for me its gotta be playing the British Empire first! i kinda like the micro management it would incure, supposingly of course that you would have to support a recruitment programme for all the variuos people that would fill its ranks. British, Canadian, Indian, Australian, New Zealanders, South Afr...

a tournament would be a great idea! however you talk about PBEM and how it works and stuff and how it would be possible to cheat easily. surely however it would be harder to cheat if you incorporated some third party and players sumbitted there orders to the third party hosting the game? and somehow...

i think a even if your forces where set to a passive state, the fact that the enemy made a naval landing which many people say is a "do or die" mission i believe your forces would have used some AI of there own and repelled the landing attack anyway.

Ethy

hardly immense loses though dude even if he did stand his ground at a situation of 10 - 1

Ethy

theres too many variables to consider when conducting a battle to predict loses etc with regards to entrenchment, weather, generals, subbordinats, fatigue etc which is wat makes AACW such a great game. may i remind you that even if one army has less loses in a battle they can still loose the battle ...

i concur, if you are repairing a railroad that has been damaged and cut the line you can repair it with any infantry or cavalry unit, an engineer will speed up the process but 9/10 it will only take 1 turn to repair anyway

i have to admit when i first started playing the game i liked playing with the union, however as my knowledge and experience of the game has grown i must say my preference has now switched to the confederacy. the union although more to manage in the way of units has little to worry about its economi...

i have never seen this event happen

Ethy

i remember someone commenting a few months ago about generals either being captured or killed. its an interesting prospect for the game knowdoubt, however it takes a lot of thinking to put it into concept. the risk of generals being killed off might make the player a little conservative in fear of l...

Ethy

you sure you didnt just miss the victory screen? if you had control of every major objective with the morale of 210 like you said then it should have come up

Ethy

all your families historys are very moveing and its good to talk about wat our ancestors did, im english so my ancestors never had anything to do with the ACW but probebly reading about it in the newspaper however its strange to think that your ancestors many years ago probebly where taking potshots...

i like the north because my favorite colour is blue

Ethy

wat about?

you get into a disagreement with some guy at work and you really wanna win the argument so you hope for foriegn intervention (from another employee)

Ethy

in my opinion the CSA wether playing AI or a human opponent can never win naval superiority over the USA due to the fact that there WS supply is so stretched throughout the war you shouldnt really invest in much more than replacing the blockade runners you are given. as for your ironclads there usef...

Regardless of whether you think it's a good idea or not (I personally would like the flexibility to do so, but understand others may not), the fact remains there are Confederate 4 Star Generals in the Game. Check out the Gettysburg and forward campaigns - Lee and Beauregard are both 4 Star Generals...

Ethy

There is a 4-star general that you never get control of on the CSA side, who is available for a very limited amount of time in 1861 -- but he starts that way and isn't promoted to 4-star rank. yeah your right the CSA general cooper is a 4 star general and outranks all the confederate generals in th...

Ethy

The Confederates stay usually calm in Virginia the whole year, with my two corps around Washington I always manage easely to take Manassas and Fredericksburg. I usually need to withdraw as I am lacking forces to keep Washington protected. However, in each and every game they (Corps, Armies, Divisio...

Ethy

wat we gotta remember is that this game is purely a "what if" game, the game does have to have historical accuracy but not at the expence of loosing the "what if" factor, otherwise a lot of generals would just suddenly disapear leaving armies on the field without good leadership.

Ethy

are you sure that the victory screen hasnt come up already?

Ethy

According to a passage in Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, Vol 1 in reference to the Indian brigades. This passage isn't necessarily describing Stand Watie's brigade but in general: [INDENT]They fought very well when they had an opportunity to take shelter behind trees and logs, but could not ...

Ethy

i guess i would just like to see more NM points taken off if a more senior general is in command and looses a major battle. like you refered to the battle of Gettysburg i think it was a demorolising defeat for Lee as he lost the battle to someone much his junior in seniority in terms of rank as Mead...

Ethy

yep, having a garrison aswell as an outside force is always a bonus

Ethy

AFAIK, the political rating only comes into play when you wish to bypass a general who is senior in order to promote a general with less seniority, assign a junior general to command an army or remove a senior general from army command. i knew that however would it not be a good idea as it is to en...

Ethy

it does give you a bombardment advantage i think... but lets not forget the fact that you can do both, keep some troops inside as a garrison force and some outside to patrol the countryside to eliminate the threat of a siege. then you can boost your entrenchment level with having both a fort and tre...

Ethy

Is there actually a battlefield effect from political ratings? If so, how does this work? there isnt a direct battle effect on political ratings no but it is after the battle, won or lost that olitical support comes into play. having a general incharge of an army who has a low political rating and ...

Ethy

the more ammount of green in the ring usually indicates that the battle is going well yes! the more red there is the more likely you are to be subjected to heavy loses in a battle and loss of equipment, however it is a rough guide to how well your doing in regards to those factors of how many men yo...

Ethy

my analysis of the situation would be that your commanding general had his political support number was low at the time and with such over whealming odds in such a crucial battle in Nashville in which you inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy but let them retreat. it may just be plausable that you...

Ethy

hehe i love good old Stand Watie! :indien: however to use him affectivly i find its best to let him recruit a few cherokee troops and have him in command of the cherokee section causing as much pandamonium as he can in Missouri and with help from a little recruitment of Missouri Militia popping up i...

River Transports provide an excellent supply line yes! without a substantial river floatilla you will soon find transport of troops and supplies will be far harder and you may find yourself loosing valuable brigades due to them being unsupplied, therefor an ample supply of river transports is advise...
