Cossacks shouldnt be able to penetrate your lines if you have a division or more in an Offensive or Assault command posture. Units in a Defensive or Passive posture will let a cossack scoot right on through.

The Synch Move command requires that the Army HQ be present in the region. You give the Army HQ the Synch Move command along with any other Corps you wish to coordinate. Move the Army HQ to the intended region and you'll notice that the Synched Corps are coming along for the ride. The intent of the ...

Sorry about the delay in posting. I caught a bad flu over the weekend and I've been too sick to do much of anything.

The Walk-Through will next cover Battles, the Battle Report, and the Command Posture/ROEs.

Just give me a day or two to shake this flu and I'll be back in action.

Turn 6 After the heavy fighting over the last couple weeks, French forces could do with a rest and a few turns of gathering replacements. Unfortunately, with bad weather on the horizon, I need to hustle the French troops into Wien as quickly as possible. This operation requires a none-too-subtle ad...

Ah, I see what you mean. Yes indeed. You can remove these units from the Division "container".

Look at Post #9 in this thread for details on how its done.

I think... stress think... that it works the same way in AACW as it does in NCP.

I'm not sure what you mean by a vertical stack. If you mean multiple Forces in the same region.... you can click-drag units out of Forces and drop them into other Forces at will if they are in the same region.

Yes indeed.

As it happens, a detailed summary on how combat is resolved is being prepared at this moment. I'm looking at posting the summary within a day or two as the Walk-Through unfolds.

Promotions One of the things I’ve failed to mention thus far is the ability of Leaders to earn battlefield promotions. If a Leader distinguishes himself on the field of glory he sometimes becomes eligible for promotion. In order to become eligible, a Leader must earn a minimum of four (4) Seniority...

You can also do a simple copy & paste into a Word document as well. At the moment, a stand alone Strategy Guide for NCP is being developed that will eventually be made available in a .pdf format. Much of the information being presented here is taken directly from that. I can't give you any time fram...

I hope everyone has been entertained somewhat by my running commentary over the last couple turns of the Walk-Through. I'm going to shift gears for a bit and begin to cover some game features that I glossed over in my haste to reach an exciting conclusion to the scenario. Please feel free to ask que...

Turn 5 The more I look at the Russian counter-offensive in Bavaria, the more I see this attack as either a feint or very ill-considered. If Bernadotte was ever really threatened in his position along the Naab, that time has passed. Murat’s cavalry is under orders to sweep Coalition cavalry back ove...

Turn 4 The discovery of a Russian offensive north of the Danube has caused me to rethink certain assumptions I’ve been making regarding the defense of Munchen. I had originally held the opinion that the Coalition would throw everything it could into a defense of the city. Now it appears that at lea...

Thus far, Napoleon has had a fairly easy time brushing aside the Coalition forces arrayed against him north of the Alps. With the destruction of Mack’s Austrians in Ulm and Davout’s capture of the Regensburg depot, the first set of French objectives has been accomplished. Russian troops should start...

Before moving on, let’s discuss a couple things that I have yet to touch on in any great detail. The first thing we should consider is the weather. Weather This scenario starts in early October. A late autumn start date means that the weather will soon be turning harsh (i.e. Mud and Snow). As we ent...

Yes. The same procedures work in AACW. If I understand your second question properly "How do I remove brigades from Division units?", I put together this graphic that explains how it's done.

Turn 2 Thus far, the war north of the Alps has been won at the cost of shoe leather. Napoleon’s Grande Armee has been marching divided—this turn they will fight united. Mack’s Army in Ulm will be attacked by Ney, Soult, Lannes, and Marmont’s Corps backed up by Napoleon’s Grande Armee HQ and the Imp...

As expected, the assault on Mantua was exceedingly bloody. General Lecchi was among the first to fall. While French troops managed to take the fortress, Archduke Karl’s Austrians arrived on the scene to promptly force a withdrawal to Verona. Although casualties among St. Cyr’s Corps were heavy, Fren...

Turn 1 Keep in mind that my walk-through shows just one way to approach this scenario. I’m not claiming that my strategy is foolproof. Your results and your strategy will vary somewhat depending upon the weather. What I will do over the course of the scenario is explain my strategy and justify my d...

Please feel free to post feedback on the Walk-Through in this thread. I feel like I'm posting in a vacuum.

Is this the kind of information that's helpful or am I just confusing everyone with too much detail?

The 36th Regiment, a two-battalion regiment, has the following unmodified statistics: [CENTER][ATTACH]1795[/ATTACH][/CENTER] The numbers and values assigned to these units are essentially meaningless without some basis for comparison. We can see right away however that the 36th Regiment can take 18 ...

Note: You will see losses referred to as Hits in both the game and the manual but this term is slightly misleading. When a unit is ‘hit’ in combat, the actual damage it suffers from that ‘hit’ may vary from between one (1) and three (3) losses depending on the type of enemy unit that scored the ‘hit...

In fact, the single most important variable that gets factored into the combat resolution equation is leadership in the form of bonuses and abilities. The combat values of the elements themselves come in a poor second. For this reason, it is essential that you pay attention to the Leader’s ...

Strategic Rating and Attachment Radius The Strategic Rating is further used to determine an Army commander’s Attachment Radius. The Attachment Radius is the range at which an Army commander may attach (i.e. affiliate) a Corps to his Army. The Attachment Radius for Army commanders is equal to twice ...

THE BIG THREE No—I’m not referring to Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill. Every Leader (including spies, surgeons, engineers, etc.) has been given three ratings that correspond to his—or her in the case of Queen Marie-Louisa—real life leadership abilities. With regard to Leaders in Napoleon’s Campaig...

Having moved those artillery batteries and eliminated St. Cyr’s command penalty, it’s important to remember that small things sometimes have big consequences in this game. Because of the way combat is resolved, artillery batteries at the Division level only fire at enemy units that are engaging frie...

Fortunately, this is one of the easier restructurings you’ll probably do. We only need to reduce the Command points being used from 22 to 14 (St Cyr’s CP allowance) in order to eliminate this penalty. We can do this any number of ways but since we have eight loose batteries of artillery, our problem...

Command penalties reduce the movement speed and combat values of each of the elements in a particular Force. Not only does St. Cyr’s Corps now move 35% slower than it would without the penalty, it is also 35% less efficient in combat. Now, I realize that there are many of you out there thinking, “35...

Now that we understand the difference between Attachment radius and Command Radius, we should have a brief discussion about Command Points and Command Costs. Essentially, each Corps or Independent Force commander is allowed to command a certain number of units before he becomes overwhelmed with all ...

The Command Radius is the distance at which an Army Commander is able to pass on bonuses to Corps commanders. These bonuses are based on the Army commander’s Strategic, Offensive, and Defensive Ratings as follows: Command Point Bonus: Corps Commanders receive a number of Command Points equal to the ...
