most likely (not sure tho)
however (since that wont help you in your dilemma) you have to move the eligible corps commander closer to the army commander to make him part of THAT army you wish, theres no other way around that.

I tried to count historical Confederate divisions for 1863 once, and got close to 24, but I'm not sure that included cavalry divisions. I agree it does not make sense for better than historical CSA performance. I would raise the cap by at least 6 to 30. The leader mod doubles the cap to 48, which p...

Well several losses for the Union would force it to print money and issue higher bonds. It creates a vicious circle which even the Union's economy can't sustain in the long run. ? it creates nothing, really. inflation is no factor in the game, your only concern would be loosing NM.

Can it be that that issue (if it is one) never has been discussed ? I simply truley believe that, especially, the CSA produces to easy too much ammo and general supply , compared to history. You only need to industrialize one state (any cheap will do) to literally bath in ammo and supplies, while in...

And since they both represent lost units, does it matter?



ranged is casualties inflicted by artillery and musket fire
