I am bumping this thread in the hope that the scenarios will get reworked soon to include things like heavy cavalry replacements for all nations that need them, as well as some multinational replacements (like the Italians in the Spanish campaign). I looked through the Historical Options for all nat...

- A few corrections to Otions and events (NB remain to correct not-working removal of units)

I don't understand this - does this mean the removal event bug has been fixed or remains unfixed in this patch?

When the Army of Shenandoah was spawned, i bought an Army HQ to speed up the replacements process. After 9 months of war this replacement is still in the pool. Sigh :tournepas Why "sigh"? Do you want your HQ replacement eaten so you have to buy another expensive one? You should count yourself lucky...

Hi, When do you start buying reinforcements a) with the union; buy replacements on the second or third turn to allow your damaged armies to heal buy 1 HQ replacement, 2-4 supply replacements, and 1-2 of all the others (don't buy INF, CAV, or MIL - you get those for free - and don't buy H Art or ENG...

Someone help me, but isn't that good value?

it's a good value until it's time to assign casualties

The manpower model is what keeps me from seeing this as a "serious" ACW game. Don't get me wrong, I love the game and it's probably the best ACW effort of all time, but it's possible for both players to build and maintain totally ahistorical troop levels. This grates on me. I don't believe there is ...

blackbellamy - 1) See, I don't understand that approach. How do you play as the Union and not run low on war supplies? 2)So there is no way you are only using 75 points per turn unless you mean only troop movements. 1) I don't know - I just don't. Perhaps I'm not as enamored by artillery and ships ...

I agree, but I assume events cause the drops in morale. It would be nice if this was made a bit clearer on the event description. Cheers, Chris please see this thread http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?t=5648 for events that adjust morale and victory levels starting in late 64

I think the only problem with the event is 10 morale might be just enough for a USA player to use gamey tactics to circumvent the spirit of the event.

blackbellamy

as a corollary to this, always remember that the projected totals are just that

i usually leave a comfortable buffer in case the projections fail since i hate starting a turn with zero or near-zero balances

Thanks Henry. Now that the divisions problem is solved, I will try to master the naval warfare in the game. So far, I moved some ships around without knowing what I am doing. Sent some in the Atlantic blocus box however it didnt increased the blockade level. send in more - it doesn't change per shi...

I usually do a bit of industrialization since I prefer to not run out of war supply, general supply, ammo, railroads, river boats and whatnot when I need it. As for lacking money; do you sell warbonds, raise taxes and/or print money? for my thoughts on taking money see my post in this thread http:/...

blackbellamy

technically armies, corps, fleets, and divisions are all containers

but divisions are special because they are the only container that can be placed inside another container (armies and corps in this case)

blackbellamy

heroes99 wrote:Army Command does not initiate combat on their own , however they have a chance to join the battle initiate by corps.division ..am I right ...?

In your case I believe the attack must have come from Union side

yeah Armies definitely do participate - they just don't initiate

blackbellamy

i never industralize

i can easily fight the war without running out of war supplies, and the other benefits of industralization are negligible

blackbellamy

Currently the best strategy is to take the most manpower you can. There's no real downside. The morale cost is so low I don't even consider it, and with the exception of the very first call for Volunteers, both sides can afford to pay 3,000 per point.

blackbellamy

I ask because, gamey as it sounds, sometimes I find I can accomplish what I want when my Army and Corps are inactive by taking the Divisions that are active within the inactive Corps and simply detaching/moving them. To face an opponent who maneuvered by divisions would be some kind of a wet dream ...

blackbellamy

Army Commands do not initiate combat, regardless of posture. Keep the Army behind the lines, staffed with leaders, extra supply wagons, a some reserve troops so the HQ doesn't get accidentally overrun - do not send them into battles.

blackbellamy

have these changes made it into the official patch yet?

blackbellamy

Units in passive posture get them first.

blackbellamy

Filtering for fixed units now allows you to determine that state in enemy units, something not available before.

blackbellamy

This is not something you want to keep track of IMO. Once you start worrying about individual elements to this extent it's easy to let turns pass until all the micromanaged details are straightened out and oops there goes the spring offensive.
