from the manual

the following units may not receive replacements -

elements that are part of a divisional component unit (component units must first be detached from divisions).

what does this mean?

startin to get random ctds while clickin on unit cards on the map. ive send the save game and logs to the email addy in the sticky above.

thanks for your response. the prussian stack needs to take an offensive posture to enter bergamo so its just weird that the enemy stack can begin the next turn in bergamo with attackin my forces there. the enemy stack doesnt arrive until day 7 so dunno if thats part of the reason. as i said it hasnt...

tonedog

just run turn 1 again as france and look at the battle result in bergamo. ive re-run it several times and although i dont always lose the battle the battle result screen doesnt match up the forces involved. maybe its a just a nuance with the game engine. i just worked around it by fallin back to mil...

ignore. turns out my corp keeps retreating on the last day no matter what posture i set. this is gettin weirder and weirder. i have 30000 men in this core. the only way to stop it retreating is the hold at all cost order. the messages indicate i engaged the coalition (shouldnt they engage me as im i...

ok very confused now, the guy in the last post said there are weight restrictions and your sayin you dont think there!

hasnt the situation i explained above happened to anyone else or is this a bug?

tonedog

anyone?

tonedog

ok my corp is in Cottbus and im tryin to move to Kustrin which takes me through the Frankfurt an der oder region. when i break the corp down to divs i can cross ok so it must be due to weight. the heaviest div i have is 19 and it can cross ok so what is the rule regarding weight and river crossing? ...

whats the deal with river crossings in NC? im tryin to move a corp over a frozen river but its sayin one the units cant enter. is there a rule about certain units not bein able to cross frozen rivers? this leads to my 2nd question, why would such a rule be in place? surely rivers in NC have bridges ...

tonedog

ok i stand corrected on the save game issue

now about those corps? why didnt they all move with the hq unit, or is the tutorial wrong about that and they must all be moved manually?

tonedog

ok i just had something really annoying just happen, well 2 things actually. 1 - im playin the austerlitz scenario as the french. i thought all i had to do was move the army hq unit and all the attached corps would move with it as long as i clicked syncronize. well it didnt happen, i checked all the...

tonedog

got another question so may as well post it here. does anyone have any info on all the types of specialist units, sappers etc? i cant find any info on what they all do in the manual.

plus, do u attach these special units to divs or just leave them at corp level?

thanks in advance

hi guys, ive just bought NC's and i thought id pop in and say hello. im plannin on spendin the next couple of weeks learnin the game before cuttin my teeth on a MP game against one of u would be napoleons. got a question about some settings, in particular the activation and delayed commitment rules....

tonedog

so polk has seniority of 1 and bragg has 2. if i promote polk then i lose points because bragg has a higher sen rating? the tooltip doesnt say there will be an penalty though and these skill increases/losses, are they totally random or are they scripted for what general i promote? so the main reason...

tonedog

what are the pros and cons to promoting generals? im playin as the csa and general polk (2 star) and general bragg (1 star) are now promotable.

it cost 25 victory points to promote right?

tonedog

is there a max limit on how many command point a stack can have? also, if i make a general and corp commander can he also be a divisional commander or is there a penalty?

tonedog

so have many players had wins as the csa by actually breakin the norths morale? ive started umpteen games now as the csa and am havin great fun tryin to win. in my current game i thought i was doin well when i defeated a uniion army of 70000 with my 40000 army at fredericksburg. they then hit me wit...

tonedog

how exactly does "march to the guns" work? i had two corps in ajoining regions. corp 1 was in a defensive stance. the region corp 1 was in also contained an enemy army. i wanted corp 2 to attack the enemy stack so i ordered it to do so. does corp 1 have to be in an offensive stance to march to the g...

tonedog

im guessin the reason is that the units are locked which tends to happen from time to time, especially at the start of the war. hover the mouse over the units in question and it should tell u

tonedog

is there any advantage in having units simply attached to a stack and not actually part of a division, for example having a corp with 3 divisions in it and having an arty unit attached to the stack instead of bein in one of the divisions?

tonedog

can u point to where on the wiki your gettin that info cos i cant find it? so if it says 50% in the blockade box then that means that the north is cuttin my income in half. that kinda makes sense but what doesnt make sense to me is that if would affect what i actually produce. and about blockade run...

tonedog

great stuff. what about the percentage number in the blockade boxes? when the war starts they are at 25% then go down to 15%, what do they signify? a big problem with playin the csa apart from the lack of war supply, is that the north can land troops from the sea with impunity cos of the lack of nav...

tonedog

ok ive got a fleet question.

is it more effective to stack blockade runners together or is it better to have lots of seperate blockade runners? the same question goes for blockading

tonedog

me and 2 other guys have a game goin with me as usa, and them as germany and russia. we're into 1939 now (1936 scenario) and would really like someone to join as japan. we play mainly weekends now but if we got another euro based player then that would give us another option of maybe playin once dur...

tonedog

i must be blind but i cant find the "make a poll" option

tonedog

Ive been readin up a but on the civil war and it seems pretty obvious that the CSA really needs a miracle to win, what with the population and industry that the north have. did the south ever have a realistic chance of winnng the war in reality? and ingame, i wonder what the percentage is of players...

tonedog

ok im in late october and am thinkin of goin on the offensive. whats the best method to try and take large cities? what posture do i use to simple besiege a city and not assault it? and how long does it take to capture a city? how much arty is required to have any success? also, is it a bad idea to ...

tonedog

lol im actually playin as the csa not the north. most of the generals are 1 or 2 star and they always seem to be inactive, ive played 12 turns now and i reckon they have only been active for maybe 3 or 4 of those which seems a bit harse. i just thought maybe there was some way of increasin the chanc...

tonedog

whats the deal with most of my generals always bein inactive? ive played 6 months game time now and most of my generals are inactive, is this to signify early warfare, does it improve and what can i do to improve it?
