anymore news???

dave

i agree with dinsdale, it definately has the right 'feel'. i am playing my first game on normal difficulty as the south and i am really finding this game to be one of the best ive ever played (BTW ive had computers since the ZX81 so ive played a few games :sourcil: ) I love the way you are in charge...

dave

Once again,

Thanks for your quick response.

dave

Excellent

Thanks Pocus!!

Will the update work on current games or do you recommend a restart?

dave

Thanks Rafiki. I think i have a problem here in that i have played u until around sept 62 without saves so will not be able to post screenshots!!! I did say i was a novice at this!!! I think i will have to call it a day on this, because i must agree endless posts full of text will not make a good AA...

dave

Anyone with more to report on how this works out. In my current game the Union AI seems to have gone a bit inactive, so i was thinking of restarting with new settings.

Maybee extra AI time and FOW+1

Would love to hear how people are getting on with this!

dave

any chance of a hint of what we might get in the patch pocus??

please!!!

dave

thanks pocus, but as i said i am a novice at this. i dont know how to post screenshots or i would!!

[SIZE="3"][CENTER] THE WAR OF SOUTHERN INDEPENDENCE [/CENTER][/size] I have been constantly playing this game for a week or so now and I like it that much I have decided to write an AAR about my first ‘real’ grand campaign (By real I mean I have played once or twice but only the first few turns as p...

I would play bull run and shiloh, just to get the hang of moving troops about and to get used to the battle screen etc. I did this then moved on to the april 61 campaign. I ended up restarting this a couple of times after two or three turns as i realised mistakes i made or features i missed out on. ...

dave

Thanks. Any news on a date for the patch (I know... when its done is the usual answer).

Once again i must say that i am really loving this game. Im up to July 62 in my first 'real' game and i am totaly immersed in it!

dave

well,

dont think that rail makes any difference to the unit in question (the 3rd reserve brigade) it would seem that this unit is supposed to be 'unlocked' out of supply.

strange.

dave

thanks for the advice Jim (BTW I am waiting for the next update of your aar - whats taking you so long

)

i am going to try running the game until the point that the brigde comes active without doing anything at all to see if rail supply is effecting this unit

dave

Just thought, would the fact that i am using rail transport constantly to move troops around affect this???

i bet thats it!!! can anyone confirm please??

thanks!!!!

dave

Wondering if any of you guys can help with this.... Playing as the csa in the apr 1861 campaign and in july 1861 (i think) the 3rd reserve brigade becaomes active in rockbridge (?) VA. However it is out of supply. Why? I check the supply overlay and its ok, i retry and build a supply depot next to i...

dave

How do I get them???

I purchased one as a reinforcement but cant see where it is, and also i cant find the division hq.

I am playing csa its late june 1861 - is that why?

thanks in advance

dave

dave

thats great pocus, thanks!!!

dave

greetings chamberlain, beleive me, you are not the only one who feels a bit lost!!. The thing is, even thouh i havent got my finger on everything yet i can tell that the game is well made and is going to be worth the effort!!!! A lot of games you just throw to one side when you cant understand it st...

Great!!!

I think this is the one feature i would like to see more than any other non-essential update!!

dave

You can't move element outside the unit it belongs to. Element is the smallest part of an unit simulated by the game and is definitively attached to it since the time unit was created. thanks for the answer. So if in one turn i recruit a militia unit in say virginia and i also recruit in virginia a...

Hello All, Played the tutorials and first manassas scenario, have a few questions before i move on. 1) Command Structure - I understand the army/corps/division relationship (i think!!), but how do i move elements e.g. how do i put a single regiment into a brigade?? 2) Army size - I think its great t...

dave

Nice to see someone being honest enough to post an aar when losing!!. Sounds like the souths advantage in generals is going to be a factor in the eastern theatre!!!

dave

pocus,

will we see actual numbers of troops or will this be represented by 'hits' ?

dave

i must say that with each of these daily updates i am looking forward to the game more and more. Are we close to screenshots yet?

dave

good stuff!!

how does strategic controll work??

also the weather affecting movement sounds great!!

dave

no chance of an aar??

dave

great!!

i await an aar with screenies to whet my appetite!!!

dave

sounds great but i must admit i prefer games that last a few evenings, is this style of play (I.E. longer, more detailed campaigns) catered for?

thanks
