Yes, I can host. Since I think you said you don't have pm, where do you want the turn file sent. Does the following setup sound good?: Full Campaign: April 61 w kentucky neutral Activation - non activated generals can't move Delayed Commitment - long naval - standard Historical attrition foreign ent...

i'll play an AACW game. Either side works for me.

:mdr: We already have nº 3: Meade was born in Cádiz, Spain. Could that count as "token Latino representation"?? ;) 4: I strongly disagree!. Both genders are equally represented: zero male voices; zero female voices :D That's not right. I might be wrong, but female voices didn't count in the 1860's....

Interesting. Anybody else use this? Or is that too unrealistic? Really, other than #7 in original post, not sure anything else here justifies a new version except improved AI. As I've posted before, Ai should take historical strategies more into account. Not to reproduce historical results, but to ...

I would like to see more of a Division/Brigade relationship, possibly similar to how army and corps act now. But more emphasis on the division and brigade at least. A possible scale of 8 to ten for stats could be in order than. I believe there is already frontage in the game, as an option, it would ...

Yeah, initially the war was about Preserving the Union, as the Critterden-Johnson Act stated, and even Lincoln himself , as Redeemer pointed out. Later on, freeing the slaves became seen as a means to that end, since presumably, preserving slavery was a major goal of the CSA, if they ended slavery ...

The original post has a slight point and I can see his frustration. When I originally bought my download, I think it was through matrix games, it was $50. That is still the price for most downloads I believe (Matrix, Ageod, Gamergate). But the game 'retail' through a box and mortar store like best b...

I'm quite happy for there to be disasters Gray.....but please lets make them historical. In the instances you cite, as you yourself say, one of them was not a battle so its hardly comparable. The other, Vicksburg also resulted in large numbers of troops surrendering. Now in the game battle reports ...

I think 60,000 troops lost is plausible across a river. Lee's Army was teetering on collapse during Antietam from my readings and that didn't evolve a river. Lee's army was held up I believe by heavy rains, facing capture several times after Gettysburg. Jackson routed an entire corps at Chanclersvil...

I'm still trying to figure out what win actually means in game terms. :) If you're an attacker it would mean dislodging the enemy to me, which is probably more difficult than inflicting more casualties. I suppose it depends on your overall strategy to define the actual victor. Sometimes "winning" m...

... the computer can still chuck you the loose dice :thumbsup: So is that what determines who "leaves" is a victor dice roll, or is the victor based on who retreats? Than again, I noticed even on draws there is someone retreating. Personally I get annoyed by the retreating mechanism. I wish the "ba...

I "win" all the time with lopsided odds. You must define win. If "winning" is taking over the objective, it usually takes someone like a Jackson to win close to 1 to 1, and in my experience that only works on a division scale or less (div vs div) but if the objective is to have less causaulties, I "...

Runyan, as a British European, with due respect, I could argue the same about AACW.....'what real chance did the South ever have of winning the war'. As has been pointed out to me many many times by folks more well versed in American history than me....they had a chance....perhaps not much but they...

I think it would be a daunting task just to code a tactical game "engine" to something of the scale of take command or total war. And the game likely wouldn't be "AACW" anymore I like D_K's thinking of "zooming" in, but then from a play perspective, that would take hours to play out. The Civil war g...

I really liked the American Civil war game you guys put out. I got to wondering if you guys were going to put out a World War II game and stumbled upon this thread. In a grand strategic aspect, I'm not a big fan of the Victorian era. Many of the conflicts and struggles seemed more "internal". Thus, ...

Dear Lucy, I must write with haste for my time is near. For six days and nights an armada of Union ironclads has bombarded Ft. Donelson at which I am stationed. Their shells did little physical harm to the men themselves, but the constant shelling has eroded our defenses, and the men’s spirit. On th...
