I would demurr to an extent. In this conflict, the opposite sides had a decent idea of who the other fellow was. I totally agree with this. Most commanders of note knew many of the men they were facing, and likely had a relative understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. I have never used ran...

You mean like George Thomas?

Walter Geer's Campaigns of the Civil War is an awesome summary of the war.

When starting a fresh campaign before you can recruit units you can add replacements. Does adding replacements early help your newly recruited units say in the following turns when recruitment becomes and option. Basically does it fill new units more quickly. Also I have been fooling around with th...

What is a 'null' unit and why is this one?

The name of the Bde. above the element window is 'NULL.' It likely read the wrong column when naming, or the null was improperly added to the list of unit names.

You play the games on your schedule.

As the CSA: Chosing which rivers you are going to try and hold early on, and sticking to it as much as the situation allows. The biggest decision in these is the Ohio vs the Cumberland. In my experience, KY's resources are not worth extending yourself for. In VA, things are a little more clear cut, ...

A check is made of D100 <{less than} Stack Strength. +25 to stack strength if attribute “*pillage*” is applied to model. A die roll is made for 1-100. If the result is less than the Stack Strength (of the unit trying to cut the rail), the rail is cut. Add 25 to the Stack Strength if pillage has occ...

BTW, the MO Bty. 'AltArea' is '$Old_Northwest'.

In the Units DB file, there are two fields which cover this: 'Area' and 'AltArea'. If you don't want to deal with running it through the splitter, etc., you can just adjust the unit files individually by opening them as a text file and changing the appropriate values. (For the battery in question, w...

Mechanically, it will lower Jackson's desire to pull off of his attack. You will fight longer than if you were just on orange (etc.). In the future, you may find it is worth risking the additional casualties earlier to a) free up your stacks, and b) eliminate him when his retreat options are limited...

soloswolf

Forget the amphibious landing, go straight in. I am puzzled why with such a disparity in force you have not gone red/red. Even if the fort's walls are still standing, between Jackson's and Walker's corps you should have well more than enough to crush them, as well as his piecemeal reinforcements. Al...

I think what has been said regarding gaining more experience with the system is key. Over time, you will find ways to combat many of the concerns you have raised. On the topic of immersion: I don't really understand your issue. There are examples of every issue you are writing about occurring during...

Two things typically make Athena's moves look awful: 1) The tendency of many players to wait until everything is just so, and they have 'perfect' stacks before they move from their entrenchments. 2) Not giving her a fog of war bonus. I don't know how you play, so I can't entirely speak to the first,...

This is likely a Vista/general permission issue. Just right click on it and change the permissions/read-only status of the file and you should be able to do it just fine.

While I have seen lots of these words perusing the forums, most of what you have read is beyond my ken. If it helps, what editing I have done has just been playing with unit values and force pool sizes. I am willing to learn more certainly, but I have never written an event before. As I said, what I...

Hi all, I haven't played WiA in some time, but I am back to give it some more time in the sun. I had a question about modding the Colonial Regulars so that they do not leave after a few turns. (As I said, I haven't played in a while and I don't remember how long they stick around) Any ideas on how t...

soloswolf

It just means that there are orders for that given side for that file.

soloswolf

My experience is that all stacks seem to operate based on their individual postures.

As far as the size of the initiating stack, march at a size you would be willing to fight at. If no one shows up, your single unit could be destroyed and you Corps commander may get laid up for a while.

soloswolf

I think there is a 4* model of Grant for one of the scenarios, but AFAIK you can never promote someone to 4*.

Commanders stats increase with each star of experience. Defense increases on odd stars, offense on even.

dolphin wrote:All of Jacksons stats were reduced by -1.

If you redeployed him his stats should be -2/-2/-1 for the rest of the turn. That is a function of the redeployment, not the switching of corps command. But, you are definitely spot on for the exploit of transfering command of the corps.

I've seen PBEM house rules imposing a voluntary restriction on prodigal corps. But I don't think there's any code. It is, arguably, a fairly large hole in the code when a corps from Army of the Potomac comes ashore at New Orleans. I haven't played in a while, but I think the Corps status goes away ...

plasticpanzers, I'm not trying to be difficult. I really don't understand your interpretation. It's awesome that you love the game! This is the place to go to find out more about how to enjoy it. Your map comment did surprise me, as it is a point many people make when discussing the things they like...

AFAIK, that is the only map. i strongly dislike the original as i makes me feel i am sitting off to the side of a table looking at it from a distance and the graphics are not what a mapmaker of the time would produce. I have no idea what this means. :confused: (BTW, have you tried zooming, and the d...

As I said in your thread re: Choctaw (etc) units, this game is in a stage where items like this will not be changed. It's super cool to chat about all of this as a point of historical perspective, but looking at it through the lens of "why is this the way it is in the game?" is not going to be at al...

Howdy, The game is a few years old. For these units to enter into the current game, they would have to be created and added by a mod. Posting in the mod forums about how to do just that will be your best bet. Ageod just handles bigger bugs and the like. Welcome to our little corner of the internet!

Your the second person to mention that, but please consider the practice is my prefered style developed over many years. It is what comes naturally to me. Why is it that some people get bent out of shape because someone likes to do things a little different? I admit that really does drive alot of p...

While playing as the CSA, I have always had the Federals invade it. I just keep my men off the border and stay ready to retaliate. I don't think I have ever been the one to go in first. As an aside, Dolphin, we are all quite capable of parsing out your questions without the giant/bold text... :innoc...
