Gray, NCP has suffered from a lack of a volunteer with the time, patience, historical knowlege, dedication and people skills that you posess. Lofifly has done a fine job with WIA, but does he have the time to prevent ROP from becoming the dead end that NCP has become? That is the question about NCP ...

I certainly respect all the effort that has gone into ACW, but no better example of "NCP Syndrome" is needed than that ACW becomes the topic here.

From British Army Officers Who Served in the American Revolution 1775-1783 : Howe Col. 11 May 1775; Clinton Col. 16 Dec 1778. These are regimental ranks. Howe became a Major General (permanent rank) 25 May, 1772. Clinton becomes a Lt General in America 1 Sep, 1775, but Howe's permanent Maj Gen rank ...

As the manpower strength of elements is abstracted by the number of hits an element can sustain, reckoning things by manpower numbers becomes an excercize in frustration. Generally in this game an element should represent two American or British companies and one German or French. The number of "hit...

I believe that historically, the only chance for British and/or French intervention on the side of the Confederacy would have been had they freed the slaves. But, what were they fighting for?

FM WarB

It's not the potholes I object to, it's the King's tollboothes. A short drive north of Bennington is the Hubbarton battlefield (the only Revolutionary war battle fought IN Vermont).

Gentleman Johnny was originally sent to Boston. He argued for his famed scheme when he returned to London. The dunce Germaine bought it after the Brits managed to get themselves pushed out of Beantown. I dare say with all kind felicitations, e&c, that had Gentleman Johnny remained in Boston, with tr...

Excessive battle losses is an issue that has been addressed in ACW. I do not know if it has for NCP.

FM WarB

Redeemer, I believe you got fooled to play with historical strategies and tactics. One easily falls to that trap because the game at first glance appears historical, but if you want to play it competetively, forget about history. Ahistorical strategies and troop-compositions is the way to go in thi...

Careful; we do not want to turn cavalry into Panzers. The efficiency of light cav of all nations in the recon role was patchy at best. Most famous heavy cavalry charges were battlefield expedients, due to shortage, or disorder of infantry troops. Spiking cannon was less prevalent than some think. Ho...

The Schlieffen Plan was faulty. It aimed for a quick knockout blow ignoring logistics, the fatigue of right wing long marches, and Brit intervention caused by attacking Belgium. Two more Korps would have been no help on the right wing, as they couldnt be supplied. Schlieffen wasnt the only one promi...

4) As Union, running a cav division to a region adjacent to Richmond for one turn in 1861 to avoid the -10 morale hit

What would be the morale hit of a 1st Bull Run style defeat for the Union?

And maybe we should define gamey.

Commanders we can all (I hope) agree to scorn: 1) Conrad. Had he not ruined the best of the AH army in 1914 and early 1915 with his rail mobilization fiasco and overambitious, costly offensives, AH might not have been the weakling it was for the rest of the war. 2) Enver Pasha. His mismanagement of ...

Hi By the way, as you can see in the attached picture of my current 1775 campaign as the British, the fact that von Knyphausen is embedded with his own regiment don't impede him at all to actually command a "wing" of the army, as by chance, its how i'm using him :thumbsup: [ATTACH]5186[/ATTACH] You...

FM WarB

Ownership is not the same as command of a regiment. Fusilier Regiment von Knyphausen, for example, was owned by von Knyphausen but commanded by Col. von Bork. General Lieutenant von Knyphausen was busy commanding a division, or "wing." If we are taking ownership to mean command , why not imbed Howe ...

As I understand it, a depot represents not only the hex it occupies, but it's relationship to the owning side's supply line and capability. Thus Jackson's corps gorged on what they could and burned the rest, when they captured the Union depot at Manassas in 1862. It was impracticable to form a Confe...

I too am considering purchasing WIA and have BoA. Certain issues from BoA, such as portage links have been addressed. Others, such as AI winter death marches have not.
Do the German forces still have commanders imbedded in regiments, or has that oob/command issue been fixed?

FM WarB

The "Russian" forces in their Army of the Caucusses consisted in large proportion of locally raised troops of Armenian and other local ethnic groups. No Muscovite cared if they died.

FM WarB

The borders changed after Napoleon's victory in 1809. Would merely changing loyalty of certain provinces do the trick?

I'll make you a deal: buy the game, and I'll send you a 'Gentleman Johnny' mod that puts him where you want. One time offer, to one location of your choice ;) Six out of eight aint bad. A tempting offer, Gn'l Greene! With this slip pf (cyber) paper, If I cant beet Bobby Lee, I'm willing to go home....

FM WarB

Which portage links have been added? How and where can the opposing sides build fleets on Lake Champlain? (if they can)

FM WarB

As I decide whether to use Aegod's Christmas present, I wonder if portage links have been added and if anything about variable Burgoyne entry has been done.

FM WarB

How about books on oobs? Je peut lire francais. Ich kann Deutsch lesen. It seems sources on l'armee francais are the most difficult to find.

Rod Steiger got the myth right in the film "Waterloo"...."Soldiers of the Fifth!...IF you want to kill your Emperor *heheh*, here I am!"

Praise the Lord and pass the Ammunition?

Who stole your icecream?...*LoL*
The map is disorienting,,,having strat maps facing the normal way would make it worse.
I'm still waiting before I consider buying this game.

FM WarB

I wasn't going to include movies, but I DID learn alot from Woody Allen's "Love and Death"

Do conscripts arrive in their supposed states of origin?

FM WarB

So its ok to patch up from 104b?
I notice re. ACW talk of needing clean install for patching to avoid possible hassles. Not the case with NCW?
