The one sure way to throttle CSA raiding of your shipping is to instigate blockades on CSA harbours. I lose a lot of ships [blockade runners] in my PvP games. The yankee blockades will slow down raiders considerably and often do a lot of damage to them and I have to return them for resupply or lose ...

There is exception to every rules : I would put a garrison into a city if I want to avoid cavalry raid on my supply structures behind the front line because I know that a party without supply wagon won't be able to lay a siege for long. Against AI I dont bother with garrisons playing as CSA. Unless...

I am amongst the many eagerly awaiting. The body rocking and drooling is well adanced. Presently playing the SVF version for 1.15 and having a great battle with one of my nephews. I havent seen an update mention on Clovis blog since january 19th and I am wondering if I have missed something about th...

We have to know the exact scenario being played April/July, -KY or not. Doubled up units are generally scenario specific when combined with some of the external event files. In order to narrow down the database search time, we need the additional information. Thank you. For me it is the full April6...

I'd like to report, in patch 1.14c ; April 1861 2 Theatre ; Confederacy game Unit: Mclungs Arty Bn, & 1st Texas Cavalry Location: Madison TN First, Mail box reports the units as activated, but they are still locked. Later, a Union army attacks the units sometime around Aug to Oct 1861. This causes ...

I wonder if the same fate befell as did me - the acquisition of a bawling pink bundle of future poverty? i.e a baby daughter!

Ta for this! Now to find the time to play it!

New and Improved! :D This package consists of two files: "Artillery Analysis 2.0", which is the discussion; and "AA2", which is a spreadsheet. Both files use Open Office , which I strongly recommend using to open them, although they can be opened with MS Office too. Good to see that the community i...

Probably sneaking by him although I have never found art in Norfolk ever firing at anything? A few of the Atlanyic coastal forts do and to great effect as my nephew found out when he tried a go for jugular attacks on Charleston and Wilmington - his frigates went glug! glug!

glug!.

The question's about a year old, but it's still good (unlike milk). Siege artillery like mortars are probably moderately useful inside forts, but they have the "siege expert" ability, making them more useful outside forts attacking in. I always build seige guns in anticipation of having a crack at ...

It very rarely works out as you plan it. Not even against AI which can sometimes pull a surprise on you so you have to react to changing circumstances. I know that a lot of us like to try and fill out our divisions according to the 12 inf 1 sharps 1 cav 4 art balance but in reality that just does no...

Against AI I use it both ways as AI is no human opponent - so agaist Union Shiping and to blockade run. Against my human opponenst I only go for breaking blockade options and park any steam frigates in particular in blockade boxes - my runners tend to last longer that way!

It is jan 63 and the blue armies never made a real amphibic assault on one of my ports, I like to see that, they just hang in Washington build enormous armies there but never attack, just futile raids that have no chance to success. Maybe 63 will bring some big battles I still wait for them. I fort...

Oh and I never fortify Norfolk - like others I view that as a waste as in PvP I have never been able to hold it for duration of War! Against AI i have but I still dont fortify. What I would really like to do with Norfolk is unlock that Naval Engineer and move him to Wilmigton or some other Port!

I am finding that (for the CSA) building forts MAY be a waste of much-needed artillery and supply resources...at least in the first year or two of the struggle. what are the specific benefits of having a fort in a region and, are they really worth expending these resources to build...again, strictl...

The game is just not designed for a quick victory. Playing against AI I found that best way to rack up NM points was to crush your enemies armies in battles. Even then fast wins are out of question or so it seems to me. It has always infuriated my nephew when playing against me as CSA that my CSA mo...

I dont think that there is any way to enforce anything approaching historical accuracy! Why would you want to?

I tried it but gave it up as a bad idea as we are all playing What If? scenarios even in a full campaign!

Build your own depot - assuming that you have already captured NO. If you arrived in NO without the necessary tools to do the job - perhaps you need to rethink?

My nephew made a similar mistake in the PvP games against me! Arrived without any supply!

Brochgale

Thank Clovis for the work he did - but everyone of us needs a break sometimes or we go nuts!

I guess I am happy that I kept copies of the old patches just in case my PvP against nephew playing SVF ever gets started!

On a humerous note?

I always wondered about Tobacco trade in the ACW being someone who is partial to Virginia blends, speaking as an addict I think any embargo on Tobacco should be reason enough for Brit intervention on side of CSA - I

I want to applaud you on your post as it has given me an idea to use in my next game against that pesky yank of a nephew!

I have not played this yet but under some pressure from my human opponent to give it a try but I am bit confused as to what patch this is desigend to work with - I have read all about those bugs with 1.13e. Also is there anything else I need to install to play this. We are also having a debate abouy...

I like Bragg in the game and he has served me well so far. Dispirited leader isn't the worst trait in the world. You just have to make sure you give his men plenty of time to recover or take a chance and put them in passive posture on a turn you don't think the enemy will attack. Also training mast...

Bragg is a 5-3-1 with Training Master (OK, and Dispirited Leader). As a corps commander, he will be active most of the time, and he will give huge bonuses as an Army commander. So why hamstring him? I hamstring him because of that dispirited leader trait - cant afford dispirited troops in CSA , als...

The attached link presents the history of the Confederate financing. Figure 5 gives the values of CSA Cotton and Junk Bonds over time during the ACW. You are correct in that the bond price did collapse to £36 after Gettysburg and Vicksburg. However, the drop was only temporary as the price rose to ...
