of viewing the command structure of one, multiple, or all commands in "typical" TOE structure ? Not specific to the region I'm looking at, but wanting to glance though any given command(s) to see who ha...

I'm working my way through the tutorial and have a question regarding transfering a unit from one command to another. My limited knowledge indicates that I have to disband the ENTIRE command where it is starting from to move it elsewhere. Tell me that I've misunderstood this and there is an easier w...

Under Window Mode: Fixed Resolution, with border. But be warmed the side scrolling of the map takes a significant hit as you have to be positioned just right to get it to scroll and slows down. As others have said the best thing to do is open the other program you want, then ACW and alt tab to it. ...

Went there (I think, the one with 2 tabs (s/n and display ?) Went to display, not obvious what setting to change ?

Just loaded the game and trying to learn my way around. First question : How do you minimize this game to free up the PC ? Windows based programs allow this directly with the mouse. Legacy programs (like War in the Pacific) allows me to Alt-Tab and it sends it down. Can't find anything that works. I...
