I have a simple 2 fold question about Artillery. 1. when in a division or a Corps do you incorporate Artillery into a stack (using the + sign) for best benifits or do you just leave them as tag along units attached to the Division, Corps, Ect. Is there any benifit when the Division becomes part of ...

once again: if you play vs the AI and at least "try" to simulate the ACW , use those generals as they were used in history. you lll get a glimpse of how things happened as Lincoln. if you want to win at all cost, sure , use that gamey and cheap tactics to send those generals into death, but then you...

I have tried this but the promotion (medal) button is greyed out for both officers in question. They are outside the stack and promotable. What might be the problem (playing the Blue side)? I would upload a file as proof but it exceeds the size of 1.9 Mbyte. if the button is greyed they are not pro...

Hi, you are right in the respect that you get to the unit when clicking on the message. The unit are then not totally finished with training and has a low cohesion value. I would rather prefer a message when the unit is combat ready . Of course the situation might be different for the Conferderates...

medics and marines you need per corps.
sharpshooters to have the desired effect, need to be per division

3. How do people use cavalry for raids? I've been sending out single units which move fast but can't stand up to anything. If there's a single militia somewhere then I can't take the town and burn the depot. Do people send out stronger groups (e.g. 2 units & a cavalry artillery)? 4. What do people ...

Coffee Sergeant's thoughts about carrying spare Corps commanders are somewhat more worrying to me though. I would like to see the change where Corps commanders suffer the same penalty as Divisional commanders when taking up a new command. I extra corps commanders are extra gamey, detaching a divisi...

Be a man! :cwboy: Try to use him as a "real" army commander or sack him and take the hit. Either way, your campaign will be more "interesting". :sourcil: You have lots of money, war supplies, conscripts... the CSA don't. :bonk: If you use a gamey trick to dispose of little Mac and friends the CSA w...

Lee argued that a successful Raid of the North would have forced the Union to send forces East from the West. From my reading of the situation the North would have to have suffered major reverses for that to happen. The South would have been better served if they had sent men West sooner, and Lee p...

O.k, so gone are the visions of Marines storming the beaches. 1. What forces would you then use to form a good balanced landing party or one with the most effect? 2. What steps are involved in taking out a fort and what forces are best for this type of operation? 3. If you have Art. on a ship, does...

I agree!! Gettyusburg is a wonderful movie; G&G was terrible. John Wayne made a CW movie where he played General Gregg in his famous raid through Mississippi. Overall pretty good, too much tilted toward the Union. Aside, for Marcone, If Gregg had run across Forrest ... no more Gregg. He was very lu...

I just noticed in the manual that CSA commerce raiders do not bring their war supply booty back to the south, they just decrease northern war supplies by the reported amount. Hope someone confirms that this is correct. That may be my answer. commerce raiders (the ones in the shipping lanes) = subtr...

O.k. you CSA warriors. What is the strategy to holding these at all cost. Should I put a strong division inside the forts or entrench them outside? Should I build a depot on these forts or does it really matter. Both instances the union would be crossing a river or fighting in a swamp, so I think a...

and the other major world powers would have immediately recognize the CSA too. i have a hard time believing this, in fact i'd give you an outright "No". The so called "major powers" most likely never intended to recognize the CSA as sovereign state, theres a reason they played so much "on time" for...

wouldnt it make more sense if you added support units to your divs giving your greater bonuses rather than at corp level ? any of you history buffs know if CSA/Union divs had signal or med companies at div or corp level in real life ? http://www.civilwarhome.com/confederatemedical.htm

The 1863 invasion, on the other hand, may have had Western events in mind. This is certainly the view of Foote. A comprehensive defeat of the AOP leading to threats against Washington DC or Philadelphia would probably have forced the Union to transfer troops from the West. This might have caused th...

you dont need support units in each divisions if the division is in a corps, you can place the sup.unit into the corps stack.
you can add support units to independent divisions but you dont have the ressources early on to do that

DirkX

As of 1) that's true, unfortunately. General to be promoted must be unattached from stack if not in command and if he's a div commander then yes, u must disband then promote, wait for promotion then eventually rebuild the div and repay its costs. As of 2) yes you can promote as many as the seniorit...

I have formed artillery divisions under Generals like Alexander with the Artillerist ability but only with 4 artillery elements in them! I have those divisions - 4 in total placed in cities I consider essential to the defense of the confederacy - I do have siege artillery in each of those divisions...

1) What do the Oc. Ship -> Transport do if placed in blockade box for CSA? I had supposed them being bigger ships, they would bring in more money though i see clearly that brigs are much more appropriate for the job, do Oc. Transports bring more $ to CSA (though being more vulnerable to patrols) or...

Do most people promote generals like Jackson and Longstreet, or keep them as they are? Jackson is your best corps commander, dont promote him since his stats go down, and Lee is enough as single army commander in virginia. Longstreet is a good choice to promote to 2-stars since you lack good corps ...

if you lose an army all your attached corps become independent and lose alot of CP, basically corps with 2 divisions are around a 20% combat-penalty.
