Just a thought on why TJ was idle in Winchester, late in '81 I was besieging Winchester and decided to destroy the Strasburg depot. With no depot nearby and the Union holding Charlottesville, Manassas and Covington, perhaps TJ's force in Winchester was out of supply?

Ledger question - I noticed that the ledger tabs now have new filters. Nice add on. However, I can't seem to find the 'generals' tab. It was always helpful to manage promotions.

Is there a way to access only generals in the ledger?

Hi all. Quick question about settings for a challenging game. I like to play as the Union and during my last game achieved a victory in early '63.

Off the top of my head, I don't recall how many divisions the Johnnies were able to field once the nation was fully mobilized. In v. 1.09 the confederates are able muster 24 divisions. I believe this is a decent estimate, however in game terms, if the rebels are doing well, this makes no sense. Any...
